For me it was the injuries, awful playcalling, and suspect calls/non calls that takes it down several notches. This has the feel of the 89 Super Bowl, and I'm sure the same for older Cincy supporters - same score and tense ending, but an overall mediocre game

For a game that went down to the wire, this sure felt underwhelming

F yes

Moronic play to try for a pick there. What a choker

Sad but true

Bad luck aside, it seems safe to say that Boy Wonder has been officially exposed as not a SB caliber head coach

Bingo. These are probably the worst 2 teams to compete in a Super Bowl that I can remember. There's a reason why the combined seeding for this game is the lowest in SB history

Let's run it again for negative 2 lol

It won't matter because the Rams are a shell of themselves right now and McVay is choking it away

If we wait another few minutes and the Rams get back into it I'm sure Kupp will then tear his ACL

He has as many passing td's in 4 games so far as Allen had in 1. It's going to be nauseating

Oh, I don't know maybe the fact they are an inferior team to the Bills with a crap fan base who is getting an insane amount of luck? Tell me you think Cincy deserves this to happen. Catch lightning in a bottle in their first chance and go all the way. There's plenty to hate

The whole post season has been that way for them

It's amazing how much I have come to hate the Bengals in such a short period of time...

Sickening. Now Obj probably is done. If the Bengals win they may be the luckiest SB winner ever

So far this game is about what I expected. Neither team is very impressive

I am so unenthused about this matchup. Two difficult to like teams with bad fan bases

Yeah, I wouldn't put the Bengals fan base even in the same conversation. The team has been bad but in no way, shape, or form should Cincy get a chip before Buffalo

This x 1000 percent. It's great we will probably run the ball better but we do NOT need a shift in offensive philosophy. I hope and believe we will remain a dominant pass oriented team

Probably a dumb question, but does anyone believe this hire indicates an emphasis on more of a run oriented offense? I remember him being highly regarded because of how well we ran the ball back then, but I don't want the Bills to become more focused on maulers who can't pass protect when your best asset is Allen. Admittedly I don't know much about Kromer's blocking scheme...

I fully agree that Dorsey was the Bills top choice, but if he wanted to join Daboll in NY there's nothing Buffalo could have done about it

Happy to hear this. Continuity is great and some of the other rumored candidates were rather uninspiring

Good points. I do give Joe credit for some big time scrambles in the 4th quarter. He definitely is a cool customer with a lot of moxie. But the numbers don't lie between Allen and Burrow. You could point out that Burrow's oline is trash, but does anyone think Allen couldn't operate just as effectively behind it? He also has better receivers, a far better running back, and apparently a much better defense as well. I'm just not ready to the hear the canonization of Joe Burrow and the narrative of "Well, Burrow is 1-0 in the playoffs vs. Mahomes while Allen is 0-2". It's flat out ridiculous. Anybody with 2 functioning eyes can see that Allen is a greater player, at least at this point. And while I don't like KC or Mahomes, I also don't have an irrational hatred of them just because they beat us. They're good, we had our chance, and the coaches blew it. What I really don't want is for Cincy to catch fire and win a SB in basically one try after 30 years of not having a single playoff victory. Anyhow, Go Rams

Because that's how it works with the press. It's started already. Interviews about how Burrow led Cincy to victory, when his defense held KC scoreless 7 of 8 possessions from the end of the first half. I mean, he's obviously a good qb but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire in the playoffs

Yep, and it won't even matter that Allen played far superior to Burrow. The Bills got the L, and the friggin Bengals are in the Super Bowl
