Rams play at home vs Dallas (they did play opening game ve Tampa this year though), Denver (If Rodgers goes there as speculated it may be an option) and San Francisco as well. Bengals play at home vs. Baltimore (you know networks love them some Lamar), Miami (The NFL return of the "other" Harbaugh) and a rematch with Kansas City. While we are on the list for both, it's less than a foregone conclusion by any means IMO. Quote

Big Turk Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) McVay will coach scared again... Off topic but I looked back at the Bills 52-17 loss to the Cowboys and completely forgot they had 9!! Turnovers(4 INT and 5 lost fumbles) in that game and another 3 fumbles they recovered. Has there ever been a game in NFL history that featured 12 potential turnovers by one team, let alone in the Super Bowl?? Edited January 31, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote
Chicken Boo Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Aaron Donald is one of the most dominant forces the NFL has ever seen. I'd like to see him complete his career with a SB victory. Joe Burrow is an awesome guy. I'm a fan. Wouldn't mind seeing him win one as well. Sucks Geno Atkins has missed all of this. Edited January 31, 2022 by Chicken Boo 1 Quote
davefan66 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Bengals are for real. Them beating the chiefs isn’t redemption, but makes me able to watch the SB. Feel they have a very good shot at winning. Not a fan of the Rams. Maybe jealous, but hate when teams “buy” or mortgage the future to win championships - Stafford, Michel, Beckham, Miller, Ramsey. They don’t have a first round pick until 2024. Not quite as obvious as the Yankees have done over the years, but not the home grown route others take. Maybe I’m jealous the Bills didn’t go after some of these guys (or others) that may have gotten us over the top. Lastly, not a fan of players who pick teams based on SB possibility. Hate Beckham and don’t feel he deserves a SB after busting himself off two teams. He’s definitely not one of the players I wish we had gone after. Again maybe jealous we didn’t go all out, but prefer the sustainable approach, not a one shot. Edited January 31, 2022 by davefan66 1 Quote

But, Rams have a team full of ego, I wonder what 2 weeks off and having the game at home in LA will do to their mindset. Should be an interesting game. I’m really pulling for the Bungels. Yeah, I ‘m rooting for the Bengals partly because I don’t know anyone that’s a fan of theirs and partly because they haven’t won any. I also can’t root for an LA team for various reasons. Quote

Greg S Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 9 hours ago, FrenchConnection said: Only if Cincinnati wins. Those opening games are almost always conference games. Everyone in the North is a strong rivalry between all the teams. With the Jackson back I could see Ravens and Bengals. The Steelers are always a popular choice for primetime given their national following. It will depend on their offseason and who they get to replace Ben. Then there is the battle of Ohio but Mayfield is meh. Unless of course the league doesn't want a divisional matchup to open with. Quote

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 11 hours ago, \GoBillsInDallas/ said: Well, somebody has to start the thread. You're not wrong with the title, but WTF is it with "neutral fields" for the Superbowl turning in to "at home" 2 years in a row? I don't know what to think about this game. Part of me wants to see Stafford win a championship, as a reward for 12 years of dreary slog in the Detroit wasteland. Part of me will projectile vomit if I see Stan Kroenke hoisting a Lombardi. Judging by friends and neighbors locally, the number of people in St Louis with similar tendencies might pose a serious solid waste problem to the city. Part of me is rooting for Joe Burrow. Part of me thinks Stafford's QB play (or the plays McVay calls) are a bit bizzare. Stafford came one dropped pick away from losing the game, and threw into double coverage enough to be a trend. 1 Quote
maddenboy Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I want the Rams for one reason only: I dont want Tom Brady to be able to say he's he the only QB to win a superbowl in his home stadium. Edited January 31, 2022 by maddenboy 1 Quote
PetermansRedemption Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Not a huge Stafford fan and the Bengals took down the Chiefs in spectacular fashion. With that, I’ll be rooting for the Bengals. Win or loss though, this is going to be the most enjoyable Super Bowl that I can remember for sometime. No Brady or Mahomes makes it a good day. 1 Quote
BarleyNY Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 12 hours ago, HappyDays said: If I was a Bengals fan I'd be terrified of the Rams DL going against a very bad OL. The Rams are a really bad matchup for them. I don't expect this game to be close. I see it the same way. Aaron Donald is going to have a field day unless the refs let the Bengals OL tackle him on every play. Burrow might get crippled. Quote
FilthyBeast Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Given both teams current momentum and other various circumstances, this is going to be one of the tougher SB games in recent memory to accurately predict. My gut feeling tells me the Bengals win by another razor slim margin but certainly can't discount the Rams and being the 2nd straight team to host the SB on their home field. If I was a betting man certainly wouldn't touch this one with a 10 foot pole so to speak. Quote
