It's crazy that people wanted the Bengals to draft Penei Sewell over Chase. Chase might already be the best receiver in the league.

I remember the comments when I did my mock and put Chase there over Sewell. I changed it in the 2nd version, then switched it back to Chase. The chemistry Burrow and Chase already had was obviously too good to pass up. The Bengals, obviously, made the right choice.

Rams offense doesn’t look very good. Bengals are just waiting to explode.

I'm not sure. I didn't think there was contact. Cincinnati should have challenged that, IMO. Should have been first and goal at the 4.

I agree.  maybe didn't want to waste a challenge?  he def caught ball after being touched

I'm not sure if its my feed (ESPN), but this stadium feels so hollow. I guess its all those neutral fans?

Not a culture guy

Winning a Super Bowl is great for the culture and Beane called Broncos

[JESSEFEFFER]

Seemed like the only contact on Chase was before the catch was made.  Should have been more yards?

I think it's a 50/50 split between Rams and Bengals fans. Bengals fans showed up big

ObJ TD

Von Miller pass knock down

Beane sitting at home counting his draft picks

[Steptide]

Collinsworth is miserable because Mahomes isn't playing 

[buffblue]

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

you mean honoring!

 

Every Bills game I attended, going back to 1980, the parking lot always, reminded me of an invading horde preparing for battle.  The drinking of meade, the eating of meat, gathered round campfires growling, yelling, waving their banners.

 

Awesomeness to the max.

[Niagara Dude]

I want Rams to win this so it gives Beane some motivation to make some moves ,  Rams have been aggressive

These teams look about even to me.  Impressed with Bengals D despite the OBJ score.  As always, a turnover will end up being a huge swing for one of these teams

You're probably right but I bet they are regretting that decision right now.

Yes, but Burrow cannot continue to take the beating he takes.

They should make a lot more challenges available for SB

[billsherd]

I find myself cheering for the Bengals but want Rams to win.

Most, including me, felt rookies don't make serious impacts, toss in the Bengals Oline looked weaker than their WR core.

 

It's so much easier to find good o-linemen later in the draft or free agency. Game changing WRs are rare. Also I subscribe to the belief that o-lines are only as good as their weakest member. Upgrading one spot on the line doesn't make a huge difference. Getting a #1 WR changes the entire complexion of your offense. It was never really a debate IMO.

If those guys can make the Hall of Fame then Steve Tasker should be in the Hall.
