Super Bowl Week

Cooper Kupp finishes with 178 catches for 2,425 yards over 21 games, most in NFL history


Kupp just capped off the greatest WR season in the history of the league. Well done. The only record he missed was the TD record which is still held by Randy Moss.

The SB All 22 is out, so if there's any play you wanna see, just reply to this post and I'll edit it out !

I'll start with the most obvious missed call of the game, Ramsey getting face masked. The Field Judge can't see it, and the Back Judge is in a good position mechanics wise, but very far and just turning from the left side of the field where he had to look at his key receiver, hard to blame him for not seeing it IMO. Just a case of humans being humans and not seeing everything.

Saw an exchange about wether or not the ball was catchable on the last play of the game, it wasn't, bounces of the ground way before it's in Perine's reach ;-)

Chase had Ramsey beaten for a TD though...

Any play you have in mind ?

It was a good game. Was pulling for the Bengals because the Rams are a douche organization. I hope the city of LA enjoys it because the Rams will move to a new city in 10 years that offers the owner a better stadium deal like they always do. What a soft money whore or mercenary take your pick.

+1 Kroenke is a douche. I don't mind the Rams organization - remember when they were wallowing around 8-8 every year with Jeff Fisher. But Kroenke bought the team with no intention of keeping it in St. Louis. I think his bottom line is money too.

I find the owners business practices sleazy.

Ah, should have said the Rams owner instead of Rams organization as it implies you don't like anyone within the organization including the players.

Kroenke is a greedy bastard but he also earned a super bowl trophy.
They went all in this year and it worked out.

All owners are greedy bastards for the most part.

I mean let's look at Snyder, he could walk away with $4.5 billion dollars from selling the team and that will not be enough for him.

Also, look at the financial structure of the NFL and how much the owners have the financial power over players in terms of shared revenue (although at lot of that is the NFLPA being inept as a bargaining unit).

super rich people like having things others can't have its more then just money when it comes to owning a nfl team you are part of a very small elite group.

he wants the power not the money.

Ego and the little man complex. What's a bigger flex for a little man like Snyder than being 1 of 32 NFL franchise owners? He's got to protect his ability to rub elbows with Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise.

OK, it was a fraction more than a foot :)

That last play exemplified where I felt the Bengals struggled. Seems to me, you have to get that yard so anything and everything should be focussed on that 1 yard with the possibility of 1 deep option. Chase does his job by not only getting open deep but pulling coverage away from the flat. Burrow should have had that as 1st read if only to keep coverage deep with his eyes. I haven't found a good replay to identify the routes on the far side, but he looks left for a 2 count and never looks to Chase. He only looks at Perine when he's in the grasp and it's too late (and Perine is only 'open' after the play breaks down). Everyone else is covered tight, and arguably in a couple of cases not really working extra hard to get open (and quickly). If it was me, I'd have run that play on 3rd down with Mixon in the backfield to tease run, then run the ball on 4th when they expect pass.

The Rams made it a point to involve their best player(s) down the stretch in the most important game of the year; the Bengals did not.

That was what decided the game in my opinion.
