stevegrab Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Rams by a TD, their DL is too much for the Bengals OL. Would be the first SB win for the Rams in LA, not their first SB win (STL Rams 1999) nor the teams first title in LA (LA Rams 1951) heck they even had a title back in 1945 as the Cleveland Rams. Of the historical firsts mentioned in the article, UNDERDOGS, first time two teams seeded 3 or lower meet in the Super Bowl. I think that many fans will enjoy that, while some others will lament the absence of the top (and better known) teams (and some of their star players).

That's kinda where I'm leaning right now to but the injuries and Matthew Stafford have me a little worried. The Rams had no business winning yesterday, that dropped INT was pathetic.

No it doesn't kill me, they are more kindred spirits than hated rivals. Their fans are also not tools like many of the front runner teams. I'd be rooting for them if the 49ers made it, just don't care for that team. I grew up in LA, Rams were pretty good then (70-81), and they were our local team. So I'll be pulling for them, I also like Stafford and would like to see him get a ring after struggling for years on the Lions. Won't even bother me that OBJ is on the team and gets his ring.

Is it a rivalry there? Cincinnati doesn't seem like much of a football City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers have always been the Browns main rival, until the original Browns moved to Baltimore. Now I'd say they've either taken over, or at least climbed up to a strong 2nd place. There is some in state rivalry with the Bengals, but nothing approaching the dislike we have for PIT/BAL. Bengal fans have suffered thru a lot over the decades, horrible ownership, some bad coaching and so on. So I can relate and don't really hate the idea of them winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the king of hot takes, I suspect he listens to tons of sports talk radio, because he sounds just like them. Also don't forget Jimmy G 16 of 30 Stafford 31 of 45 (53 vs 69%) But stats don't matter to LC, only "what he sees". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There was nearly 10 minutes left in the game when the drop happened, it happened on the Rams side of the field, and it was a 3 point game. The INT would not have guaranteed SF additional points by any means and Rams probably get at least two more drives in all likelihood. At that point in the game Rams were moving the ball more effectively than the 49ers. Edited January 31, 2022 by Bobby Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford basically gave them a gift. Of course the Rams are better, the better team doesn't always win, ask the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I believe that the Rams were out of timeouts by that point. A game is over because SF has the ball on their own 35 yard line with almost 10 minutes left, leading by 3? Because the Rams have no timeouts? Boy that is as big a stretch as I've ever heard. Especially considering the 49ers were no offensive juggernaut in the game, and had just had a 3.5 minute possession that ended with a punt. Really, this is your football genius shining thru? COME ON MAN! Are you talking about some other near interception? If so where and when, watch the video below and tell us. The near pick is around the 9 minute mark of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXrR7xwvokU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
