Jimmy G is Jimmy G. Great moments, not consistently great. Has a case of the nerves when the going gets tight.

Very prone to throwing interceptions.

If I was a 49'er fan I'd be so upset right now.... they REALLY need a QB.

However while that game didn't quite measure up to the AFC match, it was still a lot of fun to watch! (unless of course you're a SF fan!!)

:D

In other news the Raiders fire interim coach Rich Bisaccia and hire Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as head coach, interesting in that Bisaccia led them to a playoff berth, only the 2nd one in the last 19 years.

The rest of the AFC West in laughter, especially in Broncos fans.

Gee, I wonder if he makes a trade of Derek Carr for Ryan Tannehill to downgrade the QB position there, just like he did with kicking out Cutler for Orton.

The what-could-have-been if they took in Tom Brady. Could you imagine Kittle and Gronk together?

Well, again, our perspective is what the TV camera is showing us, the LOS. Was anyone getting open for him to even throw to?, if you watched Bradys last game as a Pat vs the Titans you saw a lot of the same, checkdowns that went nowhere, Brady sacked or picked off, ect. We all now know what the problem was and it was not Brady.

I think Gronk is done, still effective as a blocker and pass catcher but 11 years in the NFL as a TE is a long time.

Eh, thisNFC one was consistently more violent and hard-hitting.

The other was different. Chiefs were razor sharp in the 1st half, had a dumb moment, and then they became a little less sharp. Very David vs. Goliath since everything appeared poised for the Chiefs to take the victory but they did enough to not get the prize.

The niners have needed a QB for more than 10 years.

Rams definitely should be the favorite to win it all. If Cincy somehow manages to win, might as well call Burrow The Next One.

On paper, yea, here's the thing about this Cinci team, they give zero shits about paper or who the "experts" predict will win. After 9 sacks last week the "experts" said the O-line will stop them from beating KC, they only allowed one sack and they won.

I had an 11 pick sgp on dk. Missed just chase 74.5 yds. 🤦. 10 bucks. 😂

I did put 10 on rams at +260 when sf went up 10. 😂

As you can see. I do not like to gamble.

Well, I did pick them this game . ;)

Just that Aaron Donald having his way against a clearly poor Oline is something even I cannot just disregard.


Tenacity is something this Bengals team has. Their QB also inspires them so they will give it their all and not quit. And Burrow’s mental toughness is really deep. The pick he threw did not get to him, and he even managed a couple scrambles. He never gets happy feet.

They are used to these close games as the situation has popped all the time this season. But his Oline is going to face a nasty Dline. As I said, if Burrow really overcomes that, that would be legendary.

Yea, the Rams line was making JG pretty miserable at the end there, Niners still had a shot though, dropping that Stafford gift that hit the DB on the numbers didn't help
