Well, time to see if Joe Burrow can indeed join the other Joes.

With that Rams’ pass rush, I’m not optimistic.

that unnecessary roughness? it looked clean

Hes talking about the defensive holding. Technically it was the right call but they haven’t been calling fouls like that all they much tonight.

The unnecessary roughness and the DPI both had to be called.

What a game. Bengals putting up a fight. I didn't expect it to be this close. Now, let's see if Joe can at least tie the game.

Yeah they don't call shirts being clearly pulled but that gets called near the end?

Damn, GG Rams. That last sack gave me Jimmy G flashbacks in the Niners vs. Rams game. Just seeing the QB make a desperation thrown mid-sack.

Geez, I know Donald is a tough guy to block but couldn't they just slow him down for ONE FRIGGING SECOND so Burrow had a chance to make a play?

Refs needed one make up call for the no face mask on Higgins. They threw out three. The hard hit on Kupp was clean and to the chest.

OVERALL the officials had a decent game.... only two completely blown calls is (sadly) pretty damn good in the NFL these days.

At least it was one for each side.... :rolleyes:

Exciting game and went pretty much the way I expected.... Stafford proved the problem WAS in fact the Lions!

;)

Burrow still gave the viewer a flash of hope that it could have actually worked. Just not enough time.

He sure did and that HUGE drop by Boyd the possession before could have easily changed the outcome, the result was 4th and 9, way too far for a legit shot of making it. I feel bad for Boyd as he normally is extremely sure-handed but was caught looking up field as that ball arrived.

I feel good that Stafford/kup/etc are finally getting rings....I also feel bad that the Bengals came so close...

Burrows is really young though...

That last scoring drive by the Rams was great but to me the LA defense won this game with the final stand culminating in game-ending sack.

I'm fairly confident we have not seen the last of these Bengals in the playoffs!

Uzomah was the open man on that fourth and one play but Donald got there when he got open.

It's really bad those two calls really changed the game. But pretty good game outside those two things
