Game Thread: Super Bowl LVI: Cincinnati Bengals vs LA Rams (630 EST Kickoff)

You mean Stafford's drive?

Let me think.........

Montana in 23
Montana in The Catch
Elway in The Drive
Unitas in the first overtime game in 1958
Green Bay in the Ice Bowl
Giants taking 9:29 to start the 2nd half of 25
Elway in 32
Eli in 42
Big Ben in 43
Overtime in 51

Not even close.

Really the only impressive thing about this last drive was that McVay went for it on 4th and 1 on his own 30. I dont know if that is a sign of a lucky moron or just a stroke of genius

Ramsay is holding Higgins right arm down. Higgins grabs his helmet. From the backside angle it looked like Higgins was trying to get his left arm up and Ramsey ran into it. So he pulled him out of the way. There is a ref standing right behind this play. Again, he probably thought that it went both ways. View attachment 22901

Huge stretch.

Plus you're looking at one frame not the actual video.

Just wait until next year when the Rams (or whatever team he is with) are 2-5 and he demands another trade to a playoff team.

He is just a more tolerable AB.

 

[81usaf92]

He won’t get another opportunity like this one. Tampa was completely wrecked and he almost lost that game. San Fran was lucky to be there and he nearly blew that one. And now Cincinnati. That’s three straight woefully overmatched teams that he nearly lost to each time.

Had they played KC or Buffalo tonight then they would have gotten massacred.

You’re just gonna keep bending logic until you’re right, huh?

That’s a still frame, there’s video above showing the full interaction. He slung Ramsey past him and jumped to get the ball. Had Ramsey been interfering with him he wouldn’t have had both arms to catch the pass with, nor would he have been able to sling Ramsey down the field the way he did.

Ramsey is a tool, and the sport would most likely be better off if he were selling cars in Tallahassee, but this is an egregious no call that directly resulted in a touchdown.

I thought it was OPI, but then again the NFL still doesnt know what PI or a catch are so you kinda have to live with it.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

This is why you go and get a real QB

Ok, but that little clip starts at the end of the play and doesn’t show much more than that picture. .the ball is in the air longer than that clip. the backside angle shows something different. And there was a ref a few yards away. I don’t care one way or the other, but to say the Bengals were gifted a TD in this situation is inaccurate. Jalen Ramsey is known as a physical corner And was being physical on this play including holding down Higgins backside arm.

It was a bad no call. And the holding call against the Bengals was also bad.

The game as a whole was bad.

My bigger point was that this game wasn't on the refs it was just a sloppy bad game. And one team had to win

Strong disagree. He very clearly grabbed his facemask and twisted it. There is no gray area there.

I love College ball so much more

I love both. I think both have their pros and cons. I just love football

 

[edwd58]

Game ends with Burro on his backside, perfect.

Jeez, I never once said he didn’t . I said this-

The ref probably figured if Ramsey wasn’t interfering with Higgins, then Higgins wouldn’t have pulled his face mask.

He loves bending logic and claim that we arent getting what he is saying.

I dislike Ramsay alot, but even I cant say that wasnt clear OPI.

You mean that I agree it was an OPI or that rushing 3 and dropping 8 isn’t disrespecting Kupp when he catches a pass behind the line of scrimmage. Please tell me how that’s bending logic
I guess your contention is the ref just cheated for the bengals. He was standing 5 yards from the play looking right at it happening.

Good for Stafford. Getting a ring after paying his penance in Detroit.

Dude put the drink down before typing. I never once came anywhere close to saying that the refs were cheating for either team.

I would say 51 had more heroics than any other superbowl. However, I dont know if i could say the overtime drive was the one that should be top 10. It was more of a formality. The more impressive one was the drive to tie imo. We knew that the Patriots were winning in OT, but we didnt know if Brady could drive 91 yards down 8 with no time outs.

I would say Ben's drive maybe the most impressive one that I have actually seen personally. Elway's drive I dont remember much aside from the helicopter. As far as Eli's... I would say 46 was more impressive than 42 personally, but it was nowhere as iconic. 42 just felt that someone up above just wanted the Dolphins to remain the only perfect team at the last second.
