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.
No, the disrespect to Kupp is debatable, with each opinion capable of presenting evidence to support what they believe.

In regards to this OPI you cherry picked a still image in an attempt to support your stance, when the more detailed video footage clearly shows one of the worst non calls in Super Bowl history.

Entitled to your opinion on Kupp, bending logic to suit your stance on the OPI.

Where did I say it wasn’t pass interference? Where?

As always, I want until the next day to post my thoughts.
- Rams trying to establish the run game almost cost them at times. Their zone blocking scheme in the game was ineffective. 1.7 yard per carries? The game plan wasn't good at all.
-Rams went Bama mode when they lost Odem to knee injury. It was eerily similar to Bama's offense.
-Matt Stafford isn't very good QB. Kupp bailed him out way too many times.
-Burrow played well. I think Bengals would win the game if they had called the right play on 2nd and 1, and 3rd and 1. On 2nd and 1, you want to try and run up the middle and you throw on 3rd and 1. They could've called a screen pass, short pa pass... or a stick play. They didn't.
-Rams best players were Donald and Kupp. That's it.
-Eli Apple needs to be cut from the team. I hope he is humbled.

It looked like Cincinnati's offensive line was wore out by the 4th quarter. Maybe they are just a 3 quarter team.

I'm a little embarrassed with my quick wit that I didn't fire an obvious zinger on that Sopranos Chevy commercial last night.

"I see Meadow finally learned how to park."

(For those who don't get it, don't worry about it - trust me, the crack is hilarious).

Yeah, I missed that too. They are talking about it today on the radio.

And as predicted they are claiming uga won a Super Bowl.

That's fine as long as they want to admit Georgia lost three with Fran Tarkenton.
And that Quincy Carter was awful.

Stafford is going to be in the Hall of Fame. He had 4800 yards and 41 TDs this year. Maybe he didn't have a great game, but he's a very good QB.
By Stafford winning a SB with the Rams, on top of having the individual career stats to at least put him in the conversation, the line of thinking by the HOF voters will more than likely be "He played for a crappy organization, which wasn't his fault, put up HOF statistics while there, then the first chance he had to play for a better organization, he wins a superbowl." He will be voted into the HOF, and rightfully so.

You're half right - he had a good year.

He MIGHT go into the Hall of Fame, but it's far from a slam dunk. The circumstances of his rise to Super Bowl champion might give some vindication to his career since it validates the argument "well, he was a good QB on a bad team." He may get in similar to Joe Namath on that score.

Then again, Eli Manning is going to go and has no business at all making it, but I digress.

Well, maybe.

Let's not go overboard with "but he has all these eye-popping stats", either. Look at the list and virtually all of the top stats guys as QBs have played in the last 20-30 years because it's not the same game. Yeah, Stafford is 12th all-time in yardage - but he's 5th all-time among guys still playing, too.

I tend to agree that PROBABLY...probably your argument carries the day. This, of course, assumes that idiots who don't know how to evaluate football players actually remember this interpretation of facts.

How is Roger Craig NOT in the Hall?
How is Everson Walls not there?
It took T.O. three ballots and Shannon Sharpe as well, also ludicrous.


I don't disagree that Stafford is and has been a good QB on bad teams. I just question whether voters will recall that in 5-10 years. If he retired this morning, he wouldn't make it because he'd be on the ballot with Tom Brady.

I'm saying "should be in the HOF" because of people who have been voted in that we could point to and say "If he's in, then Stafford should be in as well". I would love for the HOF to put more emphasis on context into their voting regarding the era in which a player played. I think we would move closer to having more consistency in voting. We could point to MLB and the NFL and say that you can't compare offensive numbers of today's players to those players in different eras because of the rule changes that change how the game is played.

Matt Ryan has more passing yards and touchdown passes than John Elway, Trent Dilfer has a super bowl trophy and Dan Marino doesn't, and someone needs to be sentenced to 10 years in prison for not voting Roger Craig into the HOF.

Keyshawn is one of those people that confuse feeling with thinking...
Keyshawn is nothing more than a caricature of “angry black man”. Like a lot of people (Skip Bayless, cough!) he finds playing a TV character more lucrative to his bank account than just doing the every day boring “yeah him” take. It’s more a commentary on we, the public, than it is on him.

It says quite a lot about a person when they are willing to publicly portray themselves (as opposed to an actor playing a part) as a caricature.

So, either way...

I didn't see the question posted, so thought I'd ask. Carson Tinker was added to the Rams' practice squad prior to the game. Do the practice players get rings? I would imagine everybody in the organization gets one, but am not certain as I really only watch college.
