Game is about to start. Line is Rams by 4.5, and the over/under is 49. Post your observations here.

And don’t forget to cheer on our own Bryan Neale, working the Umpire position today. MIBT GTBO DFIU!

Heart says Bengals, head says Rams.

Jessie Bates III is the difference make in this game. I would not mind seeing Stafford win; I would be happy for him.

Great commercial for BMW with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Selma Hayek!

The Fort.....Snider HS. Number 18 for the Rams, Ben Skowronek played at Homestead. Funny that they are just one year apart and never played against each other in high school.

Turned it on just in time to see Stafford get picked off to begin the 3rd quarter.  Thankfully I missed the halftime show, but just in time to see more BS covid propaganda being pushed my cue....which is funny b/c the nfl sure hasn't had any covid issues since the playoffs began.  hmmmmm.

Game is meh.

If Burrow was more seasoned, Donald would have gotten a UR/USL penalty.

Not at all.  I grew up with that music.  I have a problem with a league that promotes so much social justice stuff and allows snoop dog to perform at half time of their biggest game.  That guy has a video mock killing donald trump.  imagine if a white artist did that and mock killed obama?

 

also funny that the bengals had a woman abuser as captain (mixon).  not only did he hit a lady, he hit a white lady.  where was the outrage?

the hypocrisy is getting exposed and it is glorious.

As soon as my 2009, gas guzzling ford expedition dies, i plan on buying the baddest diesel i can find.  you can thank all the dumb a$$, pointless, electric car commercials.

I thought they both graduated in 2015. I believe Snider was 5a in 2013 and 2014, which is why they didn't play one another.

Loved the music growing up also but you are spot on.  These artists made a living off of songs promoting domestic violence and killing cops.  As a matter of of Snoop’s hits is actually titled “&$?! The Police.”

Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Ref show has commenced.

Great game.  Big time players stepped up at the end!

Congrats to Jessie Bates. Although he was on the losing side, he delivered a performance of a champion. 

[Bobref]

Man, I said before the game that I’d take the Bengals and the under. I’m gonna have to put my money where my mouth is.

Bates was a 2015 grad and Skowronek was a 2016 grad

Don’t know if it would have had an impact of the outcome of the game, but the holding call on #55 Wilson (LB) on the Rams winning drive, was an atrocious call. IMSC, it was 3rd down and gave the Rams an automatic 1st down. To that time, there were 2 penalties on both teams.

Thanks. You would be correct then. Chances are they didn't play each other.

There were a few blown calls that affected the outcome. Although I was rooting for the Bengals, they were given a 7 point gift when the ref didn't see the facemask that launched the Rams DB to the ground.
