Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted January 31, 2022 He was the only one who predicted both LA and Cincy, which I applaud. We will have a contest for the Super Bowl in a week and a half, and I think this may be even harder than the last ones to select. Too bad Johnny Mundt is hurt as LA is down to their last Tight End...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Congrats. Great picks. KC and Mahomes went in the tank after the STUPID move not to kick the FG at the end of the 1st half. And talk about great halftime adjustments on D. Happy to see Cincy back in the SB for the first time since I believe, 1988? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it could have been a trifecta for the Bengals and 49ers who faced each other in Super Bowls after the '81 and '88 seasons. Alas it wasn't to be.

For all the great things he has done....it was his moves that sunk the Chiefs; the throw to end the first half, the picks, and some other bad throws. Even the best have a bad day... 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes was struggling early in the season with INT's and fumbles. In this play, he had Kelce open for a TD, but looked it off to throw to Hill. No explanation for that, then Mahomes tries, too late, to call a timeout that the Chiefs didn't have. On the other side, Joe Cool leads the Bengals back, to another playoff win on the road, with a halftime deficit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reiterate, last weekend and this weekend was as good as the NFL can get. Mahomes disappeared in the 2nd half of this game like he did in the 2nd half of the first game vs Cincy. But for goodness sakes, kick the FG! BTW, how can the Bengals DC be so great in game planning vs KC in the 2nd half and clueless in the 1st half? Opening line, Rams -3.5.

RAMS. 1st team in NFL history to play the conference champ game and the SB at home. Will Cincy's OL be able to hold up against that D? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Burrow has been hurried more, sacked more, than any QB all season. That should be a couple of stats that have a team under .500%, but here they are in the Super Bowl.
