Fuck Mike Evans. Aaron Donald was the pick.

Son of a mother fucker!!!

[Deja Entendu]

Awful

Meh. No real dominance from either team. Just a game. *shrugs*

Dominance is boring, this was a battle.

Battle? Not at all. It was 2 teams who struggled themselves most of the game. A battle would be two strong and dominant teams fighting back and forth.

thought it was a great game... right up until that phantom PI call took a giant shit on it.

It was a terrible call.

[King Bootz]

Fuck Mike Evans. Aaron Donald was the pick.

And now both have a ring. Could it be that both the Rams and Bucs made the right pick?

That's what happened. Great coverage, pressure, just taking away strengths.

It was a battle.

[King Bootz]

This was a great game. I feel sorry for any football fan that didn't enjoy that game. All phases were a factor. That's football and this game was fun.

Meh. I'll give you some of those. Ultimately I see it more as a whimper by 2 teams trying to feel themselves out.

I mean, a DT in equal skill is always more valuable than a WR.

Evans is consistently in the 5-10 range at his position in his time while AD is the all-time example....but who knows how it would have turned out with AD here.

I regret nothing, there.

How can Bengals improve besides oline

[Nobody]

He didn't grab him by the waist.

He didn't pull a jersey.

If a hand on a guy's side is defensive holding then you better throw the flag 50 times a game. But they didn’t. And they let way worse go (how many actual jersey pulls by defenders were let go prior to that play…where no actual grab nor pull occurred).

I’m so tired of NFL officiating infecting games competitive integrity with their eff ups.

Evans was always the right pick. At the time we had McCoy who was at his peak averaging 8-9 sacks a season. just coming off the Pro Bowl.

You can tell the refs tried to stay out of it, but couldn’t. In the end they always become themselves.

The line needs improvement, for sure.

You never know, it's hard to get back. Everyone thought the Seahawks would destroy the league for 10 years. It could be lightning in a bottle.

As pessimistic as MJW's post was, historically, it's more likely.

Ramsey had that blatant one on the goal line... no call.

Or the Bengals receiver on Ramsey for the early TD. Face maksed him to the ground.

That was their shot, its over for them. AFC is going to be a meat grinder for the next 5-6 years.

[Snake]

I think Kupp is on rumspringa

Ya... like WTF, how the fuck do you miss that?

No he wasn't. He was a good pick, but Aaron Donald was obviously the freak athlete in the draft.

With Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Burrow, and Jackson... It's wild over there.

Yup. The referee signal in this game was strong.

Evans is awesome. It's a difficult arguement to say he was not a great pick. Just because 1 player was better using hindsight.

Cool story... no Evans, no Super Bowl.

[Moozician]

Damn, I hate Cooper Kupp.

[King Bootz]

That was their shot, its over for them. AFC is going to be a meat grinder for the next 5-6 years.

With Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Burrow, and Jackson... It's wild over there.

Not to mention Lawrence, Jones and Tua making up a pretty good 2nd tier behind the 5 you mentioned.

It's not hindsight for me. I wanted Donald. They took Evans. I mean, it's hard to regret it given that Brady bailed Tampa Bay out with a SB victory last year, but yeah. Donald was the pick.

[King Bootz]

Kupp is MVP. He earned it.

[MJW]

Good game. Only complaint was the Logan Hall "hold" and the Vonn Bell "hit."

The Bengals need to do what the Chiefs did last offseason with their line. What a joke.

[CantonJester]

Maybe Jones is good enough given Belichick's chops, but Lawrence? We'll see. Tua? His upside is mid-range QB. Horrible pick.

[BearLandBucFan]

Kupp is MVP. He earned it.

He is a classy guy IMHO

[Digital_Damage]

then there is the next tier.. Carr, Jones

a prospect that could also break out in Lawrence.

And a growing movement to get Wilson to the steelers.

Gonna be nutz.

[King Bootz]

Biggest and worst bad ref call/non call was by far the Higgins TD against Ramsey. Not only did he pull Ramsey to the ground, he also grabbed and pulled his face mask. It resulted in a TD for him. That never should've been a TD.
