I'm glad for the Bengals getting back to the SB. At least for now. But they won't know how to handle being hated by everyone if it keeps up. They'll have a crisis.

Honestly, neither the 49ers nor the Rams are that good. I think the Bengals might be super bowl favorites.

Their line is so bad though, either Rams or Niners lines should feast, both are way better than KC’s

But the Bengals could win anyway

It's kind of funny that the Bengals ended up being what the media was hyping the Browns as for 3 years

Brown and Bengals will alternate seasons being the good team and the meltdown team.

I also thought that today. I took two top 5 picks and the single most impressive defensive free agency I've ever seen, but they did the worst to first and then some.

Titans sacked Burrow 9 times and the Rams have Aaron Donald and Von Miller, not to mention Jalen Ramsey to deal with Chase.

They should beat the 49ers but did lose to them at home this season and the 49ers have this weird magic to them this postseason winning games you never think they'd be contending in.

Its extra funny that the Browns spent 20 years with top 5 picks and came away with jack poo poo

Meanwhile the Bengals did a complete franchise transformation in 2 years

Eventually that's how it happens. Even with inept teams. Eventually you hit on like two megastars and everything becomes easier for a long time. But sometimes it can take a long time to get those exact right guys and it takes luck even with high picks.

The Browns maybe had that guy with Josh Gordon but got unlucky. If Beckham Jr had worked out for them I bet the Browns would've got to the SB last year.

Only because they forced a hobbled Henry back in as their featured back. They win easily if he didn't play. And still just about lost but got lucky that defended pass floated up. Not taking away from the Bengals as I've been saying they're a reverse fraud all season. But they are beatable with the right guys. And I think the Rams have that.

I don't know if I want the Bengals to win the SB or not. I'm conflicted especially if the Rams win. If the 49ers win I want Bengals.

I was pretty happy about the win but after reading this thread am now a bit concerned that they will be so good that they aren't liked. So now I am sort of ambivalent about the victory.

No. All I'm saying is they're beatable. Just like most teams. Just like in 2015 people said the Broncos had no chance against the Panthers.

^^You are correct.

Anyway I'm not meaning to crap on the Bengals at all. That's not my intention but I think it's being seen that way. I've been a believer in them all year. I just have my own reasons for possibly not wanting them to win. But I also might. So don't worry about it.
