Lining up in shotgun on 4th and 1, and throwing the pass, while not even showing the possibility of QB sneak was the worst play-call in a Super Bowl since Seattle threw the ball.

The real galaxy brain move would be to have your QB that’s playing on a hosed up knee that everyone in the stadium knows about fake a sneak and then try to drop back in the face of pressure that’s getting through the middle almost instantly.

Little known fact, when you line up under center you can also present the possibility of a RB run in a 1 yard situation

On one hand, the Bengals probably don’t sniff the Super Bowl this year without Ja’Marr Chase.

On the other hand, Joe Burrow got sacked a billion times this season and his complete lack of an O-line was a major reason the Bengals lost said Super Bowl.

Penei Sewell could’ve protected Joe Burrow’s blind side for over a decade and been a Pro Bowler whilst doing so.

Not sure how long Joe Burrow’s gonna be ambulatory if he gets sacked 60+ times a season.

You can also run out of shotgun.

They had Burrow in shotgun after his leg got hurt because he couldn’t move. Putting him under center would have basically been committing to a run, like the one that got stopped for no gain on the previous play.

But quibbling over the play call is loving stupid because when you can’t run for a yard and you also can’t pass protect long enough to get a quick pass off then you’re basically hosed and the Bengals proved on consecutive plays that they couldn’t do either.

Lmao yes, you can run out of the shotgun, nothing gets by you BUT your sarcastic rear end snark was about a qb sneak.

Just to be clear you realize the difference between the two in threat to run on a 4th and 1 right? ...right?

Kupp must’ve had a concussion. I know they don’t check for those things but he didn’t look like he was feeling great. I didn’t see him get checked out in the tent. Similar to Edelman.

Everything he did post game I'd compare to someone showing up to work very hung over and trying not to look it.

Like, he seemed foggy and not truly ecstatic in interviews, they showed a brief clip of his wife/gf/whomever trying to kiss on him while his kids were playing and he was just entirely like 'not now I have a headache' about it.

Just looked blitzed.

The injuries to OBJ and Burrow really put a damper on the game, though arguably OBJ getting hurt is the only thing that gave the Bengals a chance in the first place.

Getting away with trying to rip off Jalen Ramsey's head and having it result in a 10 point swing was probably the biggest thing that gave them a chance.

I'll say this about Burrow--most guys who are getting sacked close to 10 times a game against good defenses don't look as good as he did doing it. He never fumbled the ball or made a truly dumb throw in either the Titans game or Rams game from what I saw.

That’s because the Bengals committed personal fouls on him basically every play at the end of the game.

This is hilarious to me because if the Bengals had Penei Sewell there, Quentin Spain still gets beaten badly by Aaron Donald and they still lose the game. The Bengal's LT isnt a world beater but he's not the problem.

The Bengals let down Joe Burrow, the people of Cincinnati, and Ohio in general.

But the real crime is that they robbed THIS man of the opportunity to kick a game-tying - and possible game-winning in OT - Super Bowl field goal.


Edit: I also like the pearl-clutching responses like a kicker being in the locker room is essential for halftime strategizing

I think everyone expects Whitworth to retire so they'll need a LT. OBJ and Von Miller are rental players they'd like to keep but will be expensive if they do. Who knows about the Donald retirement rumor. They have a ton of other, not big name guys who are going to be free agents. I'd expect them to look quite a bit different next year one way or another.

But flags fly forever and if I were to imagine being a Rams fan I'd be ok with that even if they end up being just terrible for a couple of years.

Miller and Beckham are the two big name FAs. They will lose Miller but Beckham might take a team friendly deal to stay and they get Robert Woods back so the WRs will be okay either way. Otherwise it’s just signing or replacing some of the offensive linemen and some role players on defense.

Weddle and Whit are gonna retire but I have been told that Joe noteboom is a decent replacement for whit, Goff comes off the books (lol) and who knows what to do with OBJ with his knee. I think half their secondary are free agents as well. But if they don't have any more retirements, can bring back Von on a cheapish deal and do a couple restructures then they have enough going for them to run it back in a no good very bad NFC. But if all the retirement rumors for McVay and Donald are true then that bill might come for all of these win-now moves they made during the McVay era

Yeah absolutely. I mean, Kupp?

But they have perhaps shown that teams put too much value on 1st round draft picks. And I think, outside of maybe QB or an elite pass rusher in the first round, they're right.
