It was horrible, he was playing exactly the way we teach DBs to cover. His hand was flat and he got in front of the ball. That penalty cost the Bengals the game.

It would have been 4th and 8. That is tough for any team, even with Cooper Kupp.

No it didn't. 

Just saw where Burrow DID sustain a knee injury on the sack where he was bent backwards, won’t require surgery but will require therapy, 2 seasons and 2 knee injuries, I’ve been a Bengals fan since they started in ‘68 but if they don’t upgrade the line SIGNIFICANTLY and take care of this special kid I hope he goes somewhere that they will, TOO special of a kid!!!

I'd think a healthy Riley Reiff is there, right?

I'm thinking he may have only signed a 1 year deal.  Not sure though

Spain was like the 9th rated guard in the NFL by PFF, to me, I think Williams is more of a right tackle than left.  I’m like most everybody on here, free agents, trades, then see what’s there in the draft, got to if you want the last step, just couldn’t overcome the O line 3 straight games, if you go back and look at wide angles people were open on almost every play but Burrow didn’t have time to go through any progressions

None more important than the Bengals last play of the game.  Ramsey falls down,  and with some protection, we would be celebrating a Super Bowl right now.

Did not see this camera shot by NBC during the game. This shot from above was on the last 4th and 1 to basically end the game. 
 

That's not the last play of the game. It had to be 1st or 3rd quarter. I went back and watched the last play, no one was lined up like that.

Which is why that 3rd and 8 call on Logan Wilson was such a bad call.

They also missed a blatant defensive hold on the play right before the 3rd down call.

They did, they weren't great, but once I saw the stat that the Bengals had 5 drives up 4 points and got 50 total yards, I feel a lot less upset with the officials. They had every opportunity to take it out of the officials hands.

True, outside of the bomb to Chase and the bomb to open the 2nd half...the Bengals didn't move the ball very well.

Exactly! Everyone is focused on the plays in the last couple minutes. Those offensive possessions that produced nothing when the Bengals could have gone up by two scores or at least get to a 7 point lead are where the opportunity was missed.

Is that most watched in 5 years in Cincinnati? Not the nation, right?

Nation. The Super Bowl - and football in general - always dominate television, despite people telling us the ratings are dropping and football will soon disappear. I need to see if I can find it, but there was some insane graphic I saw showing the 100 most watched programs of 2021. The NFL was practically all of them. For all of football's faults, people love it.
