Don’t worry, he screwed up in overtime so the loss is still going to be on him.
Damn, Bengals in the Super Bowl!
Next one should be good, too. Can the 49ers beat the Rams three times this season?
Burrow simply has “it”.
Another Niners - Bengals SB incoming?
wow, a lesson in how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory eh?
Mahomes is going to get a "great during the season but always finds a way to lose in the playoffs " tag with another loss or two like that
Well, maybe, but he’s already got the ring. Not that that can’t still be the narrative, but it’s hard to argue against the hardware.
I said this over in the Bears new GM thread…
Kinda feels like tonight was a case study on this.
Sports radio hot takes are going to be brutal.
I liked how Romo referenced his own history, saying the Bengals should kick it on 3rd down just in case the holder messes up .
Mahomes is like Favre, but like 30% more extreme in either direction, both good and bad.
Nah, Farve was every bit as reckless and occasionally befuddling as Mahomes has been lately. Mahomes apex though far exceeds Favre.
Mahomes: 4-1 TD-INT ratio
Favre: 3-2 TD-INT ratio
Different eras. Everyone’s TD to int ratio is higher today.
Plus, I was just talking about the range of their outcomes, not the average.
Also Favre’s total numbers include a really shaky first couple seasons and a pretty ugly decline at the end. Safe bet that Mahomes final 5 seasons will look a lot worse if he sticks around as long.
That’s the first of his three playoff losses that can be pinned on him.
A case could be made that Cooper Kupp deserves the MVP.
Indeed - likely to be true of any QB not named Brady.
I really think there should be two awards - whatever you want to call them. Just give one award to the best QB, and then have another award for the MV-non-QB-P.
Agreed. For the Super Bowl, call it the Malcolm Butler award.
I really wish Aikman would stop blowing Stafford. He had a guy wide open, threw it behind him, and Aikman blames the WR for a drop. Yes, it was (and should have been) catchable, but if Stafford puts it in the right spot like he should, it would’ve been a TD.
