    *** OFFICIAL *** 2022 Superbowl Thread

    Good game so far.

    ODB Jr just injured. Ouch.

    13-10 late 2nd as I type this.

    I am at home and not at any Superbowl party, though I was invited to one in Vegas.

    I do not have any bets on it this year.

    Not a Rams fan even though they're an LA team. Football left LA for such a long time that it's hard to identify with any team which moves here, even one which was previously in LA. I have mixed feelings who I'm rooting for. The Bengals are a cool underdog story, and also if they win, I could see them dedicating it to the recently-passed Howard Hesseman, who I liked. However, it's also hard not to root for the team I grew up with as the local NFL team, so I'm more on the side of wanting the Rams to win this one.

    Here comes the halftime show...

    Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg lol

    I don't think it will produce an overused meme like last year's though.

    Same boat here. Quiet super bowl at home.

    OBJ out is massive. Bengals can double Kupp freely now. That botched extra point very well may come back to haunt the Rams also.

    Yeah that botched EP is pretty big now, given it's a 3-point game.

    Decent NFL commercial prior to the halftime show, featuring a bunch of video game NFL players coming through the screen in cartoon form, and wrecking the house in the process. Pretty good effects for a commercial.

    rams just scored to make it 16-20 in third quarter

    but i can't understand the running plays called in the last series by rams---Cincy d-line is a yard of the ball and not trying to penetrate/rush the passer; Rams should have passed on every down that series

    you can see the d-linemen have their feet even, not staggered the way a sprinter does for a fast start---the result in a slow start and an even row of d-linemen that clog all the running lanes and leaves no room for the running back--only if your offensive line is way better than the dl-ine will running succeed against a defense playing that way

    if Cinc continues to play no pressure the Rams should adjust to throw every time

    gut predicted it. Rams couldn't go for the tie with a field goal with around 2 minutes left in the 4th, down 20-16. Had they not fucked up the EP, they coulda kicked a FG. Instead they had to go for it, and made a first down.

    Exciting end here... 1st and goal, 1:55 in the game, Rams ball down 4.

    Wow... looks like a fucked up call on the 4th down. "Holding" which didn't look like holding, changes incomplete to auto first down.

    Now a possible TD throw with a flag thrown.

    Hmmmm

    Edit: Play made dead and going to be redone due to a double penalty.

    Weird

    Good move down the field at the end for Cincy, to go 50 yards, but they died. Anticlimactic final play where they couldn't even get off a throw.

    Congrats Rams.

    Maybe Dodgers can bring a 2nd 2022 championship to LA this year. We know it won't be the Lakers.

    Donald should be MVP.

    LOL @ Bungles running right at him on 3rd down that final drive. Tight play call

    I wonder how controversial this win is going to be, given that bullshit penalty called, on a play which should have ended it for the Rams.

    I think it will generally be viewed as a make up call for the missed OPI on that Higgins TD.

    If anything, the conversation will be anti-refs as always, but just for totally blowing both of those. Basically gave a TD to each team, at the end of the day.

    Also, that phantom hold was on 3rd down, btw.

    Was it 3rd down? I could've sworn it was 4th.

    Yeah I know it was probably a makeup call, so maybe that will lessen the controversy. Shitty to have that occur at such a critical moment in the final 2 minutes of the game, though.

    It would have been 4th and goal from the 8. I, like I imagine plenty of others did, predicted a bullshit call coming on that play if they didn't get it.

    Why do people even watch this shit anymore?

    Refs definitely helped out.

    IMO good game, good half time show good commercials.

    Good for all, but not great.

    Makes up for the facemask they didn't call on the Bungles earlier in the game!
