1. good game. Both teams.

Defense of the Rams came up big.

[C Moon]

15. I was rooting for the Rams (live in Los Angeles)...

but the Bengals are an amazing team. Next year should be a great one for them.

[multigraincracker]

2. Detroit sends it's congratulations to

Matthew Stafford. Way to go.

[C Moon]

16. I remember when Detroit first used Stafford (Detroit), and I told my friend (a Lions fan)

that they had a great new QB, and I thought they would do great that year. They didn't. But he is a great talent.
Love the Lions, too. Because my dad was from Michigan, so I grew up with him cheering for Michigan teams (without my mom hearing)

[multigraincracker]

18. I'm always pulling for them.

Some day, I hope.

[C Moon]

19. Jared Goff is a fantastic QB.

I'm there cheering for the Lions!

[Retired Engineer Bob]

3. A great game

I was rooting for the Bengals, but the Ram’s last drive was epic.

[a kennedy]

5. Seriously?? With no help from ALL the flags?? Ugh...

[SallyHemmings]

6. The officials

were decent until the end. Then it looked like someone kicked over a laundry basket..it took away from the play of both teams.

[gristy]

4. Great game!

It really felt like they limited the number of commercials. Really a pleasure.

[OldBaldy1701E]

7. That's bull. It was Donald. He won the game for them. (n/t)

[Bristlecone]

9. I agree 100%

[JCMach1]

20. Disagree... TDs yes, but it was the jet sweep on 4th and 1

That drive, Kupp took over.

I love Donald , one of the greatest defenders of all time, but tonight it was Kupp.

8. they should have given it to the refs

the call that gave them a new set of downs was the definition of chickenshit.

[Music Man]

11. I tend to agree.

I used to ref soccer, though, and I'm pretty forgiving of calls that referees make. They are humans, and the action happens very quick. And we can go round and round on calls made and not made throughout the game (such as the uncalled offensive pass interference/facemask on the Bengals touchdown).

But I cringed after that holding call. Suddenly the game felt like it had a very lame conclusion, and the Rams victory felt hollow.

[LuvLoogie]

12. There was also a crucial non call: offensive pass interference.

Could have been a personal foul too. That facemask.

[dsc]

21. Which was preceded by a non call

That cost Cincinnati a touchdown

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. And the Bengals got 7 points on a face mask that wasn't called.

Thank goodness that one call didn't decide the game.

10. Played for my sisters Alma Mater Eastern Washington University

Yet when introduced he said he went to school at ee woo.

[jalan48]

17. I think EWU is what he meant.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. I thought A Donald should have been, but it normally goes to an offensive player.

Very entertaining game.
