Bengals play call on 2nd & 1 on the 50 with 58 seconds left and 2 timeouts was truly what cost Cincinnati. At minimum a FG to take it to overtime and be completely in the driver's seat. At that moment all that mattered was moving the chains.

[@aprilwest5812]

I respectfully disagree on second and one is usually when all teams should take a shot down field especially knowing that it’s four down territory. Burrow had nothing open on that play and he made the smart play by throwing it where nobody could catch it. Just my opinion!

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Their first drive when they went it on fourth down from midfield, that was a bad play call too. Gave Rams great field position and scored their first touchdown.

[@RPKraul]

It wasn't hard to feel that 4th down stop coming--the Bengals had momentum taken from them completely. Wasting two downs didn't help, either.

Great point about the missed PAT. Most teams in that situation would play it safe once they got in field goal range. Since they was down 4 they had to play aggressive and go for the TD

Reminded me of the end of the Bucs/Rams game when most teams would have been shell shocked when Bucs tied it after being down 27-3. Yet they drove down the field for the game winning field goal .

[@bgoodfella7413]

All the Bengals defense had to do on that final TD drive was double team Cooper Kupp. Like where else was the ball going????

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Yes, but same thing in the Bucs game. Bucs only had to hold Kupp for 40 seconds and he burned them twice to get in field goal range. You got to credit a player that dominant.

[@DadzillaGaming]

Cooper Kupp became an all time legend with his 2021-2022 season. He had BY FAR the greatest WR season in the history of the NFL. 178 catches. 2,425 receiving yards. 110 first downs. 22 touchdown catches. Nobody has even come remotely close to these numbers. Not one player has ever eclipsed 2,000 receiving yards in a season including the playoffs, and Kupp damn near had 500 more than the previous total record. Give the man some credit ffs. He WAS doubled all night by the Bengals, they just couldn't stop him. If they'd doubled him inside the 1 yard line, the Rams would've just run the ball in easily with one less defender to block.

[@KaitainCPS]

That's a good point about the Rams playing more aggressively on the final drive because of the margin that was created by the earlier missed FG.

The Bengals O-line isn't really as bad as it looked these past couple of games, now, they aren't GOOD by any means, just... mediocre, and certainly has room for improvement (a work in progress) but there are a bunch of teams that wishes they had even that mediocre O-line. The reason they looked so bad is partly due to who they were up against (one of best d-line), and really Burrow wasn't doing them any favors either. Typically, when your line is in trouble (and everyone knows it), you want to get the ball out quick, before the defense has a chance to get to your QB... Burrow is holding it a bit too long (he's trying to make plays) and it's costing them at times. Keep in mind, he's still young too, he'll get better at it.

Officiating was dreadful overall, when you consider the missed calls during most of the game when they were appearing to let the players play on. Then on the Rams final drive to get the game winning TD they decided to revert that and call all the tight ticky-tack fouls. The Bengals definitely didn't lose because of all this though (aside from the TD in 2nd half that they got because of a blatant missed call that should've been called and definitely NOT ticky-tack), they ended up stalling on the rest of their drives including the big Boyd drop that honestly cost them the game - they could've melted more time off if Boyd had caught that.

Can talk about the Bengal holding penalties at the end of the game all you want, but if the Bengals hadn’t gone headhunting in the end zone with Kupp in frustration on what was a negated TD catch, there wouldn’t have been offsetting penalties, which would have backed the Rams up 10 yards for holding. That personal foul was huge and needs to be brought up more.

[@danielzimmerman5837]

The holding call that gave them a fresh set of downs was before that sequence.

Nah, the refs decided to let the players play a certain way all the way up until when the rams needed a score then all the sudden the refs want to call something they let Ramsey get away with all game. They literally dictated the end of the game. You can’t sit there and say it didn’t swing the outcome of the game…they gave the rams 6 shots at the end zone. Notice they didn’t call any of the false starts on the last force against the rams? Kinda weird how the rams always benefit from the refs…

[@isaacdunaway7149]

I absolutely agree. I'm not saying the bengals won't get better and can't get back here and potentially win it, but I just don't agree with the consensus that their best days are ahead. This is a very historically unsuccessful franchise. Before this year they hadn't won a playoff game in 3 decades. They've done a fantastic job with this rebuild but I think they highly overachieved making it to the super bowl. They gave up nine sacks to Tennessee and somehow still won thanks to Ryan Tannehill not showing up. Then in the afc championship they did a great job coming back and capitalizing on KC mistakes but the chiefs beat themselves more than the bengals beat them. That play call at the end of the first half was just awful and Mahomes completely fell apart. It'll be interesting to see where the Bengals go from here. They absolutely have to address the o line this offseason. Getting Chase in the draft looks like it was worth it but them not addressing the o line like they should've came back to cost them in the super bowl. It also cost them Burrow's rookie season. This is a promising young team but there's a lot of fixes that need to be made and I'm hesitant to trust the bengals to make the right moves

The fact the face mask and the ACTUAL holding by Ramsey wasn't called but this was. Just shows how bad the refs really are. Did the Bengal's make mistakes? yes. But so did the rams who had plenty of chances to score on them. whether they had chances or not, I'd rather the Bengal's lose with good calls instead of them missing easy one's and making ones up.

The biggest bad call was that PI on third and five from the nine, on the Ram's last drive, the defender made a good deflection, and they would have have to have gone for a field goal, from the nine on fourth down, then hope for a stop. Instead they got another four tries from the one.
