Wow. Congrats to the Bengals. Tbh I never thought they could beat the Chiefs especially going down 21 to 3

Chiefs v Packers seems a likely Super Bowl. Depending who stays healthy.
And neither made it. I can't stand Rogers or Mahomes... so I am happy about the Bengals dumping Andy Reid and company... Now we need the 49ers to send horseface Stafford home, and all will be right with the world.

Now Rogers can pack up and head to Denver ... and Brady will go home to Giselle ...
 
It’s like déjà vu for the 49ers what they did to the Packers from last week—

Robbie Gould for the 49ers is lethal for a FG kicker and Deebo Samuels is tearing apart the Rams secondary.

**********************

And out of 63 wagered brackets, I didn’t see one that had the Bengals reaching the Super Bowl. Crazy.

Pain. That's all I feel.
I feel bad for Jimmy. He’s an outstanding quarterback and played through lots of adversary with his injury and doubt, but that last pass though. Unfortunately, that likely was the last time for him being in a 49ers jersey.

What a great playoff series this has been though and totally unpredictable.
 
I thought the 49ers gave the Rams all they could handle, they nearly made it.

Bengals v Rams superbowl, yeah, totally unpredictable. Every round a different set of favourites, crazy.

Think you have to favour the Rams, that defensive line may be a bit much for the Bengals’s offensive line. I reckon in quarterbacks and offense there is not much to choose between them.

Well the first time Cincinnati Won AC on Road to the Super Bowl! This surprised me to no end with that comeback!
Ugh. I missed the comeback because I stopped watching after 21-3 at the half.:( I didn't want to watch the Chiefs steamroll over the Bengals.? I haven't been this shocked by a post season game since the 18-0 Patriots lost the the Giants in the Superbowl.?

If any one questions why bother with a play off, this year should be a convincing reason why. 1 seed on both conferences one and done. The heavily favored teams losing to the underdogs. The football gods are kind this year with looks to be a competitive Superbowl. This has been the wildest, most unpredictable, Playoffs I've seen in a long time.

I don't care who wins the SB now*, I just want a good game.?

*actually, I'm biased towards the AFC. I'll be cheering "Who Dey?" in 2 weeks.
 
So, Bengals and Rams... this is a tough one. I don't care who wins but I think I have to go with the Rams for defense/Donald over the Bengals.

It was really shaky vs TN. 8 sacks?

But Joe "Our Lord & Savior" Burrow overcame that ...

;P

Yeah, Jimmy played the way Jimmy has played all year long. That missed post route to Kittle in the 1st hurt, but IMO he redeemed himself with the big throws to Aiyuk and Kittle later. Rams made the necessary adjustments to stop the Niners. With a 10-point lead, Kyle's game-calling went conservative. An issue that he's had everytime he takes the lead. Get creative with the playcalling even with the lead. Then Deebo last touched the ball at the 12-minute mark in the 4th. Tough, but it is what is it.

Agreed, this year's playoffs were just crazy. There were some great games for sure.

Where do you think Jimmy goes next year? [I don’t see him getting resigned.]

You know what I would think would be the craziest move in the NFL, is Aaron Rodgers going to play for the 49ers as the lead quarterback.

He did, but against a lesser offense which didn‘t put up a big points total. Don’t think they can afford to do that against the Rams, with Stafford throwing to Kupp and OBJ… but who knows, maybe the Rams will have a less-than-stellar day? So far two good performances to put out the Bucs and the 49ers, the streak has to end. I agree with you Burrow’s ability to evade the rush is key.

I honestly am not sure. I know the Niners will need to either trade or release him to free up cap space to sign Bosa and Deebo to an extension. But I would like to think he would go to a contending team. IMO, I feel he would play better going back to a system that isn't as crazy as Kyle Shanahan's.

As far as Aaron Rodgers. Man, I'm not sure about that. BUT I know people are already talking about the 'what-if' Tom Brady wants to play his final year as a 49er. Those two hypotheticals would be crazy.

Dude, if Tom Brady plays one more year and if it’s in San Fran, I’ll eat my Vikings hat and permanently become a 49ers fan.😁

Edit:

The legend retires officially.

Can’t believe the Bengals beat the Chiefs!

Rooting for them to win the Super Bowl.

Me too!!!

The games were good and they lived up to what they should be. I was getting worried in the first half of the Chiefs and Bangals game, was looking like it was going to be a blow out. Glad it wasn't! You could see the moment the Chiefs started to unravel.

I am soooooo glad that team from SF didn't make it. Out of all of them, that was the only team I didn't want. Sorry @Fozzybadfeet ...
