Ben Johnson to Chicago. Thought he was going to vegas

Huge move

Have to say one thing I have noticed about the CFB title game is really not a lot of coverage for a title game in CFB......obvious reason is it's during NFL playoffs as was definitely a good amount of coverage for the 1st 2 rounds (before NFL playoffs started).

Much better move for Chicago than McCarthy would have been.

Might not work, because Chicago seems like a bit of a mess. But I think it has a chance.

Irony? Eagles whiffed on two PATs which came pretty close to biting them in the ass even with 3 huge running plays for TDs.

I'm amazed the Rams were still in the game despite the awful run defense (again vs the Eagles) giving up those monster plays and the Kyren and Stafford fumbles. To be on the 20 yard line with sufficient time left to try for the winning TD is unbelievable given the previous errors. Eagles stood their ground and got the stop to their credit. Could that have been roughing the passer on the final play? Maybe, but no guarantee the Eagles don't still stuff them ultimately.

Rams desperately need to work on that run D, whether that's a box safety, linebackers, or a big NT (or all of the above). The flexibility to go to a traditional set with an extra run-stuffing linebacker instead of a DB hybrid is a necessity at minimum.

The Rams held Barkley to like 65 yards on 24 runs. Pretty great job stuffing it yesterday. But Barkley is a freak and killed them on the other 2 that could have been 10-15 yarders by any normal man.

Elliot being shaky was expected. Hope it doesn't bite them. Almost did.

But the Ravens just have to put the great Justin Tucker out there twice instead of doing monkey math early in the 3rd quarter. And they're probably in OT.

Maybe I was wrong @tlance

I was right about the coverage but if Bateman continues to run the route Lamar thinks then possibly doesn't end as an INT since he already won vs his man

I thought this one was a mixup at the time

 

[thunderc]

lol horrible take and not the first one I saw today like every pass Lamar makes must be absolutely perfect. Making excuses for Andrews here is just another way to say you hate Lamar

Andrews needs to retire it’s that simple

Damn it.

I saw Kupp and Nacua drop balls because of the cold. Going for 2 when they didn't need to cost them. I was rooting for the Ravens, but I'm glad they lost because they had to go for a 2pt conversion that they forced themselves.

I agree, let’s get some better teams in there.

I’m sure they will make tweaks. Bad timing this year

Yea having it the day after the a weekend of divisional nfl games isn’t smart. There is like no buzz at all for a title game.

I really don’t know that they need to drag it out like this.

There’s simple ways to fix this. Start the season a week or 2 earlier is the easiest fix

Here we go.....

Or maybe don’t take 3 weeks off in December

That as well but don't they want Army/Navy and Hesiman to get their own Saturday?

 

[DJ Fieri]

ND made that look easy.

Yikes.
