Our first big name FA that wouldn't mind playing with Burrow.

Rob Gronkowski likes the idea of playing with Bengals QB Joe Burrow

Rob Gronkowski identified one quarterback he'd like to play for next should he return for his 12th season in the NFL.

Doesn't mean the team would want him or that he would come here, but it is a start to the attitude change on the Bengals in FA. I think it started last year, but this Superbowl run cemented it.

Doesn't sound like a Bengal move. I thought he was tired and slow. you tell me

If the previously unimaginable happens and the bengals win, is that is for us here at the SportsHoopla?

Do we close up shop and go our separate ways?

Hell no - we become insufferable jackwads to those in our division! We bomb the AFC North Hate thread daily to remind them all of the greatness before them...

Also, how the hell are we in the SB - and we've not heard from guys like Kramer and Jwil - is he even alive?

I was wondering about them as well.

Yeah.... I was wondering about this. I would have figured we'd see a post or two around here given the magnitude of the situation - Hell, Tubbs stopped by at some point this season.

My best guess is that Kramer was murdered by a jealous husband of one of those bar skanks he was chasing and J-Will was knifed in a tailgate fight.

I think the "home" game thing is over-rated.

It's not like they get a normal home crowd. Yeah, they get their locker-room, but it's not like the Bengals are getting the also-ran visitors locker-room since they get the Chargers, which is also a home team to that stadium.

The Rams are just so much more used to playing on that field. The nuances like how the ball looks coming down on punts and kickoffs with that rook, video boards, how the field feels with your cleets, traction, etc.

All things being equal, I'd say its harder to win at Arrowhead than it is at SOFI.... I think the added distractions (extended halftime, pregame, etc) is a big deal, but truthfully the Rams don't really have the same roster they did several years ago either, so it's a lot of new guys on both sides of the ball.

I just want to see Mixon score a TD and do the Icky Shuffle

Unbelievable article. Worth the time to read.

Burrow is other worldly.

Joe Burrow's last career playoff loss informs the Bengals' unlikely Super Bowl run

Burrow helped lead an Ohio team without much championship history to the brink of a title. Before it was the Bengals, it was Athens High School, and this time Burrow hopes the ending is different.

One new issue that concerns me a bit is the heat of LA this week. I'm sure the Bengals are scheduled to work out outside all week, but their bodies are not acclimated to summer type temps.... They've been practicing in freezing temps for the past 2 months and now they're back to August. I hope they don't show up on Sunday dehydrated and tired from the week.

Interestingly the Rams don't have an Indoor Facility.... I suppose in LA you really never need one. So, they'll have a similar issue - But I bet they are better connected around the city and could find an indoor facility.
