Deebo Samuel tweeted support for his QB before the game, who in turn just got him murdered on an intermediate route.
We’ve got a few WRs I wouldn’t mind seeing Jimmy G coming here and doing that to.
Speaking of our WRs

I hope we keep the Rudolph to Washington connection in tact.

I’m already tingling with excitement.
I don't need to see either of them in Steelers uniforms again.


Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

This game is definitely developing towards a 49ers upset.

It has all the hallmarks.
Yeah, I'm feeling that too

The Bengals should roll either of these teams.

I don't have any particular hatred for the Rams, but it does strike me as just and right the football gods wouldn't let them buy themselves a championship .

Loading up with big name FA guys like Miller, Beckham Jr, trading away their drafted QB for Stat Padford, etc.

On that failed 4th & 1 QB sneak the wife seriously says “what kind of play was that”?

I’m like, what do you mean.

That play they just ran.

Oh the QB sneak?

She goes ya, I’ve never seen that play. Or at least the Steelers never do it…

Rams should be embarrassed the way 49er fans have taken over their stadium like that.

Looks like. and sounds 9er home game.

And the NFL though LA can support two teams. They cant even support one.

What a run by Samuel. Why cant Crazy Legs Douchepool do that.
Deebo is built like a tank and has get up and go speed and power. Claypool is built like someone's aunt. He falls down and can't get up.

They traded for all those guys. Those are moves you make to better your team. The Bengals brought in like 5-6 FAs this past season. Are they trying to buy a championship too?

Did the Rams just run a TE screen off of a flea flicker? Or, was that just a dump off?

Traveling home and had to listen to 1st half of Rams game on radio

Anyone else find it hard to listen to Kevin Harlen?

He's a speed announcer that must get paid by the word. Worse yet..
His whole tone and pitch is all the same. 75 mph.

At times I find myself waiting for the play to be over for the color guy to explain the play.

Eh, I don't know, I guess it's accumulating those pieces midseason to load for a title that LA the city couldnt care less about that feels a little cheap to me, like it's the NHL trade deadline or something. I hear you, just not feeling these guys.

49ers are well coached and play hard. Their fans will show up for SB.

So I dunno.

Tough to say this would be an upset. Line was 3.5 I believe, yet Shanny has beat McVay last 6 times.

Niners beat the highest scoring offense in Dallas and then went up to Green Bay and held the MVP to what, 10 points?

Niners are for real. Possession attrition football, clock management and really damn good defense.

Basically a Mike Tomlin porno.

Oh I’m with you on the LA thing. I just laugh at the NFLs insistence of having teams in a city that clearly won’t support them. Look at that stadium today, has to be 70-75% 9ers fans.
I just can’t criticize an organization for making moves that they believe will make them better. Hell I wish the Steelers had that sort of attitude.

And why would he have ever needed to behind that line with Emmitt?

Ha! Forgot about how bad that was.

I was watching Burrow earlier and how good he is at setting up screens. Ben played 18 years and never ran a screen that well.

We aren’t them.
In a local Pittsburgh radio post game show this year, a caller asked why the Steelers don't do QB sneaks. Charlie Batch talked about a time when the Steelers played in Washington, and Ben got hurt doing a sneak. Charlie said after that, no more sneaks. It will be interesting to see if they go back to doing them with a new QB next year.
