If I'm the Rams coaches, I'm fucken forgetting this whole idea about putting Ramsey on Chase just so Higgins can run wild all over the other not so great cornerbacks. Even Chase is so electric that he can beat Ramsey anyways.
I would double team Chase without Ramsey and put Ramsey on Higgins! Mix it up here and there of course but this would be my game plan.
I suspect Bengals try to come out running first quarter because they will be wary of Donald and Von Miller (and they should be) or they might keep passing on early downs which they have been known to do. Their oline sucks and Burrow knows it. He's been getting the ball out quick with shorter passes and going deep when he sees a favorable matchup.
I hope Rams don't tire themselves out thinking they can just blitz and overwhelm that crappy oline. Yet that's what you'd want to do. How can you not? I'd stick with the 4 for the first quarter. Rushing 5 is going to leave to much space for Burrow. Outside of Ramsey this secondary can be beat. Rams got many plays that can rush and can probably get away with 4.
Hmm..I'll watch some more game film then take a break and own some morons in Madden. Day off today. I'm feeling good about Rams Moneyline but want to bet a shitload of prop bets for this game.
Last game of the year. Going to treat it like one.
Hope to read lots of angles and match up and prop bet ideas from fellow members. Especially guys that follow and know Bengals very well. Would love to hear their input.
You know a weird thing I do? I play out the game in my head, and the storylines after. Like I envision the storylines and postgame interview. Do I see them interviewing Burrow about his first ever Superbowl win and the fact that he's the first QB to win the Superbowl, National title, and the Heisman Trophy? Or do I see them talking to Stafford and the headlines about how good it was for both Stafford to get out of the mess in Detroit and be on a contender and display what he can do? About how the Rams were a QB away and goes to show what we already knew. Goff sucks. Haha.
I see them interviewing Stafford post game about winning his first Superbowl and talking about how great Joe Burrow is and will be around for a long time as a great QB.
End rambling. I'm excited for this Superbowl. Anybody that thinks this isn't an exciting matchup is a rookie. Burrow and Stafford are fantastic pocket passers. You have Chase, Higgins, Beckham and Kupp. This will be a great game!
BOOMMMM!!!!!
