Yeah,I'm glad to be a native Ladonian after this fiasco.

It was a legit win and people only whine about calls that were missed on one side negating that it goes both ways. On 2nd down and goal the Bengals should of been called for holding the rb. It should of been 1st and goal from the 4 anyways. The Bengals chose to hold the f out of them every play and in the end the refs called it. That's not a conspiracy.

So they rigged it for LA, but they never rig it for SF. I guess the market isn't big enough for Roger

Gotta build up the Rams fan base in that L.A. market.

This was a totally ref-generated win. They handed it to the Lambs. I didn't watch the game until the Lambs bogus calls that lead to them getting the TD.

The Bengals couldn't stop the Rams on that last drive even though they had no running game and only one real receiving threat. They deserve a lot of blame too. Then when they got the ball back they could do enough to get into FG position. The Bengals players, to their credit aren't blaming the refs. They know that they were holding at the end , desperately trying to stop them. The real problem is they got caught. If they hadn't made those calls at the end then Rams fans would be screaming about the 75 yard TD that could have been called back.

No one cares what a poll of 49ers fans thinks. The ring on their fingers and the trophy in their case says it was a legit win. The Bengals had every chance to win the game in their last drive and they choked.

The Bengals couldn't pressure Stafford or stop Cooper Kupp on the Ram's final drive. The Bengals deserved to lose period.

The last two drives of the game sums up exactly how the Rams beat the 49ers...QB pressure and Cooper Kupp.

Well, like I said, I didn't really watch the game until that point, and even then turned it off after the BS call that lead to the Lambs getting that TD. I just couldn't stomach watching the game because I'm still sick from that horrendous Jimmy G. performance against them two weeks ago.

When you live in one of the biggest markets in the country and you can buy your Rams regular season ticket on game day, something has to improve ticket sales.
Add in the celebrities you might bump into now that you've seen them there on TV (maskless so that you can recognize them unlike the peasants) and BOOM! Massive interest

Poorly officiating may have caused the Bengals an opportunity to win their first super bowl. However, poor coaching also prevented the Bengals from taking advantage of extended their lead early though the 3rd quarter with a TD, Instead they had to settle for the field goal, and let's not forget the BIG drop on 3rd down that came back to haunt them.

Point Is, despite poor officiating late on, the Bengals still had plenty of opportunities to win and they failed.

It wasn't poor officiating. They just started calling it closer. I've seen many games where the officials call plays tighter in close games near the end. The players need to understand that because they'll do anything to prevent a late go ahead TD. We saw how they started calling holding against the Niners in the SB with KC. They pretty much let it go until the 4th quarter and then they started cracking down. It's nothing new and as I said players need to be aware that what you got away with in the 1st quarter isn't going to fly in desperation time.

It was deja vu. The Rams DL pressure in both games at the end is exactly what championship teams do.

B - because it was just typical bad referee stuff, did not call PI for most of the game then got happy with it
