I would never bet against Burrow but unless the Bengals defense plays out of their mind I don’t see the Rams losing this one. 

The Rams are good but they were playing for field goals at the end and waiting for Jimmy G to throw an awful pick. I do not expect the fourth quarter to go that way for them against an offense with Burrow Mixon and Chase.

Rams and San Fran was a physical game...I still don't think the Bengals can out physical the Rams...KC is a finesse team if I've ever seen one.

And this is why you don’t trust QBs like Garoppolo. Give him an elite offensive line, an elite offensive play-caller, an elite skill position group, and an elite defense, and he can only go as far as his team can carry him. He doesn't make them better, he holds them back. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow is in the Super Bowl with a terrible offensive line and a defense ranking 19th in DVOA. 

If there's one lesson to take from this game, and these entire playoffs, it's that elite QBs elevate flawed teams while average QBs limit great ones.

I'd say numerous errors by the Rams were the only reason they were in the game to start with. That's the thing. An elite QB gives you a margin for error. Everything has to go perfect to win playoff games with Jimmy G.

More than perfect. SF needed a blocked punt to beat Green Bay. That's a rare play.

One thing to point out. It's not like the 49ers are unaware that Garoppolo is a limiting factor. They did, after all, draft Trey Lance. The fact that Lance hadn't already taken over the starting role by now, however, is very concerning. If we find out that Lance is not the guy, then it's the harsh reality that we could be stuck trying to find ours for a long time just like the bulk of the league that doesn't have one.

It will prob take us 10+ years.

This reminds me a lot of what Steve Smith said recently on the Pat McAfee show.  The topic was about Wentz but it still applies.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
