I'm only a part time watcher, but one of things that stood out today was the Rams not punting on a 4th down and keeping the drive alive that they eventually scored off. I get that field position is paramount, and you don't want to give the opposition a crack in good territory, but it feels like teams should back themselves a little more when they're 4th and fuck-all
Shit take?
Nah you're on the money. The analytics guys have been saying NFL teams are generally too conservative when it comes to going for it, although that's starting to change now.

How bout dem Rams! Was an enthralling game to watch.
After OBJ went down they looked a bit flat and the Bengals lifted.
Desperation by the Bengals in the last Rams drive and the pressure finally cracked them for the go ahead TD. Massive defence to end the game.
Great season.

so, saw an interesting question
Does Joe Burrow ever get back to the Superbowl?
At first i laughed, and then
Superbowls are ridiculously hard to make, let alone win. You take Brady away (who has warped everyone's expectations around talented players and success) and the list of great QBs who have played in 2 SB's starts to drop away alarmingly
Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are two of the greatest of all time, they have played in a combined 2 SBs.
The odds are, that was Burrow's shot. At least at the Bengals.

Probably.
You need a fair bit of luck to get there. Even Brady last year needed that - the Green Bay game was really touch and go.
But yeah, take Brady out and it's on. that said, with the talent comign through, some will get a couple of cracks.

They seem like pretty nice guys. Bound to be real

And yet Eli Manning has two rings.
and one of them the most unlikely SB win in my time watching.

Russell Wilson to the broncos.
Broncos send Seattle Lock, Fant, Shelby Harris, 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a 5th. Plus they get a 4th back from Seattle.
That's a decent haul for Seattle but not insane. Broncos probably will be the happier of the two, you have to feel that this is at least partially Wilson forcing his way out and dropping his price. As a comparison Seattle paid 2 firsts and change for Jamal Adams a couple of years ago, and Adams was more vocally unhappy at the time than Wilson. Two extra seconds are significant and maybe the Seahawks wanted sooner draft picks rather than holding out for a 3rd first.

That's a decent haul for Seattle but not insane.I get a sense that Rodgers re-signing triggered the Broncos pushing 'go' on this one.
Fun times next year - he's great to watch. Seattle in full rebuild now you'd think

Yep I'm interested to see how he goes, he's coming off a bit of a down year but I'm expecting the new surroundings and a pretty talented Broncos roster to help him bounce back.
I wonder if Miller comes back to the Broncos now.
