Rams win but disappointing performance at home IMO.

Bengals should've gone for the FG from 50y.

Not this time. Defence wins the big final again. Never seen a QB sacked so many times let alone in a SB.

Kupp or Donald MVP?
7 sacks on Burrow, and 9 against the Titans in the Divisional game. Needs some O-Line help or he could have a 5-6 year career.

Another close game in what has been an amazing play off series, but this one just didn't have the same excitement as all the others for some reason.

Maybe due to the 50/50 crowd split perhaps?

Well done to the Rams, their defence was outstanding. Stood up when needed after Beckham going down seemed to rattle Stafford and the offence.

I was going to write earlier that was the flattest 'title/trophy' game I can remember for a long time. Probably have to go back to the 2007, 2009 & 2011 AFL Premiers :unsure:

But in their defence, they were playing away at the 'G' ;)

Even the ceremony presentation was so lame and subdued with Goodell and announcers trying to hype it up. It was so obvious. The game itself was really good, but the atmosphere was very flat.

Stephen A Smith warned about this last week saying that LA simply doesn't care about football. Its a baseball and basketball town. Combine that with a heap of neutral corporates and maybe it was always destined to come across as a bit flat in the crowd.

It really was a pretty boring Superbowl.

But the lead up and almost every game in the post season until today was outstanding.

Can't complain

Sad to see the close of another NFL season.

Love the un-predictability of it all, never know who is going to beat who on any given Sunday.

It sure makes the AFL off season go by so much quicker.

Our attention now turns to our beloved Tigers, bring on 2022.

Burrows missed that final piece by two yards, wouldve been an all time play. Get that man an offensive line and they can compete for years.

Great Super Bowl.

Interesting to see all the tweets from players condemning artificial turf after the injury to OBJ.

All of them saying the NFL should ban it and make all stadiums go with real grass.

Will something come of this, or will the fury die down and fade into obscurity?

Atmosphere flat / boring because it was a tight defensive 2nd half.
What was it, 6 straight sets of 4 down (each team 3 times). No one scoring or making long drives.
And both QB were shaky for periods of the game.
It made for a tight but quieter match
And yeah the crowd noises / reaction was muted. Not like in the championship when the LA crowd was LALOUD
