Yes, yes we are.
This was "the game from hell" as pretty much everything that could go wrong for the 49ers did...
If that game was played 99 more times I sincerely doubt it would go that way again.

BILL BERGEY does the coin-toss in two weeks if Bengals win!

Eagles/Chiefs?…DICK VERMEIL!

Despite a 20-13 lead for the Chiefs, Reid keeps calling dropbacks for Mahomes who is getting more nicked up as the game goes on ... Bengals made a huge play on 4th down.

Great game for Mahomes but the zebras decided the game with bad calls on the Bengals.

This is why people believe that the NFL is fixed. Brian Tuohy is right: It's legal for the NFL to fix it's own games, and I think they did that tonight. Don't know if I want to watch the SB if it will be more of the same.

Wow - what a super stupid late hit by Ossai! Kelce Bros. to meet in Glendale. My prediction - PHI to win its 2nd S.B. in two weeks.

Looked like a pretty obvious foul to me, but in the heat of battle and the game on the line maybe the ref should've swallowed the flag. But jeezus, guys gotta know by now they're gonna get flagged for even coughing at the star QB, much less shoving him when he's headed OB. It's terrible when an entire season comes down to just one dumb-ass play.

No doubt that last flag was dumb on the Bengals but they were frustrated with the repeated chances the Chiefs got due to penalties ...

Sorry, but until Burrow wins the SB, I wont call him Joe Cool but its funny he had that intentional grounding penalty, thats never called nowadays ...

Agreed. That left a very bad taste in my mouth. So much so that I refused to watch any of the post-game.

Normally I'd look forward to watching the next game but I found out just tonight that Ndamukong Suh plays for Philly and I am definitely NOT a fan of Ndamukong Suh's. I truly wish he hadn't already won a S.B. and now I think he's going to win his 2nd so that keeps me from being particularly excited about the game in 2 weeks.
