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.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
