For me it’s all about Carolina/Arizona.
January 23, 2016 at 12:20 am #37901PA RamParticipantIf I don’t lose power I’ll watch it. Doesn’t Steven Jackson still play for New England? They didn’t cut him, did they?
But Carolina/Arizona is the game I’m more interested in watching.

January 23, 2016 at 2:58 am #37903Eternal RamnationParticipantI watched a couple of minutes of the Cheats Vs. Chiefs. Brady got knocked down instant flag storm, roughing the passer. Smith was hit late and much harder about 3 times and no flag. I told myself nope I seen this before.Might be less home cooking because it’s in Denver but it’s sure to bring up some bad Ramemories but Denver does match up with them well.

For me its all about shoveling the driveway.
Or…finding the driveway.

vJanuary 23, 2016 at 6:38 am #37907nittany ramModeratorI will do my darndest to watch both games.
There’s only three games left then 6 months of oblivion.
January 23, 2016 at 9:02 am #37912bnwBlockedOnly if NE is losing will I then tune in. The Carolina vs. AZ is the game for me. I want the Panthers to win and I want to see Arians head explode.
The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.
Sprinkles are for winners.
January 23, 2016 at 9:41 am #37915NERamParticipantAlways will watch, with fervent hopes that they get pounded mercilessly into the ground.
If it turns out to be one-sided in favor of NE, then I will turn it off in disgust.
If it is close, I will watch it all the way through. Hope springs eternal.
If NE is getting pounded, not only will I watch it, I’ll probably record it for future viewing pleasure… 😉

Nice!

vJanuary 24, 2016 at 7:49 am #37962GreatRamNTheSkyParticipantI love football so I will watch both games. To me the Brady vs Manning is more interesting.
I personally want to see Carolina fail because I don’t like their owner Jerry Richardson.Would be great to see Rancho Santa Margarita boy Carson Palmer get a Super Bowl ring.

January 24, 2016 at 12:05 pm #37981znModeratorI got too much to do to watch both games. So, I just figure, Denver doesn’t stand much of a chance, and the living dead version of Manning isn’t Manning. Unlike some, I happen to like Arians, and I also like the idea that the NFC west could be sending teams to the superbowl in 4 consecutive years. I have no feelings about Carolina one way or the other.
January 24, 2016 at 1:07 pm #37983ZooeyModeratorIf I had my choice, I’d watch most or all of the NFC game, and the 2nd half of the AFC game.
As it is, I will watch the first half of the AFC game, and none of the rest of it.
It is hockey season in my house, and I am taking my son to San Jose tonight for a Kings/Sharks game. Gotta be leaving in about 5 hours.
Love hockey. The cold air flowing off the ice, the echoing crack of sticks, the thunder of checks, and the smell of shark meat.

Do you watch Arians with the sound turned off? His shit talk before and after games is what I don’t like. He’s certainly ran his mouth about the Rams but he outdid himself in the week leading to the Seahawks blasting his team in his stadium in week 17. What do you like about him besides he wins of course!

I used to be a big hockey fan but when they made helmets mandatory and began throwing out the next player to get involved in a fight or come off the bench I think a lot of the character of the game was lost. I realize these days that sounds insane but unless you watched the game back in the mid 70s and earlier you won’t know why it makes a difference. I do like the shoot outs to end the tie games though.

You care more about what he says than I do. Not judging, I could see why someone would care, I just don’t.
I like the fact that he’s a good old-fashioned Coryell offense type, I like the fact that he’s a no-nonsense non-PC “speaks his mind” non-slick type coach, and I like the fact that he beat the odds in becoming a head coach in spite of being labelled a “career coordinator” type. I don’t mind his manner, but that;s just a matter of taste.

January 24, 2016 at 5:28 pm #38008znModeratorFormer Rams playing key roles in championship games
Nick Wagoner
EARTH CITY, Mo. — The Los Angeles Rams only played one of the NFL’s final four during the 2015 regular season, splitting a pair of contests against the NFC West division rival Arizona Cardinals.
So while the Rams aren’t terribly familiar with the four teams left in the playoffs, there are former Rams who could play a big part in determining which teams go to the Super Bowl.
Here’s a look at the former Rams dotting the rosters of the Cardinals, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos:
— We’d be remiss to start with any team other than the Patriots and running back Steven Jackson. Jackson is the Rams’ all-time leading rusher and was just about all the team had during his nine years with the team. Now, Jackson plays for the Patriots and is finally enjoying a taste of the playoffs. Last week’s win against Kansas City was the first playoff victory for Jackson since after the 2004 season. While he’s past the point of being the bell-cow back he once was for the Rams, he’s still getting some snaps and will get some touches in the AFC Championship Game against the Broncos. For longtime Rams fans looking for sentimental reasons to root for a team, Jackson would be the obvious choice, even if he plays for a Patriots team that Rams fans still dislike from their loss in Super Bowl XXXVI.
— Joining Jackson in New England is wide receiver Danny Amendola, who played a central role in the Patriots’ run to the world championship last year. Amendola wasn’t productive last week against the Chiefs and didn’t play against the Broncos earlier in the year but he has a knack for coming up with big plays at big times and could be important against Denver’s talented secondary. Amendola was once the Rams’ best receiver but departed for New England after the 2012 season.
— As for Denver, the only former Ram on the roster is safety Darian Stewart. Stewart signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2010 and flashed promise with the team but simply couldn’t stay healthy enough to nail down a permanent job. He went to Baltimore before the 2014 season and then signed with Denver before this year. He went on to post his best season and is Denver’s starter at free safety. He’ll have his hands full Sunday against New England tight end Rob Gronkowski, though he’s sure to be just one piece of the puzzle the Broncos use to try to slow him down.
— In the NFC, the Cardinals actually don’t have a former Ram on their roster but the Panthers have two and both will be in important spots on Sunday. Cornerback Cortland Finnegan and right tackle Mike Remmers had short stints with the Rams, though Remmers’ time with the team was much shorter. Finnegan signed with the Rams as a free agent in 2012 but was released after an injury-plagued 2013 season. He went to Miami and retired after the 2014 season only to sign with Carolina after the Panthers secondary was hit hard by injury late in the season. Finnegan had an interception last week against Seattle, but it’s fair to assume the Cardinals will test him with the likes of John Brown and Larry Fitzgerald in the NFC title game. Remmers will be busy as well with defensive end Calais Campbell on the other side plus Arizona’s group of outside pass-rushers behind him.
— This is only the seventh time that the top two seeds in both conferences have made it to the championship games since the current playoff format began in 1990. It’s also the first time it’s happened since 2004. That should mean some good football on Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the games.
January 24, 2016 at 6:20 pm #38010znModeratorWell I didn’t really see the game (glimpses…left the tv on while doing tasks.)
But, I am not unhappy about the outcome.
EDIT: oops spoke too soon.

NOW I can be “not unhappy” about the outcome.
January 24, 2016 at 7:20 pm #38015NERamParticipantI, for one, am happy.
Very happy.
Quite happy, even.

Panthers ran a couple of Rams plays on em. Like on the Ginn TD.
