September 17, 2023 at 2:55 pm #145403znModeratorFishkiller@FV_Mylia_Lynnon a positive note – the Rams struggles in the run game last week vs Seattle is less concerning watching the Lions struggle to run the ball vs them today too.September 18, 2023 at 12:08 am #145437znModerator

September 18, 2023 at 1:22 pm #145453znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTSTPuka Nacua and TuTu Atwell have performed extremely well. Currently on pace for… Nacua: 212 receptions, 2,261 yards Atwell: 110 receptions, 1,661 yards Current production obviously won’t last and will go down once Kupp returns. But have to like what you’re seeing from them..Byron Young’s eight pressures this season trails only Jalen Carter among rookies. Young leads Will Anderson who was drafted third overall by the Houston Texans.September 18, 2023 at 1:24 pm #145454znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_Long
Notable PFF grades from W2 for the Rams…Puka 81.0
Kobie 79.5
Rozeboom 74.4
AD 73.0
Jonah 70.0
Tutu 69.7 (was expecting it’d be even higher)

Kyren 83.5 pass block, 75.1 run (just got killed for the drop/INT)September 18, 2023 at 2:50 pm #145457znModeratorStill two games on MNF to be played in Week 2, but Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell both currently rank in the Top 10 in the NFL in receiving yards.
Nacua leads the NFL in catches with 25; Atwell is tied with two others (Texans' Nico Collins and Ravens' Zay Flowers) for ninth-most. pic.twitter.com/D6qQLDWH5T

September 18, 2023 at 3:08 pm #145458znModeratorBarstool Gambling@stoolgamblingIf you had 49ers -7.5 Rams chose to kick a field goal down 10 as time expires to cover the spread,Allen Sales@AllenSalesPoint differentials matter. Especially in a Divisional Game. They use it for tie breakers at the end of the season for playoff seeding. Chargers missed the playoffs in 2021 because of this. You take the points here.September 18, 2023 at 3:09 pm #145459znModerator"The coaching is astounding. They are squeezing every bit of talent out of this roster."

September 18, 2023 at 3:28 pm #145461znModeratorNick Wagoner@nwagonerRams DL Aaron Donald was double teamed a whopping 55% by #49ers. Donald managed one pressure on 24 pass rush attempts with no tackles and a pass rush win rate of 14.3%.September 18, 2023 at 4:25 pm #145463znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTSTKyren Williams had a 75.1 rushing grade and again had an impressive 2.43 yards after contact and forced three missed tackles. Again, a solid day outside of the drop that led to the INT.September 18, 2023 at 5:46 pm #145464ZooeyModeratorBarstool Gambling@stoolgamblingIf you had 49ers -7.5 Rams chose to kick a field goal down 10 as time expires to cover the spread,Allen Sales@AllenSalesPoint differentials matter. Especially in a Divisional Game. They use it for tie breakers at the end of the season for playoff seeding. Chargers missed the playoffs in 2021 because of this. You take the points here.Lemme say this about that.
A couple radio talkers on my way to work this morning where scratching their heads, and calling the FG weird, etc., and of course, it screwed some gamblers. Okay. The thing is that if McVay had called some play that had actually resulted in a TD, nobody would be saying anything. You throw a Hail Mary, and score. It blows the spread, too, but nobody woulda thought it was “weird.”
Why?
A TD would have been equally futile. Nothing would have been gained, except stats. So why throw a Hail Mary in that situation? Why not just kneel?
Because ending with a score is fighting to the last second, and that’s what you do.
So the reason is exactly the same, only the FG is a much higher probability of scoring. It may make even MORE logical sense to go for a FG in that situation than to throw a Hail Mary as the clock runs out.

He is still in that role and McVay says team is “working through specifics” (i.e. terms) of what that looks like through the season.September 18, 2023 at 7:43 pm #145469znModeratorSeptember 19, 2023 at 9:00 am #145470InvaderRamModeratorSeptember 19, 2023 at 9:57 am #145471ZooeyModeratorPuka also has 5 more receptions than any other player, just as we all expected through 2 weeks https://t.co/KMzZ9wHQzZ

IR, 2 things.
- A quirk of this board–if you post written words with a tweet the tweet won’t appear, it just becomes a link. The way to do it if you want to add writing with a tweet is post the tweet alone, and then edit it to add writing. I have no idea why it’s like that.
- Actually that post is already up, here: plays & play analysis, SF game. You can always count on a “play breakdowns” type thread with Baldinger and Waldman etc. after every game. Usually outside of Rodrigue those threads are the best outside material posted here.
