Rams vs 49ers. Game 1

Okay, well the Hacksized version is Australia is really only 7 hours time difference, not 17. And London is an 8-hour difference, and McVay’s plan worked fine.

Is this a “how your body clock relates to daylight” thing v. “the actual hours as determined by a timer” thing?

I don’t know. I’m sure there are scientists who have studied jet lag, but they’re all liberals with a liberal agenda, so they are probably lying about their findings because they hate America. And no other countries have any scientists that study jet lag, or infectious diseases, or climate change, who could reinforce the findings. But I don’t know.

All I know – from my personal experience – is that the first time I travelled internationally (when I moved to England), I was whacked out for about 5 days, and every other time I’ve travelled, it’s been a quicker recovery. And I don’t think a 7 hour difference would really throw me off if I was an athlete who had to compete.

I think what he’s saying is that McVay’s Rams represent the Enlightenment, Science, and Democracy, while Shanahan’s 49ers represent Superstition, Witches, and the Dark Ages.

Ah. So…it’s the French Revolution?

I know for absolute certainty the only true answer to the question, is not starting AD in the Melbourne game a good or a bad decision.

It’s clear as day what the answer is.

In fact, it will be the first thing I post about immediately after the game.

Right then and there, I will declare what the obvious truth was all along.

And zn, you’ve given everything away. All we have to decide is are you the type of person that would put the poison in front of yourself.

#49ers DT Alfred Collins tore his patella tendon in practice yesterday. He’s out for the season.

See?

If Shanahan had waited, the 49ers would have been on a plane like the Rams, and this guy wouldn’t have been practicing.

Dunno.

But here’s the youtube version.

Rams have a great strategy for the Australia game

They rented an A380. The most expensive charter plane on earth

Enough lay flat seats for all the players and cabin altitude of 5,000 compared to 8,000 on regular passenger planes

The players can actually get a good night sleep on this plane. Due to low cabin altitude, high humidity, and its dead quiet.

Wake up, warm up, and play the game staying on Pacific time

The Niners have now adjusted to a different time zone where the game is played at 10am. Not the time their body is trained to perform

This is why the Rams have chosen this strategy. It makes total sense.

Yep. Cowherd compared the Rams today to the Bellichek Patriots. Constantly relevant. Let players go a year early. And… the trip to Australia…he says it’s a “Seal Force 6” move. Get in there. Execute the mission. Get out.

Unpopular opinion, but as an Aussie living in Southern California who has done LAX-Australia dozens of times… the @RamsNFL’s strategy of arriving the day before their game is spot on.

They rest/sleep on the 15-hour flight on Tuesday night in a very comfortable lie-flat bed on a @Qantas A380.

Land Thursday morning Oz Time feeling pretty fresh. Push through the day, light training. Early night. Wake up Friday feeling great. Play ball.

Meanwhile the 49ers have spent a week away from home trying to convince their bodies they live in Australia.

Give me the Rams strategy every time.

The body isn’t “trained” to perform at certain times. This is just one of those things people say that sounds kind of plausible.

well according to science they say peak performance occurs six hours after you wake up at the earliest up to twelve hours. so late afternoon to early evening.

which says to me that if the rams lose they will have lost to a niner team at their lowest ability to perform vs the rams’ highest ability to perform. so the worst possible outcome for the rams.
