I say we see since slump Goff. He’ll have a serviceable game, but not good enough to counteract the day Brees has. Somewhere around a 58% completion percentage, 200-250 yards passing, one TD, but two interceptions, or possibly one interception and one fumble.

Who is this guy? It’s the first time I’ve seen him. I watched bits and pieces of this video trying to figure out where in Canada lives. I liked his lecture on thermal underwear. It looks like he’s in eastern Ontario, but I can’t tell for sure.

Rams will wear throwback uniforms Saturday against Cowboys, Rams announced.

I enjoy seeing the Rams in the throwback jerseys, but I was hoping for the whites this weekend. That would have meant that the Cowboys would have had to wear their blue jerseys.

6. THE CURSE OF THE BLUE JERSEY
The Cowboys were the designated home team in Super Bowl V, which meant they had to wear blue (the rule since has been changed to allow the designated home team the choice of wearing white or colors). Dallas lost the game, and the legend of “the blue jersey curse” was born. In subsequent years, opposing teams periodically have worn white at home just to force Dallas to wear blue — most famously in the 1981 NFC championship game, when the Eagles wore white at Veterans Stadium and won, thereby cementing the blue jersey’s status as uni non grata.

Happy New Year to all. May your favourite football team bring you much joy in the year(s) ahead.

I say rest him until the playoffs. Hopefully that’s in two weeks. If it’s next week then at least he’s had a couple of weeks off. It sounds like whatever he’s got going on is going to require offseason surgery.

Thanks for the maps JM.

I would say that if the Rams can’t beat ARZ at this point than everything is much worse than we thought.

Agreed.

Part of me also feels as though the Rams are in a figurative no-win situation during the next two weeks. If they beat bottom dwellers like Arizona and San Francisco it doesn’t necessarily prove anything in terms of them being back on track. Although some positive signs would be nice (ie. how they win, how Goff looks under pressure etc.). If the Rams are playing starters as they fight for a first round bye and they lose, then I might start focusing more on the draft than their first playoff game.

Road game in the cold against a tough defense the week after clinching the division. Oh well. I did not expect a game plan that had Gurley running the ball only 11 times.

I don’t expect this to be one of Goff’s better games.

I remember feeling pretty frustrated about the Rams TE situation after the playoff loss to Atlanta, but now I feel cautiously optimistic. Everett and Higbee have a real opportunity with Kupp’s injury.

Rams should win, but i think that it will be closer than most expect. I think wv’s difference of 8 pts is pretty reasonable, but I think the Rams eclipse 30 points. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Lions get close to the 30 point level.

I know getting rid of the kickoff has been suggested for a few years now, but I’d never really had a strong opinion about it. Recently having read some books about brain injuries I’ve started to feel that eliminating the kickoff is a good idea. I like the Schiano idea actually. This video is the first that I’ve heard of it. The narrator would prefer a 4th and ten scenario, but I’d prefer to stay with Schiano’S plan or even go to 4th and 20 because it seems like there is already an increase in scoring in today’s NFL. I don’t want even the slightest chance even more inflated scoring. Anyway, I liked that video.

That was great. I especially loved Woods reaction to Ebukam’s second TD.

I expected KC to flirt with the 50 point plateau, but I didn’t expect Ebukam to score two TDs. Great to win and even better to have ten wins before the end of November. Hopefully Talib is back and healthy on December 2 vs Detroit.

The Rams can probably score 30 plus against KC, but I honestly would not be surprised to see KC approach the 50 point plateau. I don’t see a Rams win no matter how I look at this game.

Can’t help but appreciate being 9-1 before the halfway point in November. I’ll never not appreciate a winning record. With only 6 games left the Rams only need one win for the division title. That amazes me. After sitting in the middle of a desert from 2005 to last year I’m still in awe of the Rams current succes.
