I would like to add that the Rams have now beat the Niners 4 out of the last 5 times they’ve played.

I always assumed that the Rams would change one variable in an attempt to fix the kicking game, and I always assumed that Karty wasn’t the issue. It looked like the right side of the line was breaking down in some of those misses. I also thought that maybe Alex Ward snaps might be a fraction of a second too slow for the NFL, giving defenders the extra time they need to disrupt the kicking game. Ward also wasn’t much help in getting in the way of Jordan Davis in the Eagles game. Anyway, changing two variables wasn’t what I expected to happen. I like Karty, I assumed that he was a long term solution to the problems of 2023, it wouldn’t surprise me if he catches on somewhere else and ends up having a long career.

Let’s go Mevis.

Eight receptions and a TD from the TE group, recreating Puka in the aggregate to quote Brad Pitt in Moneyball. I was worried that McVay’s decision to kneel out the end of the first half would come back to haunt the Rams. Glad it worked out, but I wanted the Rams to keep the foot on the pedal at that point. The defense has given up 10 points in the last 2 road game, not to shabby. I was hoping for more from the Rams running game today.

Could’ve been related to the conditions today, but the Rams FG unit doesn’t seem to have McVay’s trust at this point. Will be interesting to see if that becomes a focus of the bye week.

Great to see 5 TDs from the old man with the bad back. When was the last time a Rams qb did that?

The last 2 years the Rams have done well post bye week, and that was with poor records. They enter this bye week at a solid 5-2. Hopefully, they keep it rolling against the Saints in 2 weeks.

Let’s go, bye week!

Low hanging fruit, I realize, but I really appreciate Tutu Atwell. I don’t really care that he hadn’t done anything before today, he brings an element to the receiving corps that otherwise doesn’t exist. I don’t think $10 million is paying too much for him. He’s clearly not good enough to take away snaps from Nacua or Adams, but McVay seems to know how to use him when it matters most. Reminded me of his big catch late in the Niners game early last year.

Happy to see the field goal unit worked out their issues. Stafford is an all-timer. Aside from the botched handoff, the running game was solid and balanced between Corum and Williams. Nice to see on a such a short week. Curl and Verse came up big when it mattered most. I hope Verse’s finger is ok.

Anyway, great win. That will help me get over my still lingering depression over the self destructive loss to the Eagles.

Holding Barkley in check and still losing because of two ST gaffs?? This after a blocked extra point last week??Awful. Seems like the kinda thing a ST coach should be put on notice over.

EDIT: The defense had done a decent job on 3rd down until the Eagles last scoring drive. Not a good time to fall apart.

Wait, I thought that Jourdan was done covering the Rams.

I thought Avila came back and Limmer moved over to right at that point?

That punch out by Landman was incredible. I don’t think I recall ever seeing one that was so intentional and so perfect. Nice hustle by Fiske to get the ball too. For the love of god seeing both Davis Allen and Parkinson on the field was too much to bear. Yeah, I know Allen got a TD, but I don’t have a lot of faith in with of those two TE’s. Anyway, I thought Karty’s kickoffs were good and Williams runs on the last drive before the completion to Puka were impressive, especially after that holding penalty to Allen.

Great win against a tough team.

I just saw McVay said that Lampkin is going to miss a “few weeks” with an ankle and knee injury suffered in the Chargers game. Perhaps he starts the year on IR. If so, it could create some interesting opportunities for a player on the bubble to prove themselves.

Rams spokesperson declined to comment, adding that head coach Sean McVay would address the situation in his Monday press conference.

Call me a crazy conspiracy theorist, but this seems both highly significant and ominous.

It was obviously Dotson or Stafford.

I wonder if Kendrick gets a shot with Morris in Atlanta? Would be back in Georgia with his first NFL DC.

Rams agree to terms with free agent OT D.J. Humphries

Free agent offensive tackle D.J. Humphries agreed to terms with the 49ers on April 29 but never signed. His representation, AMDG Sports, announced on social media Thursday that Humphries is signing with the Rams.

The Rams have Alaric Jackson as their starting left tackle and Rob Havenstein at right tackle.

Humphries signed with the Chiefs on Nov. 23, 2024, after recovering from a torn ACL late in the 2023 season. The Chiefs anticipated Humphries taking over at left tackle, but in his first game, which came in Week 14, he injured his hamstring.

Humphries returned in Week 18 to play 32 snaps, but he played no offensive snaps in the postseason as Joe Thuney moved from guard to left tackle. Humphries, 31, did play nine special teams snaps in the team’s first two postseason games. He did not get on the field in the Super Bowl.

The Cardinals made Humphries a first-round pick in 2015, and he made the Pro Bowl in 2021. He started 98 games in his nine seasons in Arizona.

I really don’t know how I would have handled my Rams fandom had they signed Rodgers. It wouldn’t surprise me if the roster currently has some other anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist loons on it, but at least I don’t know about them right now.

On NFL Radio Pat Kirwin has been talking about the guaranteed money for second rounders since the Texans signed Higgins. Obviously no agent will want to be known as the one who couldn’t get guaranteed money for the their guy, it’s bad for future business. It’s quite the sticky situation.

I’m incapable of taking any of this at face value. It all seems like theatre to me.
