canadaramParticipantUgh! I hope that he stays.
canadaramParticipantI don’t enjoy watching a team without much of a pass rush. Throw in below average play from Rapp and Hill and I lost count of my heavy sighs during the game.
canadaramParticipantI thought production of both Higbee and Hopkins was interesting. When was the last time the Rams have had two TE’s have such strong games ? Did this happen because of game planning, (i.e. something that the Rams recognized in Denver’s defense)? Is it a preference of Mayfield? Or is it simply because Kupp and Robinson are out? Anyway, I had high hopes for Hopkins after the Super Bowl, and in this mess of a year he just hasn’t had the opportunity to come through.
canadaramParticipantNo stent for me yet.
Glad it worked out, zn.
canadaramParticipantMayfield and Murchison finally paying dividends is a relief.
canadaramParticipantGreat news, zn. Hope you’re home soon.
canadaramParticipantAll the best to you. Here’s to a smooth recovery and a quick return to normal activities.
canadaramParticipantLovely to see a win again. Baker really is an instant upgrade for the Rams at the backup QB position. Atwell continues to look like a solid option. Although I think every team can see the jet sweeps coming from a mile away now. How does one not love Bobby Wagner? I hope he plays another season.
canadaramParticipantHe represents an upgrade at the back up position. I wonder if he’s reached a point in his career where he’s willing to be a the number 2 guy on a roster?
The Rams might be good place for him to stick around for a couple of years. who knows how much longer Stafford keeps playing? Plus, even though Stafford has been durable throughout his career, backing up an older QB might represent a greater probability of seeing playing time for Mayfield.
canadaramParticipantNice to see Atwell making progress.
Hoecht is a nice role player. Hope they hold onto him next year.
Glad the Rams kept it competitive.
canadaramParticipantYeah, and if they have anything in Logan Bruss that would also be a bonus.
canadaramParticipantI was most encouraged by the play of A.J. Acuri. He wasn’t dominant or anything and maybe PPF or PFF or whatever the f+*k it’s called will grade him poorly, but I thought that he played well in his first start.
The Rams really need to address their lack of a pass rush this off-season.
canadaramParticipantIf the Rams offense accumulates their usual number of 3 and outs, Mahomes might throw for 300 yards in the first half.
canadaramParticipantI wonder if Akers is annoyed. After all, he supposedly wanted out of Dodge a few weeks ago, and now Henderson is released.
canadaramParticipantI laughed at the picture.
I believe that Eric “Stumpy Joe” Childs had a turn at RG for a short spell.canadaramParticipantI have no idea if it will work out, but I’m glad that the Rams signed Thomas. Clearly there is a lot of work to be done in order to fix the Rams offensive line for next season. Some of that fixing might come with guys getting healthy, but I have to think that there is a real possibility that both Edwards and Allen are done. In addition, Evans is terrible, I don’t hate Shelton but he’s just ok as a RG, Noteboom looked shaky before he was injured, Jackson has blood clots is that going to be a long term problem? Who knows what Logan Bruss brings to the table and Havenstein isn’t getting any younger. Therefore, starting the process of finding new blood for the line is obviously crucial for this off-season, but I am glad they’re starting now.
canadaramParticipantAre the o-line injuries worse than the worst year in St. Louis yet?
‘ The worst year before this was 2007. I would say that at this point 2022 is worse than 2007 was.
yay
canadaramParticipantJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams offensive line continues to be slammed by injury. Chandler Brewer played through a Grade 3 MCL suffered in-game. He’s having surgery, 4-6 weeks. LT Alaric Jackson had blood clots and has to go on medication, out for the season.Are the o-line injuries worse than the worst year in St. Louis yet?
canadaramParticipantThe Lions must be giddy right now.
canadaramParticipantThere is a chance that Stafford may retire. Not saying he will, but there is a chance. I do believe that Aaron Donald retires after the season is over. It might be a few years, that the Rams make the playoffs, if both Donald, & Stafford retire. Also, if both do retire, we may be better off trading players, that can get us, high draft picks, in return, as a complete rebuild will be the way to go. That’s of course, if we have any players, o our roster, that can be worth high draft picks.
Yep, seems like a scenario that could happen and at this point in his career he’s earned it. I would not be upset with him if Stafford took a wait-and-see approach before deciding if he’s going to play next season.
canadaramParticipantAs much as I hate watching this offense right now it hasn’t occurred to me to me angry with McVay and his play calling. However, after reading around different places in the internet, I am wondering if I am cutting him too much slack. Some of the villagers are in the town square and they brought their pitchforks and torches. Perhaps this is justified modern day fan reaction and I am naive, but I have no idea how McVay is supposed to do anything with this grouping. It’s like watching a preseason game. For me it is pointless to get upset about a team playing 2nd stringers as well and backups to the backups backups. I’m not even upset about the lack of rushing attempts.
Anyway, I am not a fan of Wolford as a backup, and while the offense will have other more pressing needs this offseason, I hope that finding a backup QB is one of them. They might even need to find a new starter if Stafford is being held together by duct tape and bubblegum.
canadaramParticipantI am still happy we won the Super Bowl last year
Me too! That fact has me a lot less uptight about this season compared to how I felt every year during the Linehan/Spagnuolo/Fisher eras. Or maybe I’m finally growing up.
canadaramParticipantThat was atrocious. Bobby Evans was horrible. I don’t care how logical and well researched the argument is, nobody can convince me that there isn’t guy somewhere on this planet that can play better than Evans.
This loss is on the offense, no doubt. However, the soft coverage by the db’s totally frustrates me. The constant walking up into the Rams end of field is so frustrating to watch. Yet I realize that without a pass rush and guys like Kendrick and Rapp playing, the Rams would probably give up too many deep passes every gamef they played tighter coverage. I just hate watching the drives unfold with opposing teams picking them apart using all the underneath stuff.
Anyway, this team is not fun to watch. Take my fan card away if you must, but I’m considering not watching them next week.
canadaramParticipantI don’t live in Minnesota, but the border is only a 45 minute drive from my front door. Haven’t been there since the pandemic started, but we have always been frequent visitors to the North Shore all the way down to the Twin Cities. Such a beautiful state.
canadaramParticipantIt’s just the Niners have owned the Rams over the last several seasons regardless of health or circumstance.
Thats all I’m really saying. Also, thank sweet baby jeebus that Tart dropped Stafford’s pass in the 4th quarter.
canadaramParticipantMy thoughts aren’t really about this game in particular. Already trying to forget it, to be honest. My thoughts are that I am shocked that the Rams beat the Niners in the NFC Championship Game last season. Yeah, yeah, different team, I know. It’s just the Niners have owned the Rams over the last several seasons regardless of health or circumstance. I hate it. I want an off-season that is totally geared toward beating the Niners. Even if the the Rams finish 2-15 next year. Not since the Rams first season back in LA has this team been less fun to watch.
canadaramParticipantMy memory is fading. Hopefully Allen and Edwards can return and play well. Put Havenstein in bubble wrap in the meantime.
Havenstein is fine, so I am a little curious about what you mean by that. In contrast, Edwards may not be coming back this year (consecutive concussions).
It was a bad joke referring to the fact that Havenstein is the only starter on the line yet to be injured this year.
canadaramParticipantMy memory is fading. Hopefully Allen and Edwards can return and play well. Put Havenstein in bubble wrap in the meantime.
canadaramParticipantWonder if they’ll keep Jackson at LT, and on the off chance that it is not his achilles, play Noteboom at guard when he returns from injury. Even when the offensive line injury woes were plaguing the St Louis Rams between 07 and 13, it was never this bad. What a crazy season.
canadaramParticipantSkowronek’s contributions are nice to see, Alaric Jackson played well enough at LT. If any in-season trades happen, I hope it is for offensive line help and not a running back. I feel like I am watching a slightly below .500 team.
