ParticipantThis hit piece on Stafford I just can’t take seriously. Brady was shut out by a struggling Saints team, Rogers lost to the same Vikings team the Stafford led Rams never trailed in their win Sunday. A win that includes 3 ints including 1 stupid throw into very good double coverage 1 deflected at the los (it happens, it happened to Brady when we played him happened to Rodgers when we played him
Happened to Mahomes many times this year)
Stafford didn’t melt down instead he hits Kupp on a clutch 3rd down throw for 37 yards and sealed the win with a laser to OBJ.Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantI had much the same reaction as everyone but then I started hearing stuff. 1 of the OCs playing today was Lefthanded the other was Righthanded
I’m not sure the order but that is notable. Both starting LTs on the roster were not even in the state. The Rams have had 2 full practices this month and that’s with not knowing who’s available for the game day roster. I was upset that Mcvay was checked out and that was wrong what he was is exhausted. I know it was ugly but I think we may have seen one of the greatest coaching performances ever this month including this game. This amount of adversity overcome is staggering. Stafford fell today and this team was right there to pick him up . I mean don’t forget they just played the Seahawks Tuesday night and the get on a plane to play an early start in MN against the team sack leader down your starting 1a. and 1b. LTs. They get a normal weeks practice in and Witt and Noteboom back and look out.Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantThe Rams have placed LT Andrew Whitworth on reserve/COVID list, the team announced.

ParticipantSeems like getting Josh Reynolds really helped just having someone he knows and trusts .Reynolds is underrated imo and will get better.

ParticipantThanks for the edit zn !

ParticipantI’m still mad about the refs not calling two blatant roughing calls facemask should have put us 1st and goal at the 1. The helmet to helmet while another defender torqued Stafford’s knee way late (he completed the pass) at the very least cost us 4 points. On the positive the really played like the well connected team we saw early this season noting the Covid-19 outbreak a little too connected.

ParticipantBlanton has been blocking pretty good in his few snaps also they could get really creative and put Hoect in at FB he has some experience running the ball

ParticipantIf the Rams come out with 6 OL 2 TEs with Michel they could keep KM and co off the field

ParticipantIs there any other kind of news this season ? We have had so many people out with season ending injuries I can’t remember it being this bad .
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantJust focusing on the offense here but Stafford’s first year in it he loses Akers in Camp then Funk Mundt Harris Atwell Woods for the season Skowronek last week after a bye trying to hurriedly implement OBJ and deal with several lingering injuries. Looking at the first 8 games some of the amazing throws that Goff wouldn’t make on his best day. He didn’t suddenly become an awful QB. Late November at Lambeau he lost a 1 possession game to the same Packers team that beat the Cards while down 5 starters.
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantRepeating the same thing and expecting different results Mcvay is insane. Axe Morris and Joe D.
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantI think it should be mentioned that OBJ has a stronger arm then Stafford . Imagine if you will Stafford rips a laser to OBJ on the edge and OBJ uncorks a 70 yr bomb to Jefferson who has blown past cb 4 This is a risk free move , they don’t need to even activate him if there’s a chance of hurting the team and if he’s finally happy and flourishes could mean Rams playing in Sofi in February. Is he a head case? His teammates say no ,he has a house in LA several Rams are friends with him and after Djax Atwell Harris all history this season we were paper thin at wr .If we don’t resign him next year we get a pick if he goes somewhere else. What’s not to love?

ParticipantIt was awful horrible terrible and not at all fun. I really can’t stand this shit.
November 3, 2021 at 12:37 pm in reply to: Jackson, 34, was willing to stay with the Rams, but Rams opted to move on #133611Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantHe was exciting to watch on the field but the one against the Seahawks didn’t look right and the one against the Bux where he taunts them, loved the
play but didn’t like the behavior. So then he beefs not getting the ball enough Mcvay puts him on returns then he beefs again and requests trade. It’s all trying to put the tooth paste back in the tube . I wish it would’ve worked out but I trust Mcvay did the right thing.Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantWhat is it with the Rams and lbs? He was playing lights out!

ParticipantBarkley ankle injury looks bad Qb in concussion protocol and a bunch of other injuries Giants are hurting.

ParticipantThat was awful horrible Defense horrible Offense McKay turtles yuck
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantThe Rams finally have a home field advantage!Remember when the Oline was the biggest question mark heading into the season?

ParticipantI think was on Metcalf most of the time, got in his head and caused a couple melt downs.

Morris has the talent for this defense to be elite. But it never will be by the conservative scheme he’s employing. It’s not the players. Staley had less talent and did more than Morris is doing. Drop, read first then react is a losing way to play. The players are too fast these days to do that. Staley played his zone as a combo zone/man. Zone only dictated who you would cover. Once a receiver entered the zone he was played in man coverage. Obviously, that is a simplification but it’s an illustration of how it’s different from Morris’ version. In Morris’ zone, they simply make their drops and wait to see where the pass is thrown then react. That concedes the reception. unless the DB is right on top of the receiver when the pass is thrown. That is the ancient way of playing zone.
Morris showed he can be more aggressive when he forced the Colt’s first punt. He locked them down immediately by playing more guys in the box, taking away their run game. When they were behind the chains he then backed off and played pass. I have no problem with that at all. Had he done that the entire game IMO the score wouldn’t have even been close. He would wait until they were on the Ram’s side of the field before he began to tighten things down. At that point he’s trying to limit them to FGs. That’s a loser mentality.
I disagree that Morris has better talent.losing JJ3 Troy Hill Morgan Fox Ebukam and Brockers all with years of experience playing together has to effect continuity and where was this talent gain coming from?
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantJack you have the Raiders @ 9 and 9 which I don’t believe will happen in the regular season but other than that it’s a reasonable take all one could expect at this point
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantThat was probably the most entertaining preseason game I watched ever.The Bobby Brown submarining the center for a tfl is something I’ve never seen before ,that was crazy! Perkins is looking to me like a better back up than Wolford especially the durability aspect. Atwell is too small and is going to get hurt quickly . Tavon is a giant compared with Atwell but that said Stafford puts that deep shot out in front of Atwell where he can go and get it.Garrett is a game wrecker this Defense is going to scary and the offense as well. Making cuts will be painful with this bunch.

Participantshould of been in before Drew Pearson who shouldn’t be in the HOF at all.
Between 2000 and 2007 and 2002-2007, no player had more yards or receptions than Torry Holt. Only Marvin Harrison had more receptions from 2000-2005.
(Holt ranked top-5 in TDs).
Statistically the best WR in his era. It's time to get Holt into the HOF.

ParticipantThe problem with Kupp that I haven’t seen mentioned is he misses games big games ,he’s missed more playoffs including a Superbowl than he’s played. How many times have you seen him messin with his knees after a play?
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantHenry Ellard 814 rec 13,777 16.9avg 65tds throw in 1527 more and 4tds returning punts
and 364 returning kickoffs giving him 15,718 total basically doubling Pearson’s output.Ellard should’ve been in before Bruce or Holt were eligible Bruce should’ve been a first ballot
HOF Holt and Megatron should’ve been in this year and Pearson should be running a camp for pushing off
and getting away with it.Eternal Ramnation
Participantreaction was not good for me . The game for a January game on the road in freaking Green Bay went much better than expected. Rams were competitive
Were Donald and Kupp healthy might have been enough 3 or 4 picks dropped and failure to get the fumble hurt the Rams. Personally I ended up throwing
out a perfectly good batch of kava I made for the game because I had a fever and needed to take pain relievers to get it down . Got tested Monday got the results Weds. I got the COVID. Pretty mild symptoms so far . I think seeing Staley and now Barry leave makes me feel worse than the virus has.Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantNo he didn’t say that yeah he’s A quarterback Ray.

ParticipantWilliams with pick 6 on a WR screen! Only a handful of players that could ever pull that off and most of them are on the 2020/21 Rams. Goff is one tough dude. As gutsy a showing as I can remember. The defense is crazy deep. Watching that game took me back to 3rd grade listening to Deacan Jones and Merlin Olsen crushing opponents. Watching this defense is like watching GSOT when they got going . It’s just different. Akers is getting better and better. Mcvay seems to be returning to his former self . Watching that game was a blast. Last but not least loved Goff’s post game comments about cigar smoking celebratory Seahawks .
Eternal Ramnation
ParticipantPresumably hand injuries and cold weather could make ball security more of an issue.
