One thing that really pisses me off is I just read that the Rams have had a total of one actual practice in the last two weeks! Our mini bye was spent resting players that didn’t play and players starving for reps together (mainly the entire offense) This is what happened during last season’s slide ,practice after practice being moved to a walk through and with the same results. Teams that don’t practice tackle poorly and fade in the second half on defense and and have sync\timing issues on offense (errant throws missing wide open receivers tripping over linemen drops fumbled and endless penalties bad snaps) The answer is simple practice better than your opponent.

ER’s right, W. That’s not “scholarly,” it’s the product of a dedicated right-wing think tank.

The fact that a think tank is right or left does not immunize it from a scholarly piece of work. Your response is like so many right wing responses that cast doubt on any research by left leaning scholars as simply biased because “it’s the product of a dedicated” left leaning think tank- and not to be taken seriously. Rather than look at the author’s base one might instead look at the FACTS and then argue them as opposed to the researcher’s uniform. What always gets me is the failure of the right to listen to anything the left says and the left’s unwillingness to listen to anything the right says.

First let me say that I would be the last person to judge scholarly qualification but I can read. I did read this Sanders hit piece and just like many before it I found it lacking. The Manhattan Institute’s right bias isn’t the problem the fact that their members and as WV mentioned the paper’s owner are heavily invested in the Health Insurance industry is the problem. I will be honest and say I did use a trusted cheat code. When billionaires start worrying about our collective cost my bullshit detector goes off.An example would be the Manhattan Institute is a non profit group or more accurately a tax shelter for billionaires.

Great game came up a little short. The D started out flying around but second half the old vets looking like they lost a step, Talib and Weddle don’t finish like they start.You can only get so upset with a one point loss in Seattle.Goff can definitely put the team on his back and put them in position to win but still more wtf moments than there should be. One good thing they can knock you out of that 6/1 now and that will only get better.

I disagree with Bate and Ruiz.More and more these national writers that don’t actually follow the Rams they write from a fantasy owner standpoint which isn’t relative. Ruiz doesn’t even mention that we are three games into a season in which the entire interior OL is in the first year starting. Higbee and Blythe not playing, Woods Cooks and Gurley all having uncharacteristic drops. The running game was doing next to nothing till the second half adjustment when they ran it up the middle then surprise surprise the passing game opened up. I am not saying that Goff has been perfect but he’s 3-0 including 2 3000 mile road trips against a very tough schedule so to say he’s not executing and it’s all on him,
that’s just over the top sillinous .

Specifically to Gurley it looked like they were daring the Rams to run it only rushing 3 much of the time. I will say that Gurley doesn’t look the same as he did and he has been dropping passes going back to the playoffs.

. — The Los Angeles Rams defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown through two victories this season.

Except for the 3 at CAR ?

Yup the same play

I get to go in Monday to a plant full of Vikes fans and one die-hard Saints fan. Just Monday though I’m off the rest of the week. If Cam gets his td do the Rams fold like a cheap suit ? I don’t think so but that is all I’ll hear. The D is getting good and the offense hadn’t quite clicked but they will and soon imo

About what I expected from a.first game on the road against one of the better defenses with zero starters playing at all in the preseason. If you look at the injury list after today’s games it’s hard to argue with that strategy. Gurley got stronger later in the game and that’s an effective strategy as well.The D made plays when it has to but come on stop the freaking run and cover the TE! At home with no hurricane humidity and the N.O. Babies on a short week I expect a laser focused game from these Rams next Sunday

I make sure to eat some sardines in the meal before a fast. You need those Omega 3s and just a small tin is enough to quell my seafood cravings.

Wolford Kelly Deyon Durham made it too I’m happy

I spent the off season dropping 75 lbs. About the first 40 came off eating a lot of pancakes full of gluten.I tried going meat free for a while but I just don’t do well on that diet.Maybe because I’ve spent much of my life hunting and fishing . Yes animal killer here but I hunt and fish for meat not trophies . I don’t do much of either anymore so I eat grass fed beef which is less harmful to the planet than most of corporate farming of plant based diets going on and because it’s locally produced the carbon footprint is a lot less. Whatever diet works for your body the single most beneficial thing I learned is fasting. It’s so effective it’s like magic and it’s free doesn’t cost a thing.

So they’re keeping Webster and Natson?

The first time I saw one of those uncanny perfect throws was against the Colts in ’17 . The throw zipped out like a missle till it cleared the db and just dropped right into the receivers hands just crazy! Now he’s showing otherworldly stuff just breaking camp. If this OL can solidify and everybody stays healthy we will see some truly special numbers out of Goff.

If you listen to Gurley and McVay’s post game interviews they both claim he’s healthy not one word about inflammation flaring up Gurley didn’t ask out. I guess we’ll hear about it if he gets scoped but I would think they would be on that pretty quickly now. Why wouldn’t they tell us? I had inflammation in my knee once, it was gout and it sucks, big as a basketball it was.
