Eternal RamnationParticipant@lions Jack
Eternal RamnationParticipantThank you both for posting this. When Ag works his magic it makes it so easy to listen. Farr is about the most insightful guy out of all the various people doing shows. I can remember Fisher asking his advice at least once. I wish he still did the commentary on the Rams games. Nothing against MJD but I just like DeMarco’s take better.
Eternal RamnationParticipantThey’re all cocky bandwagon shitheads who were probably Raider fans this time last year.
Hmmm….a disgruntled former St.Louis fan maybe? Should be a great game.
I’m more afraid of golden retriever puppies than Goff. Little, fluffy, waggy, golden retriever puppies. Gurley will be nothing more than a receiver come the 3rd quarter.
He must have missed the last time Goff played in primetime.
November 13, 2018 at 12:34 pm in reply to: issues w/ the Mexico City game…can a game be played on that field? #93843Eternal RamnationParticipantThe NFL is a collection of billionaires they could easily completely rebuild any field anywhere in that time. They are concerned it may cost them a 1/10th of a penny.
Eternal RamnationParticipantGood win , the D is a mess. I wonder if Suh and Donald competing for sacks is resulting in their poor performance against the run? Remember when being an Lb behind this DL was supposed to be easy. Ebukam had a horrible game. He has flashed from time to time but is not the answer out there imo.I thought the dbs played well for the most part Wilson’s throws were pinpoint accurate and defeated what I thought was good coverage quite a few times
Eternal RamnationParticipantyeah pretty obvious that other teams are now targeting Peters. I guess if I am being honest if we had a pass rush worthy of multimillions the secondary wouldn’t need to be covering that great. I mean 42 points? That’s hard to take with 7 former 1st rounders getting torched . Maybe another players only meeting is in order but change is needed badly. I hate to even think it but maybe Wade is slowing down. He can still make adjustments but damn we’re a long way from the donut days and as the teams get tougher we need to stop with the conceding the first half strategy .
Eternal RamnationParticipantLindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
Marcus Peters said he got beat on the touchdown pass to Michael Thomas, and that he does not think he has played well the last few weeks. He owned it, and appeared dedicated to fixing it.Sorry but at this point Peters doesn’t get points for owning it , Wade and McVay need to own this . Think about this freaking Dom Hatfield has given up less tds than Peters.Peters waiting till he cost us a game to take ownership just salts the wound for me.Play press which you are actually good at. I know he prefers to play off coverage but he sucks at it he doesn’t have the speed or quicks to make up for the constant wandering eyes and bites on every freaking thing . Enough is enough change is needed.
Eternal RamnationParticipantPeter’s needs to go that was ridiculous
Eternal RamnationParticipantI watched the Saints at Vikes last night and what stuck with me is how emotional the Saints were. I would not be surprised to see them have a let down. To me the looked like they were too high.
October 30, 2018 at 2:10 am in reply to: breaking down plays from the PACKERS game…Waldman & others #93058Eternal RamnationParticipantGreat breakdowns as usual with Waldman. I keep forgetting to bring this up but Farr and JB both said Goff was in pain after the first sack in SF and was still dealing with soreness going into the Packer game.
Eternal RamnationParticipantIt’s cool ZN. I wish I knew how to embed the player like AG does sometimes for the Mcvay show. JB’s tweets are pretty good when I’ve seen them . I don’t know how Twitter works all that well.The show it’s self is usually pretty good. I figure it’s because JB keeps it on point with Farr where Miles and Farr waste a lot of time on their own shtick .
Eternal RamnationParticipantWell…guess where I am.
Damn….
Early Sunday drive and a cheap motel perhaps ?
Eternal RamnationParticipantSo glad you got to see the Rams in person again!Maybe you’re the guy that woke that championship defense up.Your everyones favorite poster here at the Huddle Board.
October 24, 2018 at 1:39 am in reply to: Tweets – 10/23 Austin Proel to Practice Squad … + VB Q & A #92781Eternal RamnationParticipantproehl??? not related to the one and only is he?
His son, I think
Yes Austin is Ricky’s son
Eternal RamnationParticipantWow the Rams just beat them down and finally broke them and that was with the ultra conservative play calling and pulling starters. I can’t argue with the results. I hope Kupp recovers quickly and completely as this season is going into the toughest part now. The Rams players aren’t reading their own press, staying focussed on their one game at a time philosophy. Littleton just keeps on getting better and the team as a whole doesn’t seem like it has played it’s best football yet, the just keep improving game after game.
Eternal RamnationParticipantYeah Reynolds would start for some teams on the outside but not in the slot. Pharoah is a return guy imo he’s had chances and done little with them as a slot wr same with Thomas.
Eternal RamnationParticipantwatching a bit of Raiders/Seattle
Jared Cook is really a player, turns out
statistically 2nd TE in the league in yards and receptions
but that aside he just looks good
Carr on the other hand while certainly okay has no magic in any part of his game
his is an all-muggle skill set
watching him the same game with Wilson sort of drives that home
…
Filthy mudblood. Kind of strange how 3 Raiders wrs have been injured so far. Makes you think maybe that stuff is intentional
Eternal RamnationParticipantMiami at NE and Browns at Oak should be interesting . Now that I have Gamepass app on the tv it’s difficult to watch other games when I can just watch the Rams games over and over.
Eternal RamnationParticipantof pleasing appearance; handsome.
Thanks wv I feel like I know myself now.
Eternal RamnationParticipantGoff was 26 out of 33 for 465 and 5 tds, Warner and Greene were 27 out of 34 for 465 and 5 tds but Kupp taught me a new word comfortability so there is that. I have a track record of zero decorum and I do not know what seemliness is but I did predict the Rams going to the Superbowl in July 99′.
Eternal RamnationParticipantRest of the league was busy shortly after the game changing their shorts . If the Vikes can’t stop you who can? Something about the short week messes with the Defense and the Offense goes nuts . What a fun night ! And the D notched 4 sacks including Donalds first two and JFM with the strip sack to ice the game wow. Goff is playing better than any QB out there right now I watched Mahones and got the feeling this guy has been lucky so far. Goff is a surgeon.
September 27, 2018 at 2:22 am in reply to: reporters set up Vikes game (articles, vids, tweets) & what Vikes fans R saying #91524Eternal RamnationParticipantEternal RamnationParticipantThe Vikes OL is terrible and Cousins is getting the same treatment Bradford got
Eternal RamnationParticipantAbout what I expected minus the injuries. Last year of course we had the vikes until we lost our starting corners.Goff keeps proving me correct. The DL is seriously underwhelming at this point sure they get close and force errant throws but these guys are supposed to dominate and Donald and Suh are not. The Chargers are in the bottom half of OL ratings and the big three are just not getting it done to an acceptable level considering the personnel and it’s price tag . Third game together , full week of prep up against rookies and backups noway it should’ve been that close. I love Cooks but I think Woods is probably our best pure wr.Cooks had some great blocks which surprised me pleasantly and Kupp is like Popeye Amendola after he eats his spinach , so smart and no quit , he squeezes ever last drop of effort out on every play. The Ol play was impressive and of course Gurley as he has so many times just took control of the game late.
Eternal RamnationParticipantMy reaction is pure joy. I’m all in sold on Goff. I think Donald said it best , paraphrasing of course he said they hadn’t really got going yet and when they do they’re going to be scary.That secondary already is! Talib, Peters, JJIII, Sam Shields, Christian and Robey-Coleman just freaking spectacular today.Cooks is so explosive, I really do like him in this offense way more than Watkins. He’s ballin on every play always where he’s supposed to be and never quits on routes. Woods and Kupp have different skill sets but they’re all at a higher level right now. They tried to take Gurley out of it and make Goff beat them and he went full shred on their asses.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI have to say that Goff’s blown pass to Woods was mystifying. The play before that one, he threw about as pretty a pass as a QB can. A pass that had exactly the right trajectory to hit his receiver when he was very well covered.
The next play, Woods was completely uncovered in the end zone, and Goff botched it.
He talked about it in his post game, said he apologized to Woods.

S John Johnson
Johnson’s stat line looks good with nine tackles, an interception and a pass defensed, but it was hardly representative of his play. The second-year safety really struggled on Monday night, missing tackles, getting beat by Jared Cook repeatedly and looking shaky in coverage.
Johnson was the primary defender on Cook for most of the night, and while he didn’t surrender all nine catches for 180 yards by the tight end, he was on the wrong end of many of those plays. He redeemed himself a bit by picking off Carr in the end zone, but there was more bad than good in this one.
QB Jared Goff
Like Johnson, Goff’s stat line doesn’t look terrible: 18 of 33 for 233 yards and two touchdown passes with a rating of 97.2. Not bad, right? Well, that stat line could’ve been much better, and at the same time, much worse.
He overthrew Robert Woods on a couple of occasions, while also missing Kupp in the end zone on an inaccurate throw. The pass was nearly intercepted, but it could’ve easily been a touchdown.
Also in the red zone, Goff almost handed Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie after it was tipped in the air by the former Giants defensive back, falling harmlessly to the turf. His fumble was almost a disaster after he didn’t feel the pressure from Bruce Irvin, but Rob Havenstein bailed him out by falling on the ball.
Goff simply wasn’t very accurate on passes 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, missing open receivers several times.
CB Troy Hill
Hill was a non-factor on defense, but he had an impact on special teams. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the good kind of impact. He was flagged twice on consecutive punts for holding the Raiders’ gunner, leading to 10-yard setbacks for the offense. Special teams penalties are never good and can really hurt a backup like Hill’s value.
Depth players
The Rams stuck to 11 personnel for just about the entire game, only putting Johnny Mundt and Gerald Everett on the field a couple of times. Josh Reynolds was spotted only once or twice, while Pharoh Cooper didn’t appear to get any chances at wide receiver. McVay leaned on his top playmakers, as indicated by the box score.
Tyler Higbee wasn’t targeted once, while only five players caught passes and carried the ball all night long.

This makes me wonder if the author watched the game? Goff was off in the 1st half as one would expect after not taking a single snap in preseason, both PIs Cooks drew were on accurate passes and also a few drops that looked like no preseason rust to me. I’m not sure how 6’200lbs JJIII is supposed to cover 6’5″ 254lbs that runs 4.5 but maybe bend don’t break shrink the field and shut him out of the red zone would work.Pretty obvious to me anyway that the starters that again didn’t play a snap in preseason needed the reps since the depth players were played extensively in preseason.
Eternal RamnationParticipantThere’s a trade off with Cooks , he’s a non-factor blocking for anyone but he is way more productive than Sammy was. 80 to 90 yds in PI penalties and that no fluke he did the same last year . The game was about what I expected , being in Oakland late on Monday night no tape on Gruden to study and a huge interior OL plus Lynch. Wade and McVay both made some great adjustments. Goff is much better than he gets credit for, he stays cool and doesn’t get down on himself. Those deep throws to Woods and Cooks were mighty close to being tds . Does anyone think they won’t sync up and soon ? Stafford Jimmy G Bradford and Carr all looked pretty bad in comparison. It reminded me of last years WA game , I see a lot of positive growth. Ebukam and Littleton were flying around all over the place.
Eternal RamnationParticipantRams in 1st. place already. I thought Jimmy G looked like crap but thats easy to do against the Vikes D. Still it was pretty awful 3 ints one of them being a pick six. The one shot of Bradford and a Card fan kid in the stands looking on in disbelief after a horrible int yikes!
Tavon had one rush for one yard and 2 punt returns for 15 yards total, so much for lining him
up all over the place like I heard early onEternal RamnationParticipantVikes vs 9ers + cycling between AZ vs WA Sea at Den and KC at LA for the late games basically scouting the nfc West and curious to see what Sammy Watkins does for 16 million. Oh yeah probably check in on Dal at Car to see how Tavon is doing.
