do they? rams just sent out emails for the wild card game. i thought they clinched the third seed?

if so, i’d sit all the starters.

i mean i hate the niners, but i also don’t want to see any injuries.

No nose tackles?

they definitely need a nose tackle. i just don’t know who’s available or who’s good.

i am desperately hoping for a huge game from quinn.

he’s already had a strong run of games here, but it’d be cool to see him top it off with a career game today.

multiple strip sacks. weekend at bernie’s!

this guy could take this team from a playoff team to a legit superbowl contender.

i’ll also say this. had bradford stayed healthy. if they hire shanahan. yeah. those could have been some good teams there.

shoot bradford, amendola, and jackson showed promise i thought. just couldn’t stay healthy.

Wouldn’t it be weird if Ogeltree made a game saving tackle on the 1 yard line?

a little weird. even weirder if they were wearing their old blue and yellows. and fisher was still coaching the rams.

so now two of their top three cbs are injured?

big challenge now is stopping that offense.

a chance for aaron donald to show why he’s the best damn player in the nfl.

his height actually helps him. that explosion. combined with that low center of gravity. guys 6’4″ and 6’5″ can’t block that.

same goes for geno atkins. he probably doesn’t have that hand eye coordination that donald does. but in terms of height and explosion. he’s right there.

he gets my vote. rams cannot let this man go.

i feel like goff has hit a wall somewhat the last few games. but i think that’s to be somewhat expected. all part of the development process.

and now especially with gz out for the rest of the season, there’s even more of an onus on him to step up his game.

interested to see how he responds.

sigh.

Don’t sleep on Robert Quinn. The Rams’ outside linebacker has six sacks over his last four games and, according to Pro Football Focus, has generated 17 quarterback pressures during that time. That’s the same amount of pressures he had through the season’s first eight games.

yeah. this is an interesting development.

the defense was already pretty good. but now quinn is actually productive? ummm… yeah. i don’t think he’ll ever be the old quinn. but a quinn at maybe 75% of his powers? i’m curious to see how the defense does these next 2 games.

i also want to say this. i have no problems with how mcvay has used todd overall. outside of the eagles game. given how he was running and how the game was going, sean absolutely shoulda rode gurley that week.

but overall he’s been almost perfect.

for me the big problem was malcolm brown being hurt. a healthy brown woulda probably meant a more balanced run/pass ratio. but mcvay is smart not to put too much on todd. he’s like what? second in the league in touches??? why would you want to give him the ball more??? as it is he’s on pace for 356 touches. i want todd fresh. not just for the playoffs. but for the coming years. i just find it annoying when people criticize mcvay for not using todd enough. he’s being used enough. the problem was the rams depth at running back fell off when brown was injured.

no. sean played it right. and hopefully, with brown back, the rams run it more. simple as.

i’m excited. donald seems excited about the possibility of staying here which was very different from the offseason.

pay him what he wants. he deserves every penny of it.

and for my money. he’d be the mvp of the league. all due respect to gurley, but donald is the best player on this team. not even close.

so disruptive. mcvay’s gotta do right by him and surround him with quality players. make this defense the best in the league. lock him up and then draft vita vea and an outside linebacker. re-sign trujo and joyner. maybe draft another cornerback or sign one.

todd gurley. what’s so refreshing is not so much his yardage totals and touchdowns. it’s the efficiency at which he is producing these numbers. he’s not getting an excessive amount of carries, and he’s become such a force in the receiving game as well. his average per carry is now up to 4.6. that’s astonishing considering he was averaging less than 4 yards per carry in the month of september. just hope he continues to develop his game. i don’t see why he wouldn’t.

aaron donald. he’s now tied a career high of 11 sacks with 2 games to go. i said in the offseason that he should get whatever he asks for. i stand by that. he’s what a face of the franchise should look like. ultra-competitive. won’t be outworked. and just a freakish athletic talent. when he gets his hands on you, it’s over. pay the man.

robert quinn. oh, brother. if this guy is back, wow. that changes everything in the offseason. now i’m not foolish enough to think that he’ll ever be completely his old self. but if he can be productive like he has been in these past 4-5 games, the rams need to keep him. i think the weight loss has done him good. less stress on the back.

andrew whitworth. i think this guy can play at a high level for the next 2 years after this season at least. they need him to.
