    I thought Dak had the most yards, but i could be wrong. I know its close.

    dak only had 70 yards today to stafford’s 200 plus yards. he had a 34 yard lead going into this weekend. i think.

    i don’t know if dak got injured, but they pulled him.

    very close to getting the triple crown. finishes second in passer rating i think but first in yards and touchdowns.

    that’s a bummer. i’m thinking now he’s got an outside shot. we’ll see.

    Its the defense though — There’s no Aaron Donald. No Vonn Miller. No Jalen Ramsey.

    while no donald or even a ramsey a healthy lake returning should help the secondary. there was a huge dropoff when he went out. how much was due to his absence we’ll find out.

    Higbee always makes a difference. He’s such an under-appreciated player nationally.

    good point on higbee. higbee, puka, and hopefully a healthy adams. that’s a potent receiving trio. then sprinkle in everyone else as well as the running game. i take that offense over any other offense in the league. my main worry at this point is dotson. that one hurts.

    special teams. yikes.

    otherwise a good team but i still worry.

    stafford. i still don’t think he wins mvp. and it’s a shame. but maybe. he could. it’s him or maye, and maye ain’t exactly a household name so maybe stafford is the sentimental favorite?

    Just as a general rule, OL coaches stay as OL coaches. They tend to become head coaches at a far lesser rate than OCs and DCs, and very rarely become OCs themselves.

    well. hopefully he doesn’t. and also. they should make him the highest paid oline coach in the league. if he really does want to remain an oline coach.

    This regime, with Wendell as the OL coach, has an advantage we have not seen for decades.

    i don’t know what his aspirations are. if he wants to eventually be an offensive coordinator or more. i do know that he’s from this area. so i imagine he’s motivated to stay here if he only wants to be an oline coach. if i’m the rams i’m doing everything i can to keep him here.

    i’m happy that they finally re-signed a safety. i’d still like for them to draft another db in the first round this upcoming draft. i feel like that side of the team has been needing more attention.

    lake was probably the highest priority fa of 2026?

    not sure any of the others need to be re-signed.

    from la times

    The Rams signed safety Quentin Lake to a three-year contract extension that includes $25.7 million in guarantees.

    The Rams signed safety Quentin Lake to a three-year contract extension that includes $25.7 million in guarantees.
    Lake, a 2022 sixth-round UCLA pick and current team captain, recently underwent elbow surgery but is expected to return for the playoffs.

    The deal marks a departure for the Rams, who rarely extend drafted safeties under coach Sean McVay.
    The Rams moved to keep one of their core players with them for the future, signing safety Quentin Lake to a three-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday.

    The deal includes $25.7 million in guarantees, said a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because the terms were not announced.

    “I’m so thankful to be part of such an amazing organization and I can’t wait to see you guys in the playoffs and for many years to come,” Lake said in a video posted to social media.

    Lake is the second defensive player to receive an extension this season, joining linebacker Nate Landman, who in November signed a three-year deal that includes more than $15 million in guarantees.

    Lake, a 2022 sixth-round draft pick from UCLA, was in the final year of his rookie contract. He has been sidelined for six games because of an elbow injury he suffered against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 16. He required surgery and landed on injured reserve, but his window to return to the roster is expected to be opened Thursday.

    Lake has been a team captain for the last two seasons, and is a key player for a Rams team that is 11-5 entering Sunday’s season finale against the Arizona Cardinals at SoFi Stadium.

    Lake has played in 10 games this season and has one interception. Last season, he was on track to take every defensive snap until coaches decided to rest starters for the playoffs.

    The decision to extend Lake is a departure for an organization that during coach Sean McVay’s tenure has typically opted not to sign drafted safeties to extensions.

    ok. i’m just gonna say it. the best non-catch i’ve ever seen anywhere.

    if puka had caught that ball at the end of the game, that woulda been hands down the best catch i have ever seen a rams wr make.

    i mean it just slipped out maybe a cm??? out of his hands. for maybe a millisecond??? a cm away from snagging a ball one handed with a defender draped on his arm. while dragging his feet and stretched out on the sidelines. that was crazy.

    Robinson had almost 200 yards. Panthers put up 31 on the Rams. Lions 34. Seahawks 38.

    i do have one reason for hope. if lake can come back healthy. not sure where the tweet is, but there was a stat showing the defensive performance pre lake and post lake injury. if lake comes back healthy, i think the rams defense could start to perform much better.

    1st half reaction: on the OL they’re missing Jackson, Dotson, and Hav.

    i don’t include hav in that conversation. mcclendon has probably played better than hav. but losing alaric and dotson was too much to overcome. that’s 2/5 of the starting lineup.

    stafford is not going to win the mvp this year. not even sure he plays next week.

    that last second nacua catch that wasn’t a catch was amazing. tutu should have gotten a pi call. stafford missed smith on a wide open most likely game winner.

    i think drake maye wins mvp. he’s now ahead of stafford in qb rating. just slightly. stafford is gonna have to play lights out with a less than healthy oline.

    and if rams can win out. and niners beat seahawks. maybe he’s got an outside chance.

    The Rams expect to open Quentin Lake’s practice window next week.

    Rams defense EPA per play rankings with/without Lake:
    Rush: 3rd with, 20th without
    Dropback: 3rd with, 11th without

    rams need him back healthy.

    that’s a nice graphic there. the only weakness he has is tds. my guess is he has to improve in the red zone. maybe davante adams can give him some pointers.

    What does it Philip Rivers’ success after a 5-year layoff say about the league’s QB development process? How can a 44-year old throw for nearly 300 yards after sitting on the couch when so many young QBs struggle? Sounds like an off-season project for NFL front offices..

    also why i hope stafford remains with the rams until his 40s.

    At age 37, Stafford leads the NFL in passing yards (4,179), touchdown passes (40) and passer rating (112.1) for the 11-4 Rams.

    yeah. if he can lead in all three categories at the end of the season, then yes, he could win mvp without winning the division. that would be a stratosphere few qbs have ever achieved.

    i still prefer they win the division of course for postseason purposes.
