and to think. their best player hasn’t even suited up yet.

this is why i feel better about this win than other wins in the past. in the last several years we’d see this team get some impressive wins. they’d even string together some pretty impressive runs. but then the inevitable letdown would happen, and the team couldn’t sustain it over a full season to make a run at the playoffs.

but yesterday. i saw several incredible throws from goff that i hadn’t seen previously from other rams qbs, and that’s what makes me think this time is different. was goff perfect? no. but at the same time, i’ve seen flashes and it gives me hope that this time will be different.

it just increases the margin for error so that in games where it isn’t a blowout. his ability to throw strikes will give this team the edge it didn’t have before.

as poorly as gurley ran, he still had 96 total yards.

of course this was as shitty a defense as you’ll find in the nfl.

yeah. i’m just not sure about him at this point. i feel like more than several times he just lowered his head and didn’t even look where he was running when he could have easily bounced it outside.

of course later on he did bounce some runs outside only for an olineman or a tight end to get called for holding. so. who knows?

greatest. ever.

gotta stop the penalties. gotta get better at running the ball. also. washington has a legit qb playing and some legit receivers to throw to. i just read that reed might have a broken toe though. still. maybe donald should be available next week.

it’s the colts, so we should take a step back and realize that.

but still. this offense can get better. goff is going to. hopefully now. make strides. hopefully. you’d expect. and he’s not always going to look like he did today. but you expect him to make strides. and he’ll continue to gain chemistry with his receivers. so i’m satisfied. for now.

sonofbum! went against a scrub for a qb. but you can only play who’s in front of you. and they got 2 turnovers for touchdowns. and they’re still waiting for the best defensive player in the world to come back. so. i’m satisfied.

keep him out week 2. make sure he’s ready.

i don’t think washington will be much good anyway. depending of course on how the offense looks.

Conversely, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. showed up for training camp — and nearly suffered a season-ending injury during a preseason game. Ditto for Raiders pass rusher Khalil Mack, who emerged from August with a knee injury that caused him to miss a practice in the week preceding the season-opening game.

yup. and why i would never begrudge donald for not showing up to camp. i don’t understand all the animosity being directed towards him.

hopefully the rams and donald can come up with an agreement and he can be a ram for a long time. but donald doesn’t owe anybody anything.

Well, good. I am not upset with Donald or the Rams. I am glad the drama is over. Hopefully they can reach an agreement, sooner better than later.

yeah i don’t see much reason to get upset about this.

shoot in a way it could be a good thing and donald doesn’t suffer through the abuse of a 16 game schedule. i think playoffs were a long shot anyway.

be safe, mac. and anyone else who might be out there.

if cooper kupp is your fourth receiver, you’re pretty deep at that position. not sure how long that’s gonna last.

i’m worried about the tight end position especially considering how much mcvay uses tight ends. i’m thinking the wide receivers see a lot of time at least for the time being.

this is the best wr corps the rams have had in i don’t even know how long. just need the oline to stay healthy. and need goff to learn this offense fast!

i essentially agree with what waldman says, but lately when i read his articles i hear this loud ringing in my head.

johnny mundt. oregon. had a reputation as a good blocker hist first three years. was having a good senior year then injured his knee.

lots of good players got cut. that’s good for the rams.

i have no idea. i don’t think we can take too much from the charger game. i don’t think we can take too much from the raider game either.

i think i’ll have a better idea after the first four games. and i think i’ll know by the end of the season.

i think the physical skills are there. that’s why he was picked number one overall. i’m just not sure about the mental part.
