the above clip where stafford just whips the ball sidearm around the wall of linemen is unreal. just a natural thrower. i thought he was all arm strength before. and his arm is for sure a cannon, but it’s so much more than that.

When Mayfield went out though, Tampa had nuthin, and Rams took their foot off the gas.

yeah. i was hoping for another td in the second half. maybe a long drive with a lot of kyren williams ending in a decisive td. but the buccaneers’ spirit had been killed anyway. so it’s all good.

The injury bug has bitten: Sean McVay announced the Rams are placing Higbee, Havenstein and Lake all on injured reserve

i think mcclendon should be fine. i’m hoping this is an opportunity for ferguson to get more reps and step up. losing lake hurts.

After just 9 games, Matthew Stafford has already thrown more touchdown passes against the blitz than all but two quarterbacks in a season in the last decade.

His 20 such touchdown passes are nearly double the 2nd-highest total in 2025 (Jalen Hurts, 11).

so i’m guessing it’s due to two factors? one being better protection. the other being davante adams?

i wonder how many of adams’ 9 tds have been against the blitz.

or is it in part due to the 13 personnel. i’d like to see someone break that down.

rams look like they get better every week. i still am far from convinced by the kicking game. but i think that’s the only thing holding them back. that and kyren’s fumbling.

stafford looks as good as i’ve ever seen him playing for the rams. i hope he can play until he’s 40.

falcons lose again. i like morris, but rams getting a top 10 pick next year would be nice.

it’s the worst kicking game i’ve ever seen?

so bad i think it’ll prevent the rams from going deep in the playoffs.

and how do you even fix that in the middle of a season?

Todd Gurley unfortunately. He is STILL 3rd in the league in rushing touchdowns since 2015

hopefully the rams can stop shooting themselves in the foot. should win this game.

And I’m sure you’ll agree, but in the middle of all that, the Rams also made plays…it’s not like they just coasted.

oh definitely. i said before stafford off to the best start of his career since the superbowl winning season. the colts game was probably the best game he’s had so far this season. puka off to a record start. he was clutch in this game especially the first half. kyren looked strong running the ball as you said. curl had an amazing game.

lots of positives here.

stafford off to his best start since the superbowl season.

offense probably the best it’s looked so far this season. although i haven’t seen the philly game in its entirety. hopefully the offense continues to gel especially as adams gets comfortable.

incredibly lucky.

but maybe unlucky previous week?

so maybe it all evens out in the end.

played much better in the second half. if they can get through the first five games ok, i can see them making a run.

i don’t know much about football, but in the two preseason games i saw, he seemed to be very fearless and surprisingly physical.

i think the two biggest knocks on him were size and age (he’ll be 24 next month). but athletically he’s right up there.

could be the steal of the rookie class. another london fletcher?

i’m happy for him. worried that the rams would just drag it out and let him go. a joy to watch.
