Well, actually, they only needed 43 of those points, so…

well i suppose if they only scored 43 points the bills could have gone for a 2 pt conversion to tie the game…

well they had to play an almost perfect game. no turnovers committed. blocked punt returned for a td. they did get hosed on some defensive penalties that were not penalties.

but it’s a win. defense needs to be better, but that bills offense is crazy good. allen running around is just unfair almost.

puka was amazing. up and down year because of injuries but starting to play like his old self again. kupp clutch and unselfish. even tutu made some clutch plays. oline healthy and gelling.

man they really beat the bills. it’s farging crazy.

Funny thing. I’d rather they win this game, and lose one of the others that they SHOULD win, then lose this game, and win all the others. I’d like to see them play well against one of the Tier 1 teams.

if they manage to win this game, my expectations will be going through the roof.

i’ve been up and down on this team the whole season. a win against the bills would validate my belief in the talent this organization has been building.

yes. a win against a championship caliber team would be a statement for sure.

pff week 13 – defensive player rankings
out of 374 qualifying defenders (min 30 snaps)

#1 omar speights
#12 jared verse

i’m assuming that’s just for week 13 – not the season cumulatively.

i got this marked as a loss. probably not a very controversial opinion.

but the rest of the games the rams should be able to win.

#Rams IDL Kobie Turner is leading all interior defensive lineman in stops on the season. He’s been huge in year two and I don’t think that gets talked about enough.

all interior defensive linemen in the league? or on the rams?

lots of things to like about the game.

williams.

verse.

puka handing the ball to jackson after the td.

want the rams to finish 10-7. i think they can. regardless if they make the playoffs or not.

the eagles rank #7 in offensive scoring and #3 in offensive points allowed… rams scored well against the vikings #2 defense and held up well vs the lions #1 offense.

is it safe to say that the rams offense and defense are both in a better position now than they were in those games against the vikings and lions?

Since last year, the Rams have averaged a 17.2% explosive play rate and a +0.10 EPA per play when Stafford, Kupp, Nacua and Kyren are all on the field at the same time.

That ranks… 1st in the NFL.

on the field at the same time. and a healthy oline as well.

if they could just stay healthy.

is what we’re seeing from kinchens real?

oh man. verse, fiske, and kinchens? what a defensive haul from the same year? and speights too?

that could be 6 starters from the last two rookie classes. that’s crazy. and not just starters but quality starters? i think verse, fiske, and kinchens could be stars. they just need a blue chip cornerback and another linebacker.

It’ll be interesting to see what McSnead does in the draft.   Where do they see the needs on defense.  Linebacker?  DB?

that’s what i’m thinking. blue chip cornerback and one linebacker. maybe in the lower rounds?

Sean McVay, on how the Rams’ offensive line played tonight: “But there was a lot of things that were not in alignment with what we’re looking for.”

yeah. that’s one way to put it.

i know i keep saying this, but the rams need to find a way to keep stafford. with the front office seemingly having done a good job restocking this roster with talent i’m not sure where he could go and have a better chance at winning another superbowl.

raiders, browns, giants, panthers, steelers, titans? i don’t know who else. do they really have a significantly better chance at winning than the rams? and it’s not like the rams have much of a choice either.

i don’t know. three year deal and see how far they can take this. need to draft a cb. a linebacker. maybe another offensive lineman. but i don’t think they have a ton of needs.

can they draft and develop a qb?

just to add to that.

they’ve shown they can draft and develop multiple positions.

wr – kupp, nacua, whittington.

rb – gurley (technically under fisher but snead was there), williams.

ol – avila, limmer, jackson (although he was a udfa)

dl – donald (again under snead but before mcvay), turner, fiske, verse, young.

db – williams, lake, johnson, kinchens, mccollough.

lb – jones, could speights be the latest udfa gem for the rams?

their track record is… well in 5 years time we’ll have a clearer idea of what they were able to accomplish.

but qb. that’s the one thing left.
