orlando got robbed! robbed!

anyway. goodell has shown that he clearly is not tied to the idea of the rams staying in st louis. he’s clearing the way for stan to move the team to los angeles.

we will rally around a lame duck season and play decent football.

ughhh.

goodell’s words aren’t too comforting. or maybe it’s just cuz they’re coming out of goodell’s mouth.

we need more guys like aaron donald. i think.

that’ll do a lot to improve the consistency and mental toughness of this team.

now take a guy like ogletree. tons of talent. but it was disheartening to read that he showed up unprepared at the beginning of the season. can he eventually mature and become what the rams need him to be? maybe.

but we need more donald and less ogletree on this team.

and a qb.

…

and an interior offensive line.

rob boras.

also. breer also talks about how hard it is to establish a team in los angeles. to develop loyalty among the fan base.

the rams have history there. i think it’ll be easier than most teams to relocate to los angeles. the only exception being the raiders.

it’s weird. the nfl definitely doesn’t want to give the impression that they want teams to start moving around, but they want a team in los angeles and kroenke’s plan is probably the best they’ll get in a long while. and at the same time it almost corrects a previous “wrong” in that the league never wanted the rams to move in the first place.

i think somehow. this move gets pushed through. they’ll find a way to make it happen.

intelligence to me is the ability to process information. montana’s ability to process information on a football field. the playbook and all the moving parts on the field in a matter of seconds in order to make a decision shows a lot of intelligence.

happy birthday!

yes. thanks for this board. everyone here owes you a debt of gratitude. you are a gentleman.

yeah. and how many football players take performance enhancing drugs which we don’t even know about? i mean. who knows how many players on the rams have taken performance enhancing drugs or even something as simple as altered their own playing equipment for a competitive advantage.

i’m not too bothered by it. but i sure would like to see belichick and brady squirm in their interview booths.

let’s be clear. on offense one team uses their balls exclusively. the other team uses their balls exclusively when they’re on offense.

so yeah it can create an advantage. for sure. would it have made a difference of 30 points? probably not. but it definitely makes a difference.

didn’t make a difference? i don’t know. my guess is while they still would have had a pretty impressive record over that period of time, it could have meant a difference of one or two superbowls. possibly?

anyway. as punishment they should make them play without cleats for the superbowl. and with leather helmets.

and they traded away the right to draft rgiii.

so that’s two things going for them. wonder what snead really thought about rgiii.

you say you like hundley. what do you like specifically about hundley?

working with mccarthy is what would be most appealing to me. he was also the running backs coach before moving to qbs.

i don’t know. i look for something to stand out about him but i don’t see much.

If there was ever a game where one team “lost” the game as opposed to another team “winning” it this was the one. The Packers beat up and led the Wilson led Hawks for 90% of the game. They “lost” it at the end of the game because of 3 critical plays. 1) the unfathomable lay down after the interception; 2) the failure to hold onto the onside kick; 3) the unbelievable failure of the defender to play the desperate two point pass. A different result in any ONE of those results in a Packers win.

Wilson can and should be congratulated for about 5 minutes of his play today. But he was totally outplayed by a gimpy Rogers.

Assuming the Patriots win this evening I will be shocked if they can’t beat the Hawks in the SB.

And give him the Rams and the Rams O line Wilson does not make the Rams a 13-3 team. He didn’t even do that with a far better Seattle team.

well. i bet they’re a winning team. and what qb would make the rams a 13-3 team with that oline?
