We look to the draft

it’s time they start investing heavily in defense. and by proxy special teams. defensive backs. a return specialist. maybe even make a splash in free agency. if possible.

please. just three more years. at least.

And as I said earlier, I think that throw went to Caleb’s head, and he thought he was magic at that point, and that hubris made him throw a pass where only Curl could catch it.

i hope for the same with darnold. and writing this just realized that williams and darnold are both from usc. don’t know why i didn’t realize that before.

Yeah, Ernest and Cooper Kupp both seem pretty hurt/bitter about the trades.

The downside to buying into the whole ‘family’ thing etc, and so forth. Coach may call you ‘family’ and treat you that way — but at the end of the year, you are still a piece of meat in the NFL. In a way.

if i was a head coach, i don’t know how i could deal with that side of the business. i’ve never had to do anything like that in my life, and it would wreck me if i did.

I dunno what happened with Jones, but I do not want to watch that guy get his revenge.

cooper kupp too. although i like both of them.

i do guess we know what happened with kupp. injuries.

Mina is an MVP voter. She “picked Drake Maye”.

no offense to mina. i find her to be informative and entertaining.

but she can’t possibly ever show her face at a rams preseason broadcast ever again can she?

yeah.

the weather was definitely a factor.

but you know what? if the rams can actually pull this off. if they can win the next two games. we can look back at this game as one that really tested the mettle of this team. the night the soft west coast sunny la football team came into the frozen tundra if soldier field. with the swirling whipping winds of lake michigan and gutted out a win against the bears who kept pulling off miracle after miracle.

i agree. rams should have passed it at the end there. nothing to lose. don’t give caleb another chance to pull off another comeback. if it fails, you don’t increase their chances by much. maybe it doesn’t work and they still tie the game. but if it succeeded, you almost certainly kill the chance of williams doing what he did.

it probably coulda gone either way. but in a game like this i don’t think it should be called. i’d rather it not be called. woulda felt like a cheap win if they did call it.

it was stressing me out at the time, but i much preferred it this way or rather he not caught the ball at all.

unfortunately the rams now have nearly a quarter more miles on their bodies and a day’s less worth of rest.

maybe not but it speaks to the ineptitude of some of these refs.

so true. in a game where every possession counted. williams saves the rams from a turnover.

the Rams have a 54% rushing success rate tonight, which would lead the NFL.

they have 11 rushes and 34 dropbacks

kyren had a great game. if i had one criticism. i wish he woulda tried a little harder to stay in bounds on that one rush with a little over two minutes left in the fourth quarter. but i understand the first down was more important and the defender was closing in on him hard, so it’s hard to complain too much.
