If you are going to throw on 3rd down at the end of the half, why the heck wouldn’t you run play action instead of empty set.

yeah. it was stupid.

and then the defensive collapse at the end was disappointing.

Having Stafford as your QB is like having an Aston Martin with a bad timing belt.

Good looking but lots of misfires.

i’m hoping he can get this thing turned around a little bit. i think it’s possible, but i’m worried to be honest.

defense is getting better.

michel has been huge.

if stafford can get on a little bit of a hot streak then this team could be something else in the playoffs.

There’s a HUGE difference in Stafford needing to be better and Stafford being a horrible QB.

i agree.

rams defense held the ravens to just 12 offensive points today, which will most likely land the rams d top 5 in fewest offensive points allowed thru week 17.

meanwhile staley’s chargers defense ranks 29th in offensive points allowed headed into this week.

wow.

ugly game by stafford.

they do win an important game. but is this a superbowl team?

shouldn’t be a surprise. unfortunate but had to be done.

not extremely impressed. the defense put the offense in some really good positions. felt like the offense should have scored more…

stafford putting up impressive numbers on the season. but still want to see him do it against quality competition.

well. at first i was disappointed. but comparing him to the rest of the field. he still ranks third in qb rating. he ranks first in total qbr. he also ranks fourth in ypa.

football outsiders ranks him third although it’s possible he moves up after factoring prescott’s last game.

still a long way to go but not bad.

well. i don’t pretend to know whether obj is a malcontent or not. i do know his teammates have said only positive things about him. i know guys like ramsey and miller have vouched for him.

my guess is obj’s problem was with the coaching staff and the system. well. hopefully the mcvay offense is a better fit. he’ll be seeing the touches for sure. and i’ve never heard anything negative regarding his work ethic.

if this works out. and i don’t think it’s a reach to think that it could work here. could this offense be harder to defend? i love robert, but does he demand double teams like obj potentially would?

i just hope jefferson can step up. the rams need him to step up. regardless of how good obj could be.

tyler higbee becomes more important now too. man i wish they had a second tight end. mundt going down was a big blow.

I have to change my mind. I* am really glad we signed OBJ. You blew it, DeSean.

well. if i wasn’t so sad for robert i’d be laughing.

this is just horrible. hope obj is ready cuz the rams really need him now.

best case scenario you have three starting caliber receivers lining up capable of playing multiple positions and threatening every part of the field. and then you add van jefferson in 4 wr sets.

one thing i didn’t realize and maybe i missed it here on this thread. but obj had the most targets of any receiver on the browns. which i think is both bad and good.

van jefferson on the season is getting 5.1 targets a game. obj is getting 5.7 targets a game. vj is catching 58.7% of those targets while obj is catching 50% of those targets. obj has to get that catch percentage up.

what would really excite me is if cam akers comes back which is a possibility for the playoffs. not sure how effective he’d be though. short-term or long-term.

And now they will rally around domestic-abuser Adrian Peterson.

I dont like it. Not sure the rams are tough enough for this.
We’ll see.

sigh…

this is an opportunity for bobby brown iii.

let’s get it, bobby!

i really like gaines.

i’m so excited to see von miller in this defense. so excited.

i haven’t been this excited since quinn and donald were playing together. and back then i don’t think they had a cornerback the caliber of ramsey. plus they have floyd.

and not only that jones looked really good last week. hopefully, he gets more comfortable and gets even better as the season goes on. plus i worry less about him getting tired at the end of the season since he will essentially have rested the first seven games.

and some people are overlooking the fact that gaines is quietly having a very good season.

the only thing that would make me happier is if bobby brown iii really came on in the second half of the season and into the playoffs. physically that guy has it all.

so excited.
