What else? Well among other things, Arizona knew how to pick on Long.

yeah. long got spanked.

it’s cold.

also not trying to say that goff would have been this good. he would not have. not as good as stafford has been. but he would have been better than he was.

interesting. i hope they give him a chance.

One caveat: the stadium acoustics are just as loud for fans of the visiting team, and as of now, it still appears to me that Los Angeles has a higher proportion of visiting fans than anywhere else because LA was without a team for 20 years, but not without football fans.

it’s changing. in just the five years they’ve been here, i’ve seen a big change in the amount of rams fans in the city. it’s mostly older folks, so i think a large part of it is just old rams fans starting to welcome their old team back. but there are a lot of younger fans too.

and most importantly i rarely ever see chargers fans walking around.

2) Kupp. Likely his pro bowl year. Does he lead the NFL in yards right now?

he’s actually third. the two ahead of him are samuel of sf (eek!) and lockett of sea (oh no!). nfc west is tough.

9) There were notable busts in protection.

10) Um … guys … catch the football.

hopefully, it’s just a matter of knocking off the rust.

19) On McVay. Everyone on this board, everyone that has scouted D Henderson … knows he is a complimentary back. He was getting up slow in the 2nd quarter. By the 3rd quarter he was obviously gassed. We were yelling at the television. How does an entire staff miss that? He can’t play every down. Memphis is a time share school. He hasn’t played every down since high school. Now we have two healthy backs. This was avoidable.

yeah. sony and darrell should have been sharing carries from the get. i understand maybe game 1. but not game 2. and same goes for michel with darrell out. jones and/or funk should be seeing some carries next week.

some boneheaded errors. missed tackles.

i give them these 2 games because the main guys sat out all preseason. but preseason is officially over. tampa bay is next. so they gotta clean that stuff up.

kupp. could this be his breakout season? plays like a 10 year veteran. keep forgetting he’s only played 4 seasons. and one of them he missed half the season. it’s time he get some recognition.

ramsey and donald. donald and ramsey. this is a special moment in time for rams fans. players like these two don’t come around very often. we get the pleasure of seeing them both on the team we root for.

stafford looked good. still need a bigger sample size, but he looked good.

wondering right now if higbee can have the breakout season i thought he’d have last season.

tackling was bad. but it’s the first game of the season, and the starters never saw the preseason.

really glad to see rochell get reps. good to see williams and hoecht get reps too. want to see brown get some reps now.

i won’t be on the gameday chat tonight. but i will be watching the game. i’m not nervous like i used to get. but excited about this season for sure.

The 1999 Rams might have been better, but these guys in 2021 look really good.

the 99 offense was more explosive, but i really like the defensive personnel on this 21 team.

can’t wait to watch them this season. just oozing potential at all three levels.

i wonder who starts at defensive end while robinson is out. could it be hoecht???

looks like a strong roster.

glad to see hoecht and williams make the roster. i have high hopes for them.

No Michel is not as talented as Akers

and i’m not saying he is. i really don’t have an opinion one way or the other. but i do think he’s one of the more talented rbs to come to the rams in the past 3 years. definitely top 2 since gurley left.
