    Last night i re-watched the Rams/Philly game from November and I searched this msg board for the reactions thread to that game…… we all posted that the Rams didn’t measure up to Philly…

    Barkley had two huge TD runs in that game..today he had three…. but the Rams measured up today…

    I thought they were gonna pull it off, but OL had brain freeze.

    Rams need a faster start to the season next year….

    Jimmy G is 2-5 all time vs Seahawks.

    McVay has revitalized cast-off back up QBs….. both Wentz and Mayfield shined in their only starts with the Rams to reboot their careers…., and if you’re splitting hairs; you can count Goff for subbing in for Wolford in Seattle at the end of the 2020 season (Jan 2021)

    BTW, McVay must’ve really been pissed at Goff to start Wolford in that game. BTW, last i’ve read…..Wolford on Jax practice squad…..

    GO RAMS!

    Yes zn…special teams delivered… Cards didn’t roll over…

    BTW Witherspoon’s TD should’ve been a touchback… the ball hit the pylon..

    Rams offense needs to wake up soon…

    RAMS defense > 10 points for 3 straight games…

    Anyway.., GO Bills, Browns, Commanders and or Vikes…

    GO RAMS!!!

    Stafford got screwed in Chicago and still put the banged up Rams in position to make it close…

    Bears defense is very good, but their offense was horrible yesterday… I could not believe how stupid that team managed the clock in the final minutes.

    That poor interim coach and QB looked like they didn’t want to be at the game yesterday…

    Stu Jackson needs to do a better job of simplifying these scenarios..

    WTF does this mean? “”””””The Bengals face the Broncos (1:30 p.m. PT Saturday, NFL Network). A Bengals win prevents a Broncos win from being added to, and therefore improving, the Seahawks’ Strength of Victory.”””

    Please validate if the following below is true and correct:

    The Rams needs the following events to happen to clinch this weekend

    Rams need to beat Cardinals
    Bengals need to beat Broncos
    Commanders need to beat Falcons
    Bills need to beat Jets
    Does the SF / Lions game matter? If so what needs to happen in this game for the Rams to clinch?
    Vikings need to beat Packers
    Browns need to beat Miami.

    I’ve read other scenarios that the SF / Lions game; the Browns / Miami are irrelevant to the Rams clinching a spot this weekend.

    BTW; Did any of you folks watch the Chicago / Seahawks game? Chicago’s offense is ridiculous and their QB stinks… how in the hell did the Rams lose to the Bears back in September by a score of 18-24?

    this game worries me… last year the Rams were in a similar situation. Travel to East Rutherford to play a lousy Giants team with Tyrod Taylor and should have lost….

    2 picks, a fumble, a 94 yard punt return for a TD… Rams go 3 and out with 2 min to play, Giants get in position for a game winning FG, but Mason Crosby thankfully missed.

    Aaron Rodgers is no Tyrod Taylor…and DaVonte Adams is no Darious Slaton.

    McVay has won huge road games in December in the past against some solid teams (Baltimore, Vikings, etc) he needs to that this week against a lesser team.

    How sweet was that??? Awesome…

    McVay’s culture can win important games on the road…

    When the rain stopped, Stafford and the offense delivered with 3 or 4 50 yard drives in the 2nd half …. while the Rams D forced Purdy to throw a lot of incompletions… and when the 49er offense finally got close.. they picked him off… they forced Deebo to play like shit….

    A lot of punts and FGs.. Special teams didn’t break, With the exception of Deebo’s last kick off return that was aided with the horse tackle.

    SF top 5 defense…

    next week the Jets…# 4 in defense with a lot of sacks… Gastineau’s recent feud with Farve might inspire them.

    GO RAMS…

    Aiyuk and McCaffrey are out, Bosa and Williams are dinged up, and Deebo is having an off-year.

    So the 49ers are favored by only 2.5 points. Go figure.

    the unsung guy for SF is Jauan Jennings… he should’ve been MVP in last year’s Super Bowl had the 49er’s won.

    He’s quietly having a decent season filling for the injuries that SF has had at the skill positions….he’s became a go to with Brock Purdy.

    Rams give up a lot of big plays and that problem resurfaced against last week vs Buffalo… Rams can’t let that happen tonight.

    Folks complain about SoFi being raided by SF fans, these are the games that if the Rams win can curb those fan invasions in the future…. 49ers are gasping and want revenge for the prior game this season that the Rams snatched from them in Week III….. the Rams have a chance to knock them to their knees tonight in their own park…… Rams need to win this game.

    Weather will be a factor tonight on Levi’s natural turf. It rained all night in San Jose, with showers scheduled throughout the day.

    GO RAMS!!!

    dozens of years ago i wrote a college paper on how import tariffs helped Harley Davidson recapture US market share in the late 80’s and beyond.

    Quick summary

    Harley Davidson; started by 2 brothers by mounting a combustible engine to a bicycle with beefy suspension in the early 1900s
    HD got big quick contracts with US Army to use these motorized bikes in combat during WWI and WWII.

    Harley Davidson bikes gained popularity in 20s and 30’s for bootleggers.

    Harley Davidson evolves in 50 and 60’s to become premier bike in the US for both image and quality.

    in the late 60’s or early 70’s Harley Davidson family sells company to AMF… (AMF, the sporting goods company that made shitty volleyballs, basketballs that were mainly used in school playgrounds and sold through retailers) This was the bike that Kelly Leak rode in the Bad News Bears in 1976…., ….. Harley Brand goes to shit under AMF

    Meanwhile, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, made reliable dirt bikes and transitioned them to very cool looking fast bikes in the late 70s and 80s through today….. (i owned a Yamaha YZ 600, it was fast and handled like a dream) for about $1500 to 2,000 bucks. …the Tom Cruise bike in Top Gun)

    Harley Davidson family buys the brand back from AMF in the late 70’s to early 80’s but can’t compete with these superior Japanese imports.

    Harley Davidsons asks the US gov’t for a protection tax on these Japanese imported bikes… and overnight, these Japanese imports double in price. This bought Harley time to retool and reimage their bikes to everyone, from yuppies, the bikers, to the casual rider and more importantly to compete on price. …and the rest is history for HD.

    in addition, I’ve been managing global pricing offerings for the past 20+ years to support hi-tech business. Transactions on cross border business have related import fees, freight, import duty, import taxes to ship products between “County A to Country B” based on commodity type. These actual incurred fees are passed on to the end use customer.

    Mac, is this true and correct?

    Offense came up huge today….

    everyone will talk about Puka’s huge TD, and Kupp’s great block on that play as well as Kupp’s TD earlier….but Atwell had some huge unsung catches to move the chains… (including on a critical 4th down)

    Since the mid 70’s the Rams seem to have these shoot outs vs AFC East teams that they would lose….. today they got one….Stafford won the shoot out duel vs Josh…

    Exciting win… let’s hope that it carries over to Thursday to end the 49ers season with a series sweep….. make it happen…

    I am enjoying the hell out of the 49ers window slamming shut.

    v

    Me, too, although I would love to hear more crying on the radio during my commute. Unfortunately, the NoCal talkers wrote the season off a week or two ago, so they’ve pretty much already moved into the Acceptance stage.

    I’ve been hoping to stick a fork in SF for the past several seasons…… but those bastards never seem to go away….John Lynch always finds tough players to field a team and Shanahan’s game plan is always solid…..

    But yes, KNBR callers have been sulking… BTW, KNBR canned Tom Tolbert… he was my favorite host on that station and he grew up a Rams fan… and deep down, I think he still is…

    Rams had won 4 of their last 5

    Today they look like a team that lost 2 of their last 3

    You’re right, they don’t measure up.

    Kyren is a fumbler

    Karty inconsistent
    Tackling is inconsistent
    Oline is inconsistent

    So is the entire NFC West… inconsistent

    The Rams can still win the division…

    RedAlice Week 10: Monday Night Football! Dolphins at Rams The 3 week winning streak has given us life … onto getting the 4th win. Dolphins are currently 2-6, but they gave the Bills some troubles last week before losing the game. Rams are only 2.5 favorites at home. Rams have played the Dolphins 14 times and have only won twice (1976 & 2001).

    The Dolphins should have beaten the Cards and the Bills. They outplayed both of them, in which case they would be 4-4 and right back in the hunt like the Rams are. Now, at 2-6, the pundits are saying their season is over, but I doubt the players feel that way. The Rams have lost to far worse Dolphin teams than this one.

    maybe “the Rams have lost to far worst teams than the Dolphins” have thus far…. but the Rams have beaten better teams than the Dolphins have……

    RAMS Wins = SF,  Vikings in Minnesota and Seahawks in Seattle)

    Miami actual Wins =  vs the power-house  Patriots and Jags…

    In addition, you can argue that the Rams should’ve won in Detroit (OT)  and in Chicago….

    Rams can’t go back to giving up big plays like they did early this season…

    The Rams dominated this game…. if you take away the last 90 seconds of each half…

    both the defense and offense WON IT in OT … all phases..

    The Rams have a really good coach and QB… the Rams are a very good team… .

    JimEverett.eth@Jim_Everett Hey, I’m a homie, but how do the zebras miss an obvious facemask in the end zone? Ramblin’ Fan@RamblinFan Gotta be objective, that was an uncalled facemask penalty. But it evens out so many non-calls roughing the QB that Matthew Stafford never got. chris long@JOEL9ONE Missed call for sure. And Darrisaw injury was a killer. But respectfulyl you were in an 8 point hole with 80 yards to go and 90 seconds. The Rams controlled the LOS offensively. They controlled the game in the 2nd half.

    Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
    The irony in this missed call: The Rams sent proposals to the competition committee in each of the last 3 years to make penalties on facemasks to QBs, blows to the head and roughing the passer reviewable. Shot down every time, and LA benefitted tonight.

    enough already…  did these folks forget Stafford’s last pass attempt in Chicago this year?  He was clobbered to the head and the facemask… Rams were only down 5 points with over a minute to play in that game….

    Fuck Kissing Cousins and his 6 point performance in the 2nd half…  he deserved to get sacked.

    Today they’re 3-4 with 10 days to rest to play in Seattle…Seahawks host Bills this Sunday.
