joemadParticipanti’m 63…. i’ve been working in high-tech sales since 1983…. i retired from HP after 34 years but i’ve been working for an electronics distributor for the past 5 years with no plans to retire soon.
BTW, GRITS once called the HP switch board looking for me to further discuss a Post Distpatch thread…. “hello can i speak to Joe Mad aka Roman Van Brocklin?”
have any of you got a call from a poster to discuss a thread?
joemadParticipantRams still have their 1st round pick from ATL (13th overall pick)
good to see them shore up the secondary with an All Pro.

joemadParticipantJeff Pearlman on Vince Ferragamo.
the “most 1979 QB ever”
This is pretty good. 23 min segment….
joemadParticipantKupp had a good 2nd half in the NFC championship game in Seattle.
But, Kupp lost a step in 2024 (and 2023) that D. Adams was able to provide the RAMS this season….
eg, the Rams lost 2 of their last 3 games vs the Lions because Kupp was missing a step
2023 season (Jan 2024) In the Rams playoff game loss to the Lions, Kupp’s longest catch was 7 yards… 27 total yards in a game that Stafford threw for 367 yards..
In 2024 the Rams opened the season in Detroit in a game that should not have gone into OT. Late in the game, the Rams were looking to kill the clock to seal victory, Kupp couldn’t execute on 3rd and 10 to kill the clock into victory formation. ….. Rams ended up punting, Lions tied the game sending the game into OT and costing the RAMS a week 1 victory and ultimately HFA… resulting in an Eagles playoff loss in the snow; Kupp = 1 catch for 29 yards in that playoff game in Philly
I remember these games when the Rams cut Kupp…i could remember McVay’s reaction on those key plays.
The Rams finally destroyed and peaked against the Lions this season because they replaced Kupp. Stafford was MVP because Kupp is gone.
Seattle didn’t win the SB because of Kupp’s 47 catches for 590 yards last year…, they won because JSN caught 119 passes for 1800 yards last season and Seattle’s defense was ranked #2 in the NFC……AND that bullshit 2-point conversion on a play that was blown dead.
More importantly, the Rams lost HFA last year, not because Kupp was cut loose for Seattle, but because of gut punching special team gaffes throughout the season.
joemadParticipantThe NFC Championship game should’ve been played in LA.
I’m still bitter about that failed 2-point conversion that was overturned in Seattle.
That play was blown dead, players were lining up for the ensuing kickoff and then the failed 2 point conversion was overturned by the league.
You can’t award 2 points on a dead play like that.
joemadParticipantClose game… … the sequences before halftime and the punt fumble killed them…..You can’t do that in close games like that…

Fucking packers blew it yesterday… could’ve hosted SF next week…
Bring on Da Bears.

WE FINALLY GET A RAMS GAME ON TV!!!
joemadParticipant“””””Kotwica, 51, is an experienced coach who’s in his first year with the Rams. He probably didn’t expect to get promoted to the lead position during Year 1 in Los Angeles but he’ll now be tasked with improving a struggling special teams unit that has directly cost the Rams two of their four wins.””””””
I think that’s two typos… ST DIRECTLY COST THREE, (NOT TWO), OF THEIR FOUR LOSSES, (NOT WINS).
ST blew it in Philly, at home vs SF, and gave it away in Seattle…
joemadParticipantRich Eisen on the 2 pt conversion
joemadParticipantWhat took them so long?
Should’ve left his ass back in Philly in

joemadParticipantNick Wright is an idiot to believe that Detroit would be SB Champs if the Stafford / Goff trade wasn’t made.
joemadParticipantRams are 2-2 vs Lions in their last 4 meetings….
In those 4 games, Goff is 3 – 1 vs Stafford.
12/2/18 Goff and the Rams beat Stafford and the Lions 30-16 coached by the Belichick DC protege Matt Patricia
10/24/21 Stafford and the Rams beat Goff’s Lions 28 – 19 ( I was at this game, Coach Campbell used all his tricks in this match up…. successful OSK and fake punt made this game close… but Jalen Ramsy picked off Goff in the endzone in the final minutes of the game to seal a Rams victory…)
1/14/2024 Goff’s Lions beat Stafford’s Rams 24-23 in the brutal Playoff game where Higby lost his knee on a dirty hit by Kerby Joseph…. this Kerby Joseph bastard plays this week after being on IR since Mid October…
9/8/24 Goff’s Lions beat Stafford’s Rams in OT… Rams had this game, but Copper Kupp couldn’t convert on a crucial 3rd down pass play late in the 4th qtr that forced a punt that resulted in a Lions game tying field goal to send the game into OT….
These games have been very close. I think the Rams blow em out this time.
December 1, 2025 at 2:10 pm in reply to: Carolina game … twitter, sports media stuff, plays etc. #159823joemadParticipantDamn… I didn’t realize that the Rams played penalty free until delay of game….
Rams Bros on this thread nailed it… take it out on the Cards next week…
joemadParticipantForbes had a bad game today.
3 different times in this game I thought Stafford was going to pull off another 4 qtr comeback.
That delay of game was huge…
9-3 is still very good, but you can’t leave 10-2 on the table like that…
joemadParticipantURL = https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-safety-trevon-moehrig-suspended-one-game-49ers-jauan-jennings
Carolina Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig was suspended one game by the NFL for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Monday night’s 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the league announced on Tuesday.
Moehrig hit 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings in the groin after a play in the fourth quarter. The NFL said Moehrig violated “Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which applies to ‘any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship,’ including, among others, ‘throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent.'”
Jennings responded with a strike to Moehrig’s face after the game’s conclusion. The NFL will review Jennings’ action for a possible fine, but only Moehrig will be suspended, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
joemadParticipantWV, I don’t think Fitzpatrick should get credit for his no-look pass on that vid, but those other no look passes were very cool….
I think Mahomes kind of made it a bit more common as he did it more frequently than Rodgers and Stafford, Kyler Murray also did it …….. no look passes have probably been around for years…
Mahomes, is like the Magic Johnson of the NFL… players in the NBA did no look passes prior to Magic, but he did it much more frequently… Also, today’s TV technology captures these passes much more than they did in the past…
Good stuff…
joemadParticipantRams beat a really good team today.
4 picks against a good QB who is having a great season with great WRs to throw to.
D played good….
BTW, I hope Punter Ethan gets a game ball……. his punt was huge.
joemadParticipant“””Super Bowl 14 took its shape from the team that lost just as much as the team that won…….. The Los Angeles Rams earned a dignity in defeat which they never achieved in victory….. The Rams won respect, but the Pittsburgh Steelers won a Championship”””

joemadParticipantSolution to the kicking game…
joemadParticipantI was in chat with JoeMad, who was on his phone live at the game. That was nice. First time that has happened.
Rams dominer-ated.
Stafford with gaudy numbers, Wms over 100 rushing.
Yes, that was cool… the chat app is simple and convenient to use.
Need to win this Sunday
joemadParticipant49ers at Texans… for the 2nd week in a row, 49ers face a team on a short week.
Aaron Rodgers facing his old team in Pittsburgh… that should be fun to watch….
3rd free Sunday in a row for Rams fans…..i know they played last Sunday, but the west coast 6:30 AM kick off last week left our Sunday wide open.
No EURO games this week for anyone in the NFL….
October 22, 2025 at 2:30 pm in reply to: around the league week 7 stuff, including games & aftermaths #158849joemadParticipantGood week VII thread…
Mahomes vs Geno……. the Raiders stink…
Broncos erase Giants lead in the 4th… Cardinals blew it against GB too…
Colts are for real… they beat the shit out of a pretty good Charger team.
Jim Otto’s Burger King….. yes, the “00” Raider shrine off hwy 80 in Auburn… IMO, The Whopper is the most underrated fast-food burger.
joemadParticipantWeird road win in Baltimore on the way to Europe…
I’ll take it.
joemadParticipantRams at Ravens is the freaking Tom Brady game of the week on FOX this Sunday.
We get DalASS at Carolina?
The Rams have yet to be on local TV for a Sunday game in the SF Bay Area this season.
Most people got Rams at Philly and we got Raiders at Wash
Rams at Tennessee we got Carolina at AZ.
PANTHERS have been on local TV more times than the Rams.
What is up with FOX, CBS and the NFL TV MAPS????
VOTE YES ON PROP 50… LET’s REDISTRICT THESE NFL TVMAPS!!
I’m sure Kronke is aware of this. Everything north of Santa Clarita is Ninerville… Rams marketing folks need to change that and get Ram games shown in most of California.
joemadParticipantI watched the Ravens too…Their defense stinks today
A lot of early shitty games
Giants / Saints is the tightest game
This is a good Sunday for yard work…
joemadParticipantBosa, Kittle, Aiyuke, Jennings, etc… they missed key impact people.
But Mac Jones is a good qb in Shanahan’s offense… this Niner offense looked like shit last week against JAX with Purdy… Mac Jones was sharp yesterday.. and he delivered with a game winning drive vs AZ 2 weeks ago…
For some reason, Shannan and Saleh know how the prep for and crack McVay.
WV, a lot of shitty regular season loses… that same 1989 year against the Bills. Everett rallies late to take lead only to lose it in the last minute.
99 against Gus Ferrelotte and the Lions.
Everrett’s first game against the Pats in 86 only to lose on a stunning Hail Mary from Tony Eason…. and in Philly 2 weeks ago… all regular season heartbreakers….
YOU REMEMBER THE LOSSES MORESO THAN THE WINS…
FUCKING RAMS! I love them!!!
joemadParticipantWV
1989 vs SF MNF
That loss was worse.
The Rams fumbled on the goal line, missed an FG, allowed two 80+ yard TD passes and blew a 17 point lead in Anaheim.
That loss cost the RAMS HFA in the 1989 playoffs resulting in the phantom sack in Candlestick that spiraled the Rams into 1990’s oblivion and off to STL.
joemadParticipantShanahan is now 11-7 vs McVay.
Rams came out flat footed…..Shanahan dominated the first half with scrubs at the skill positions that the Rams left wide open.
Rams could be undefeated if the kicking game would execute.
Better team didn’t win, but perhaps the better coaching staff did.
joemadParticipantYes, I watched it.
Cards lose for the 2nd week in a row by walk off FG
Wish the Rams did it last week.
Next Thursday Night SF at LA
