Yes zn… gritty win

Fifth straight road win…

The Cards are next

GO RAMS…

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…

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?

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…

sorry i misunderstood….yes, Miami has had the Rams number….   I have never liked Miami….

ONE! HUNDRED! AND! THREE! YARDS TO THE HOUSE!

Yes, that was cool…. Puka and Kupp… huge! Team looked different…

6 days ago they were 1-4…

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

Fuck the Raiders.

I seen the Rams lose twice in Oakland…  2010 with Sam Bradford and 1997 with Tony Banks.

URL = Through The Years: Raiders vs. Rams

Raiders lead series 8-7, but the Rams have won 5 of the last 6 games vs the Raiders…. including the 2022 prime time game that revived Baker Mayfield’s career….

GO RAMS

Rams are next to last in average yards allowed (385)… Colts are last with 399

Rams are next to last in TD’s allowed (14)…..Panthers have allowed 15.

Rams last against the pass

the Rams defense sucks

Rams red zone offense is much different without Kupp, Puka and Higby..

Shula’s defense bends and breaks again, but they came up big in that last two bear drives of the 4th.

Stafford got head slapped on his pick…. that’s a 15 yarder in most cases… I wanted to see a game winning drive.

I’m surprised that the Rams continued to play Stafford in the 4th.

Arizona was way overdue to beat the Rams in Phoenix.

3rd straight “road game” next week at SoFi vs 49ers… .. SF will be wearing their home reds next week in LA.

“You Don’t Know Bo”   the ESPN 30 for 30 is excellent and a must see.

it’s a shame that he got his hip ball socket ripped against the Bengals…  he was a phenomenal athlete with a high level of skill to play baseball and football.

just curious… which local channel in your area was showing the Rams game? Was it a CW affiliate? I’m asking because when the Rams first moved back from STL to LA, a local independent station KRON4 in SF (now a CW affiliate) was showing Rams programming in 2016 on Friday evenings. Perhaps Kronke was trying to stake claim or draw interest in California markets outside of So Cal. BTW, last year the CW network took over the broadcast of the long running HBO series, Inside the NFL.

Interesting…  perhaps the Spanos Charger clan still has ties to Stockton, CA…  he went to UOP….

but I think the CW Network filled in programming hours across their affiliates to broadcast the game…..   Damn, i could’ve pointed my antenna to Monterey, CA
