The Rams offense is equivalent to the Greg Maddux of baseball… That’s a pretty good offense to prep for if compared to Maddux. BTW, I have his rookie baseball card as a Cub as well as rookie cards from that young Braves rotation that he was part of…. (Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine)> They only won one WS, it’s too bad, that team should’ve won more….

BTW, Maddux pitched over 20 years in the league.

Sean Mannion:

I think if he could break out of his shell a little bit and be more of a dynamic leader.

If he could break out of his shell a bit, I think that would be a positive. He has a very good fastball, I do think if he could develop a changeup it could benefit him

These QBs all have the skill and talent to throw a football…. it’s the mindset, touch and leadership qualities that set them apart.

Your school principal is Isaiah Robertson?

i too was bitter after Saturday’s loss… thus I didn’t give a shit about last Sunday’s games……so much so that I over extended myself and started to prep the exterior of the house for paint…. then I thought, “WTF did I get myself into???”,……what a mistake….

So, this weekend fuck painting. better to be bitter and follow football, than being bitter while filling stucco cracks and sanding trim…..

I think ATL can beat Philly.

Hoping for a miracle in New England…. i’d love see Hoyer step in for a benched Brady and lose badly, which is highly unlikely.

Pitt vs Jax will be ugly, won’t bother with that, i’ll most likely continue to prep the house during that game.

I think the Saints can win in Minnesota. that’s the game I’ll watch.

I literally just watched a 12 min highlight reel of the game and totally forgot about that 4th and 1 play on the sideline catch to woods. I log on here and saw that great catch again. It’s too bad that no one will remember that play because of the final outcome….

The Rams are a good team….they’ll be back in the playoffs next season a little more seasoned for the post season.

The Rams future, is hope. Hope is something that they haven’t had past mid October for the past 10+ seasons.

They have a team that can win regular season games on a consistent basis.

I think they’re gonna be perennially consistent with McVay, question is how many more seasons does Wade Phillips wants to do this?

Great article

Rams need to seize the opportunity tonight

Ray Lewis and Boomer Esiason picked ATL based on playoff experience

Phil Simms picked the Rams

This was on inside the NFL

I was a bit surprised that Lewis picked ATL, he’s been a big fan of Gurley and the Rams most of the year

Ficken Ay!…..Sam made all his kick attempts

LA “B team defense” got 3 turnovers

Bring on ATL

The Rams were trailing 23 to 20 in the fourth quarter on the road against a team that was fighting for their playoff lives.

The Rams drove 70 yards for a go ahead touchdown, knowing that they had a kicker that missed an extra point and FG in the game…. a kicker who has never made an NFL FG… the Rams had to score a TD

On 3rd and 6 the throw was delivered to take the lead

Later in the Qtr the rams killed 4 mins with a 9 play drive.

I say give it to Goff.

To your point if the Rams lost Sullivan Whitworth tough to win 11 but maybe not lose 12 like Fisher’s team did last year. Sure he wasn’t there to finish the season but if he’s taking the credit for this season’s roster let’s give him the credit for last season’s December loses….

But based on comments below McVay would bring “the best out of EVERYBODY” do you honestly believe Fisher did that?

To your point does McVay miss the playoffs if he inherited Bradford and SJAX and Spags D? Do you think he shores up WR by bring Britt, Tavon ?

I wonder what Vince Young is thinking today by seeing the success Foles and Case are having today. It’s no wonder that Bradford and Foles seriously considered retirement while playing for Fisher in STL.

WHAT DID FISHER DO TO SHORE UP HIS LINE????? WHAT DID HE DO TO MAKE HIS PLAYERS UP TO THEIR BEST, lead the league in penalties?

From Ram players today:

“”””I would like to say I can speak for the guys who have been here, and everything we went through,” linebacker Robert Quinn said (via the Orange County Register). “With McVay and [defensive coordinator] Wade [Phillips] leading this team, I don’t know what they did, but they just brought the best out of everybody, brought some new guys in and everybody rose up to the challenge.”

GOFF = “It’s just everything he’s done since he got here,” quarterback Jared Goff said. “From day one, it’s been so impressive. He hasn’t changed a bit. Same demeanor every day, and goes about his business the same way, and I think it rubs off on the players and rubs off on me for sure.”””””

Fisher can’t do it when facing adversity.

I usually contest statements like that. It amounts to this. The “adversity” was having to play with compromised/injured OLs and #2 caliber qbs.

Name examples of any coaches who did it when facing that particular adversity.

No one btw ever has, most likely because there aren’t any. And quite probably there aren’t any because it’s not possible to do that.

Just IMO. Join us in the chat sometime! you only have 5 more opportunities this season.

Adversity examples back up QB and linemen

2016 Dolphins Tannenhill Matt Moore QB combo behind 8 starting linemen
10 wins

2016 Broncos
Manning Osweiler 8 starting linemen SB

2016 Houston … Hoyer Weeden 8 different starting linemen 11 wins

2014 QBs Staton , Palmer,Lindley 9 different starting linemen 11-5

2012 49ers CK7 / Alex Smith behind 9 linemen in 2012 finished 11-5

1994 49ers Grbac replaced Young 11 starting linemen SB

I used to like Fisher but I got tired of the lack of discipline and penalties.

The tipping point for me was Hard Knocks. I was not impressed, the guy may have football knowledge, but he can’t implement … . He didn’t show me the he can communicate well in meetings or with people, he’s just not a good manager to lead a team to a high level of play.

BTW I really miss the forum to chat during games…

Rams Run Defense played great today

Gurley was great, both running a receiving

Kupp made a huge clutch catch, but Goff and Woods made some nice place to move chains, except on their last time possession drive

I was hoping the Rams could put the game away there, but 7:30 is a lot time to kill

Pharaoh Cooper and ST returns put Goff in some bad spots today

Hekker had his man open for 6

And that kicker, My guess is he’s gone and they get Aguayo. Not only for his misses, but he kick offs are not that good

I wonder who Jeff Fisher is rooting for?

I wonder who Chuck Knox pulled for last week?

I wonder who DV rooted for vs Philly ? Bradford Jaws and Gabriel… Eagles?

I think DV is a Rams fan
