Sept. 10: INDIANAPOLIS, 1 p.m. PT, (Ch. 2, CBS) — The last time Colts quarterback Andrew Luck played in the Coliseum, he helped Stanford to a 56-48, triple-overtime victory over USC. Linebacker Akeem Ayers, cut by the Rams last year, plays for the Colts.
Sept. 17: WASHINGTON, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11, Fox) — New Rams coach Sean McVay, the Redskins’ former offensive coordinator, will entertain — and attempt to beat — old friends. Former Rams receiver Brian Quick signed with Washington.
Sept. 21: at San Francisco, 5:15 p.m., (NFL Network) — Jared Goff is on track to finally play in his home region after spending the 2016 opener at Levi’s Stadium inactive. McVay, at 31 the NFL’s youngest coach, goes up against the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan, 37, the second youngest.
Oct. 1: at Dallas, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) — The Rams play the Cowboys in August in their first preseason game and then travel to Jerry’s World in Week 4. Running back Lance Dunbar no doubt wants to make an impact against his old team.
Oct. 8: SEATTLE, 1, (Ch. 2) — Don’t count on a repeat of 2016, when the Rams defeated the Seahawks and a hobbled Russell Wilson at the Coliseum without scoring a touchdown. The Seahawks added running back Eddie Lacy in the offseason.
Oct. 15: at Jacksonville, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) — Will the Jaguars have drafted a quarterback to replace Blake Bortles? The Rams will probably spend a few extra days in Florida before leaving for London.
Oct. 22: vs. Arizona Cardinals at London, 10 a.m. (Ch. 11) — The Rams are 0-2 in London, including last season’s loss against the New York Giants at Twickenham Stadium. This year’s later kickoff time will make TV viewing in Los Angeles a bit easier.
Oct. 29: Off.Nov. 5: at New York Giants, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) — After last season’s trip to London, and a bye, the Rams played at home. This season, they must go across the country to play against Eli Manning, Odell Beckham Jr. and company.

Nov. 19: at Minnesota, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) —There is optimism in Rams Land, but it’s doubtful that the Rams will make more than one trip to this season’s Super Bowl site. Former Rams starting quarterback Case Keenum is a backup for Sam Bradford.
Nov. 26: NEW ORLEANS, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) —With former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams gone to Cleveland, this matchup lacks the intrigue from last season’s Williams-Sean Payton “Bountygate” reunion. Rams defensive line coach Bill Johnson came from the Saints staff.
Dec. 3: at Arizona, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — The Rams mistakenly thought they were legitimate contenders when they defeated the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium in 2016. Will McVay deliver an early Christmas present to Arizona coach Bruce Arians, a la Jeff Fisher?
Dec. 10: PHILADELPHIA, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — It’s the compare-and-contrast bowl as Rams quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, faces an Eagles team led by No. 2 pick Carson Wentz. Rams linebacker Connor Barwinfaces his most recent employer.
Dec. 17: at Seattle, 1 p.m., (Ch. 11) — At least it’s not a cold Thursday night game this year. Will cornerback Richard Sherman still be with Seahawks to revisit the tackle he made on Goff?
Dec. 24: at Tennessee, 10 a.m., (Ch. 11) —Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, the second pick in the 2015 draft, appears to be hitting his stride. The Rams not only fired Jeff Fisher, but also the roster is now void of players with Titans ties.
Dec. 31: SAN FRANCISCO, 1:15 p.m., (Ch. 11) — Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a free agent, apparently won’t be in position to beat the Rams in the final seconds at the Coliseum for a second year in a row. It shapes up as a rockin’ New Year’s Eve in L.A. with Chargers also entertaining the Raiders.

Every vote like this is going to just kill the Reps in 2018. Trust me, people are keeping track.
Waterfield Said:
Most-if not all -of my Republican friends think the DOE is just some small agency somewhere.
Zooey Said
I think people care about things that personally impact them.
1) MAC I don’t think people will keep track very long… very short memories. The majority of folks that I know that voted for Trump don’t realize or forgot how much of a mess the country was in when Obama took over, on the brink of economic depression, the US$ was in the tank, unemployment was high, if was a complete mess…… I ask people that complain about Obama, “what did Barry do in the past 8 years that affected you in a negative way?” they have no valid answer, in fact, some of these voters benefited from getting out of their foreclosures and ended up with new homes in the past 6 years and they still think democrats are bullshit….
When they tell me that they voted for Trump over HRC after Trump was the biggest ass on the campaign trail, they bring up Clinton corruption and email BS. I reply, the FBI doesn’t fuck around and will bust people as warranted, but they don’t get it. They don’t care that Trump U was a fraud, they don’t care that he went bankrupt 6 times, they don’t care that he grabbed pussy and marred a commie’s daughter… they don’t care….
2) Waterfield is right, these people think president’s cabinet is something you install in your kitchen or bathroom.. they have no friggen clue…..they think Devos wrote and sang “WHIP IT”
3) It’s gonna take a big fucking impact like the great recession of 2007… they don’t like women in charge and they don’t like minorities in charge, you can’t reason with these people, they blame ISIS in Obama and have no clue that Bush invaded the wrong country that spawned a lot of this mess.
I mean how could Bush II win a second term against Kerry?
Savage, Rush, Hannity and these right wing hacks successfully did their job and with explosion of social media, these people are getting news based on their ideals…..
These right wing voters are more loyal to the party than we are to the RAMS after 13 losing seasons…….at least we complain and are very critical about the Rams inept performances, these voters RARELY, IF EVER are critical of the people they voted for…..
