    wow, what a dick…. (Brock O)

    Brock must have been pissed for losing his starting job to Tom Savage….. Brock was lucky the Raiders had to start Cook over Carr in the playoffs… Texans Offense was terrible with Brock……..

    Tom Savage from Wiki:
    In 2016, Savage entered the Week 15 game in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars in relief of Brock Osweiler, who was benched after throwing back-to-back first half interceptions. Savage brought the team back from a 13–0 deficit and completed 23-of-36 pass attempts for 260 passing yards as he led the Texans to a 21–20 comeback win.

    Savage was named the starting quarterback for the week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He completed 18-of-29 passes for 176 yards in the 12-10 win against the Bengals, clinching the AFC South title for the Texans. In Week 17, Savage left the game in the second quarter with an apparent concussion but later returned to the game for one play; which was a kneeldown at the end of the second quarter. During halftime, he was re-evaluated for a concussion and ruled out for the rest of the game. Due to Savage’s injury, Osweiler started the team’s Wild Card Round playoff win against the Oakland Raiders. Shortly after the game, head coach Bill O’Brien announced that Osweiler would remain the team’s starter for the Divisional round playoff game.[19] Savage then cleared concussion protocol and was Osweiler’s backup for the Divisional round playoff loss against the New England Patriots.

    $13M ..that seems like a lot of cash for a 35 year old tackle……….

    In addition, I wish Britt could’ve stayed…. Rams need a big strong receiver.

    I think wearing blue and white pants while the jersey and helmet still have gold is sorta stupid.

    yes, this is bummer… it’s bizzaro world…

    we have a president that has no sense of integrity or honesty

    a blatant liar that has no respect for the people that just dishes out bullshit and his supporters eat it up….

    I find it hard to believe that this has happened in the USA.

    It’s in the hands of the republicans now, they have the means to stand up and challenge this bullshit…

    10:30 part of the segment on McVay’s thoughts on Goff was cool.

    I hope McVay can lead, both the coach and QB are young and don’t have much seasoning….

    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…..

    Either way, Atlanta never had to be a clutch team all season. They were always front runners.
    You;re not in clutch situations if your offense is outscoring teams by that margin all season. In fact there was only 1 game all year where the Falcons had to win the game coming from behind and that was against Green Bay’s mediocre defense. Yesterday in contrast Ryan was put in a clutch situation against a very good defense.

    So I blame LaFleur for coaching the Falcons to be season-long frontrunners who never learned how to play in clutch time.

    Sort of like the 2001 Rams…. …..ironically, one of the tightest games that the Rams actually won during the 2001 regular season was in New England…….the other 3 close games, the Rams lost to the Bucs, Saints and ultimately the Pats in the SB…

    It’s a special skill to manage a game to win during crunch time…..Belichick does that very very well…..

    All i know is, what was going on, on that field, was NOT
    the kind of football that goes on when i watch the Rams.

    Atlanta and New England play Pro Football.

    What exactly do the Rams play?

    w
    v

    ATL was 1 for 8 on 3rd down conversions.
    Penalized 9 times.
    4 penalties resulted NE 1st downs.
    relinquish lead in the 2nd half without scoring…

    That’s pretty fucking close to Rams football……

    And frankly I don’t buy this idea that he’s just a naive conduit for Bannon. Trump knew exactly what he was choosing in Bannon and there is no other candidate for office last year, in the primaries or since, who would give a Bannon the time of day.

    I’m not sure that Trump picked Bannon. I think Bannon jumped from the Cruz / Fiorina sinking ship to bail out Trump’s campaign….

    I think Bannon’s seat on Trump’s team was picked at the time that Bannon’s investment team bailed out Trump’s campaign… in otherwords, the deal with the devil was made at that time….

    The lies fly out of the White House like flocks of pigeons: Donald Trump’s election victory was a landslide. He had the largest inauguration crowds in American history. Three million to 5 million undocumented immigrants voted illegally. Climate change is a hoax. Vaccines cause autism. Immigrants are carriers of “[t]remendous infectious disease.” The election was rigged—until it wasn’t. We don’t know “who really knocked down” the World Trade Center. Torture works. Mexico will pay for the wall. Conspiracy theories are fact. Scientific facts are conspiracies. America will be great again.

    Our new president, a 70-year-old with orange-tinted skin and hair that Penn Jillette has likened to “cotton candy made of piss,” is, as Trump often reminds us, “very good looking.” He has almost no intellectual accomplishments—he knows little of history, politics, law, philosophy, art or governance—but insists “[m]y IQ is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.” And the mediocrities and half-wits he has installed in his Cabinet have “by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever assembled.”

    THIS IS FUCKED UP MAN!!!!

    1985 Rams defense ranked 4th.

    Tied for #1 with Bears on average yards per play that season (4.4 yards per play)

    Ironically, Kevin Greene left LA because Knox switch back to 4-3 based D and went to Pitt to play 3-4.

    Pats favored by 3. I’m very surprised that number is that low. I expect that number to grow to 5 or 6.

    Folks are comparing the ATL to the GSOT… 1999 GSOT defense was ranked 4th. 2001 it was ranked 7th…

    ATL D is ranked 27…..

    NE D is ranked 1

    BTW, GSOT 2000 defense was dead last, so much for MAX Q….

    Regarding color combo in the SB, the last 3 SB’s have been ugly

    SEA VS DEN = UGLY
    SEA VS NE = UGLY
    DEN VS CAR = UGLY
    NE VS ATL = NOT AS UGLY.

    Too bad the ATL dumped the Tommy Nobis red helmets. I liked those old Gritz Blitz ATL helmets….

    the past few years, the Rams lost games that were winnable with better game day management, discipline and execution.

    In 2016, Bills, Detroit, Panthers, Dolphins… all games that should’ve been in the win column….

    It happened in 2015 vs Vikes, GB, Pitt, and SF

    The Rams need to learn how to win those close games…

    10-6 is attainable in 2017

    Faulk has a good eye for coaches. You know why he retired before the 2006 season? Because he had some dealings with Linehan and didn’t think he was ready to be a leader.

    I didn’t realize that. Faulk is cool, I couldn’t stand Scott Linehan either….

    We’re way overdue for a good program, I think McVay can do it.

    Is this the pardon thread?

    Obama pardons Stretch and Duke…

    Willie Mac one of my first childhood idols… I love Willie.

    URL = http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/01/17/willie-mccovey-among-those-pardoned-by-obama/

    Former Giants star Willie McCovey was pardoned by President Obama on Tuesday.

    McCovey and fellow Hall of Famer Duke Snider pleaded guilty to tax fraud in July of 1995 for not reporting income earned from signing autographs and appearing at sports memorabilia shows.

    McCovey had pleaded guilty to not listing about $70,000 in income from 1988-90. He was paid $33,000 in cash at a 1989 Atlantic City memorabilia show.

    McCovey was one of 64 people who received pardons from Obama on Tuesday.

    Snider died in 2011.
