reminds me of my favorite Rolling Stones’ song from the “Some Girls” album….

interesting… the 24-24 tie game in Candlestick…. SF was also coming off a bye week for that game, Rams were “even Steven” with SF on both the scoreboard and a bye week….

Coincidentally, I just watched that game on NFL Game pass last week. (I was in attendance for that game and never watched it on TV). During the TV broadcast, they had a “game break” update to Philly, Nick Foles came in to replace an injured Michael Vick in the Philly game…… Also, as you may recall, the Rams knocked out Alex Smith to jump start Kapernick’s career in the 24-24 tie game…..

Rams should’ve won that game, Bradford won me over in that game… he played very tough…., fucking Isaiah Pead fumbled a kick-off that resulted a quick SF TD…… Amendola was robbed in OT of a 78 yard completion on an illegal formation penalty that should’ve never been called…. refs were a mess that day, game was robbed of 1:07 minutes, when the game clock was not stopped for a 1st down measurement.

Missed FGs in by each team… Greg the Leg hit a potential game winner in OT that was nullified by a play clock penalty, then he missed it from 5 yards deeper……

despite the frustration….That was one of my favorite Ram / Niner games of all time….

Dog Pound invades the dome, Gurly scores game winning TD in closing seconds, Cleveland fans get pissed then rip the seats out of the stands and heave them to the south endzone.

Rams 21
Browns 16

I’m not saying the Rams shouldn’t trade him, but there must be a reason he gets so much PT despite being a poor blocker and having bad hands.

I don’t think Cook is happy at being a TE and wants to be WR… Titans didn’t franchise tag him because Cook wanted to be tagged as a WR….

I remember the last Rams’ game at Candlestick. He was the 1st player to leave the field to the showers with at least 2 minutes left in the game. When I took my kid to see the Rams board the bus to leave the stadium, he was the 1st player to leave the stadium and boarded the bus 15 min before anyone else did.

From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Cook
St. Louis Rams[edit]

Cook signed a five-year contract with the St. Louis Rams on March 12, 2013 [2] after the Titans decided not to put a franchise tag on him at all after rejecting his request to be tagged as wide receiver, which attracts a bigger pay.[3]

In week 1, Cook recorded 141 yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 receptions in a 27-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He fumbled a possible third touchdown in the first quarter that was stripped by Tyrann Mathieu. His production slowed down for the remainder of the season, but he still finished with 51 receptions for 671 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Yup they truly suck, worst line on a whole I can remember

I beg to differ.

The injury massacred OLs of 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011 were far, far worse.

Not only were they bad, they had no hope whatsoever of getting better.

This OL at least shows in fits and starts that it is on the road to being a good one.

it’s been 8 seasons of crappy offensive line play…. but there is hope in the horizon..

I didn’t realized how bad Foles played….. 11 for 30 with 4 picks? …..

Rams finally win time of possession battle for the 1st time this season, but lose…..

I heard the play-by-play via the Packers broadcast on NFL Game Pass during the game yesterday….

Wayne Larrivee (play-by-play) radio guy for the Packers….was/is very high on this Rams team…. had positive things to say about the Rams defense throughout the game., noted many times that Gurley is going to be a great NFL back… he also mentioned that he saw all 4 of the Rams games this season and that he is very impressed with this Rams team…even when the game was out of reach for the Rams late in the 4th qtr, he kept stating this this was a “very competitive contest”…

Unfortunately, he recurring call in the 4th quarter was “The RAMS are DENIED AGAIN!”

On a side note, on NFL Game pass, i’ve been listening to the majority of the Rams games live on audio…… i’ll listen to 1 qtr of Rams football on the opponent’s radio broadcast. .. Pittsburgh, and Arizona, had total homers doing play by play, I couldn’t bear with it, thus switched back to Savard and DeMarco, but yesterday, I listed to the majority of the broadcast on Packer radio.. I missed listening to DeMarco yesterday, but this Wayne Larrivee guy is much much better than Savard.

Rams get a bye next week to prepare for some winnable games through Thanksgiving…..

huge fumble recovery by Hav… the Rams got very lucky there…… then the Rams got additional luck when Cunningham fumbled a few plays later… but was ruled not a fumble because of forward progress….. Rams dodged a bullet there in that series…..

I love watching the Rams play on the road, and even moreso when they win as road dogs….

The two teams have met each other 93 times (including 2 postseason games), with the Green Bay Packers winning 45 games and the Rams winning 46 games. They have also tied 2 times.

Packers have averaged 30 points per game in their last 3 meetings (A-Rod as QB).

Foles is 1-0 as a starter in GB, but A-Rod was hurt in that game…, Seneca Wallace was the starter, and he got knocked out in that game.

The last time the Rams won in GB was in 2006, when Marc Bulger was QB.

I love my Rams, but

GB 23
Rams 14

I liked the way the game ended. They knew we wanted to run and we ran anyway. They couldn’t stop us(Gurley).

I totally agree……the ability to kill the clock like that was huge…. an unstoppable ball control running game to seal victory….

with ball control like that, perhaps the Rams will finally win the time of possession battle soon….the Rams need to do it next week to keep the ball away from A-Rod’s hands next Sunday…..

Rams defense had chances to get the ball..

1) Big Ben’s injury, was close to a fumble.
2) Vick was stripped in the 4th qtr but got a luck bounce.
3) they had 2 or 3 chances for picks that were dropped.

I liked what I saw too…

Once Tre and Gurley get rolling, this team will be very good.

Even if the RAMS lose the next two, (I’d love to see them split the next two game or sweep the next two, but highly unlikely vs AZ and GB,) I think the NFC conference is a bit of mess with injuries (Brees, Romo, etc) and teams not really that strong (Giants, Skins, etc)

Foles is ranked 14th in QBR……

Andrew Luck is last, with a 65 QBR…..

I can’t believe Pitt is only favored by 1 this Sunday.

Steelers are 1-1 but played a decent 2nd half in vs the Pats and maybe could’ve played a decent 1st half in Foxborough if their headsets worked….

when I first saw this, I had little doubt that the coaches called this.

Yes, it was only $30 last year, but there are additional services provided…

Differences are:

1) games are available to watch after the last 1PM (Pacific)game is finished. Last year games were not available until Monday

2) All games are available via live audio. Last season they did not have radio broadcast. This is actually kind of cool, because you get DeMarco and the Rams broadcast of the game or you can pick the opponents radio broadcast

3) this year you can watch the games on Apple TV on your TV. Last year you were only allowed to watch the game on your internet device (smartphone, tablet notebook, or computer etc)

You get same other BS of condensed games, highlights, muted coaches film etc…. as last year

BNW: Jax and SF markets do not get doubleheader this weekend:

home local market team restrictions apply for doubleheader rules…

If a local franchise is playing at home (Oakland) and the broadcast is shown by the network carrying only one game (CBS), the other network (which shows the doubleheader (FOX) may only air one game in that market; either early or late (the slot which the local franchise is not playing);
