    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

    Rams 14

    I was pulling for Detroit, but…….

    1) Calvin Johnson fumbled, he shouldn’t have fumbled.
    2) Even if the ball wasn’t batted by Seattle, but rolled out of bounds, it would’ve been ruled a touchback.

    a while back, On one of these Ram boards, there was a topic once that asked posters if there was 1 rule you could change, what would it be?????. I stated that it was this. I hate this rule, regardless if it was batted or not.

    If an offensive player loses a fumble on the 1 yard line and the ball rolls into the endzone then out of bounds in the endzone, the offense loses possession and the opponent gets the ball on the 20, even though the opponent never has possession of the ball…. … that’s a very suck rule… because that rule does not apply if the ball rolled out of bounds on the 1 yard line. The offense would retain the ball where the ball rolled out of bounds if it happened on the field of play with the exception of the endzone…..

    That is a suck rule.

    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…..

    I guess Brian Quick is ready…

    Ravens got a good deal 7th rounder.

    Couldn’t the Rams get at least a 7th for Pead?

    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)

    i just looked up 3rd down conversion rates……. I can’t believe there are 3 teams worse than the Rams in 3rd down conversions….(Philly, Tampa, and KC)

    Sometimes I think the Rams should punt on 3rd down…, they cannot move the friggin chains…

    I agree with a lot on this thread…
    a) Foles is not that accurate,
    b) New line and QB need to gel…
    c) when will Kendricks learn to consistently catch a friggin ball?

    I can’t recall seeing a team not capitalize on so many opportunities like the Rams blew yesterday….they had their chances to win…. but just can’t execute on fundamentals..

    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….

    I was livid with DirecTV. They’re garbage.

    You’re right GamePass has its quirks but it’s pretty stable, much much better than last year…

    I’m no longer prisoner with my TV on Sunday… I can go out get shit done while having the game on the radio… live … then come home and watch the Ram game instead of the NBC Sunday night game….

    I just finished watching the game for 2nd time this week….

    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);

    Not only does SF Market not get the Rams game. we do not get the FOX Double header (Eagles vs Cowboys)

    This is the 1st time in 18 seasons that I did not subscribe to Sunday Ticket. It took me 55 minutes to cancel my DirecTV subscription on the phone. DirecTV does not allow you to cancel service on-line or in an automated fashion. I hate them. I could not justify the total cost of over $500 bucks this season to watch games…. fuck them. I could not believe that they left me on hold for that long to cancel…

    So I ordered Game Pass for $99. You get the games live via audio (your choice of broadcast team Rams or opponent) then you can watch any NFL game for the past 4 years after the Sunday blackout time period (Sundays from 10 AM to 4:30 PM PT)

    Game Pass allows you to watch the game on Apple TV, where last year you could not on NFLReplay.

    I was out of town for this game, thus missed game chat with “TheRamsHuddle” folks, but I was able to watch most of the game live and was in a group text with some Rams buddies during the game….

    anyway, I always rip Tavon any chance I get to rib my Ram buddies… I’m not high on Tavon and they absolutely love him….

    When Seattle scored their 1st TD on the punt return, I blamed Tavon on my texts for calling fair catch on the Rams 1st possession, then the loss of yardage by Tavon on the Rams initial drive that pinned the Rams at the 1 and forced the punt…. my buddies let me have it the rest of the game….

    I understood why Tavon fair caught the ball (on the 10) but he did have space to run……ala the Colts game from a few seasons back….

    Am I a believer in Tavon? Not 100% sold, but Cignetti and Foles hav the ability to use Tavon moreso than the clip board QBs that have played the past 2 seasons……

    BTW, Jared Cook was an unsung hero in this game, big plays that moved the chains…. and Stedman Bailey was clutch…….

    BTW, where is Brian Quick?

    GO TAVON!!!!

    Moose Johnson stated after the failed 4th – 1 (paraphrasing) that he didn’t like shotgun formation runs on 4th and s… should have had QB lined up under center…..

    Ironically, on the 4th qtr game tying TD drive by Foles, the Rams ran a very similar play on 3rd – 1 with Benny Cunningham and it worked to move the chains….

    This game was an auspicious debut for OC Frank Cignetti, who in one week out-called every game of the Brian Schottenheimer Era, and probably every game of the Brian Schottenheimer Career. Bobby Wagner is very possibly the NFL’s best linebacker, but never looked more befuddled,

    I’m not dissing Brian Schottenheimer , but Cigs has a great history of explosive offenses at Fresno State…. it was refreshing to see the offense clicking, but in fairness to Brian Schotty, I’m not sure Davis, Clemmens, or Shawn Hill could execute as well as Foles did for Cigs last week in the closing minutes of the regulation and in OT….I’m still not over that Shawn Hill goal line INT in San Diego last season that eliminated the Rams last year…..

    Rams have WAC rivals (now Mountain West) in the booth helping the offense (Jeff Garcia and Frank Cignetti)

    interesting article by Thomas…

    Rams defense played pretty good… only allowed 1 TD, and three FGs…. (Foles’ fumble for a Seat TD return and Punt return were the Seattle’s other TDs….

    I think everyone is done with Pead, another critical game turning fumble…. . I agree, once Gurley starts, Pead is gone….I’m still bitter about his Kick Off return fumble in SF that resulted in the 24-24 OT tie game.

    Highest opening day passer rating since Jim Everett (Chuck Knox II era)… Rams won 31-27 vs TB that game, but finished 6-10 that season.

    Highest rating since Bradford’s 117 in DC….. Coincidentally Foles and the RAMS play in DC this week, where Foles had his lowest QB rating (40) as a pro…..

    Did you see how often Bradford got hit last night? If that continues the Rams will be giving up that 4th round pick.

    I thought Bradford looked pretty good once they started giving him time.

    Yes, Bradford looked very good in the 2nd half…..but you can’t have him throw 52 times per game……

    So the second game (Vikes/9ers) doesn’t start until 10:20pm? Does the NFL think it’s smart to exclude the eastern time zone from its programming?

    That’s OK with me……. 49ers playing on MNF opened up a TV slot for Sunday, thus FOX televised Sea at Rams on local TV in the SF area….
