joemadParticipantwas there any doubt???
Rams could easily be 4-0…. or easily be 1-3
you nailed it ZN, they never lost confidence.
joemadParticipantAt this point in the season, 2-2 is a lot better than being 1-3 … Rams need this one.
Pete Prisco thinks they’ll win despite the short travel week…
Pete Prisco @ CBS:
The Rams are playing consecutive road games and this one is on a short week. The Colts are back home after two victories on the road, including an upset of the Ravens last week. Anthony Richardson should be back at quarterback this week for Indy. This will be a close low-scoring game, but in the end I think Matt Stafford will make a big play to win it.
Pick: Rams 20, Colts 17
joemadParticipantYou got to convert those early red zone opportunities…you need to run the ball
Rams went into panic mode way too early. Only down 7 points with 10 min left in the game and they gave up on the run.
13 total rushing attempts. Stafford was clearly struggling, please run the ball….
I wonder why they gave up on the run so early? I think only 2 or 3 carry’s in the 4th qtr
Rams offense played stupid today. That OSK was stupid too…

They got the short end of the stick when it comes to professional sports team owners.Spanos was too cheap to build his own stadium so he left SD behind to be a renter in LA.
Now Seidler approves the uniforms from pastel hell. Those colors wouldn’t even work in Miami.””””””
At least SD went back to their UPS brown and yellow uniforms as their standard. I like those….
BTW California Angels should go back to the Bobby Grich navy blues and dump the red and white.
joemadParticipanti watched this game in its entirety this past summer. I watched a lot of Anaheim Rams football on YouTube during Covid lockdown.
Jack Buck stated that “these passes are greater than terrible” on one of Dieter’s incompletions. I’ve never heard of a statement like that.
Rams defense dominated in this game… first time Dallas was shut out in a playoff game.

September 21, 2023 at 5:56 pm in reply to: setting up the Bengals game (us, reporters, tweets, etc.) #145556joemadParticipantZooey, those MLB city connect unis are ugly for most teams… The SF Giants versions sucks almost as bad as SDs…. but The Giants are 21-8 when they wear those butt ugly uniforms…. Mariners and Pittsburgh have nice looking City Connect uniforms…. The Dodgers played it safe and look like their old Vero Beach unis.
Regarding the Bengals… who do you think Andrew Whitworth will be rooting for?
Rams by 17 on Monday Night.
joemadParticipantGame turned a bit when Joe Noteboom got hurt.
McVay has to challenge that potential Deebo fumble in the 4th qtr… Even Dean Blandino suggested challenging the play…
2nd week in a row that Van Jefferson dropped a huge pass. I’m getting tired of his inconsistency.
2nd week in a row where McVay elected to kick a meaningless FG to end the game… I guess he wanted the Rams to cover this week.
Rams had their chances….
joemadParticipantCameron DaSilva@camdasilva– Bosa: 6.5 sacks in last 5 vs. Rams – McCaffrey: 291 yards rushing, 225 yards receiving, 4 TDs in 3 games vs. Rams – Deebo: 532 yards receiving, 149 yards rushing, 6 TDs in last 6 vs. Rams Those 3 are a problem for LA this weektoo bad that the Rams couldn’t seal a trade deal for McCaffrey last year. He’s been a big help for SF and for Brock Purdy…..
Brock Purdy is a very good nimble accurate QB and is 6-0 when he completes a game.
Rams need to pressure him early and hard.
Stafford was great last week in Seattle; he had time to throw. Need to keep that SF DL off his back this Sunday. As great as the Rams looked last week in Seattle, SF killed Seattle last year in the playoffs and laid 41 points on them.
joemadParticipantPreseason don’t mean jack…
68% 3rd down conversion rate is GSOT
Total 2nd half domination
sweet win!
another road game next week in LA …..bring on SF
joemadParticipantThe @Lions just dropped the curtain on Aaron Rodgers career in Green Bay and ruined the Chiefs banner raising night by handing Patrick Mahomes the first-season opening loss of his life in back-to-back games. pic.twitter.com/JaGrDzaqCD

joemadParticipantKupp is out in week 1
it wasn’t long ago when the Rams had depth at WR.
Kupp, Woods, Cooks, Josh Reynolds, etc…..
Now it’s time for Van Jefferson, Skowronek to step up…. … Tutu and Puka need to grow up fast.
joemadParticipantOther than AD , the Rams have a no name defense.
kicker.. Robbie Gould is still unsigned
joemadParticipantDotson was the physical guard they wanted but the inconsistency ultimately was his biggest issue. Dotson committed 12 penalties a year ago including four false starts and four holding calls that frustrated Pittsburgh.
I’ll take it…. … last year the OL also committed penalties without being physical.
Stafford was sacked 29 times in 9 games last year… (over 3 sacks per game)
joemadParticipantJourdan Rodrique…. writes good articles
i don’t sit and watch preseason games in great detail like Mike Franke did, but this Rivers guy has caught my attention the past 2 weeks. 4.7 and 5 yards per carry. I also read that this guy won 1/2 a million with a lucky poker hand.
Should be mentioned: Third-string running back Ronnie Rivers followed an impressive first preseason game with another strong performance against the Raiders. Rivers cleaved out runs of six, seven and six yards on the Rams’ opening drive and many times when he was substituted, the run game seemed to stall. It’s still unknown whether the Rams will keep three or four running backs on their 53-man roster, and rookie Zach Evans has draft pick status. But Rivers will not go quietly, nor should he.
joemadParticipantshould be interesting.
Hurricane Hilary is expected to hit So Cal on late Saturday or Sunday.
California hasn’t experienced a tropical storm like this since 1978.
joemadParticipantEastman clerked for that venal Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas…. those think tanks are all intertwined, and they got people in key places to implement their diabolical plans…..
right-wing tanks are good at execution.
let’s hope that the Jan 6th court cases expose all this fraud.
joemadParticipantwe were in Lahaina for the week before the fire…. we left Lahaina the Sunday before the town went up in flames on Tuesday…. we have visited that town few times on prior vacations….
my kid is fire inspector for a local Fire Dept in California. he noted the wind and dry conditions in that area while we were there…… the hurricane was approximately 650 miles south of Hawaii, thus parts of the island had windy conditions…, other parts were very calm including Lahaina. the winds got stronger after we left, even though the hurricane had moved farther away ( 800 miles ) at the time of the fire. the wind path must’ve changed and focused on the western part of Maui to stoke the fire.
very sad to see that town burn… a very special place for us…..
joemadParticipantinteresting. .. The Clairmont Institute was founded by four students, who attended Clairmont College’s Poli Sci classes, taught by Emeritus professor Harry V. Jaffa, who was on Barry Goldwater’s staff in the 1960s. The article states that the Clairmont Institute is not affiliated with Clairmont College, but in essence, it is. It was spawned at Clairmont College.
BTW, John Eastman, the guy who orchestrated the idea of the Jan 6 coup by rejecting the Electoral College vote was the Dean of Law at Chapman University.
These So Cal / Orange County schools have administrations with this ideology. My middle kid recently graduated from Chapman and my niece graduated from Harvey Mudd (Clairmont School).
I kept complaining to Chapman as to what took them so long to dump Eastman. I wanted my tuition money back; the Dean of Law is a fucking fraud, and that’s who’s running these colleges. Eastman shouldn’t be teaching law anywhere and he was the Dean of Law… that fucker shouldn’t be teaching anywhere and should be thrown in prison.
joemadParticipantThat was a great segment
joemadParticipantI’m worried about the defense…
7 of the 8 top tacklers for LA in 2022 are no longer playing for the Rams defense.
A lot of good tacklers on this list that the Rams need to replace.
Wagner 81 solo 140 combo
Ramsey 53 solo 88 combo
Rapp 58 solo 92 combo
Nick Scott 56 solo 86 combo
Leonard Floyd 31 solo 59 Combo…
That’s a big gap to fill…… Raheem better have some good tackling drills this summer.
Trivia, the Rams kept 1 of their top 8 tacklers from 2022… Name that player… and it ain’t AD.
joemadParticipantMost career games with 300+ passing yards in the regular season… Drew Brees – 123 Tom Brady – 113 Peyton Manning – 93 Matt Ryan – 76 Phillip Rivers – 73 Aaron Rodgers – 69 Ben Roethlisberger – 68 Dan Marino – 63 Brett Favre – 62 Matthew Stafford – 57
All Super Bowl champs, with the exception of Matt Ryan, Rivers and Marino….
Matt Ryan had it, ATL blew a 28-3 lead midway through the 3rd qtr.
joemadParticipant1999 Rams
- 3rd down conversion rate = 47% (46.9%) highest in NFL
- 3rd down attempts = 194….. 2nd lowest in the league, that means they were moving the chains before getting t0 3rd down.
- scored points on 40% (39.9%) of their drives
- 60 punts the entire season, (least amount in NFL)

July 12, 2023 at 1:18 pm in reply to: top 5 Rams clutch passes of all time (that I saw live at the time) #144569joemadParticipantMayfield’s game winning drive was the high point of last season.
I knew the Rams had little chance to keep Baker, but I wish that he was on roster this season.
Rams need QB depth. I hope Bennett can provide that. 25-year-old rookie.
joemadParticipant"Before his option bonus was kicking in the Rams attempted with a lot of effort to move Matthew Stafford..

July 7, 2023 at 2:11 pm in reply to: top 5 Rams clutch passes of all time (that I saw live at the time) #144542joemadParticipantin addition to your great clutch plays…..
more clutch pass plays to remember……
Everett to Flipper running through the tunnel in New York for the OT playoff win in 1989
Hekker to Sam Shields in 2018 NFC Championship .. it was the Rams 1st, 1st down of the game and in happened in the 2nd qtr. Pivotal point in that game….The Rams were unraveling up until that gutsy call.
Goff to Everett 40 yard go-ahead TD of the KC MNF thriller; it was the 103rd point scored of that game. …. I think a lot of people became Rams fans that evening while thousands of acres in California was on fire.
Dec 2021….. Stafford to OBJ in Baltimore to convert a 4th down that set up a game winning TD to OBJ….. That game was one of my all time favorite regular season games.
Stafford to Kupp in the Tampa Bay 2021 divisional playoff to set up a Matt Gay game winning FG to deny a Brady comeback….. SWEET!!!!
Regarding the 1979 Cowboy game. Ferragamo to Ron Smith right before halftime was pretty remarkable……
The pass that never was…. Sam Bradford to Danny Amendola in the SF overtime 24-24 tie… Jim Harbaugh gets in ref’s ear to drop a late flag to reverse the call in OT.
GO RAMS!!!!!
joemadParticipantNot so sure I agree. Coming from behind against SF in the NFC game, in the 4th quarter Stafford went 14 of 17 for 121 yds. for 3 scores including a TD. They scored on all 3 4th quarter possessions. That’s against the NFL’s 3rd ranked defense that year.
Thank goodness the SF safety J Tart dropped a sure pick in the 4th qtr of the NFC Championship.
Dec 2021 vs Vikes. 46 passer rating with 3 picks…. no pick 6’s that day, but very close as the 2nd int was returned to the 2 yard line that resulted in a Vikes TD.
1 week later in Baltimore, 2 ints and a fumble.
BTW, both those games were great road wins in spite of the elite play of #9.
I like Stafford, but OBJ and the defense was a big part of the SB run.
joemadParticipantStafford needs someone like OBJ in addition to Kupp.
The Rams won huge games down the stretch in Dec of the Super Bowl run (in Minnesota and in Baltimore) in spite of Stafford’s poor play.
It was OBJ and the defense, certainly not elite play from Stafford during that stretch.
joemadParticipantthe first question I asked my ChatGPT app was …. “how many games will the Los Angeles Rams win in 2023?
it generated reasons why it could not provide me with a prediction. “it’s best to follow the latest updates and predictions from sports analysts for the most accurate information”….
I think I need to feed my CHATGPT with some Jack P Miller data….
joemadParticipantdamn Zooey, you’re competing with Cargil, we’re gonna have to start calling you Oliver Douglass….. that’s a huge garden… only thing missing is a cannabis section… very cool that you and your wife have an on-going cycle of heirlooms from seed.
this season I have:
5 tomato varieties, 2 of these are heirlooms from seed. (granny green and something else)
7 bell pepper varieties
3 hot pepper varieties (no habaneros)
2 zucchinis
we’re always seeding some Booker T and the MGs , (Green Onions) to have throughout the summer.
Herbs; Been propagating rosemary, basil, and always seeding Italian parsley to have year-round.
Billy: we have hard clay soil in the Santa Clara valley, which is great for fruit trees, but it needs amendments to support vegetable gardens. Every couple of years I get 1/2 cubic yard of a veridis soil mix from the local landscape supply center.
I also have a mulch pile in the same spot for the past 18 years to help amend the soil.
Speaking of fruit trees, we got plums, nectarines (which i cloned 2 of them) lime, lemon, valencia oranges, which is great for juice.
Happy growing!
joemadParticipantZooey, what are you growing in the garden while listening to the radio?
Thanks goodness for the rains this past year…. I haven’t grown any veggies the past two seasons…. this year i have a nice plot growing.
BTW: Giants in LA this weekend.
