joemadParticipantI wonder who Jared Goff was rooting for…. his childhood heroes or his old teammates????
Stafford delivered again.
Great trade!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!
joemadParticipantSo, does McVay go for the win with 35 seconds to play, with Jarod Goff?
I dunno, but even if he does, I doubt Goff throws it to the guy on the “for the love of the game” route. You know that guy who threw deep into double and triple coverage and got picked off earlier this season? That’s the guy who made the biggest throw for the Rams since Warner to Bruce in XXIV.
did McVay attempt a pass in the closing minutes of regulation to move the chains against SF in the final week of regular season to seal the game, or was he afraid of another Stafford pick 6?
I think you folks tend to forget the big throws Goff has made in his career with the Rams….. dimes… in stride….

joemadParticipantjoemadParticipantAfter passing for 140+ yards in SB 36, I thought to myself that the Rams just lost to a team that had a Steve Dils clone at QB…
joemadParticipantso i guess the Rams are stuck with him loses 7 in a row against the 49ers?
January 28, 2022 at 11:22 am in reply to: Rams change ticket policy for NFC Championship Game #135800joemadParticipant“””””Whatever.
The game is decided on the field, not in the stands, regardless of what fans think.””””
I totally agree…..
spendable income in the SF Bay Area in the highest in the state and in some cases in the country.
(3 of the top 10 counties in the USA with the largest household income is in the SF bay area)
(12 of the top 15 counties in California with the largest household income is in No Cal)
The highest bidders for tickets is in the SF Bay Area and No Cal. They can afford to pay inflated prices and hop on a plane to attend games.
Loyalty only goes so far when you make a profit of up to $4,000.
In addition, i think many Rams season tickets are purchased by brokers, or casual football fans, not die hard Ram fans.
For example, my brother is a lifelong Dodger fan, but he has had season tix to the SF Giants baseball team since the ball park was built in 2000…. He makes a fortune selling reselling tix to high rollers.. especially when the Giants make the playoffs.
joemadParticipantBTW I read somewhere (or heard) that there has never been an entire playoff season that had 4 games end on the last play. Last weekend, all 4 did. Also, got to thinking how much this game must have hurt Bucs fans. You know, when your team is losing the entire game, you start to reconcile yourself to the defeat well before it is over. To go through what they did – reconciling themselves to defeat – only to have actual real life hope that they would win after all – only to have it ripped away from them…man. Bucs fans have to hate that. And any of them as old as we are that saw 70 and 99 and 22…they must not like the Rams a lot.
Last Sunday the Rams and Stafford did what Tom Brady and the Patriots did to the Rams in Super Bowl 36.
joemadParticipantStafford won some huge road games late this season in Minnesota and Baltimore… not many Ram QB’s have done that since 1969, if ever.
Overall, Stafford reminds me of Jim Everett… hopefully with a different result in the NFC Championship vs SF……

These final 30 seconds will be remembered for a long time, especially in LA.
The Rams are headed to the NFC Championship Game thanks to Matt Gay's game-winning 30-yard field goal.

What I don’t like about Rogan’s show is that he doesn’t challenge the bullshit being said on his show… and he continues to bait media outlets that challenge Rogan when he promotes mis information.

joemadParticipanttough to win and compete in playoff games prior to 1970 merger…
1969 and prior only 4 of the 16 NFL teams (25%) made the post season, thus only conference championships and title games were played….. Only 2 weeks of playoff football back then
Now, 14 teams make the playoffs in the NFL……7 of 16 teams (43%) in each conference resulting in over 4 weeks for playoff games.
1970 merger…. 30% of teams made the playoffs
1976 28% of teams made playoffs when the league expanded to Tampa and Seattle
2 wildcard teams added in 1978
when divisions and expansion happened, even more WC teams and division winners were added.I think George Allen and Roman Gabriel could’ve won some playoff games in a diluted playoff scenario like today…. but it still took Stafford 13 seasons to do it when almost half the league makes the playoffs….
joemadParticipantVermeil quit… things might have been different.
Sean McVay 4-3
John Robinson 4-6
Martz 3-4
Vermeil 3-0
DV 3-4 in Philly
DV 0-1 in KC
Malavasi 3-3
Knox 3-5 (CK 3-4 in Seattle, 1-2 in Buffalo)Bill Belichick… 30-11 in NE, 1-1 in Cleveland
Bill Walsh 10-4
Bruce Arians 4-0 in Tampa (1-2 in AZ)Kyle Shanahan 2-1
Matt Lafeur 2-2joemadParticipant𝒥𝒾𝓂 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉@Jim_Everett
How’d ya like to be Kurt Warner right now, the only ex Ram QB who picked AZ to win.Did they ask Pat Haden? Or Joe Namath? Or Dieter Brock? What about TJ Rubley?
What the hell is Everett talking about. This just looks like a careless shot at Warner for no reason. I mean…I’m pretty sure Warner didn’t toss and turn all night in anxiety over this.
I think only QB’s that played for both the Cards and Rams qualify for this prediction…….. thus I wonder who Sam Bradford picked?
joemadParticipantGreat win. Rams are an NFC-final-four team, as they should be.
Saw a stat, btw. Most years before a playoff win:
Brodie, Deberg 14 years.
Stafford, Tarkenton, Morrall – 13 years.w
vRoman Gabriel didn’t make that list… he has ZERO playoff wins. (0-2)
Of that list, only Earl Morrall won a Championship……. he won twice…

Focus on Tampa…
Rams are 2-0 vs Bucs in playoff games.

Stafford played BAD today, but a defense with Donald, Ramsey, Miller and Floyd on it. CAN NOT give up a 17 pt lead. Can’t do it.

Cardinals’ DeAndre Hopkins Not Available to Make Return vs. Rams, J.J. Watt’s Status Remains in Question
What do DeAndre Hopkins and J.J. Watt’s availability look like for the Wild Card Round against the Rams?NICHOLAS COTHRELJAN 12, 2022
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Deandre Hopkins will not be making his return to the field on Monday against the Los Angeles Rams for the Wild Card Round matchup, coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters on Wednesday.
Hopkins continues his recovery process from a knee injury that required surgery following the Cardinals’ Week 14 loss to the Rams at State Farm Stadium.
During Hopkins’ absence, the Cardinals have relied on A.J. Green, Christian Kirk and Zach Ertz as their core group of pass-catchers to carry the load. Ertz, a trade deadline pickup, has appeared to develop a strong bond in catching passes from quarterback Kyler Murray this season, registering 574 yards and three touchdowns after his arrival to his new club.
As for pass-rusher J.J. Watt, who suffered a shoulder injury during the Cardinals’ Week 7 win over the Houston Texans – his game status sits in question. The Cardinals are hopeful he can go through practice this week but will have a better gauge of where he’s at in making his return as things further progress closer to game-day, Kingsbury said.
Watt told reporters Wednesday he won’t be suiting up if he’s physically not ready enough to do his job properly, so monitoring his status per the injury report will give insight as to how much he’s involved throughout each day’s practice.
The Cardinals suffered a severe dropoff down the final stretch of the season after getting off to a 7-1 start. The subtractions of Watt and Hopkins – two stars on each side of the ball – played into their downhill spiral, having to rely on other players to step up into more prominent roles.
The Rams and Cardinals split the season series during the regular season, each winning as the road team. Kickoff for the Rams and Cardinals Wild Card game is scheduled for Monday at 5:15 p.m. PT at SoFi Stadium.

Rams vs. Cardinals Wild Card Round Preview: NFC West Foes Meet for Round Three
Previewing the storylines ahead of the Rams and Cardinals Wild Card Round matchup.
NICHOLAS COTHRELJAN 13, 2022Round three is here.
The Los Angeles Rams will host the Arizona Cardinals for the third meeting of the season with each visiting team winning the contest in their previous two encounters.
The Rams are coming off a gut-punching overtime loss to the 49ers, but have won four of their last five games. In a different direction, the Cardinals are in a state of disarray, having lost four of the last five games after getting off to an NFL-best 7-1 start.
Here are the top storylines to follow ahead of the Wild Card Round matchup, featuring two divisional foes:
1. Which Matthew Stafford will show up?
Stafford’s regular-season campaign was full of peaks and valleys. He finished the NFL’s first 18 week season throwing for the third-most passing yards (4,886) and second-most touchdowns (41).
But the Rams’ veteran passer also had his share of head-scratching throws, committing 17 interceptions, tied for the most in the NFL. Stafford has thrown an interception in each of his last four games, including three that featured two or more turnovers.
Fortunately for the Rams, they’ve gone 3-1 over that four-week stretch. But the playoffs are on the horizon and giving away the football at an alarming rate isn’t nearly as feasible to overcome when facing higher-caliber teams such as those in the postseason. Stafford is a gifted passer but ensuring he doesn’t give away scoring opportunities is an element he must fix or the Rams’ chances of stacking wins in the playoffs will go crashing down. The Rams will go as far as Stafford takes them.
2. Battle in the trenches
The Rams owned the battle in the trenches when the Rams and Cardinals met last in Week 14. The defensive front of the Rams recorded a staggering 40 quarterback pressures on Kyler Murray’s 49 dropbacks during their meeting in mid-December. Aaron Donald was the ultimate difference-maker, busting through double teams which led to a three-sack performance.But the Rams offensive line will need to hold up their end of the bargain. They’ve played better in more instances in which they performed worse. But last week’s efforts of protecting Stafford in pass-protection did cause reason for concern. Stafford hit the turf five times, while the 49ers’ pass rush logged 28 quarterback pressures, leading to erratic throws.
For the Rams to repeat the success they had in Week 14, they must win the clash at the line of scrimmage.
3. How will the Rams’ banged-up secondary fare?
The Rams will be without its defensive signal-caller Jordan Fuller as he’ll miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury. Safety Taylor Rapp currently sits in concussion protocol, putting his game status in jeopardy. And cornerback Darious Williams is being further evaluated for a shoulder injury.That would inherently call for larger roles from safeties Nick Scott and Terrell Burgess, while David Long Jr. would be asked to step up in the event that Williams is unable to suit up on Monday. The Rams also went ahead and signed Eric Weddle out of retirement, adding him to their practice squad and signed Jake Gervase to the active roster on Wednesday.
Certainly, the Rams have All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who they move all over the field, to create havoc for opposing offenses. But depth players of the Rams that carry little to no playoff experience could be penciled into significant roles in the wake of filling the injury void.
Odds: Rams -4
Key Stat: Rams lead the series over the Cardinals 48-39-2.
Keep An Eye On: What kind of personnel do the Rams roll out in their secondary on game-day and how do they fare?
Rams’ Key To Victory: Stafford must end the interception streak.

BY JAKE ANDERSON
Arizona SportsLos Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has owned the Arizona Cardinals.
His record against his NFC West division rival speaks for itself.
Since taking over at the helm of the Rams in 2017, McVay is a whopping 9-1 against the Cardinals.
And since head coach Kliff Kingsbury took over in 2019, Arizona is 1-5 against Los Angeles.
However, the lone Cardinals win came this season with a 37-20 victory in Week 4 at SoFi Stadium, where Arizona will play the Rams in the Wild Card round on Monday.
Of the six games Kingsbury has coached against McVay over three seasons, two have been one-score games and both were the second matchups of the season (2019, 2021).
Last year’s regular-season finale — which basically served as a playoff game in Week 17 — featured both teams’ backup quarterbacks in Chris Streveler and John Wolford. It ended in an 18-7 Rams victory. A Cardinals win would have clinched the first postseason berth for Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray.
A common theme in five of the six games between Kingsbury and McVay isn’t an anomaly: Whoever runs the most plays and wins the turnover battle has won the game, with the only outlier being the aforementioned double-backup QB contest to end last year.
In those five matchups that went with the turnover battle, Murray has thrown for a combined six interceptions compared to only two picks thrown by Rams quarterbacks, which is split evenly between Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. The Cardinals also fumbled the ball four times compared to the Rams’ two.
A commonality that took place in 2021 is that Arizona ran more plays, outgained and out-possessed L.A. in each meeting.
The Cardinals put up 465 yards on 75 plays in over 35 minutes of possession while Los Angeles garnered 401 yards on 64 plays in just under 25 minutes in the lone victory over the Rams for Kingsbury and Murray. Los Angeles fumbled once and Stafford threw one interception while Arizona kept the golden goose egg in the turnover column in Week 4.
But in Week 14’s 30-23 loss at State Farm Stadium, the Cardinals’ 447 total yards of offense on 75 plays wasn’t enough as Murray threw two picks. Meanwhile, the Rams didn’t turn the ball over. Los Angeles also only needed to run 54 plays on offense to gain 356 total yards, 267 of which came through the air.
If history has taught us anything about when these two division rivals meet — especially under Kingsbury and McVay — it’s that the team that can take care of the football and not give up points off turnovers will most likely be advancing to the NFC Divisional round.
The Cardinals face the Rams in the Wild Card round at 6:15 p.m. on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station.

joemadParticipantWhose House????
The Rams acquired Stafford to win games like this. Specifically beat SF, GB and win a Super Bowl.
So far this trade has netted an 0-3 record to reach these milestones.
BTW, did any of you have flashbacks from the MNF SF game in Anaheim from 1989????
Shanahan > McVay
joemadParticipantWell Stafford should stick to the new formula: A pick6 and minus 2 in the turnover game, and the rams should win.
w
vStafford already did that on Nov 15 against SF…. it failed miserably….
joemadParticipantShannon rates OBJ a 10 for the week
Skip rates OBJ a 4
joemadParticipantFucking Matthew Stafford….
back-to-back clutch 4th qtrs on the road.
That’s 5 in a row…
I want to rewatch this game again right now….
joemadParticipantJohn Harbaugh is 4-0 against the Rams as HC of The Ravens….
John Harbaugh’s Ravens have outscored the Rams 120-29
