NERamParticipantI can almost hear John Wayne’s voice at the start of the game…
“Ah’ve been studyin ya fer a long time now, and ah’ve got ya figgered out. Ya ain’t nuthin, cuz yer yeller.
NERamParticipantPatz can’t come back. 35-28 Eagles.
So I got a little decent football pleasure out of today.
Indeed. A very, very effective salve for my Rams wounds…
NERamParticipanthappy birthday! aren’t you having the best birthday!?
Yes, a rather good birthday, actually. I wasn’t able to watch the game, and instead enjoyed a nice dinner out with my wife. Much like WV, I don’t enjoy watching the Rams when they are in suck-mode.
I did get a chance to celebrate while watching the Patriots lose to Denver. And quite frankly, that’s one of the things that irks me when the Rams are playing bad football. Cause when they are, I have to wring out my happiness by hoping other teams lose, instead of hoping my team wins.
Anyhow, FWIW, the talk about the Patriots being against the world, and Brady being so P.O.d about “Deflate-Gate” that he was going to exact his revenge on the entire NFL by going undefeated, is now, thankfully and mercifully, over. They’ll make the playoffs, and might win the SB, but the “perfect” season is no more. So, yay.
SOB’s almost pulled it off tonight. Again.
After losing Dion Lewis, then Edelman, then Amendola, and now tonight Gronkowski, Brady still got them to a tying FG with 69 seconds left, and 1 Time out. Sent the game to OT, where they ended up losing.
All I could think of, when Gronkowski went down and Brady had no more real offensive weapons, and still managed to tie the game, was that final scene in Terminator, where only the metal Cyborg hand had any movement or signs of life. That’s what the Patriots reminded me of, tonight. These friggin mothers just won’t die…
But, in the end, die they did. Brady looks rather pedestrian without any weapons, and an offensive line that’s been switched up numerous times this season. He makes bad throws, hurried throws, and even gets sacked every now and then.
So, that’s it. I can go to bed happy. Just not about the Rams, though. Happy cause someone else lost.
Sigh.
NERamParticipantHappy belated, SD. I was so engrossed in catching the stupid turkey I missed your B’day.
Wish I could guarantee a “W” tomorrow as a present, but alas, I cannot. Flipping a coin would probably serve as well as any other form of prediction with this bunch, so feel free to find a quarter and give it a flick.
Heads, Rams win.
** For ho-hos, I just flipped a coin ten times. Heads came up 3 times. Rams have a 30% chance of winning tomorrow.
NERamParticipantThanks, guys. The Birthday Refs had decided that this year, my Birthday would not fall on Thanksgiving, as it occasionally does. And so, many festivities on Thursday, followed by a family Birthday celebration on Friday by individuals who thought that it would be more appropriate to celebrate the big day yesterday, as opposed to today, the actual day.
PA, you had a good thought trying to deaden the discomfort for tomorrow’s game. I was thinkin a morphine drip might be neat, however the Black Ram might do the trick.
I normally like to compare bouts of discomfort with previous bouts, in an effort to classify the degree of pain I am feeling. The most recent was a complete physical, with the obligatory prostate check.
And so, while comparing the watching of the Rams offense to a prostate exam, I can tell you assuredly that the prostate exam is the easier of the two. The actual exam is over in a couple of seconds, while the Ram torture lasts for several hours.

NERamParticipantWhat is a group of Keenums called?
Harried.
.
OMG, still laughing.
NERamParticipantYes, well, had your original post said “earth” foxes, then I would known what you were talking about. But it didn’t say that, it said “ground” foxes.
I think that was intentional. An intentional ground, if you will.
Let the Admins deal with you as they will.

vNow that is just messed up. Who thinks of these things? Are there really people who devote their lives to coming up with this stuff?
Not sure if unkind fits the Ravens anymore.Maybe when Siragusa, Reed, Suggs and Lewis were playing, then they might be considered unkind. Nowadays, ennnh, not so much.
Hoping for a “W” Sunday, not confident enough to predict one.
Go Case. What is a group of Keenums called?
NERamParticipantWhat the heck are ground-foxes? In relation to air-foxes and/or sea-foxes?
Enny-hew, I’m sorta agreeing with you on this one. Can’t make any more positive predictions with this team. Not even sure Super-Gurley and Ghost-Of-Welker can help these schizos…

Cook said, that prior to the Bears game,
the team decided it was going to “start a new season.”So they are really just 0 and 1.

The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”

NERamParticipantSome stats from Foles supporting cast, 2013. Not too too shabby in the rushing and receiving depts.

LeSean McCoy, 314, 1,607, 5.1, 57, 9,PLAYER, REC, YDS, YDS/REC, LONG, TD,
DeSean Jackson, 82, 1,332, 16.2, 61, 9,
LeSean McCoy, 52, 539, 10.4, 70, 2,
Riley Cooper, 47, 835, 17.8, 63, 8,NERamParticipantDisappointed, fer sure.
I really thought, at the beginning of the season, that Foles would turn out better than just a game manager.
One particular play stood out, for me, anyways. During the Seahawks game, he floated a beautiful pass in between Sherman I believe, and another DB. Nice arc, soft touch.
That touch is something you didn’t see too much of with Bradford. Sam threw lasers, but how many passes did we see clanging off receivers hands from a laser, when a softer pass would’ve probably been caught.
I liked what I saw out of early Foles, but now, Mio Dios…
November 15, 2015 at 4:58 pm in reply to: A well coached team with good QB play is hard to beat (post-Bears game thread) #34144NERamParticipantWell that game sure didn’t go the way I was expecting.
.
You ain’t alone, señor…
Can it really be that this O is regressing from bad to pathetic?
NERamParticipantOK.
I’ll go Rams 24, Bears 13.
NERamParticipantThat’s kind of amazing—I have 16 categories and they rank top 10 in 12 of them.
Hope this lasts.
Yeah, me too. Very frustrating to have the O sputtering like this. I get this sinking feeling when I watch the O, like we’re wasting a great opportunity here.
NERamParticipanthey. maybe they’ll run some slant routes now???
ha!
I was thinkin the same thing… I can see the following conversation taking place with Fisher, Welker and Foles –
“Wes, remember that play that you and Tom used to run so often? That quick little slant to the middle that got about 18-freakin-thousand 3rd down conversions and 500 touchdowns? Yeah, you do? Good, cause we’d like you to keep running it for us”
“Nick, when Wes lines up before the snap, look down the middle of the field, but keep an eye on him out of the corner of your eye. He’s gonna run straight upfield for a coupla steps, and then suddenly, he’s gonna break sharply towards the center of the field. When he makes that break, I want you to throw it to a spot a couple of yards in front of him. Trust me, he’ll be open, and will make the catch. Can you do that? Good.”
And with that, the plague that is called anemia gets on the next plane outa St Louis…
NERamParticipantHappy Birthday, Herzog. Hope the lads can give you a “W” tomorrow. May you see the back of #30’s jersey all afternoon …
NERamParticipantHey, Mack.
Happy Birthday.
November 5, 2015 at 7:38 am in reply to: Prediction thread – Minnesota Vikings – out of doors #33554NERamParticipantClose game.
16-13 Rams
NERamParticipantI liked it.
w
vMe too.
I like back to back wins, beating another team that we were supposed to beat, going 4-3, 3-0 in the division, a killer D that grudgingly gives up field goals, TA, and a rookie RB that is making the NFL stand up and take notice so early into what looks like is going to be a monstrous career.
I don’t like the the fact that these guys looked like they were intentionally trying to shoot themselves in the foot. At a loss trying to understand what can be done about the stupid penalties.
The 2 that irk me the most are blocking in the back, and hitting another player who is already out of bounds. I mean, c’mon, guys. Do you need a freaking anatomy lesson to fully understand what the backside of an opposing player looks like, and that your not supposed to block that body part. And if you’re getting ready to tackle somebody, you really honestly cant see that the other player is 2-3 yards off the field? Jeez you guys, your wins would come so much easier and more frequently if you can clean that crap up.
Don’t even want to talk about 3rd down failures…
OK, end of rant. Good, but ugly win. Yay.
NERamParticipanti’m curious to know how this rams defense would fare against that pats offense.
I’ve been wondering the same thing.
Would rather see it when Ogletree is healthy again. Not intended as a slam against Barron at all… I think he’s done a pretty good job out there.
DL would probably make it uncomfortable for Brady, but 2 seconds is pretty quick. I was watching the game the other night, and yes, that ball was out of his hand right around the 2 second mark.
Would be pretty cool to see Barron and TJ repeat that sandwich hit, this time on Edelman, maybe slow him down a little.
Gronks another story, though.

NERamParticipant“how cool is that? I wasn’t aware that happened”.
Way cool. I loved it
October 28, 2015 at 1:59 pm in reply to: stuff from the net on Browns game including a must-read sideline report #33135NERamParticipant“In the first half when things weren’t going well, in the 2nd quarter they had come off the field, I think it was a 3 and out. He (the rookie) pulled the entire offense in a huddle, O-linemen, WRs and TEs and Foles and said, ” We are fine. We just gotta keep pushing. We are close to pushing through, I got ya’lls back. And I know you got mine. We gonna keep pushing”.
Not sure WOW even comes close…
NERamParticipantThe legend of Todd Gurley continues to grow, after only 2 full games. LOL.
“He will have 200 yards BY HALFTIME”.
Loved reading those comments. Nice pick-me-up on a slow Tuesday after a bye week.
NERamParticipantSacks are good but unless they come with a fumble recovery it will be a lost cause for the Rams. What we really need to see is our secondary get multiple INTs which is not easy there. Foles needs to string some time consuming drives together.
Well you got 3 out of 3. Though, you probably should have added “and get points out of it” to #3.
.
LOL.
Just considering the first 2, if you knew ahead of time that Rodgers would fumble plus throw 2 picks, indicating that the Packers A game wasnt on the field, it wouldn’t be a stretch to think that a W was possible in Green Bay.
Add in some long, time consuming drives which probably means that Gurley is doing some damage PLUS keeping Rodgers on the sidelines, yeah, I woulda bet on the Rams yesterday.
October 12, 2015 at 3:59 pm in reply to: Wagoner: Todd Gurley is already the Rams' offensive centerpiece #32235NERamParticipantSome Gurley vids from Packers game.
NERamParticipantHappy Birthday!!!
Any cake left?
NERamParticipantYou just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free…That’s what I thought happened to you. I thought you just slipped out the back.
But you didn’t, so I’m glad.
Glad that your back, Jack.
So, no shot at all against Green Bay? Hmmm.
I said no way they beat the Seahawks, and had to eat crow the first week of the season. Tasted terrible and delicious all at the same time. I thought no way they beat Arizona. I thought it, but didn’t say it, so no crow had to be eaten.
I don’t know, after seeing the way they played the 2nd half last week, I saw a new dimension to the team that I hadn’t seen for a loooooong time. The offense imposed its will against a pretty good team, and closed the game out. Something happened after the hit to Fitzgerald when he coughed the ball up, and the Rams got the ball back. That’s when Gurley lit his afterburners, and it seemed like everyone got a shot of confidence. Things started clicking, and plays were made.
If they can keep the run game going, and keep Rodgers on the sidelines, I could actually see a close game here.
NERamParticipantMaybe ZN1 should start up “rate the flamer” again.
w
vOooooo, ooooooo, Rate the Flamer. Hours of action packed fun.
But I thought that was developed during the SOSAR period, when football wasnt very much fun to talk about. However, that was then, and this is now. No more SOSAR now, is there???? IS THERE!???
And, Nittany isn’t REALLY a Flamer, is he? Nah, can’t be. You guys are mistaking him for someone else, I’m thinkin.
NERamParticipantWell, it was really obvious that Wright intentionally swatted the ball out of bounds. I don’t know how the ref could think otherwise.
I dunno. Based on the length of time it took the League to respond, it just seemed like they knew the ref blew it, and that statement was developed as their Teflon coat to prevent further damage.
