    Sterile and stark.

    Hitler’s Encino bunker.

    I’ve always dreamt of having a Victorian style library in my home.  High ceiling with built-in bookshelves, walls covered in old portraits of family members who died decades before I was born, a giant globe, high-backed cushy chairs, fireplace etc.

    I could sit there in my smoking jacket, dog at my feet, sipping single-malt scotch and smoking one of those big curly pipes while I peruse my first edition copy of Bleak House or something…

    McVay sorta (perhaps unconvincingly) dismissed the retirement talk surrounding him.  The Donald retirement rumor was new to me. Note that when asked Donald didn’t poopoo it.

    I don’t believe that for a second. Everett has told me personally that he doesn’t drink. (When we met over coffee.)

    I think it’s because McVay is 3-1 vs the Cowboys and 3-0 against his favorite player (Tom Brady) since he became a Buccaneer.

    And with all that success — they still barely won. The 49ers are just beasts. And one would think SF will be better next year. Add a weapon or two. NFC West. w v

    True, the 9ers may be beasts next year – depends on how quickly their rookie QB develops.

    But the reason the game was so tight was largely due to the Rams shooting themselves in the foot.

    – Stafford forced a pass to Kupp that was tipped and picked off in the end zone. That cost the Rams 3 pts.

    -Kupp dropped a pass that, had he caught it, he likely would have been able to run inside the 9ers’ 10 yard line.

    -Skowronek dropped a TD pass.

    -Gay missed a long but make-able FG.

    -Ramsey dropped an INT deep in 9ers’ territory.

    The Rams should have won the game by a comfortable margin.

    That said, I am always impressed with the 9ers’ toughness. And Debo may be the best weapon in football.  Fortunately for the Rams, Jimmy G was an anchor around their necks last night.  His limitations are the only thing holding them back. If Trey Lance develops into a good QB, look out.

    Rams set new NFC title game record for the largest deficit overcome 10 pts.

    The Rams made a ton of mistakes but had the grit to overcome them.  Hard fought win against a tough team.

    Ernest Jones should make a difference as well.

    Earnest Jones likely wouldn’t miss that tackle on Fournette like Reeder did on that 4th and 1.

    Game over right there if the unblocked Reeder makes that tackle.  I’m not picking on him because I think he played well overall, and he made that right read and was able to shoot the gap untouched – but ugh- ya gotta make that tackle.

    Yeah, I trust him to be like Favre. Not Brady. And yeah, I’ll take it. But it aint always gonna be pretty. w v

    To me Stafford is like Elway only in the sense that he’s a gunslinger and has Uber-confidence in his arm and his ability to fit the ball into tight places.  Now he’s way more accurate than Elway ever was but, like Elway, when you have that attitude and the arm to back it up it means that you’re going to make a lot of hi-lite type throws, but you’re also going to throw some picks. We just got to hope that the former continues to occur at a higher frequency than the latter.

    Orlovsky said that there wasn’t a defensive breakdown on that 70 yd pass to Kupp. He said Stafford held the safety in the center of the field with his eyes so that Kupp could break open.

    For sure Vermeil would top that list if he had stayed.

    The surprise for me is Knox. I would have guessed he had won more than 3. The Rams won the division 7 times in a row in the 70s. And Knox won only 3 games?

    Malavasi was head coach for the 7th championship in that streak.

    Knox was HC for 6 of those seasons. He made the playoffs each season and never made it to the Super Bowl, so he would have to have 6 losses. So how can he be 3-5?

    And the final piece is in place.

    Not even something as stupid as going empty backfield on 3rd and a foot could keep the Rams out of the Super Bowl now.

    Matthew Stafford’s passer rating yesterday when targeting:

    Kupp: 158.3
    All other WRs: 16.3

    O-kay.

    1. Bench every receiver except Kupp.
    2. Replace benched receivers with extra o-linemen.
    3. Hoist Lombardi Trophy in February.

    Again, if we don’t get to the NFC Title game, it will go down as a failed season.

    Well, the media says that so often its become a mantra,
    but I dont know why thats more true now with the rams, than
    any season with any team.

    I think that kind of mantra ignores 12 wins and all the
    good stuff they’ve done this year.

    So for me, i just reject that whole “failed season” thing.

    Also, I think their window is still open for a couple more
    years or so. I just think what they need to do is simply
    add a couple god-dam OLineman. Instead of tutus.

    v

    I agree with all that. They got two or three more years – maybe longer if they draft really well in the later rounds…

    It’s amazing the accolades the Rams o-line always gets from sources like PFF, but when they face the really stout defensive fronts they crumble like a tray of Apple Brown Betty.

    I think the simple explanation is that most people (especially the limousine libs that work in Hollywood) don’t believe Capitalism is at fault for what’s happening. I don’t think they see it as *necessarily* bad. They see it as something that is often misused, but redeemable and maybe even good when not wielded by greedy industrialists and billionaires.

    I see it as a loaded gun in a room full of 3 year olds. No matter how you mitigate it, it won’t end well.

    Having Stafford as your QB is like having an Aston Martin with a bad timing belt.

    Good looking but lots of misfires.
