nittany ramModeratorThe Rams could win the next three games or lose the next three, and neither of those scenarios would surprise me more than the other.
nittany ramModeratorWho is in first place now, Cards or Rams?
w
vCards based on division record (4-2) vs Rams (3-2).
nittany ramModeratorThe Rams seemed to play more man coverage yesterday than they have recently, and it clearly suited Darious Williams and David Long jnr. They easily played their best games of the season so far.
Darious Williams had a Pro Bowl caliber season last year playing in a defense that played a lot of man coverage. I hope the Rams continue to do that.

nittany ramModeratorThe NFL should shut down for two weeks and quarantine all players and coaches.
nittany ramModeratorTaking an injury/covid depleted team into Arizona and getting a victory was a masterful coaching performance by McVay. I’m not refering to strategy/play design. I mean coaching.
December 6, 2021 at 10:18 am in reply to: Monday’s ARZ game…what do we have to say about this one? #134400nittany ramModeratorI have already seen enough of this year’s Rams to know what’s going to happen on Monday. They look like world beaters vs. Sub .500 teams, but aside from the Tampa game, their weaknesses are easily exploited by good teams. I would expect Arizona to target any player not named Ramsey all night. I think that Murray will have plenty of time to sit in the pocket to find his open receivers. I think the Cardinals defense will pressure Stafford into a couple of turnovers. I don’t expect his game to be all that close. Cardinals win by at least ten to thirteen.
Yup.
nittany ramModeratorAnything that makes Skip sad makes me happy.
nittany ramModeratorRams are favored by a point I see.
In Green Bay
After coming off two consecutive losses in which the o-line got abused and Stafford looked lost.
Huh.
nittany ramModeratorStafford’s has come back to the pack the last couple weeks, but by any statistical measure he’s still one of the top three QB’s in the league.
Neither INT against the 9’ers was his fault. The first one was picked because OBJ quit on the route, and the second one bounced out of Higbee’s hands.
nittany ramModeratorI haven’t decided if I like the OBJ signing or not yet, but there was speculation that all the hoopla over the Von Miller signing served as a distraction, and was at least partly responsible for the Rams’ poor play against the Titans. I hope they learned their lesson this week.
I’m putting the Rams on notice. I cannot be held responsible for my actions if they lose this week. I will not suffer another loss to the 9ers. I just won’t.
nittany ramModeratorO-line got whupped.
The pressure turned Stafford into Wentz. MVP waived bye-bye.
It’s not something to worry about though. The Titans didn’t expose some heretofore hidden fatal flaw.
The Rams will fix it and move on.
November 4, 2021 at 1:16 pm in reply to: Stafford thread (starting 10/21, going into week 7) #133645nittany ramModeratorThe quarterback who generated the most pass EPA has won MVP in every season in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016).
This season, Matthew Stafford has generated almost twice as much pass EPA (+114.3) than the next closest QB (Dak Prescott: +62.2).#RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/7hESbiI2vp

nittany ramModeratorI’m sorry for Henry.
nittany ramModeratorThey have not put together a game that made me think they are a legitimate threat to win it all.
Who has? There isn’t a single team (outside of maybe the Cowboys) that consistently puts together complete games or looks like a contender ever week.
You’ve been bested. Now, slink back to the 9er’s board or whatever hell you crawled out of and tell your fowl brethren that we will not suffer their ilk.
nittany ramModeratorKyler has been taking a beating the last couple weeks. I’m starting to wonder if he will make it through the season.
nittany ramModeratorJim McVay (Sean’s uncle) was one of the people Gruden was emailing.
Okay, but that doesn’t tell us anything about Sean.
I have two idiot brothers and a father who were livid about Colin Kapernick and BLM, and I doubt that they would voice objections to anybody who said something like Gruden did.
They doesn’t mean I share those views, too, just because we’re related.
I’m not saying it means anything about Sean’s views. It just reinforces what we already know about the friendship between the Grudens (Jon and Jay) and the McVays. They are close. As such, I wonder if Sean ever saw this side of Jon Gruden before. He says he didn’t, but I bet a lot of people who aren’t as close to John Gruden as Sean is knew how he felt. There are certainly many people associated with the NFL who share his views.
nittany ramModeratorGruden and McVay are good friends, right.
Sigh.

nittany ramModeratorJim McVay is Sean McVay’s uncle…
Gruden also reportedly exchanged emails with Allen and others that included photos of women wearing only bikini bottoms. One photo reportedly included two Washington Football Team cheerleaders. Per the Times, Gruden and Allen also sometimes included Ed Droste, the co-founder of Hooters; Jim McVay, an executive who has run the Outback Bowl; and Nick Reader, the founder of PDQ Restaurants, in the emails.

nittany ramModeratorStafford Time‼️@alfsbones
The Rams are:
•Last in plays per drive
•22nd in RZ TD %
•22nd in rushing
All that has to changeBut the Rams are 8th in scoring.
Who cares how long a drive is if you get points out of it?
This speaks to the RZ TD pct too. Yeah, it would be nice to have a higher Pct of TDs but the Rams are scoring a lot of points anyway so….
nittany ramModeratorYou and your Seahawk compatriots at wikipedia can try to minimize the accomplishments of the Rams all you want, but I won’t stand by and let your fake news go unchallenged.
Merlin Olsen played in 56 Pro Bowls, not 14. Elvis Peacock is second with 54. Look it up.
The Rams record for sacks in a game is 47, and they did it 27 times, most recently last Thursday against your beloved Russell Zorn.
And somehow your NFL historical “scholars” completely overlooked this little tidbit…
“The NFL team record for safeties in a game is three, which all occurred when the Los Angeles Rams recorded 3 against the New York Giants on September 30, 1984. The individual record is two, by the Rams’ Fred Dryer against the Green Bay Packers on October 21, 1973.”
October 9, 2021 at 10:27 am in reply to: setting up the Giants game (updated w/ good 1 by JB Long) #132923nittany ramModeratorComing off a 10 day rest, on the road, against a bad team…
Exactly the sort of game the Rams typically lose.
nittany ramModeratorMaybe they should bring Bud Carson on board as a consultant.
Is Morris Giunta? Or Marmie?
Inquiring analogy addicts want to know.
He’s a little bit of both. He’s Giumie.
nittany ramModeratorMaybe they should bring Bud Carson on board as a consultant.
nittany ramModeratorStatistically, the Rams were better on D last season through Week 5, clearly.
Their 4 wins, however, were all against the NFC East, the worst division in football, and they lost to the only team that had a winning record.
This season, their 4 victories are all against playoff teams from last season. Just on the basis of difficulty of schedule, you would expect the D to give up more in this stretch than they did last year.
And now a soft stretch for the Rams. Maybe we can invite Nittany back in 4 weeks to post again, once he’s finished serving his suspension.
I wasn’t suspended. I’m a Covid inactive.
The biggest diff between this year and last year is the play of the secondary. I think they miss JJ and Hill. They also played a lot more man coverage last year. D Williams excelled at that. He hasn’t really distinguished himself in the soft zone approach they use now.

nittany ramModeratorRams excelled in all phases of the game today. They look unbeatable.
Pretty clear they are be the best team in football.
Perhaps the best team ever.
MAY-be the 85 Chicago Bears or 26 Frankford Yellowjackets could beat them on an off day.
MAY-be.
