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.

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.”

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.
nittany ramModeratorFor me, Goff may be the most frustrating player the Rams ever had.
So good in so many ways, so not so good in so many ways…
He almost but not quite but kinda sorta but not really gets it.
I just…ya know…I just see him screw up basic clock management again and again…and I – unfairly, or not – just think about how the dude did not know where the sun sets, as an adult, after spending 4 years at UC Berkeley.
There is something “not there” with that guy. He has his head in the clouds sometimes.
He has the physical ability. We saw throws last night that we didn’t see him make all last year, but had seen previously. I saw somewhere that Stafford has already equaled Goff’s yearlong total from last season of TD passes 15+ yards.
He can throw the ball. But he lost his confidence with the Rams, probably because McVay lost patience with his brainlessness, and trashed him, instead of patiently nurturing him. McVay may just be too smart for his own good. His ability to recognize patterns on the field is off the charts. It comes easily to him, and he has to learn how to communicate with people for whom it doesn’t come easily. Speaking as a genius myself, I understand the pain. {emoji of something}.
Maybe Stafford can go all ‘Beautiful Mind’ with McVay and see the patterns unfold while dodging DEs, but I think too much is made of that. You don’t have to be a ‘rocket surgeon’ to excel at QB in the NFL. Marino and Montana were dolts but they are among the best QBs of all time. I don’t know what Goff’s issue is, but I don’t think it’s about intelligence or lack thereof.
nittany ramModeratorJared Goff on full display.
Making great throws, making wtf throws, dropping the ball, forgetting to watch the game clock. It’s all here, the good and bad.
You know, Rodgers presence of mind to hurry the snap in order to get a free play on 3rd down contrasts with Goff letting the clock run out on him TWICE in the same game, in the 6th year of his career.
For me, Goff may be the most frustrating player the Rams ever had.
So good in so many ways, so not so good in so many ways…
He almost but not quite but kinda sorta but not really gets it.

nittany ramModeratorI was at that game.
In 99 they lost three games, and I was at two of them.
What the hell were you doing in Detroit. Who the hell goes to Detroit.
Friend of mine was from there. He was a Lions fan so he and I and a couple other guys drove there for the game. It was about a 6 or 7 hour drive from where I lived in PA at the time.
The night before the game we went to the top of the tallest building in Detroit. It had one of those outside elevators – the kind that’s like riding in a big glass bubble. One of my friends was nervous because he was afraid of heights but we talked him into it. Apparently none of us including himself realized just how afraid of heights he was – especially when confronted with an unobstructed, panoramic view, and what that meant regarding gravity’s potential to do nasty things to his body because at about 400 ft up he turned white, became drenched with sweat, and collapsed in a fetal position at the back of the elevator. When we got to the top and the doors opened we couldn’t convince him to get up. It wasn’t until a group of people had to step over him to get on the elevator that he moved at all.
Until that the high-light of the trip had been the herd of rats that we saw frolicking in and under a dumpster outside of our hotel.
