Lot of players did good. I thought the defense is starting to be special

Rams defense is 4th in the league in yards per game and 3rd in points per game.

I dunno, but i just think this is what the Rams Offense looks like when you take away the run. The Giants took away the run. And when that happens, all those short passes by the rams dont amount to much.

right now i’m thinking it’s one of two things.

either mcvay has no plan for when the rams run game is stalled.

or mcvay knows the oline can’t hold up if they go too pass heavy.

the other possibility of course is that goff needs the run game to thrive. i don’t think that’s the case though. goff looked good today.

While watching yesterday’s display of offensive ineptitude, I wondered what happened to the Rams’ downfield passing game? The one medium to deep ball they connected on yesterday (Kupp TD) was a blown coverage.

Rams 37 Giants 3

Arrogant pricks!

Do they really think they can hold the Rams to 37 points?

I hope someone hangs this in the Rams locker room.

But I’ll say this — it doesnt look like a Super-Bowl Team. It just doesnt. Not like the 99 Rams or the other ring-teams over the years.

They have some things they need to clean up, but to me, they do look like a Super Bowl contender. And they will be getting some guys back that might help them out defensively over the next few weeks too.

But, other than maybe the Ravens, every team has holes. It’s the nature of the game today.

Recall that the 99 Rams lost to the only two good teams they played during the regular season and the defense didn’t look very good in either loss.

Trump signs executive order that white-washes history and protects white fragility…

This is the most intellectually terrifying, fascist shit I’ve read to date from this administration. I will continue to teach young adults the truth about histories & legacies kof oppression in this country. You can’t erase us or our truths. https://t.co/vSOqkzVshe

Good game overall. Nice game plan from McVay. Goff executed it very well.

Brown ran well. Rookies Van Jefferson and Fuller look like players.

Crowd didn’t seem into it though. Lotta empty seats too.

Imagine if George W. Bush had prior knowledge of the attack on 9-11 and decided to not say anything about it because he didn't want to panic anyone.

Yeah, rural voters still like Trump.

I was in northern NH a couple weeks ago. Way north – just a couple miles from the Canadian border. Every third house or so had a Trump sign in the front yard. While driving through this area it was depressing seeing all the love for Trump, but then I would remind myself that all the support I’m seeing all over this vast area only represents about a thousand votes.

Rural love aside, Trump doesn’t have enough support to win this election. He can’t really win it, but the Anti-Trumpers could lose it if they don’t get out and vote or if too many obstacles are put in place to keep them from voting.

He needs to get stronger. It was a huge factor in Brady’s development. But more important, IMO, is his delivery, his mechanics. He just takes too long to wind up and throw.

Wish he’d study Peyton Manning, 24/7. Brady’s really good there too. Get the ball up around the ear, then fire, fast. Up fast, fire fast. No towel-whip windups.

All kinds of reasons why this is essential, but the obvious one is this: It takes the heat off the offensive line trying to protect him. Plus, it gives his receivers an advantage setting up DBs. Plus, it drives great pass-rushers bonkers. Just ask Aaron Donald.

Yeah, I’d like him to get stronger.

I found stats on time to throw (elapsed time from snap to throw, TT). Goff’s TT was middle of the pack last season. I think his TT may have more to do with his comfort level with reading defenses than with his physique. I think I saw that he had one of the worst passer ratings in the league when having to go to his second read. That, more than any other issue with Goff is the most disturbing to me. If he can’t master his progressions then he really can’t become anything more than a serviceable QB.

Of course, time to throw might be different than what you’re talking about. You’re probably referring to the time that elapses from the moment a QB decides to throw until the time the ball is out of his hand (quick release?). I can never find any stats for that. For me, Dan Marino was the master of the quick release. Dan was also great at reading defenses, and he wasn’t too bright, so hopefully Goff’s issues with reading defenses are simply a matter of experience and putting in the effort to learn.

Improving photosynthesis through genetic modification…

“Scientists from the University of Essex, through the research project Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) have resolved two major photosynthetic bottlenecks to boost plant productivity by 27 percent in real-world field conditions, according to a new study published in Nature Plants. The photosynthetic hack has also been shown to conserve water.“
