    He’s back for 2018?

    Is the league gonna replay last season?

    Hey, I’m good with it. Hopefully McVay won’t make the same mistakes in the Super Bowl.

    I agree on Hedges’ view of the Green Party based on my experience with them in Vermont.

    Old, white, ex-hippies.

    Of course, that would pretty much describe everyone in Vermont…

    Prostitution is often seen as a “victimless crime” but that’s certainly not true if human sex trafficking is involved. It will be interesting to see if Kraft knew about the sex trafficking. My guess is he did.

    What kind of bird is it?

    Don’t know. It’s aggravating that they didn’t post more photos of the bird.

    Unfortunately this isn’t true. The toxin from puffer fish (tetrodotoxin) doesn’t get dolphins or anything else high.

    I wonder what else they’re going to find that way.

    See global warming has all sorts of benefits.

    Yeah, I wonder….

    I am perfectly happy with Goff. He will soon be considered elite.

    I agree with Ag. While he didn’t play great, this loss was not on him.

    The loss was about McVay’s inexperience. He doesn’t have an answer against the better veteran defensive coordinators. We also saw this against Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia. He can’t adapt when they take away what he wants to do.

    I think he will learn from this.

    I swear to god.

    If this isn’t the longest week of my life, I dunno….

    Please just STOP with all this “Talking About Nothing,” and toss the damn coin already.

    Yeah, I can’t take any more hype or stories about nothing presented as if they were something.

    I’ve instituted a Super Bowl blackout until kickoff. No more insubstantial articles. I’m not even going to watch the preview show leading up to the game. The TV will not be turned on until a few minutes before kickoff.

    Rams should never have left LA. Browns should never have left Cleveland. Colts should never have left baltimore. Cards should never have left St.Louis.

    And the Swallows never should have left Capistrano.

    Fortunately they returned.

    watched superbowl opening night.

    there’s noticeably waaaaaaaay more pats fans there than rams fans.

    hope it’s not like this during the actual game.

    Yeah, the Pats have one of those giant national fan bases like the Steelers and Packers. I’m not concerned. The Rams have been great at dealing with crowd noise, and like zooey (aka russellwilsonfan3 on all other boards) mentioned above, it won’t be nearly as bad as it was in Nawlins.

    officiating wasn’t better in the past…….. it was less scrutinized and reviewed with technology that is outdated…….. today’s video HD technology and camera angles gives us views we never had in the past… it doesn’t mean that officiating is worse today than it was in the past… it’s most like better….

    BTW, the Saints were not flagged for a penalty until there was 5:39 remaining in the 3rd qtr…. New Orleans ended up being penalized only 3 times in a game that had more than 4 qtrs of football…..

    The perception among most fans has always been that the refs aren’t very good. I never agreed with that assessment but I would like to see replay applied to penalties. The important thing is getting the call right, no matter how that happens.

    I’m not sure about that. I think the flow of the game is moreimportant than getting more calls right.

    I personally believe human error is part of the game and that’s okay.

    Well, I would set it up so the coach has to challenge the penalty call just as he would when he disagrees with the call on a pass completion. fumble, etc. He would still only get his 2 challenges. It’s just that he would be able to challenge a penalty too.

    This is tough.

    If you compare their rosters, the Rams would seem to be much more talented than the Pats. A talent disparity of this size would lead me to pick the Rams if they were playing any other team.

    But they are playing the Pats, and they have Bilicheck and Brady.

    So that muddies things a bunch.

    My brain says the Pats win, but my heart says Rams. I haven’t paid attention to anything my brain has said my entire life and I guess there’s no reason to start now.

    Rams 38, Pats 34.

    It’s a big deal in New England. It goes like, Rams shouldn’t be in the game they robbed the Saints on a missed call.

    Really? Every Pats fan I’ve spoken with says it was a bad noncall but also agrees that bad calls went against both teams. They seem pretty empathetic actually.

    Well, it ‘was’ good strategy by Alan Page. He had nuthin to lose but a few inches if they called it against him, and he had a lot to gain by tryin it.

    Yeah, Page was one of the smartest football players that ever lived.

    Still, it was a terrible non-call. I am guessing every hardcore, longterm football fan has their own list of terrible calls that cost their teams playoff victories. Thats football. Off the top of my head, one that I always think of (for some odd reason) is the ‘push-off’ noncall between the old Cowboys and Vikings. A lot of Viking fans STILL grumble about ‘that’ one.

    w
    v

    As a Rams fan, instead of thinking about a bad call that ruined the lives of a lot of Vikings fans (something that should be celebrated) I think about the 74 playoffs when the Rams had the ball on the Vikings’ one yard line, and Alan Page jumped offsides, but the refs called a penalty on Tom Mack. Replays showed that Tom Mack never moved. Cost the Rams the game.

    I’m sure it warms your heart to think of that moment but for Rams fans it’s a painful reminder that the universe is cold and uncaring, and that the Vikings must be destroyed at all costs.

    Suh deserves special recognition.

    He has been their best player since the playoffs began.

    Shame he didn’t play with this intensity all year, but if he can help the Rams defeat Emporer Belicheck and Darth Brady, all will be forgiven.
