Thanks wv I feel like I know myself now.

Bragging is unseemly.

Calling someone unseemly is neither seemly nor unseemly. It’s aseemly.

To be fair, btw, so is calling someone aseemly.

…

You are displaying classic symptoms of dyseemlia…the inability to identify and use the correct derivation of ‘seemly’ in a sentence.

It’s one of our most prevelant tick-borne illnesses, second only to Lyme disease.

I couldn’t agree more.

Maintaining decorum will be vital.

And seemliness.

Pray that we do not ignore seemliness in our eagerness to maintain decorum.

Rest of the league was busy shortly after the game changing their shorts . If the Vikes can’t stop you who can? Something about the short week messes with the Defense and the Offense goes nuts . What a fun night ! And the D notched 4 sacks including Donalds first two and JFM with the strip sack to ice the game wow. Goff is playing better than any QB out there right now I watched Mahones and got the feeling this guy has been lucky so far. Goff is a surgeon.

That was the greatest performance by a Rams offense I’ve ever witnessed. I don’t think that even the GSOT ever looked that good – not against a top flight defense anyway.

GSOS – Greatest Show on Surf.

Rams 27, Vikings 19.

Vikings’ o-line is subpar, and in 12 years of Thursday night games no team has ever won or covered the spread when they’ve had to travel two time zones west.

The bad news for the Vikings is that if the past is any indication, they’re a lock to lose this week, and here’s why: No team flying from the Central time zone to the Pacific time zone for a Thursday game has ever won or covered a game over the past 12 years.

Something else to keep an eye on… Play-by-play sheet says Andrew Whitworth left the game with an injury late in the fourth quarter. I'm told he came out for precaution, during the kneel-down plays. Joe Noteboom played at the end.

For Rams CB Aqib Talib, it’s an ankle sprain. Source says second opinion coming tomorrow.

Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib both left the win with injuries and any extended absences would leave the Chargers vulnerable at a particularly important spot on their defense.

Peters and Talib are so good that even the Chargers will be hurt by their loss going forward.

The “Fight for L.A.” is something that’s been talked about since the Chargers moved to Los Angeles, and on Sunday, they’ll finally get to face their crosstown rivals, the Rams. It’s their first regular season matchup since 2014 and the first with both teams in L.A., which heightens the excitement.

Uh. Los Angeles has the Dodgers, Angels, Kings, Ducks, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, USC, and UCLA.

Of all those teams, the Chargers are at the bottom. This is a team that cannot sell out their stadium which seats 27,000.

They could leave Los Angeles, and more than half the city would be surprised to learn that they were ever there.

==================

I think the San Diego Chargers had the funnest team in NFL history. That Coryell group. And they had to play by the old-school NFL rules. Back when defenses could actually take yer head off.

I always have a bit of a soft spot in my football-heart for the Chargers because of the memories of that group.

Now that GRITS is in the sky, someone has to take over as board-charger-fan, i spose.

Yeah, they were perhaps the funnest team to watch. You knew any game they played in would be entertaining.

The Brian Sipe Browns were like that too.

With Rivers at QB and Gates at TE, I wonder if the Chargers would attack the Rams the way the Raiders did in the first half of their game? The Rams had no answer for it in the first half.

The Raiders couldn’t sustain it in the second half after Wade’s adjustments, but the Chargers are a lot better offensively than the Raiders, and despite the adjustments, I doubt the weakness that the Raiders exploited is fixed.

I like Cooks better than Watkins.

But what the Rams may miss is Watkins’ downfield blocking ability. I think one of the reasons Gurley rebounded last season and broke off all those long open field runs was because of the improved blocking of his receivers – namely Sammy Watkins. It’s only been two games but he has yet to break off a big run.

I’ve noticed Whitlock rarely has anything good to say about Suh. He says Suh wasn’t giving his full effort last night. Did anyone else get that impression?
