I hope that means we see more of this.

Yeah, I like Barwin but I was hoping to see more sack production out of the OLBs. Here’s hoping that Ebukam makes it difficult for Barwin to get back on the field after he recovers.

I want another Kevin Greene.

Plus there’s evidence to suggest that the asteroid impact ‘reignited’ the volcanism in the Deccan region of India on the other side of the world. The force of the impact traveled through the earth and ‘rerouted the plumbing’ which intensified the volcanic activity in the Deccan area causing the release of huge amounts of climate changing gasses.

It was speculated that the volcanic activity that occurred in this region 66 million years ago caused the mass extinction long before we knew of an asteroid impact. The fact that the volcanism in the Deccan region of India happened to intensify at the same time that an asteroid struck on the direct opposite side of the earth is just too big of a coincidence. It had to be linked.

India is almost directly opposite of the asteroid’s impact site in the Yucatan Peninsula. Perhaps if the asteroid had struck elsewhere, or at a more oblique angle, the force of the impact would have been less, or maybe it would have been directed away from the highly volcanic Deccan region?

Either scenario probably would have meant that at least some of the non-avian dinos would have survived.

As the season wears on, I’m becoming less and less impressed with Tyrunn Walker. They ran into his gap on that 25 yard run. I don’t think he is a fit for NT. He gets moved out of the hole too easily.

I’ve been wondering, since we got beat by Minnesota. Media will keep saying we can’t beat the good teams. The teams that have winning record. The Saints have a much better team than Minnesota, and a better QB.

Minnesota beat the Saints the first game of the season.

i liked fisher. if he could have found a coordinator worth his salt like vermeil did before 99, i think we coulda seen a similar turnaround to the one we are seeing this year. maybe not quite the fireworks we’re seeing right now and maybe not exactly 7-2 but close.

I agree with that.

as it is i wouldn’t trade mcvay for any of that. i think mcvay is the better decision now and for the long-term. he’s squeezing every bit of potential out of the offense, and i like sonofbum more than i like gregg.

I don’t know Wade personally but it’s hard to picture him paying players to injure other players.

Jack, if the Rams split the next four games they could still finish 12-4 which would probably make them NFC West champs and get them a first round by in the playoffs. They would certainly have a decent chance to go to the Super Bowl.

The way the Saints and Eagles are playing, there is no way we are getting a 1st round bye. They probably will finish 13-3 at worse. We can’t beat the Saints and/or Eagles in theie stadiums.

Right now the Rams are playing just as well as the Saints and Eagles. Those teams have just as much reason to fear the Rams as the Rams have to fear them. And the Rams can beat the Saints and Eagles in their buildings. If the Rams have to travel in the playoffs it won’t be the end of the world.

Over the next 4 weeks, we play 3 teams that lead their divisions in the NFC. Two of them are at home. I feel, in the next 4 weeks, we need to go at least 3-1 to be considered a legit Super Bowl contender.

I’d be happy with 2-2. Still in good shape if they split those games.

If we go 2-2, we would not be a Super Bowl threat from the NFC.

McVay just won his 7th game.

But until he proves he can do that year in and year out, I feel any comparisons to Jeff Fisher are premature.

32. Los Angeles Rams
2017 Offensive Coordinator: Matt LaFleur

Outside of running back Todd Gurley, the Los Angeles Rams are an absolute wasteland of an offense.

In 2016, quarterback Jared Goff showed nothing in his few appearances his rookie season, and his weapons for this season are nowhere near elite when you look at wide receivers Tavon Austin, Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and tight ends Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee.

As mentioned before, Gurley is the only bright spot, but how do you expect him to get anything going if the rest of the team around him is what is outlined above? Those opposing defenses could play 10 in the box if they wanted to.

The Rams offense is definitely the worst in football.

100 percent.

That guy should have his license to practice sports journalism revoked.

A man would have to be blind not to have foreseen the rebirth of the Rams offense this season.

The signs were all there to see last season. One only had to look.

I remember watching one of Goff’s pick sixes last year and thinking to myself, “Soon. Soon those TDs will be going the other way.”

Any fool could see it.

The next time the Rams lose, it will be to a team that is better than they are, not to a team that is AS good, or inferior.

So, you’re implying it’s possible for a team to be AS good or even BETTER than the Rams?!

Gawd, I wish Rams players visited this site. Your posts would make excellent bulletin board fodder for the upcoming Seahawks game.

Wow. Don’t know why it makes me sad.

Wasted potential. You won’t find a more athletically gifted LT.

But to play effectively at the NFL level you need a command of the technique, and that’s where he failed.

I think I’d rather face a rusty Bridgewater than Keenum right now.
