    People worried about Quinn. Would Quinn be his old productive self? Turns out–he’s not. AND it doesn’t matter. Rams are 5th in sacks anyway.

    I’m still holding out hope (albeit fading) that he has a bigger impact as he gains more experience in his new role.

    If that doesn’t happen I guess it will be hard to justify his salary given his limited production.

    Of course, anything can happen in the NFL but the Rams should destroy the G-men. If the Rams just bring their B- game they should win.

    That’s the one stadium in the North East I’ve never visited.

    I think the Rams could win this game fairly easily. The Card’s o-line is terrible and Palmer has sloth-like mobility. Their defense has been pretty bad as well. On paper this should be a slaughter.

    Which means the Rams will probably find a way to lose.

    Nevertheless, I’m gonna say: Rams 34, Cards 17.

    Plus…it’s well-known that Fitzgerald and Palmer are at the age where jet lag really takes a toll physically. It’s questionable whether they will even make it to the stadium.

    Plus, I hear that BBC Four is planning a “Last of the Summer Wine” marathon this weekend. If they happen to catch part of that there’s a good chance they won’t even make the flight home.

    Yeah, the Rams don’t really have a home field advantage. The greater LA area has a population of 18 million people. It’s hard to believe with a population of that size you can’t find 60,000 people who want to go to a football game.

    Overall, I’m glad they are back in LA. That’s where they were when I became a fan and most of my fondest memories of the Rams were formed there. But I’m not sure even winning will fill that stadium. I’m not sure LA cares enough or ever will. It’s not a knock on LA. Other than a few thousand diehards, it’s not like the city campaigned to get the Rams back.

    But I find the lack of interest odd. There’s less than a million people in the greater Pittsburgh area but if the Steelers built a 300,000 seat stadium they’d fill it.

    goff got through a really rough stretch of 2 games and looked… ok.

    keep telling myself gotta be patient…

    So, how have defenses been able to slow down Goff?

    Are they taking away his primary target and he’s having trouble getting through his progressions?

    Is he locking on?

    Or is it mostly a matter of playing really good defenses?

    Tough scrappy win against a great defense.

    Defenses have figured out how to limit the Rams passing game.

    Fortunately they don’t have to face the Seahawks’ and Jaguars’ defense every week.

    2017 record: 3-2
    Week 5 ranking: No. 16

    16.2 percent chance. That percentage might seem low for a 3-2 Rams team, but keep in mind that they currently rank 25th in efficiency, according to FPI. And despite his improvements, Jared Goff ranks just 15th in Total QBR through five weeks.

    What is this “efficiency” stat and why should I care about it?

    A little more air under that throw, and he would have had it. I see all responsibility for the incompletion directed at Kupp, but I think Goff threw it too hard. Kupp could have caught it, maybe. It would have been an outstanding catch. He was open, and with a touch less tabasco on that, the Rams would be all anyone talked about yesterday.

    That’s what I originally thought when it happened. But the more I look at it…I dunno…he shoulda’ caught it.

    I saw it the other night.

    It’s very good.

    It’s also a little weird and unexpected. The trailers would have you think it’s an action movie. It is not.

    It’s also not like the first movie. It doesn’t have the “Sam Spade” movie vibe of the original.

    Because it’s so different may explain why it’s not doing well at the box office.

    But it’s very much worth seeing. My wife, who was sorta ‘meh’ about the original, LOVED this film.

    Not could be tough…will be tough.

    Great defense, good running game. Passing game about what you’d expect with Blake Bortles at QB.

    This is no gimmee.

    The Rams have issues scoring TDs in the redzone. That was an issue for McVay in Washington too, wasn’t it? That’s something McVay still hasn’t figured out.

    What do you care? Amish don’t have TVs anyway.

    Seriously though, is this the league or the networks behind the push to make sure the Cowboys are seen by as many people as possible every week?

    Maybe it’s both, but you wouldn’t think the league would be happy to promote the perception that the only teams that matter are the Cowboys, Packers and Steelers.

    Well, I get that. It’s hard to trust a team when there’s a perception that they can’t stop the run.

    As far as the Rams go, I think it’s more “haven’t” than “can’t” meaning I think they’ll get better. There’s been flashes, but I guess we’ll see.

    That’s what I thought at first, but the thing is I love the white horned helmets. The entire ensemble looks ok when they are wearing their white jerseys because there isn’t a lot of gold on the jersey anyway.

    Different angle, but the year to year reminds me a bit of Vermeil 1998 vs Vermeil 1999. From 285 to 526 points. Same coach, but nearly as significant a turnaround.

    This season does have sort of a 99 vibe, doesn’t it?

    If the defense improves they’ll be unbeatable.

    The Rams trailed 19-14 in the fourth quarter when Slater and his fellow offensive linemen gave Ferragamo seemingly an eternity to find an open receiver. Ferragamo stepped up and drilled a pass over the middle to Billy Waddy for a 50-yard touchdown.

    “We gave him a good length of time to make a good decision,” Slater said.

    The Rams held on for a victory that finally moved them past a longtime nemesis.

    “It was so monumental,” defensive back Nolan Cromwell said. “We finally got over the hump.”

    The game was the last for Roger Staubach, the Cowboys’ Hall of Fame quarterback.

    The last pass of Staubach’s HOF career fell harmlessly to the turf as Jack Youngblood drove him into the concrete floor of Texas Stadium.

    What an awesome game.
