The Rams will burn the Jets like a book in wv’s oven.

I think it’s telling that the only climate skeptics on earth are in this country and in the Republican Party. As stupid as denying the evidence is, I could almost admire their tenacity if not for the fact that they couldn’t care less if climate change was happening or not. These are not deeply principled men sticking by their guns, they are greedy fucks that are willing to unleash an environmental catastrophe so as not to dampen their profits.

I agree with all the above, and WV’s comments. Yep. The only silver lining is the end of the Clinton dynasty.

But the know-nothings are now in charge of all three branches of government, and you can bet they’re going stack the courts all across the country as well as SCOTUS.

If I had the money to do so, I’d leave right now in a heartbeat for Europe. I’m still hoping to retire there in a few years.

We’ve now entered what may be known as the anti-intellectualism era of American history.

If there was a god I’d be praying for it to save us at this point.

SF Win
Arizona Loss

I dont like this team.

Have i mentioned that. I dont like it.

Jets should be a good shot at a W…they barely outlasted Cleveland.
Miami should also be a legit shot at a W. Their O is almost as out of synch as is the Rams…might be a 6-3 ball game.
Saints game is gonna be a rematch of the Lions game with a different outcome.
Pats and ATL both are gonna be a longshot to pull off.
Seattle is struggling…they just brought Percy from his couch…it is winnable but will be a fight…could go either way.
SF and AZ both wins

6-2 the rest of the way.

I doubt they’ll go 6-2 but I agree that most of them are winnable games.

And nobody, not even the Pats ‘wants’ to play the Rams. Even if they think they will likely win the game, they still don’t want to play them. I think in our misery we forget that this team isn’t a pushover. They could beat almost anybody, and even in the games they don’t win they usually manage to beat the hell out of the other team.

Fisher supported Keenum in postgame presser. Said loss wasn’t on him. Said he didn’t hear chants for Goff. @CVRamsClub #CARvsLA

Fisher has developed a blind spot with Keenum.

At this point it shouldn’t matter if the loss doesn’t solely fall on him.

He may not be the reason they’re losing, but he’s not helping them win either.

Start another QB. I would prefer that it be Goff because he is the future – I mean, obviously they didn’t see Mannion as the future or they wouldn’t have traded away next year’s draft for Goff, right?

But start another QB. Mannion, Goff, somebody.

And this isn’t a knock on Keenum. I like him as a back-up QB and would like to have him back next season. But he isn’t the right QB for an offense that has to rely solely on the QB to move the ball.

Goff has those kinda skills. Let’s see what he can do. And nobody is expecting Goff to shine. Personally I expect he’ll be really inconsistent. He’ll likely look really bad at times but we’ll also see flashes of what he can/will be. The playoffs are gone so I don’t see a downside to the kid playing now.

So, why couldnt they beat a mediocre team at home, after a bye, in a must-win game ?

Well the Panthers may not be a mediocre team. It is essentially the same team that went to the Super Bowl last season. It looked like they got their groove back last week against the Cards. But the Rams have failed to live up to everyone’s expectations including Fisher’s. At some point he has to be held accountable.

Well the playoffs are gone. Might as well start Goff. Manion may be more ready but obviously he’s not their guy or they wouldn’t have traded next year’s draft for Goff.

Throw the percentages out the window when it comes to the Rams. They are now 2 for 8 on 4th down. I’m guessing thats well below the league avwrage

Keenum is not making it easy for
His supporters. 3 batted balls and he misses a wide open Quick for a TD

Timely punt

Famous FB meme…

Another issue: The FB(facebook)ization of media, news, information. Heard a discussion on BBC radio this morning, caught just waking up. So I didn’t get all of it. But it hit me as one of those “duh” things, and provoked more thought beyond what they were saying.

Algorithms. Riffing off the Netflix idea of personal likes and dislikes generating suggestions for other films and TV, etc. We’re heading toward a day when the only sources we consume will be on our likes list, or those the algorithms suggest. Which obviously means folks will build their own little bubbles, and won’t venture beyond them.

The Black Mirror series sorta touches on this stuff.

One aspect of the Facebook-ization of media that is really disconcerting is the endless list of agenda driven “news” producers that inundate news feeds with bogus stories. Seems like there are thousands of them representing libertarian, tea-party, conservative and liberal viewpoints and most of their ‘news articles’ or memes are patently and sometimes ridiculously false yet they are swallowed up like a Gino’s cheesesteak as the truth. And these fictional articles are being paraded around as proof in social media political arguments. It’s frightening how easily people are duped by this stuff. Whenever I see one of these shared stories in my newsfeed I just post the snopes.com refutation and move on.

People are just not willing to view a claim with a discerning eye when it supports their belief system no matter how ridiculous it is.
