    Two notes now…
    1. Dunn didn’t handle kickoff duties. Our new Punter Ethan Evans… did… interesting.
    2. If Ethan Evans doesn’t work out… This is a 50 yard punt from a high school version of our seventh-round pick, #259, Mr Irrelevant, Desjuan Johnson, DL

    I like to think that, instead of missing the show, maybe he got upgraded seats for that Super Bowl. RIP Ag you have and will be missed here in this community of Rams fans.

    “We will rally around Tutu Atwell and we will play good football”, said no coach ever.

    Rams had 'pretty solid plan' for Tutu Atwell vs. Bills

    One other thing I noticed, and I would like to go back and rewatch to see if it was prevalent, but on several plays Ramsey seemed either out of place, beaten, or not supported by another Ram who was out of position.  I am not a pro, so I don’t want to conclude which, but he did not seem in anyway at his normal level of play.

    His last post was January 13, 2022 at 5:33 pm. He ranked Stafford 5th among 14 playoff QBs.

    I propose on January 13, 2023, we all raise a glass to honor Ag, wherever he may be, likely still enjoying the Rams.

    WR looked thin for sure.

    Where was Robinson. I thought he was going to be the #2?
    I know the Bills were denying the longer options, but does he have no routes on can he not run them?  Only 2 targets on the night.  Not a good look for a guy earning 900k+ a game.

    Never mind, found my own, unhappy answer…

    Salary cap impact of Rams trading Robert Woods

    Save 7.1 and eat 8.6 in dead money.

    So by trading him, this essentially shifts the full contract to the Titans and frees up 15.7MM in 2022, right?  There is no dead money right?

    This was an awful non call.  Game changing.

    It’s where I began thinking we were fated to lose.  Good thing I am not a player hah.

    edit: Well the NFL is blocking the evidence hah

    Something just struck me.  What is it with clutch, big game winning pass plays near the end of the game vs Tampa Bay in the playoffs?

    What about Desean?  I wonder if he enjoyed his 13 receptions over 10 games. 🙂

    Both of the deals (VM and OBJ) have been difference makers.  If Woods had not been injured, I am not sure we would have “required” OBJ, but VM was an extra step that has been a difference maker.  I hope they find some way to resign him next season.

    I’ve not been liking McVay’s tendency to begin calling it conservative way too early in the game.

    I don’t think we will encounter the problem next week, as I expect we will have our backs against the wall most of the game.

    Back in the 90s I worked for a company in Delaware which, as a result of their partnership with the NFL, had tickets to every game at every stadium. I was frequently able to get access to these tickets for the Rams because, well, they were the Rams in the 90s. Being the masochist I was, I usually tried to get the 49ers game, because every year, “this was going to be the year.” I was at this game in 99. This was the year. 🙂

    My reaction to the GB game… grand disappointment.

    We are running a 4 game losing streak to teams with a > 500 record, and are 1-4 against winning teams overall.

    Grand disappointment.

    I am most annoyed that Jackson couldn’t suck it up for another 10 games. That is a terrible lack of resilience. A more mature professional would have just collected a paycheck, moved on at the end of the season, and not created this self-gratifying drama. That a player cannot even honor a one year deal is ridiculous.

    I do not need to have attended workouts or “every game in a region” to know that a WR who has recently weighed in under 150 pounds, is not a second round draft pick.

    Trent, the excusologist, lost me less than 90 seconds in to the video.

    “I’m just excited to be somewhere that I know wants me and appreciates me” …

    I guess a $134-million contract, which made you the 5th highest paid player in 2020, wasn’t enough appreciation? It certainly wasn’t enough to warrant or expect top five play on his part. Good luck Jared. See you on the schedule in 2021.

    Personally I would have been more overjoyed for the Aaron Rodgers scenario, even give his age. I think we have 1-3 years to make this squad composition deliver, before age and departures shift the opportunity. I remember how quickly it all changed between 1999 and 2001, and I don’t think this team is much different, although maybe the degradation will come from more reasons. So be it Stafford or Rodgers, win now.

    I am just realizing Goff essentially cost the Rams nine draft picks:

    • Four first-round pick (2016,2017, 2022, 2023)
    • Two second-round picks (2016, 2016)
    • Three third-round picks (2016, 2017, ?)

    Six on the way in and three to unload him.

    He seems like a nice guy, so I wish him well, but ouch.

    I get that you can do that, but given that we just lost a playoff game in which arguably it was not our Ds best performance, that would suck if his attention was not 100% on game.

    FWIW, publicly the Chargers are saying they interviewed him today, so yet another post where my opinion / concern is moot. This is becoming a trend.

    Avatar photoRamsMaineiac
    Keymaster

    I don’t think McVay is envious per se, but he knows what he has.

    In looking at the eight QBs for teams that made this round of the playoffs, where would you put Goff? I think it would be hard to argue that Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, and Brees aren’t in a completely different tier than Goff. At best you might say Allen, Mayfield and Jackson are even, but I’m not sure. Its just disappointing. The OL is clearly a huge priority, but I don’t see Goff ever reaching the level of those top QBs and we sure did dedicate that level of cap to the position.

    All this said, we are stuck with him, and at a minimum I will concede he is better than average, so replacing him with an upgrade, given the lack of picks and cap is going to be impossible, so my opinion is moot.

    How does that happen so quickly after our playoff loss. When did they interview him and/or other options, during playoff week practices?
