    Ag!

    Welcome back! You have been sorely missed.

    So if you don’t know yet, the Rams lost to the Falcons.

    On a brighter note, North Korea will be sending a team to the Winter Olympics…

    Thanks, all.

    I do consider you all, strangers who I have never met in person but kindred souls on this board to be part of my extended family.

    If only Cooper didn’t muff that punt…

    At least my baseball team is the front runner. World Series or bust for the Yankees this year. I may do opening day.

    Agreed. Rather play the Falcants than the Panthers.

    If I could tell the future, I’d say Rams win, beat the Vikings the next week, Saints win, beat the Eagles the next week, NFC Conference Championship at LA… Who knows from there.

    Ha! ZN, our posts must have crossed.

    If and when the Eagles lose in this year’s playoff’s, they are going to blame the Rams.

    Jack, you are right, but you got the order wrong.

    Rams beat the Eagles in the “Fog Bowl”.

    Rams beat the Giants in the “Flipper runs down the tunnel Bowl”.

    Then Rams lose to SF in the “Phantom Sack Bowl”….

    I converse with a group of Philly fans on a weekly basis. They work for a large multi-national and the discussion centers around electronic components for use in satellites, but we do at times discuss sports, especially after Wentz’ injury (they know I’m a Rams fan).

    Their overall feeling was something like that was just bound to happen, because, well, it’s the Eagles. They have had their hearts broken, dare I say it, even more than Ram’s fans. At least in the last 30 years. I say that because they have had some very good teams that just never made it over the hump to win a Super Bowl.

    The Rams added to their misery in the past; remember the “Fog Bowl”? And we just so happened to be the team they were playing when there QB got KO’d.

    They have got the Mel Brooks “Hope for the best, expect the worst” mentality. I understand why they think the Rams are tanking to get another shot at them again; it’s just in their make-up. I’m sure most of them have already written off a chance to get to the Super Bowl, now they are looking for the justification.

    in reply to: what do YOU think of McV resting the starters? #79711

    Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario. I’d like to see them run the same O and try and highlight Mannion. Hey, if he really plays good, we may get a decent draft pick for him.

    in reply to: Should the Rams rest their starters against the 9ers? #79575
    TSRF
    Participant

    I want a smack down in the first half. Then take the starters our. Whether or not we win is not important; the fat that we beat them down in the 1st half will set the tone for next year (when the 9ers may be our toughest division rival).

    I like the 4th seed better and here is why: If things go according to plan (home teams winning in the wildcard round), the 3rd seed plays the Vikings, the 4th seed plays the Eagles.

    Who would you rather play? Me, I’d rather play Nick Foles and the Eagles.

    The flipside being, if we stay at 3 and beat the Vikings and the Saints or whoever beat the Eagles, we’d get the NFC Championship Game at home in LA.

    Would still rather be 4…

    3rd Seed? I’m so in. I was hoping / dreaming of a Wild Card this year. The fact that we are getting a home playoff game puts them well ahead of where I thought we’d be.

    House money from here on out.

    Winter Solstice until Summer Solstice: 365 / 2. So 182.5 days.

    I agree next week is a MUST WIN.

    I disagree on the TJ call; he CAN’T do that shit and allow the refs the option to throw that flag. I think we lost the game right there and then.

    BTW, I blame Fisher and Williams for these lapses in control. You don’t see the Patriots D doing this type of crap (Gronk is another story).

    Jack, I do agree that Stokley has a great voice and the tune has a nice beat, but it just isn’t my cup of tea (where’s the brooding?).

    Nittany…I can’t take kids seriously as musicians. I mean, do you think she even knows how to roll a joint? I don’t think so.

    ZN, your video is missing something huge. His name is Roger Waters. (I’m being a hypocrite here because I did go and see the Waters-less Division Bell tour, but after seeing Roger do The Wall a few years back and again on tour this year, there is no doubt in my mind that Roger rules).

    Hey, Herzog, not sure what you mean by this:

    “The Patriots most likely have been doing this for years.”

    If you mean cheating, then I wholeheartedly agree!

    This is a very good sign, IMO:

    One low-key impressive thing about Sean McVay: when Rams lose, he publicly heaps criticism on himself. When they win, he deflects all praise to players and assistants. Never excuses, never bravado.

    A sign of a great leader.

    Even though I realize this may get me banned from this pie loving board, and I’ve been banned from places almost this nice in the past, there’s only one type of pie I like.

    I miss the Saints as division rivals. They were a very good D in the mid to late ’80’s / early ’90’s.

    They’re on quite a roll at the moment. I was hoping Washington was going to beat them last week, but maybe that is for the best.

    I think the Rams win a nail biter.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    This is the first year we are true empty-nesters, so it is great to have both kids home (Even though I had to drive them both home from Boston Tuesday night; 6 hours for what is usually a 2.5 hr drive).

    I don’t buy the argument that he only had back-up QB’s in 2016.

    Look how good Goff AND Keenum are doing this year…

    I was glad when Fisher was hired, I liked the swagger he brought to the D, but over the years, the O just rotted under him.

    I wonder what Fisher thinks when he watches Rams games. I wonder what Martz thinks too.

    I gave up DirecTV a few years ago (when the first one started college), stuck with the cable network offerings. Here in Metro NY, that is Jets – Bucs and Saints – Bills.

    Here in CT, we were on the rain side. You in Maine were on the wind side.

    My dentist, as he drilled and drilled Monday morning, said he thought they had gotten 7 inches of rain at their house. Just got cable / internet back, but I do have a back-up hot spot which came in handy all day yesterday.

    Hope you have some dry wood handy; supposed to get cold this week.

    WV… was that a rhetorical question?

    There is this thing called “ESPN” where you can look up a game or a team or a player and see their stats.

    Kind of blew my mind too, but it is out there.
