wvParticipantDrake Maye is on the Offensive Player of the Year ballot. Not Stafford. Interesting. Does it mean they want to throw Drake a bone because he didnt win MVP?
wvParticipantSeahawks general manager John Schneider was at mass and prayed the Baltimore Ravens would lose in the AFC Championship Game so he could meet with defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald for their head coaching vacancy.

Second words : Why was he open like that.wvParticipantEven Bears players were impressed with the Davante catch.
Has there been a ‘better’ pass-and-catch by a Ram ?
Puka has made some great catches. Ellard made some great ones over the middle back when that was downright dangerous. Jack Snow made some good ones i still remember.
I dunno…I might have to put the Stafford/Davante play at the top of my own personal list.
Its either that one or the Proehl pass/catch.wvParticipantBtw, Brady shows several Stafford passes in that list of best throws.
w
vwvParticipantBrady says the best throw of his career was against…the rams…
wvParticipantSo who gets to decide? Paul Tagliabue? Pete Rozelle?
A ‘panel.’
“The NFL MVP is chosen by
a panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters who regularly cover the league, selected by the Associated Press (AP). These media members cast their votes at the end of the regular season, before the playoffs, and the winner is announced at the NFL Honors ceremonyEach of the 50 voters ranks their top five players for the award.
A weighted points system is used to determine the winner:First-place votes are worth 10 points.
Second-place votes are worth 5 points.
Third-place votes are worth 3 points.
Fourth-place votes are worth 2 points.
Fifth-place votes are worth 1 point.The votes are tallied, and the player with the highest total score wins the award. The results are announced at the annual NFL Honors ceremony. ”

vwvParticipantAdam Grosbard@AdamGrosbard
Rams QB Matthew Stafford has been named NFL MVP by the Pro Football Writers AssociationI wasnt sure what that meant. Had to look it up. So the official NFL MVP thing is still pending.
But still, thats a great honor for Stafford.
w
vwvParticipantPlayoff talk. Nick Wright is a Stafford lover, Bomani has generally been a stafford-hater.
wvParticipant…and Durant just didn’t get the trajectory right in the split second,
Credit McVay for getting the team to be a goldfish. Forget it. Be present. Be now. Go get ’em.
Maybe Durant just couldnt conceive of the fact that Caleb could rocket the ball, that high, that far. I dunno.
Anyway. Yeah, credit McVay and the Rams for not counting their chickens before the horse was beaten.
w
vwvParticipantThe tv-brains at CBS ranked the four possible super bowls:
4th – Broncos v Seahawks
3rd – Broncos v Rams
2nd – Pats v Seahawks
Best – Pats v RamsThey did not want a back-up QB in the Super Bowl, thus the anti-denver ranking.

vJanuary 21, 2026 at 11:24 am in reply to: Chicago game…tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #161531wvParticipantLooks to me like Durant just misread the trajectory of the ball.
I’d love to hear Durant’s perspective on this. But yeah, definitely. I mean, part of it is the push-off, but its the kind of push-off that happens on most plays. It doesnt explain the play fully. I mean an instant AFTER the ball is released the receiver does NOT go to where the ball is heading — he instead zigs to right, away from the ball. (I guess he is trying to draw the CB away from the ball or maybe he just hasnt picked up the trajectory of the ball, himself. I dunno). But the ball is SO F’ing high in the air, that the receiver then zags back toward the ball. The DB had plenty of time to close the space. But the DB just kinda stands there, seemingly lost.
I dunno. Its such an iconic play, i hope some tv-celebrity interviews both players at some point. I’m just curious about it. Its an odd ending to a hail-mary, imho.

vwvParticipant“We don’t think about that last game too much,” Rams safety Kam Curl said, via Sam Farmer of The Los Angeles Times. “[Seattle] got lucky and won it in the end. I feel like we’re the better team.”
“It’s going to be a dogfight,” he added.January 21, 2026 at 10:19 am in reply to: Chicago game…tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #161523wvParticipantwvParticipantAngle 427. This might actually be the best angle of the CB and Receiver.
wvParticipant2 analysts on this show say they voted for Drake Maye.
wvParticipant“Rams have had only 1 first round pick in the last nine years”
CowherdThey’ve only traded away 6 actual first-rd-spots since the Goff pick. Still, its gotta be the only team in the NFL to do that.
Wonder what they are planning to do with two first round picks this year?
2014 – Greg Robinson, Aaron Donald
2015 Todd Gurley
2016 J Goff
2017 traded to titans for goff
2018 traded to pats for B.Cooks
2019 traded to falcons for more picks
2020 traded to jags for J Ramsey
2021 traded to jags for j ramsey
2022 traded to lions for Stafford
2023 traded to lions for stafford
2024 Jared Verse
2025 traded to falcons for picksw
vwvParticipantA birds-eye angle on the miracle-throw
wvParticipantChris Long spec-u-lates
wvParticipantannieagar: “I guess it is pretty wide, right?”
damn
w
vwvParticipantSee this is what I mean. Those are all blitzes, and except for the first play, the one that pisses Warner off, they handle them all–they get yardage from Stafford seeing the “hot read” on blitzes. I mentioned one of these plays earlier–it’s the one where Puka is the hot read and catches it at about 7:14 into the vid.
Yes, but you ignored the part where Kurt said “those goddamn rams.”
w
vwvParticipantKurt: “I believe the Rams pressure-plan in the Chicago game won them the game”
wvParticipantIf true (and it’s not) it means that…
Well, she said something different in this vid. This time she said ‘until the fourth quarter, when 1 or more DBs blitzed, Stafford went 0 for 7 with three sacks…”
wvParticipantYeah, I wanna see this “reporter’s cellphone” angle. From what I saw, I wouldn’t have flagged that for offensive pass interference.
Unless the receiver was Puka Nacua. I mean, fuck that guy.
The iphone vid has a mysterious ‘gap’ much like the watergate tapes.
January 20, 2026 at 11:16 am in reply to: Chicago game…tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #161489wvParticipantKurt: “This leaves me a bit confused”
wvParticipantFootnote to this: the Bears’ offense is set. It’s young, under contract, and going to improve. They actually have a surplus at WR and could trade one. They need an Edge, a rangey LB, and a really good CB. That’s all doable this off season.
Yeah the Bears fans should have a fun team for years to come.
I for one will be rooting for the Cardinals. I want all four NFC West teams to make the playoffs next year.
w
vwvParticipantThe receiver, a Rams TE, physically pushed Durant away. Durant couldn’t keep his eyes on the TE and CW at the same time. Any decent clip of that play will include the TE pushing Durant after they hand fight a bit.
I dunno. It looked like a rather ‘mild’ pushoff to me. It would not account for how FAR the Rams CB ended from the Bears receiver. There was a F’ing mile of separation.
