i cant believe this was a real SNL sketch. But apparently, it was.
============

Here's another SNL example, from 1998: The show ran this about the corporate media censoring things but then excised it from all repeat airings of the show. NBC also prevents it from being posted on YouTube. Ie, jokes about being censored were censored. https://t.co/8FCZom0p44

Anybody watched that Undefeated team?

I have no idea if the Steelers are some sorta covid-mirage, or if they are then next
67 Packers.

Why are they winning?

Damn. Belichick vs McVay. I dunno.

Normally, i would just go with Belichick, hands down. But this Staley defense is capable of winning games. If the offense doesnt lose it.

Very interesting game. Its basically a playoff game for the Pats.

I believe in the Rams Defense, but i dont believe in their offense so much. The two games against Shannahan kilt my faith in the offense.

I’ll go with Aaron Donald and Staley, just cuz I’m a ram-fan:

Rams 17
Pats 16

The fumble by Goff at the end of his run was dreadful. Just dreadful. I totally understand McVay’s reaction after the game.

I dont like to pile on Goff, but that play alone gives him an “F” for that game.
That was one of the worst plays I’ve seen a Ram QB make. Ever.
I still cant believe that one.

Goff can still have a good year. The NFC does not have a dominant team.

You know everytime i see Dallas they look terrible. But I remember that first game and the Rams had their hands full.

I just think its who McVay is. I think the media thinks of him as a gunslinger but he’s not. He just seems like a very sound offensive mind, but he’s not like Don Coryell or somethin. Run the ball. Short passes. Lots of quick screens. Focus on execution.

Plus i think he knows Goff’s weaknesses and he is not about to risk strip-sacks.
He’d rather trust the Defense, with Donald, Ramsey and company.

At some point, down the road, in the playoffs, in the fourth quarter, on third and long, the game will be in Goff’s hands. We’ll see what happens.

Yeah, I think it’s an adjustment. I think he would be happy to throw deep a couple of times a game, but 1) they don’t have a traditional deep threat WR. They’re all footwork guys with precise routes and good hands. 2) the dirtier Goff’s jersey, the less effective he is. He’s not Kurt Warner. So McVay does what works. And this works.

==============
Yeah, and McVay knows exactly what Goff does best. And Goff has done a fine job of running this offense. Martz would have gotten Goff killed a long time ago. McVay is the opposite. He protects Goff with this offense, and he plays to Goffs’ strengths.

For me, whats been most impressive about this years version of Goff is those rollout-throws. That kid can throw darts on the run, off-balance. I trust him completely out of the pocket.

love watching this defense.

but mcvay has to stay aggressive. i know he trusts the defense. but he can’t keep putting them in bad situations. there was a point where the rams could have put this game away, and they literally almost gave it away.

rams are 5th in total offense but only 17th in scoring. are they just not finishing drives?

Yes, that’s the main area of concern for me, too. Not finishing. I can’t put a finger on it, but they don’t seem as potent offensively as I expected them to be with the healthy, maturing OL.

However, the Rams seem to be improving. And their defense will keep them in games.
