wvParticipantYeah, Cooks aint gonna make many contested catches. I thought it was a good call, based on how the rules are inter-pre-tated theze days.
didn’t ahkello witherspoon get an int on a similar play?
seahawks look good.
I dont remember the ahkello play, but i do remember why Brandon Cooks has been jettisoned by so many teams — good dude, tries hard, good team-mate, lots of speed, but the guy just doesnt make plays in traffic very often. Plays very small.
w
vwvParticipantSeahawks get 41 points — on 281 yards of total offense. Darnold had 124 yards passing on 12 for 17.
Time of possession was 31 to 28.3 Turnovers for SF. Zero for seattle.

vwvParticipantBo Nix is out for the year.
So whoever wins the NE/HOU game tomorrow is going to the Super Bowl.
So… go New England?
Damn.
That sucks. Ruins the AFC championship game. Might even ruin the Super Bowl if Denver manages to win one more.
The media will not like this. If he was gonna get himself injured, he should have had the decency to lose the game.
w
vwvParticipantWell….it took Jim Plunkett nine years before he won a ring. Ah well.
wvParticipant49ers down 17-0.
If SF is to lose, I would just as soon they get smoked like a sausage in a refinery conflagration.

vwvParticipantAnother gut-wrenching loss for Buffalo. Former Ram Brandin Cooks has the ball taken from him, and then former Ram Tre’Davious White commits a terrible DPI.
Yeah, Cooks aint gonna make many contested catches. I thought it was a good call, based on how the rules are inter-pre-tated theze days.
I watched that play five times though, and it looked to me like Josh underthrew it. It wouldnt have been contested if he had hit Cooks in stride.
I would probably fire the Bills coach, myself. He’s torturing Bills fans. Better to be 7 and 10 and miss the playoffs than go through the playoff-curse-thing every year. They should hire Marv Levy.
w
vwvParticipant30-30. Overtime in Denver. Nice way to start the playoffs.
w
vwvParticipantBills have 4 turnovers in three quarters. How are they still in this game?
I think i want Denver to win, because i think they would do better against the Pats.
I do have a soft-spot for the Bills though. That team is cursed.

So…setting up the Bears game thread #161246wvParticipantOkay, but what ya’ll are skipping over is that it hasn’t been very cold in Chicago yet. Nobody in Chicago has had to knock ice crystals out of their beards since sometime in early 2025. So they’re maybe acclimatized to some highs in the 40s – which is cooler than the 60s or 70s, whatever it is in LA right now – but the first “frozen beard” day is this coming Saturday.
They aren’t acclimated either.
Well, all I know is, they wouldnt have this problem if the Rams had stayed
in Cleveland.w

So…setting up the Bears game thread #161244wvParticipantit’s not just playing in it. it’s just going about your day – day after day. will it be colder than usual? yes. but it’s just different when you come from a place like la to a place like chicago. those lake michigan winds will be unkind.
In a year where there’s 4 teams in each conference only separated by a point or two, the no.1 seed thing makes such a difference. Its not just ‘playing at home,’ its more like NOT playing in Moose-country.
I wonder which special teams unit will fuk up this week? I think its the kickoff coverage unit’s turn.

vJanuary 15, 2026 at 7:07 pm in reply to: Rams next game? Chicago! So…setting up the Bears game thread #161241wvParticipanta lot of rams influencers/pundits are getting really defensive about the weather factor. i don’t understand why. it’s a factor. the rams play in la which has really mild weather. bears players play in these conditions. it’s an advantage. hopefully, the rams can overcome it.
All the ex-players ive seen talk about it, have said its a big factor. Tom Brady for one, talked about getting ‘softer’ when he was in Tampa Bay.
Its an advantage for Chicago. Just like it was for Philly last year. Doesnt mean the Rams cant win, but I’m still surprised at the point spread. Though it has come down from 4.5 to 3.5 I’ve heard.
I hope Matt Lefleur is helping McVay with some insight on the Bears.

vwvParticipantI’m not sure they can do that. They do have some cap space, but then the rookie contracts for the entire draft class of 2023 run out in 2026. Think how many players that represents. Avila, Young, Turner, Nacua, McClendon, & Evans the punter. Maybe Bennett too. And Dotson’s contract is done after 26. They can replace the punter but the rest are hard choices. It just looks like they will need to sign their own guys w/ little or no money to spare on outside FAs.
Well, my bet is they do a deal or two they might not ordinarily do. Just a hunch.

Shades of Bud Grant.
w
vwvParticipanti would not pick a qb in this year’s draft. i’m hoping stafford continues playing for the rams for awhile longer anyways.
Yeah, probly not. Depends on a lot of things we dont know about, of course.
It sure looks to me, like they are likely to ‘go all in’ next year. I mean they are set up next year. Draft an Olineman and a couple of corners and sign a key free agent or two and they are set for a run at the no.1 seed.
Shore-up the secondary. Maybe grab a key special teams free agent. Always need an Olineman.
Very do-able.
Course Seattle and the 49ers should ALSO be better next year. Ah well.

wvParticipantWhat the hell is that supposed to mean?
Natural regression? Don’t we assume improvement through experience? Isn’t THAT natural?
Or is it lowest-paid? If those guys were richer, they wouldn’t allow as many points?
They’ve trickled down. You cant argue with immutable god-given laws of science.
