Well, i dont see any reason to pick the Rams, given the last two Eagle-Ram games and seeing-as-how its an east-coast-pandemic-game.

I think Wentz will throw deep, and throw deep often.
I think the Rams will score on a Strip-sack.

Not sold on the Rams. I’m gonna go with the Eagles by 3:

Eagles 20
Rams 17

Watched the second-half.

After watching the big-controversial-penalty in the final minute, I have to say Ramsey made a hell-uva-play. He was beaten like a drum. The WR barely touched him. But he sold the ‘penalty’ perfectly. I mean it was a puuuurfect sell-job. I had to see it three times in slo-mo before i realized that Ramsey’s
backwards-reaction did not quite match up with the actual ‘push’ by the WR. Just a truly brilliant veteran play by the DB.

Ramsey cheated. Effectively. Excellent work to win the inaugural game in the five-billion-dollar post-modern corporate monstrosity.

Oline — The Oline played well as far as run-blocking. Fine job.
Cant say they played well pass-blocking. Any high-school OLine can pass-block for the dink-dunk-screen game. So, i dont give them credit for that.
In the second half when it was third and long — the OLine failed. Not a good sign.
I think I’ve decided that is my ‘test’ for a good OLine – how did they do, in the clutch on third and medium/long?

The Defense was good, but not great. Not a single turnover.

I love Kupp being the punt-returner. In Kupp I trust.

What can ya say about Robert Woods. He’s Mr Dependable. He’s Henry Ellard.

No Injuries. Whats up with that?

Great Win.

The Eagles have given the Rams problems during the McV era. Why is that?

…Walker was arrested on charges of battery and obstructing law enforcement officers and ordered held without bail due to an existing felony probation warrant out of Fulton County, the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office said. That warrant is for cruelty to children, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and failure to appear.

===============

Well, it looked to ‘me’ like a clear case of excessive violence by the police.

But I’m curious about the probation warrant. In WV if there is a ‘violation of probation warrant’ the probation-officer or any officer doesnt need any probable cause to make an arrest. The warrant itself is the cause.
Just curious if the officer involved recognized the victim in this case, and knew of the probation-warrant and wanted confirmation of who he was. Maybe the officer got frustrated because he suspected who the guy was, but couldnt prove it without the ID. Maybe the frustration lead to an escalation in tension which lead to the violence.

I’m not defending the cop — excessive force is excessive force. Whether there is a warrant or not. I’m just trying to understand the dynamics of what happened, what started the escalation, etc.

A lot of these cases are black and white — excessive force.
A lot of others are tricky, gray area stuff that just comes with the capitalist-law-enforcement-territory.
This case may have a little of both.

The LA Rams found a game one starting safety with the 199th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, without OTA’s, with the bare minimum of training camp, and facing 2019’s top offense.

And he played lights out.

Congratulations @j_fuller4

====================

Enh. My own view iz, that comment right there reflects an over-reaction to one single solitary game in the NFL. Yes, the kid got good reviews in camp, and yes he had one good game.

Encouraging. But one game is one game.

Not that i care what the National Celebrity-Media thinks, but I noticed in every vid i watched, the celebrity-pundits talked about what Dallas did right and what Dallas did wrong, and what the future of DALLAS might be.

It was just so flagrant i had to post about it.

Goff was 20 for 31, 275 yards, 0 TD, 1 Int … which is a qb rating of 79.4.
BUT, had that roughing call been called: 20 for 30, 275 yards, 0 TD, 0 Int … which is 95.8.

That one play cost Goff over 16 points in passer rating.
======================

If only that one [fill in the blank] hadn’t happened.

So much of life comes down to that one thing that happened or didnt happen.

I think about this, often. I mean, what if Dolphins had evolved thumbs. What if that one thing had happened. They might have beaten the Pats. Ya know.

There’s a lot of ‘one-things’ that happen. And dont happen.

Alrighty then.

Carry on,

I especially love the fact that the refs decided another game in favor of the Rams.

Well they did and they didn’t. Goff’s INT came from him being hit in the head as he threw. That wasn’t called. As soon as I find a pic I’ll post it. It was flagrant.

================

I saw it on one of the tweet-posts.

I think not having fans at the game is going to help the Rams. And it will hurt the Seahawks.

The Seahawks lose actual seahawk fans at their home games.
The Rams also lose seahawk fans at ram home games.

Thus the pandemic helps the Rams. This could be our year.

Polls have Biden winning the Old-people vote. This is why i never thot Biden’s brain-disintigration would hurt Biden. I think Old people give candidates a break on the brain-thing. They dont care.

Right. The only “panic” he could have been worried about was panic on Wall Street. Not panic on Main Street. He could not possibly care less about that.

As i recall the Tokyo-Studies of the 1950’s clearly demonstrated that many humans do indeed panic when confronted by confusing situations. Women often fall down.
