January 24, 2026 at 11:24 am in reply to: The pusher … Durant in the endzone w/ the Bears TE #161645
wvParticipantnothing durant could have done. not in the snow and not with kmet having 7 inches and 76 pounds on him.
coulda gone either way.
Even if Durant was in-tight-coverage it woulda taken a helluva play just to avoid a defensive pass interference call. Big guy against little guy, and all.
I’m glad the way it turned out. Glad Caleb completed it. Cuz, it allowed me to experience the Kurl interception and the Stafford/Davante play.
w
vwvParticipantHe’s their Quentin Lake.
Yeah, these hybrid LB/Safeties seem to be one of the responses to the new rules opening up the passing game. They are pure gold to defensive-coordinators.
Its nice to have a good ‘safety’ or a good ‘linebacker’ but the great defenses these days always seem to have at least one F’ing outstanding ‘hybrid’.
I still miss the old days, though. When all linebackers looked like Jack Reynolds or Kevin Greene. Or Myron Pottios
w
v
“…The Rams drafted middle linebacker Jack “Hacksaw” Reynolds as the team’s first pick in the 1970 NFL draft.[39] In 1970, Pottios regained his starting middle linebacker position, and started all 14 games. On the season, he had two interceptions and two fumbles recovered, playing for a defense that finished tied for 2nd among 26 NFL teams in points allowed.[1][16][40] However, though Reynolds did not become the starting middle linebacker until 1973, this was Pottios’s final year with the Rams…” wikiwvParticipantI was just kidding. I don’t know anything about emmonwori. Or didn’t. Now I do.
And you call yourself a Seahawk fan.
w
vwvParticipantSeahawk people sure do like their rookie hybrid LB/Safety Nick E-mman-wori. He ran a 4.38 at the combine.
“…Because of his strong debut season, Emmanwori earned a finalist spot for the AP’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Joining him are New York Giants EDGE Abdul Carter, Atlanta Falcons EDGE James Pearce, Atlanta Falcons safety Xavier Watts, and Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger….
Emmanwori also made some single-game NFL history. He logged a performance in which he blocked a field goal, sacked the quarterback, registered another tackle for loss, and picked off a pass in the same game. No one else has ever accomplished that…”
wvParticipant==============================
“Hey, way to hang with me,” Stafford told him. “I was dog s— for a while.”“Hey, we both (were),” McVay responded. “But we won’t be again.”
=============================That sounds like the ending of a Hollywood movie.

vwvParticipantDugar, Michael-Shawn@MikeDugar
The Seahawks haven’t sacked Matthew Stafford since 2023. They have just 7 hits on him in 2 games this year. He hasn’t turned it over in either game.This will be a tough test for the league’s No. 1 defense.
Yes, but What about BBQ Sauce on pizza?
w
vwvParticipantno offense to mina. i find her to be informative and entertaining.
but she can’t possibly ever show her face at a rams preseason broadcast ever again can she?
Well, if Stafford wins, i dont think it will be an issue….if he loses…lets say by one vote…..then….o my.
w
vwvParticipantI hope you’re wrong.
I bet another teacher that the Rams would win. Loser buys into the pizza lunch we have on Fridays, so I will either get free pizza, or be out 6 bucks…
====================================What do you Cali-Fornians put on yer Pizza? Raisins, i bet.
Yeah, I hope I’m wrong too. I been mostly wrong all year in my prophesies.
There’s two weaknesses it looks like: Darnold and the Rams-Secondary. Hard to say which will implode.
w
vwvParticipantRams have been underdogs 3 times this year.
The first, against the Eagles in week 3 : Rams gave it away, and lost.
The Second against the Seahawks in week 16 : Rams gave it away, and lost.Rams are 2.5 pt underdogs.
Its been a ‘very good’ season, people. I think it ends, Sunday. Seattle is at home. A serious advantage. Stafford has been a bit off, and a bit lucky with some plays that easily could have been turnovers.
I dont think MacDonald is gonna let Darnold put the ball in danger. All Seattle has to do to win, is play a clean game, with no turnovers. A low bar, perhaps.
The game will define Sam Darnold, and maybe the Rams.

wvParticipant“this Rams team was built to beat the 49ers”
wvParticipantMike Vrabel, btw, is the guy who struck Kurt Warner in the head on the pass Lawyer Milloy returned for a pick 6 in the first Rams-Pats SB.
I’m hoping Aaron Donald is there to punch Mke Vrabel in the head right before kickoff.
Yeah, i forgot that was Vrabel. Wasn’t he taking advantage of an injury at LT or somethin like that.
Sigh. Belichex schooled Martz and McVay, i guess. F’ing Patriots.
w
vwvParticipantWhat’s worse. That Schneider did that. Or that the writers thought that was relevant, and included it in the article.
Of course, I could be wrong. Last Saturday, Sean Payton said that Bo Nix was fine because he knew that God has a plan for him…
I know zooey. Ignorance and savagery surround us 24/7.
I spent decades trying to make some sort of peace with that there situation. I know now, i will never make peace with it. I dunno how. Ah well. A little bit of escape now and then is all i got.
Go Rams,
w
vwvParticipantDrake 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.

January 22, 2026 at 8:54 am in reply to: The Stafford thread…update 12/31: huge S.I. article #161567wvParticipantJanuary 22, 2026 at 8:51 am in reply to: The Stafford thread…update 12/31: huge S.I. article #161566wvParticipantwvParticipantFirst words: Oh shit.
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.
