wvParticipantThe 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.

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.
w
vwvParticipantThe value of Cooper Kupp and his effect on JSN.
w
vwvParticipantIn the two games:
Points: Seattle 57, Rams 58
Yards: Seattle 829, Rams 830
Turnovers: Seattle 7, Rams 1w
vJanuary 20, 2026 at 10:04 am in reply to: Chicago game…tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #161479wvParticipantMina said Stafford did not complete a single pass when he was blitzed by chicago DBs.
w
vwvParticipantOh…and does anyone have an explanation/interpretation of WTF happened in the secondary on Caleb’s miracle-pass? Why/how did the Rams defenders end up so far away from the receiver?
w
vwvParticipantThat was a weird game. I still remember the 11-6 game against Tampa. The Proehl game. It never ‘felt’ like a win to me. It was like, they barely ‘survived.’ I certainly didnt feel like they ‘outplayed’ Tampa.
The Bear game was a bit like that. Anybody feel like the Rams ‘outplayed’ the Bears in that game? I dunno.
w
vwvParticipantRobert Saleh is the first Muslim head coach in the NFL.
Not sure how ICE is going to deal with this.
w
vwvParticipantThe Baldinger vid on the goal line stand. The third down play. Verse ‘buckling’ the Bear’s guard.
The power/speed of Verse. Astonishing.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantBarnwell: “Rams have been Patullo-ing their offense” 🙂
w
vwvParticipantFoxworth, Barnwell.
“Rams didnt have answers”
wvParticipantKevin Dotson graded out at 91, according to PFF. Curl also at 91. KInchens and Speights at 90
Stafford at 42
wvParticipantBills fired McDermott. Won-Loss record: 98-50. But 8-8 in playoffs.
Yer basic Chuck Knox, Marty Shottenheimer, etc.
w
vwvParticipantDont think i realized this.
“The Rams are also just 2-8 in their last 10 games at Soldier Field, carrying a staggering -109 point differential in those contests.”
