wvParticipantRichard Powers Q-and-A, on whether he’s hopeful about humanity (started it at the 55 min mark):
wvParticipantThe Lions game was a real struggle too, but they didnt mention that.
Generally speakin, it kinda seemed to me, the Rams offense peaked during the Chiefs game.
But the Defense peaked in the playoffs.w
vwvParticipantHe’s the best shot we have.
We don’t know if he will get us anywhere.
But we know for sure none of the other candidates will.
==================
Well, i keep thinkin either bernie or warren will have to drop out, and maybe they join forces and will be on the same ticket. I would think that would be about as good as the duplicats can get.
Biden is just such an embarrassment in so many ways. And the DNC’s great hope Kamala, was a disaster.
Trump is by far the most…’interesting’ politician I can think of.
w
vwvParticipantGood stuff. Quotes are good.

“The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.”

wvParticipantso how did Jimmy Dore become a radical-leftist? He read Thomas Frank, who Jimmy notes is not a radical…
September 12, 2019 at 2:01 pm in reply to: do the poor Saints stand even the remotest chance against the Rams? #104976wvParticipantI just think its a great great match-up. Great coaches, great rivalry.
The saints have a bit more motivation probly, but its in LA. The Saints have Breeze, but the Rams have Donald.
Could go either way, but I’m gonna go with Weddle. I think maybe his football-IQ will make a tiny difference and the Rams eke out a win. I think Weddle is McVay’s answer to…somethin. Some perceived problem they had last year.
Whoever wins it, itz a BIG win, even though its early. It would be nice to never ever have to go to New Orleans again, in the playoffs. Ya know. Dont wanna see ‘that’ place again.

vwvParticipantEvan Silva@evansilva
Cosell drills home the evidence-proven fact that run-game effectiveness has no impact on how linebackers react. “They do what they’re taught.” And that’s playing the run when they see a handoff or when the OL technique shows run.—————
OK, but that goes against every announcers cliches going back forty years.
w
vwvParticipantThis is the political climate we live in. A country where one-third of the population gets spoonfed absolute nonsense.
====================
Yeah, though i dont know that I’d use the word ‘climate,’ since to me it suggests a possibility of change.
I think once a corporotacracy dums-down its democratz and republithugz, its ‘climate’ is only going to get worse till the collapse.
Once a critical-mass-stage of dum-ness has been reached, I think a corporotacracy can only go in one direction. Coz there aint enuff non-dum-citizens to turn it around anymore.
Bolton is a leftist. In this climate maybe he is. 🙂
Damn rightwing-leftists.

vwvParticipantVincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
There was a noticeable drop in the #Rams usage of 11 Personnel on Sunday, and while it was tough sledding operating out of other groupings it’s imperative the Rams continue to diversify.====================
What does that mean in dummed-down-english? Who will be on the field more and who will be on the field less, etc.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantWolff’s larger point about how the left just cant get along with itself made me smile. I’ve been wondering about that for a decade. Why cant leftists organize more effectively? Put ten of em in a room and they start tearing each other apart. I dunno. Anyway, thats how it seems to me.
w
vSeptember 9, 2019 at 12:01 am in reply to: Highlights, Carolina game + Waldman & Baldinger play breakdowns (!) #104858wvParticipantThat last play is the one that made me raise my eyebrow a bit. I dunno about Gurley.
w
vwvParticipantThere were parts of that second article that made me roll my eyes. Some of the players are makin it out like the Media shouldnt have had the audacity to question whether Gurley would ever be the same. Really?
The guy has a degenerative knee problem. He barely touched the ball in the two biggest games of the year last year. Why shouldn’t the corporate-media have a ton of questions?
There i go again, defending the corporate-media.
w
vwvParticipant…this reviewer like the smaug scene:
wvParticipantWell, Cumberbatch is very talented, to state the obvious, and he did a great job with the dragon-audio, but I thought the dragon-scenes ultimately failed because of the plot-visuals. The scenes reminded me of the kind of bad-movie scenes where the bad guys shoot a gazillion bullets that always miss the target, etc. I mean, i half expected the dragon to slip on a banana peel at some point.
w
vwvParticipantI just watched the Mccaffrey TD run. Maybe the best play of the game. Such a tough runner. Old School football. I really enjoyed watching that play. ….wait a second.
w
vwvParticipantI’ve watched it on replay up to the blocked punt.
My first impression is that McVay outcoached Rivera, just a bit. McVay’s team just looked like it had a better overall plan. The quick counts, the rhythms, the flow. Just looked like McVay had a better plan.
My second thot iz — I never complain after a road win. Against any team.
My third thot is, I thot the OLine played purty well, considering the Panthers Dline is purty good. I’ve seen a lot worse performances against that D. But part of that is McVay. He called a LOT of quick short passes, and some quick screens, and outside runs, etc. McVay made it a point to make it easy on the OLine. Good coaching.
My forth thot is, what did the Panthers do to nullify Aaron Donald? Just curious.
Maybe they just have a good interior Oline? Is Donald hurt?My fifth thot is, the Rams offense looks different this year. More Kupp, Less Gurley. I dunno. It worked today, but I dunno. With Gurley not being Gurley anymore, and Kupp getting hit hard a lot, I dunno if this formula will be effective down the stretch.
My sixth thot is, I really really cant stand, Jon Gruden, Antonio Brown, or the Patriots.
w
vwvParticipantI cant stand, Gruden.
I cant stand Antonio Brown.
I cant stand the Raiders.
And, I cant stand the Patriots.So, i cant find anything to care about here.

vwvParticipantWhoopi to Sanders: “Would you force corporations to pay taxes?”
Other questions asked by Whoopi…
Whoopi to a bear: “Do you shit in the woods?”
Whoopi to the Pope: “Do you where a funny hat?”
====================
Yeah, thats why i posted it. Whoopi’s ignorance about Bernie was appalling. She was a hillary-lover last time around. Still, you’d think she’d at least know ‘somethin’ about what Bernie is about. Gawd.
He’s only been preaching about this stuff for, what, thirty years?w
vwvParticipantJared Goff is very very overrated by national media
don’t you folks find this statement to be quite opposite?…. Goff is not a media darling
=======================
Why in the world would anyone pay attention to what “the national media” say about…anything.
At any rate, concerning Goff, what I saw was that the “national media” loved him after the Chief game and hated him after the Patriot game. That is how they roll.
w
vwvParticipantI have watched football since 1968, and apart from that incredible accumulation of talent in the early 70s, Snead has a better track record than anybody else.
So…welcome to the Rams, Tyler.
=====================
As i recall you once posted a photo of, either you, or your brother, in a blue and white rams helmet.
Anyone who once had a blue and white rams helmet gets to think any damn thing they want. So, either you,
or your brother, gets to have blind faith in Snead or Fisher or Taje Allen or John St.Clair or anyone you want. Its in the message board Terms of Use. Its called the 1968-Rulew
vSeptember 6, 2019 at 4:22 pm in reply to: will the Rams beat the Panthers in Carolina on Sept. 8 #104733wvParticipantthe last time that the Rams played in Carolina… Bradford tore his ACL to begin the Kellen Clemmens era…….
———————
I wonder how Bradford would have done under McVay. I bet his ACL would have played better.

“It’s trusting the process. But it’s also the way we practice. It’s the way we’ve meshed. It’s the way we’ve lifted and the way we’ve pushed each other.” #Rams OT Rob Havenstein on his confidence in a revamped O-line
——————-
One advantage of having Aaron Donald, is the new OLinemen get to practice against the best.
w
vwvParticipantDamn, that old-blue-and-white stuff is awesome to see. And hear. Pat Summeral’s voice on those old high-light shows brings back the memories. At least for an oldtimer like me. How i used to love those highlight shows. No espn, no internet back then. Most of the LA games were not televised here in WV. I basically just had to follow the scores as they came in while i was watching the Steelers vs the Browns or Washington vs Dallas or some such nonsense.
…I wouldnt watch the hi lite shows when the Rams lost, of course.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantGood decision.
I suspect when all is said and done, Goff will be remembered as just below Chris Massey, in
the Rams Pantheon of Greats.w
vwvParticipantat about the 18 min mark: “they probably should have blown out the Patriots”
Um, on what planet was that supposed to happen?
w
vwvParticipantSeptember 3, 2019 at 4:56 pm in reply to: will the Rams beat the Panthers in Carolina on Sept. 8 #104629wvParticipantPanthers lead series 13-8. Purty lopsided.
Panthers have won the last two.
Panthers have won the only playoff game.
series:https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/carolina-panthers/teamvsteam?opp=29Both teams have good D, i guess. Panthers are always kindof a wildcard with Cam. Never know which Cam is gonna show up.
On the road.
I dunno. I’m gonna go ahead and go with McVay and Legatron. Rams win on a 50 yarder in overtime. Sloppy game, lots of penalties, three players ejected, Panthers find a way to shoot themselves in the groin.
Rams 20
Panthers 17w
