wvParticipantwvParticipantFun Fact:
In the Top Five age differentials prior to this year, all five were won by the older QB.=============
I dont like facts.
w
vwvParticipantthot this was interesting:
“They’re a defensive line that really likes to move a lot,” right guard Austin Blythe told The Ringer. “We had a pretty good tell when they were going to do that.”

I wouldnt mind seeing the Rams and Patriots win.
w
vwvParticipantThis is why i have not had a dog for the last decade or so.
Sigh.
Sorry Rick.
w
vwvParticipantThe one that he will always remember. Right thru his hands for an INT. Well, back in, oh, about 1971 when i was in 9th grade, i did exactly the same thing. 1971. Still havent forgotten it.
w
vWas it against the Saints?
————–
It was flag football. Ball went thru my hands. Then bounced off the middle of my chest. Then landed straight into the DB’s hands. And he went for six.
We did actually win the championship that year though. Mainly due to my stealing signals from the other team.
w
vwvParticipantThe Talib play was weird. I dunno what he was doing.
But THE weirdest play was the bad-call that went against Dallas. The phantom sack. That was the worst ‘in the grasp’ call I’ve ever seen.
w
vwvParticipantTwo best teams – Saints n Rams. Good for the NFL.
Saints offense doesnt look quite as zany-wacky as it was. Maybe they are beatable in the dome.
Alshon Jeffrey. Did u see that play? The one that he will always remember. Right thru his hands for an INT. Well, back in, oh, about 1971 when i was in 9th grade, i did exactly the same thing. 1971. Still havent forgotten it.
w
vwvParticipantThat was a singularly ‘satisfying’ game. They just flat-out beat the shit out of the rough tough boyz.
Byes help. Man, do byes help.
w
vwvParticipantStill watchin, late in first half. Seems like Goff is taking a lot more time than usual to call the plays. Lots of talking and motioning and presnap moving. Interesting.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipant“Jason Garrett is not bad enuff to fire, and not good enuff to win”
Cowboys fanwvParticipantI’m watchin the game on replay. I just watched Ebukam drop a pick6.
This after watching Higby drop a TD pass. This after Cooks dropped a TD pass.WTF?
If they lose this game, I’m gonna be pissed.
w
vwvParticipantFor some reason this game reminded me of an old GSOT game. The one where the Rams had to play the Saints in, i think the last regular season game. And the Saints had already bullied the rams in the first game. And Martz decided to run the ball down their throats. And Faulk did just that. The team was just ‘determined’.
Course the next game was the Hakim fumble game, i think.
w
vwvParticipantSomeone explain who the Rams are — they had the wild shootouts with the Saints and Chiefs,
and now they look like the Tim Tebow broncos er somethin.Someone x-plain it to me.
Have they always been both?
They always had the capacity to be both. You can see though that after the Chi & Eagles games Kromer was talking about getting back to basics and fundamentals. To me the Chi & Eagles games were always about the OL, and how it had unravelled a bit. A lot of people put all on that on Goff but my feeling was that no qb looks good when OLs crack like that and a young one will especially not look good. (Stats show Goff was under an unusual amount of pressure in those games, double the amount from previous games.)
So what I think happened is, they took a veteran OL and focused on technique and reconfigured them a bit.
They could always run, they could always pass, but what has shifted is the emphasis.
I think also discovering what they had in CJ motivated a lot of that.
On defense, I also think they just got back to basics (eg. gap discipline) and changed a few things and just said, we have to defend the run it’s now or never for 2018 to do that.
=============
Sounds right to me. I’d add that when Gurley is hurt, its a different team. Also when the OLine gets two weeks off it probly helps a lot.

w
vwvParticipantThe opposite of the offensive and defensive game plans I expected. Neither Saints nor Eagles wanted to see the Rams OL doing what they did today.
=================
Agree, totally. Did McVay remake this team in two weeks?
At any rate, the biggest win in….um….?
Rams are legit.

January 8, 2019 at 3:53 pm in reply to: does Dallas stand even the remotest chance in this game? #96331wvParticipantwvParticipant…the Rams OL had gone through a long nightmarish list of injuries and they were basically starting guys they had just signed off the street. And, for many, what that meant was, Bulger was complacent after signing a fat contract and just not playing well.
There is often an analytic amnesia around injuries in football discussions.
…
=====================
Well, ‘maybe’ the celebrity-media has amnesia about injuries. But i have a suspicion that the corporate-suits dont like talk about football-injuries. They probly think talk of injuries should be toned down or avoided if possible. I dont ‘know’ that, but i suspect it. I mean, the pundits job is really to ‘sell’ the game itself. Injuries dont sell the game. Etc, and so forth.
At any rate, i blame Bulger’s ribs for being complacent.
w
vwvParticipantI started this near the end of the vid. Worth watching, i think.
January 8, 2019 at 9:51 am in reply to: does Dallas stand even the remotest chance in this game? #96308wvParticipantZooey that might be best course of action. Use the pass and take the cowboys away from running the ball. Take Zeke Out of the equation
==========
Oline. Its all on the Oline.

vJanuary 8, 2019 at 9:49 am in reply to: AD’s season grade of 123.9 highest PFF has given in 13 years of ranking players #96307wvParticipantwvParticipantIt would be surreal for me if the Colts won the AFC. I mean i havent noticed them all year.
I suppose i would like to see the Rams play the Chargers in the Super Bowl.
It would make the spirit of GRITS very happy.
w
vJanuary 7, 2019 at 2:26 pm in reply to: does Dallas stand even the remotest chance in this game? #96257wvParticipantYou know after the Kansas City game the media was all agog, about how the NFL is now a pinball league, etc.
Well…apparently not. Lots of defense in the NFL these days.
I watched the Cowboys beat down the Saints. I have no idea why the Rams are 6 point favorites.
w
vwvParticipantWell, this is it. They are rested. They play at home.
13 wins, and I’m still not sure they are legit. We shall see.
w
vwvParticipantYeah, i wanted the Bears. But the Cowboys will do.
w
vwvParticipantI’ve never had any complaints about Snead, I dont think. He’s done a good job.
In a personnel-world that is ridiculously uncertain, he’s been good. The onliest thing I dread iz…if the Rams win a Ring, the celebrity-pundits will call him the ‘G word’. I guarantee it. They’ll call him a ‘genius.’ Coz that iz what they do.
