wvParticipantGraham Elwood was the other guy in that vid.
wvParticipantBill Maher said he was rooting for LA, but if the Pats ‘did’ win, at least there would be some Patriots in the white house at some point.
w
vwvParticipantWell…I think Sam Bradford was as good as Troy Aikman. Really. I think they are the same guy.
===================
When did you become a crazy-man, exactly?
Granted, Troy had an alltime great OLine, an alltime great RB, and an alltime great WR, and a great coach.
And a good defense.…well, ok, maybe you are not so crazy. But I dunno.
w
vwvParticipantWell they need to keep Mannion, I guess.
His head is the same size as Goff’s.
w
vwvParticipantWell, my take on that was not that he wanted only ‘elites’ to vote, but that he wanted only people who were ‘educated’ to vote. To me it was a vid about education, and what ‘education’ IS and what it ‘ought to be.
Maybe ‘education’ in a corporotacracy is essentially propaganda.
And what it ‘ought’ to be is…somethin else.w
vwvParticipantWell I’d call that a ‘puff piece’. Not because facts are wrong or anything (i just skimmed it), but because it doesnt add the ‘other’ half of the story. How Kroenke (thru Demoff) lied, and weaseled and screwed that other city. Ya know. His home town.
Rams should never have left LA. Browns should never have left Cleveland. Colts should never have left baltimore. Cards should never have left St.Louis.

wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantTom Brady likes Tuna Noodle Cassarole.
I bet you didn’t know that.
w
vwvParticipant“At first, Greg Olson — now the Raiders’ offensive coordinator, he was the Rams’ quarterbacks coach at the time — didn’t embrace Goff’s chill. ”
Interesting.
w
vwvParticipantI think it was Goff’s best game, ever. I think he was fucking awesome.
it was a milestone game. one we’ll remember years from now.
in my 24 years of following the rams i can say without a doubt he’s the second best rams qb i’ve seen. i know that’s not saying much but he’s also got a long way to go.
hopefully he stays a ram for a long time.
===================
24. One wonders if Kurt was that good, at that age?w
vwvParticipantBelichex texts McVay during the season. Didnt know that. Its in the vid above.

vwvParticipanti thot CC made some interesting comments about “top to bottom talent” of the Pats. Bout four mins in.

January 29, 2019 at 7:00 pm in reply to: How the Rams overcame the disastrous end of the Jeff Fisher era ESPN article #97461wvParticipantI either forgot, or never knew, that Fisher tried to hire Kyle Shanahan as OC.
That would have changed the course of history.
=============
“Adam Gase, Kyle Shanahan, Nathaniel Hackett and Greg Roman all turned him down.”Well there’s a reason they all turned him down, i guess.
I think of Fisher as a “B” level coach. I dont think he’s an “F” or anything like that, but I
think he would mostly get himself outcoached by the top coaches.w
vwvParticipantIt was beautiful…. what is going unsung on this play (end of 1st half drive) is the RAM defense…. they sacked Brees on back to back plays late in the 1st half to get the ball back…
Goff was clutch, he delivered when the defense gave him the ball back in these crucial instances: right before halftime, at the end of regulation, and in OT…..
===================
I think it was Goff’s best game, ever. I think he was fucking awesome. Dont care about the stats. To perform under those ridiculous conditions, and manage the game, and to overcome Gurley’s big screw up, and to make four or five elite, clutch throws under pressure, on the road, in a dome, for the NFC Championship — well…just fucking awesome.
And legatron. Good lord.
w
vwvParticipantWV, thanks for that comment. I thought I was alone on an island about crowd noise. Couldn’t agree with you more.
My entire life, I thought it was . . . I don’t know the right words for it . . . perhaps rude or obnoxious? “Live,” I’ve always responded to what I see as good play with clapping, and then I’m silent; but it never made any sense to me to continue screaming non-stop. At what? Why are these people screaming? What just happened to cause this?
Um, nothing. They’re just being rude and obnoxious, and it spoils the experience for me in the stadium. I can only imagine how annoying it is for the players.
That said, I don’t expect a football stadium to be like a golfing crowd, or a church. Fans don’t have to hold their breaths, whisper, or anything like that. But I wish they’d just respond to great plays and then shut the heck up between them.
Oh, and whistles should be prohibited.
==================
Always makes me smile to see you on the Board, BT. Always.
As the world burns, and burns,
we still have…the Rams.…thats a funny image — football crowds behaving like golf crowds. Or, golf crowds behaving like football crowds.
w
vwvParticipantI dont mind a little ‘home field advantage’ but to ‘me’ that kind of noise seriously alters the game itself. I mean how much of an advantage is one team allowed before it makes the game a mockery?
i don’t mind it.
no different than if the rams had to play in lambeau field. or soldier field.
actually that probably would have been worse.
===============
I disagree. See in Lambeau BOTH teams are fighting the SAME elements. Snow, wind, whatever. But in a dome only ONE team is fighting crowd noise. There’s a difference.
And I am not saying this coz it was the Rams in that game. I say this all the time no matter what team is having to fight dome-noise. I’d say it if the Vikings were playing in New Orleans. Etc.
Just strikes me as unfair.
But then I thought Germany having to take on Russia AND the West was unfair. I have a keen sense of unfairness.
w
vwvParticipantGood stuff. “Amphibious.” I like it.
On the crowd noise — thats the main reason why I dont give a shit about the bad-non-call. The Rams had to play against that incredibly loud noise as well as the Saints football team. If the Saints cant win a game like ‘that’, I dont have any sympathy for them.
And fwiw, I dont think its ‘fair’ for one team to have to play against ‘that’ kind of noise. I’m serious. I’ve always thought that. I dont mind a little ‘home field advantage’ but to ‘me’ that kind of noise seriously alters the game itself. I mean how much of an advantage is one team allowed before it makes the game a mockery? I got zero sympathy for the Saints. There was a time there were no Domes in the football world. BOTH teams had to play in the snow or rain or whatever. But with domes came this ‘unfair’ advantage, imho. Another reason to hate modern civilization.
w
vwvParticipantI just hope the Refs dont leave this game in the hands of the players.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi
“…In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.[2] The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”.[3] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō), suffering (苦 ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū)….”w

January 28, 2019 at 11:29 am in reply to: the non-call issue continues & has earned another thread #97412wvParticipantThere is always going to be some error in judgement calls and a certain amount is unfixable.
=================
God wanted the Rams in the Super Bowl. Thats how I look at it.
Who are we to question that.

vwvParticipantMangini (who coached for the Pats ) talks about “if the Rams had run Faulk more…”
At about the 2 minute mark.Everyone hates NE, except for the ones that hate LA worse, St. Louis and NO. lol
==============
Imagine the next Saints vs Rams game. Oh my.
w
vwvParticipantMangini (who coached for the Pats ) talks about “if the Rams had run Faulk more…”
At about the 2 minute mark.wvParticipantI’ve never had LESS of an idea about what was going to happen. I got nuthin.
I’ve been lost since the Rams-Chiefs game. Who is Gurley now? Who is Goff? Who is this CJ guy? Where did this new Suh come from? Where did the run defense come from? Who are the Patriots? I dont know nuthin.

“Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”
― Werner Heisenberg Across the FrontierswvParticipantDamn. You can see how a ref might have thought it was tipped. Maybe it was, i cant tell.
i just saw another angle. not even close to being tipped.
OK, but my point has always been the REFS perspective is what mattered. From HIS perspective it may have looked tipped. Didnt Robey-Coleman say the ref said it was tipped?
w
vwvParticipantI dont think there is a big ‘talent disparity.’ I say that because almost every year i read that, and almost every year, the Pats are right there at the top.
Maybe we just dont recognize their talents very well.
Maybe their ‘talent’ is playing like a ‘team’. Ya know. Plus of course Brady has otherworldly talent, apparently.
