OJ Simpson rushed over 2000 yards in a 14 game season.

I just wanted to point that out.

These ‘records’ i hear about make me roll my eyes, sometimes.

“rams look awful”

zn wrote:

I don’t really look forward to this that much. I don’t like watching the 2s in a meaningless game, and then that could be quickly followed by a Rams playoff defeat, depending on who they get in the first round (not their year). So if it goes that way–a 2s game followed by a playoff loss–the next good Rams game we get to see will be next September. Unless they win their 1st playoff game, which depends on who they play. That could be a win and a good watch, depending.

I just want one good game before the season ends.

They could do a lot between now and September and field a real contender in 2025. Need to draft and/or sign an OT, a CB or 2, an ILB, and probably a fast receiver. Which is all do-able.

Yeah, i agree with all that.

I dont like this way of clinching a division. Should have come down to actually beating Seattle.

Such a weird season. The narrative is that the Rams won X number of games after the bye, etc, etc, but are they really playing good football now? The next two games could be ugly. Which would mean they have been playing ugly football since the Saints game, other than the crazy game against the Bills.

Well, i personally guarantee a win by the Commies.

I have watched the Falcons and they are awful. So are the Houston Texans. Neither should be allowed in the playoffs.

…i still dont get how this works. Because there are still games next week. I would have thought the algrebra could all change again with next weeks games. ( assuming the Rams lose to the Seahawks and end up tied)

If the “3 teams win” scenario works, then the Rams clinch now. This weekend.

Otherwise, they have to beat Seattle next week.

Today:

Bengals won.
Bills winning, by a huge margin.

No, i get the ‘what’ of it. I dont get the ‘how’ of it. How can they determine the ‘strength of victory’ stuff when there is still a full slate of games NEXT week. Why wouldnt next weeks games change the final totals.

Anyway. I didn’t think the defense was going to be the stronger unit on this team, especially now that the OL is back, and Higbee (where was he?) and just missing Hav does not account for this team’s lack of offensive juice.

True, its not just on Hav, but I will say this – he has been very valuable this year. The difference when he’s not in there, is pretty stark.

Draft a tackle with the first pick?

Gutty, ugly, defensive win over a division opponent. Cool.

40 plus points against the Bills. And now…this. Can McVay fix it? He hasnt in three games, now.

I assume Kupp is playing injured, as per usual.

The front four is just fun to watch, when they are not screwing up.

The thing I am most impressed with is the front four are FAST. None of them are plodders. They fly around. I dunno if the Rams have ever had a faster DLine.

10-6. After 1-4. Awesome. And yet, i still dont really know what this team is, exactly. I mean, six weeks ago, all anyone could talk about was the powerful offense, and flawed defense. Now, what are they?

So if the Seahawks were to lose to the Bears (unlikely, i know) would that clinch it for the Rams? Or is it more complicated. Does the Winter Solstice come into play? Penguin migration patterns? Is the last tiebreaker the number of roughing penalties against the long-snapper?

Two starting Offensive Tackles are out for the Cards, this week. Paris Johnson and Jonah Williams.

“….

When the Cardinals make the trip to Los Angeles, they’ll be without both starting offensive tackles.

Coach Jonathan Gannon announced on Tuesday that right tackle Jonah Williams, who injured his knee against the Panthers, will be out, as is left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. for the second consecutive game.

Gannon doesn’t usually announce injury designations this early in the week, however, he knew the bookend tackles would not be available for Saturday. With running back James Conner also nursing a knee injury, not having key contributors to the offensive line could make it a challenge to establish a run game against the Rams’ stout defensive front.

With two games left on the schedule, Gannon did not rule out Williams and Johnson for the remainder of the season.

Versatile tackle Kelvin Beachum filled in for Johnson (knee) last weekend and is now slated to make his 11th start of the season. Jackson Barton, an offensive tackle on the practice squad, had started against the Lions and stepped in place of Williams in Carolina. The Cardinals also have rookie offensive tackle Christian Jones on the roster.

If Barton is to play again, he will have to be signed to the 53-man roster, since the Cardinals have used up his three practice squad elevations…”

Btw, nobody’s mentioned it, but I know you guyz had to be thinking the same thing i was, when I saw the Higbee leap into the endzone. There is just no way he should have been able to fly that far. I totally expected him to land about the one yard line, at most. That was just ridiculous.

So, as of today, the rams would play the Packers?

w

Rex Ryan had predicted the Rams offense would have problems, because “the rams dont have any speed” and because they had trouble against San Fran, and the Jets “run the exact same defense”.

Anyway, good win. Losing teams find a way to lose.

Glad McVay just decided to pound the ball today, and let the Jets find a way to lose.
