Wow. Got me all fired up. I’m ready to put on a helmet and get in there.
A blue and white helmet, of course.

ParticipantThis is where I have oceans of ignorance. … Does AJ Brown getting only 3 targets for 1 catch for 10 yards have anything to do with his reading a book on the sidelines? Why does he have a book on the sideline in the first place? .
Oceans Of Ignorance. I think that should be a band name.
Did you know AJ Brown was reading a self-help book. ‘Inner Excellence’
Michael Irvin defended Brown, saying Brown had some issues and was actually working on himself trying to improve.Trying to improve his inner oceans of ignorance, i guess.

ParticipantInteresting graphic in this vid. McVay has never allowed a RB to get 100 yards in 12 playoff games. That is the longest streak, ever, according to the vid.

ParticipantSo, if the Rams were to be competitive, how would it happen? What would it look like?
I dunno, but they have managed to be competitive with that other team with a great Oline – the Lions. How do they do ‘that’ ? I have no idea.
Great challenge for McVay. As Cowherd noted, going across the country, into the cold, short week, against a beast of a team thats already lambasted the Rams.
Great challenge.
One of those games where you can live with a loss, if they are competitive, smart, tough.

ParticipantRams v Eagles starts bout the 17:33 minute mark. “Rams pass rush front — not the main front, but the pass rush front — has evolved to maybe the best in the NFL”
…yeah, but its that other front that needs to stop Saquon.

ParticipantMatthew Stafford’s 139.2 passer rating vs. blitz is highest of any QB in playoffs this century
Rams’ 8 different players with at least a half-sack is most in NFL playoff history
No Rams CB ever had a sack in the playoffs before Monday night
Tyler Higbee now has most receiving yards by Rams TE in playoff history
Also, one of the worst gameplans in NFL history. By the Vikings head coach.

ParticipantSo, we all talk about the Rams front four. They look really good sometimes. But what if they get steam-rolled AGAIN, in a playoff game against the Eagles. What would that mean, as far as drafting and personnel moves going forward? Would that mean the Rams front four is really NOT that good? Or fatally flawed? Would that mean they need better…what? DTs? Linebackers? Something else?

ParticipantIve seen some crazy pundits falling into the overvaluing-a-wildcard-win syndrome.
It was a great win over the vikes. Wonderful win.
Eagles are a different animal. It will get ugly.
There’s no scheming their way out of being bludgeoned by a superior OLine. By the start of the fourth quarter Saquon will be over 100 yards.
Rams get a TD in garbage time to make it look close:
Eagles 28
Rams 20.w

ParticipantNick Wright picks the rams to win the NFC, near the end of vid.

ParticipantIt feels like the Rams are on House money right now..
I think thats true. Its been a weird year, but by the time we got to this point, the Rams had gotten to about where we thought they might get. Final four in the NFC.
They are up against-it now, though. I wonder what Bill Belichex would do? Maybe put all their effort into stopping the eagles in the red zone. Seems like that what Belichex always preached when the other team had a talent advantage. Somehow gotta keep the eagles kicking field goals.
This is why i am always the smartest guy in the room. I come up with the big ideas. “Just dont let the Eagles score touchdowns”.

Participant…so, is the front four now the ‘strength of the team’? Is it becoming the identity of the Rams?
Maybe it depends on how the front four does against the best OLines. Like Philadelphia. And Detroit.
If they get bludgeoned again, then what do we say about them?
Eagles are SIX point favorites.

ParticipantOMG. Playoff stomping of the Vikings.
I shall savor it.
Doesnt change the fact that Tom Mack never moved, though.

ParticipantVikings now, 2.5 point favorites.
I think the Vikes just have an all-round better team. And Justin Jefferson is just frightening.
I’d feel better if Cooper Kupp was healthy, but i dunno what the deal is with Kupp.
Vikings 23
Rams 20w
vStafford is better than Darnold. Jefferson is scary. So is Puka. Van Ginkel is scary. And they have Hockenson back.
But I am a believer in Sean Aristotle McVay.
Rams 27
Vikings 16Final Answer.
i wonder if viking fans are still the second most obnoxious flamers in the league.
49er fans, being first, of course.there was a time, back in the olden days, when flamers ran amok amonxt us, you know.

vWhere is your thirst for revenge?
I’ll take the Vikings. Darnold looked erratic under pressure last night. Philly is the one team I think the Rams have no shot of beating, and Washington is the one team I think the Rams would almost certainly beat. The other teams are a coin flip, I think, including MN.
I had a thirst for revenge once. Long ago.
Joe Kapp hurtled over it.

13. Los Angeles RamsRanking all 32 offensive lines ahead of Week 18:
Tough to rank this OLine given the small number of games they’ve been healthy. In general though, I’d put em in the 10th to 15th tier.

ParticipantOK, so the rams are either gonna play the
Packers or Commanders, OR,
Lions or Vikings (whichever loses).Do we have any preferences?
I dunno. All four seem like tough match-ups to me. I guess, i would rank them this way, maybe.
Lions
Packers
Vikings
Commanders.I guess, the rams would have the best chance against a rookie QB.
The Rams just always seem to play like shit against the Packers. Its annoying.
They lose to the Lion, but at least they play well against the Lions.
Hard for me to see the Rams beating the vikings twice. I dunno.

ParticipantOJ 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.

ParticipantIf you watch this vid, you will see how the Seahawks never had a chance. Even if they had beaten the Rams. They would have needed, like, ten teams to win along WITH their win.
