    Tom covers a lot of topics, including the value of experienced QBs. He also talks about exactly what Cosell talked about in the vid above.

    Richie Incognito news.

    “In an interview with Bleacher Report that ran ahead of the 2016 election, Incognito explained why he was voting for Trump. “I think that he can help this nation get back to a world superpower. Where I think he could help is putting us first again and having that — it’s my mentality, too — having that tough attitude where you put America first and everyone’s thinking we’re the greatest nation in the world … That toughness is where I identify with him,” he related…”

    I never really thought of this before, but Incognito and Trump do seem quite similar in a lot of ways.

    seahawks played them really well. only thing stopping the seahawks was sam darnold.

    if rams somehow lose homefield advantage and have to play seahawks on the road i worry. their defense looked good and smith-njigba really hurt them.

    I saw an interview with Mike Macdonald after the Darnold meltdown-game. And he was asked about Darnold and he kinda doubled-down on letting Sam just rip the ball all over the place. Sounded a bit like Martz.

    I remember thinking, if it were ME, next time Sam played the Rams, I’d reign him in a bit. Just let him manage a short, safe, passing game, and try and win the game with the defense. But Macdonald seems like he wants to attack.

    Should be interesting in Seattle.

    I’d say it’s still the kicking game.

    … – and I believe they are better than the Lions, Packers, Pats, Broncos, what-have-you. I don’t think they are going to coast to the SB, but I think they will be favored in every game in the post-season. You know
barring injury (same old disclaimer).

    Better than the Packers? I dunno. What if they have to play in Lambeau?
    I would have said the Rams were better until the Micah trade.

    Did you know, The Packers have beaten McVay and the rams 5 times in a row.

    I gotta say. Confess it.

    Puka Nacua is working his way right up my list of all-time favorite Rams.

    I think Jack Youngblood is #1 with me. But
as I’m thinking about it
as many guys as I have loved over the past 6 decades
I love this guy, Puka Nacua. And I want to be clear that this isn’t a list of the players I think are “the greatest” or something. Just guys I personally like.

    And I just love Puka Nacua. He is a really special player. A really special human. He brings me happiness.

    ==

    Yeah, ‘favorites’ are different from ‘best’.

    Most of my favorites are from the old days. I think sometimes players make a bigger ’emotional’ impression on people when they are young.

    For me, Roman, Jack Snow, and Merlin. 60s-70’s blue and white guyz.

    Puka is special. Best Tight End the rams have ever had 🙂

    As of today, the Pats would host the Texans. I love that match-up. It would be the first time all year Drake Maye actually faced an elite defense.

    Eagles defense just mauled J.Herbert and that Charger OLine. Seven sacks, but it was worse than that. And Saquon goes for 120 yards. And AJ Brown gets 100 yards receiving.

    And Herbert looked fragile with that hand injury.

    And yet. Eagles 19 Chargers 22.

    Stafford has gone up against 5 teams so far in the top 10 in Defense-Points-per-game. Houston, Seattle, 49ers, Jags, Eagles.
    Drake May has gone against Zero.

    Stafford has gone up against 1 team in the bottom 6 in Defense-points-allowed-per game.
    Drake May has played 4 of the bottom six already, with 2 more coming.

    Yeah Texans are shadowing Denver and could take their place as one of the 2 AFC teams one would expect to be in the conference championship game (the other being New England).

    OTOH, though, KC was not well positioned defensively to take advantage of Houston’s offensive mediocrity.

    All the top favorite teams this year–New England, Denver, Houston, Green Bay, Seattle–have top 10 defenses. The Rams are one of the top 6 favorites of course but are the only one of the 6 that doesn’t quite have a top 10 defense (13th in yards) but close enough since they’re 3rd in points.

    I remember being a little disappointed in the way the Rams offense and Stafford performed in the Texan game but look at Mahommes stats:
    160 yards, zero TDs, 3 INTs, 19.8 rating.

    Granted KC’s Oline was a MASH unit, but we all know OLines dont really matter.

    That early season 14-9 win over the Texans looks pretty good right now. Houston has beaten the Ravens, Jags, 49ers, Bills, Colts, Chiefs…

    Seattle beat them 27-19.

    The play the Cardinals and Raiders next.

    It would not shock me, if the Texans won the AFC.

    Well that was a championship performance. I was expecting a close, ugly, division road win.

    Bears lost, so i guess Rams regain the no.1 seed, for now.

    At this point in the year, my first question is always: Was anyone injured?

    Man, Chris Simms was not pulling any punches on the Eagles offense issue. I dont know what to think, though. He could be right. But then, how is it that Jalen Hurts has looked awesome in two Super Bowls and various playoff games. And he looked awfully good torching the Rams in the second half of that game.

    Ive kinda gone back and forth on this one. If i had to speculate though, I’d say the problem is more than just Hurts is limited in some way.

    Nick Sirianni doesn’t want a lot of motion or condensed formations. The route concepts are more elementary than they were last season, but they weren’t advanced algebra in 2024, either.

    The issues start fundamentally at the top. And this is a brain trust that doesn’t seem to like a lot of the things that make modern passing games
 well, modern.

    Maybe they are experimenting with the old JH offense. (Jeff Fisher high-school offense.)

    Did the Lions have any injuries last night against Dalls?

    A.I.

    Yes, the
    Detroit Lions had a significant injury during their win over the Dallas Cowboys last night (Thursday, Dec 4, 2025), with star safety Brian Branch being carted off with an ankle injury, adding to existing absences like Kerby Joseph and Kalif Raymond, and rookie safety Thomas Harper also left with a brain injury early in the game, according to Yahoo Sports and Pride Of Detroit.
