wvParticipantAs a Rams fan, instead of thinking about a bad call that ruined the lives of a lot of Vikings fans (something that should be celebrated) I think about the 74 playoffs when the Rams has the ball on the Vikings one yard line and Alan Page jumped offsides, but the refs called a penalty on Tom Mack. Replays showed that Tom Mack never moved. Cost the Rams the game.
I’m sure it warms your heart to think of that moment but for Rams fans it’s a painful reminder that the universe is is cold and uncaring and that the Vikings must be destroyed at all costs.
====================
Well, it ‘was’ good strategy by Alan Page. He had nuthin to lose but a few inches if they called it against him, and he had a lot to gain by tryin it.
…oh..er..wait…what i meant was, Those DAMN VIKINGS cheated and I’ll NEVER forget it %$$%#@!! We need a Petition and rule changes and @#@@@$$~~!!

The replay they kept running was from behind the play, and depth perception is skewed from that angle. From that angle it looks awful. I rewatched the game last night, and…again…it looked more bang-bang than the replays..
=================
Yeah, I agree. From the offical’s perspective and at live-speed, its not so obvious. Pundits are acting like it was obvious, but they are not looking from the official’s perspective at eye-level, at game-speed.
Still, it was a terrible non-call. I am guessing every hardcore, longterm football fan has their own list of terrible calls that cost their teams playoff victories. Thats football. Off the top of my head, one that I always think of (for some odd reason) is the ‘push-off’ noncall between the old Cowboys and Vikings. A lot of Viking fans STILL grumble about ‘that’ one.
Yesterday I watched the Roughing call against the Chiefs. Good lord. Probly cost the Chiefs the game. Ah well. I’m glad the Rams are not playing the Chiefs again. I’d rather play the Dark Lord himself. To be the evil-est you have to beat the evil-est.

vwvParticipantI started this at the 4:50 mark. CC talks about Belichex and Donald:
January 23, 2019 at 9:45 am in reply to: the non-call issue continues & has earned another thread #97167wvParticipantWell, I’m not a Witlock fan. He reminds me of the NFL version of rush limbaugh.
I dont mind the Saints fans raising hell over the big-bad-call. It was big. It was bad. One of the worst ever.
But having said I dont mind em raising hell — i also dont care. Rams earned the win, in my mind. For all the reasons we’ve discussed. So…I say…let’em raise hell. They are entitled to raise hell. And, at the same time….fuck em.
w
vwvParticipantOrlovsky was good
w
vwvParticipantDelayed reaction is that Goff grew up. imo
============
Gutty, clutch, poised performance in an incredibly difficult road playoff game.
But the whole team was that way. (cept Gurley?)
A reflection of McVay.

vJanuary 22, 2019 at 10:12 am in reply to: Refs also missed several calls that really hurt Rams #97101wvParticipantIf I’m not mistaken, didnt Kaepernik throw a pass into the endzone during his super bowl appearance, and wasnt there a good case for pass interference? I ‘think’ i remember that. SF fans probly remember it.
w
vwvParticipantThat whole game left a bad taste in my mouth. Even with the promise of the Super Bowl (and one of my favorite non-Rams NFL things–rooting against the Patriots.)
============
Well thats kinda how i felt back in 99 after the Rams survived the Bucs. Sometimes these games aint pretty.
But the Bucs didnt play pretty either in that game. And the Saints didnt in this one.
And the Steelers probly got away with the Frenchy Fuqua thing. And then there was the Tuck rule thing. And on and on. The football gods cannot be defied 🙂
w
vwvParticipantI like the fact that Wade has coached against Brady/Belichick. I wonder how many times he’s coached against em.
w
vwvParticipantIt was interesting how Wade put Suh on Kamara at times. Kamara could not have enjoyed that 🙂
w
vwvParticipantFinished watchin it.
I guess my main takeaway is how mentally tough the whole team turned out to be. Patriot-tuff. Ya know.
That saint-dome-advantage was about as strong as any home field advantage I’ve ever seen. Including Seattle.
Or the old snowy Met Stadium in the 60’s in Viking land.That was a HUGE advantage the Saints had, on offense and on defense. And yet Goff and the Rams just toughed it out, and hung in there, and slowly clawed and clawed and clawed away at the Saints. The Rams slowly dragged em down.
This is not a ‘Hollywood’ team. Not a finesse team. This is a battle-tested, tough team that hammered Dallas and outlasted the Saints in the dome.
And now The Patriots. Two men enter, one man leaves...
w
vwvParticipantWell, i just finished watching the first quarter.
Jeezus.
Fire the offensive coordinator.
What chokers.
This team wasnt ready to play.
Wait till next year.
w
vwvParticipantAND, i could watch the replay of that lying weasel sean payton CRYING in the postgame presser, all day long.
w
vMe, too. I get a good laugh everytime I see a clip of that play.
You know, the Saints had plenty chances to win.
They probably win if they run on all 3 down on that series. There won’t be enough time left for the Rams to get close enough to kick the game tying FG.
They could just stop Rams with defense while they led at the end.
They could score first in OT.
They could stop the Rams in OT.
I like it better that that play happened, cause Peyton deserves it.===================
The Los Angeles Rams, are in the Super Bowl.
Say that over and over today, and smile 🙂
w
vwvParticipantI would give Robey-Coleman the game ball.
That last pass-breakup was phenomenal. Saved the game.
Outstanding play.
AND, i could watch the replay of that lying weasel sean payton CRYING in the postgame presser, all day long.
What a snow-flake.
w
vwvParticipantI just found out they won, this morning. Saw the highlights. Wow. I’ll be watching the replay today.
I see Michael Thomas only had about forty yards. Rams had no running game, apparently.
Rams vs Belichick. Are you kidding me? OMG.
w
vwvParticipantSo the Saints will be without their starting, run-stuffing DT.
And the Rams will be adding Aquib Talib. And CJ Anderson.
But the Rams had Cooper Kupp last time, and they will be without Kupp this time.
I dunno.
I like the Rams chances.
But i also like the Saints chances.
I predict the winner of this game goes to the Super Bowl.
w
vwvParticipantPS — I do not understand the McVay fourth down call. Made no sense to me. I think it was a bad call. I agree with Peter King.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantFun 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.”
https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/1/13/18179269/rams-run-game-cowboys-tipping-plays-cj-anderson-todd-gurleywvParticipantThe front line got handled by the Saints Oline as i recall.
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.
