wvParticipantThe question is, Lion body, Ram head. Or Ram body, Lion head.
There ya go.
Demoff should get somebody to design a Ram/Lion helmet for him.

vwvParticipant…..“When I first came to the NFL, man, the shield really meant something,” he says. “Not to say it doesn’t now. But there is so much individual, global branding, so much star power, and not every voice is heard.”…
…. What then, will he do, when his career ends? Will he identify more as a Lion? Or a Ram?
He’s already split, which speaks to what they’ve built, together, in Los Angeles. “I don’t know,” Stafford says. “It’s gonna be a tough call at some point.”I dunno why he would have to pick Detroit OR LA to ‘identify’ with. He’s part-lion, part-ram.
Not sure ‘the shield’ ever meant anything except exploitation and profit. I mean, this is the same shield that covered up the concussion issue, etc.

vwvParticipantHow the heck are the Packers 1.5 point favorites on the road against the 2-seed Bears?
w
vwvParticipantSaw this today:
This year there were 515 passes thrown against the Jets defense. Zero interceptions.
First time an NFL team has zero INTs.
w
vwvParticipantI guess we are rooting for lower seeds to win. SanFran and Green Bay. Maybe the Rams could still get a home game if they beat Carolina?

The Rams have won at least 12 games in a season for the 3rd time in Sean McVay’s 9 years in charge. The first 2 times they did it, they made it to the Super Bowl.17 game season now. So many ‘records’ are silly now.

vwvParticipantHonestly though, ‘politics’ is a factor when things are real close. Its a mental thing that can tip the balance when things are virtually even. (happens in jury trials all the time
for sure whether we agree with it or not.
i think strength of schedule as well as the division the rams played in should play a factor. i mean la, seattle, and sf all finishing with the records they did is just ridiculous.
Yeah, for me the schedule is the decisive factor. (but then I’m a ram fan).
Playing the Texan, and Eagle defense. And the Seahawk defense twice. Thats four top defenses on four good teams. Drake has not played a single good defense belonging to a good team. He did play the Browns defense, but the Browns are a three-win team.I think Stafford will win it. I think he barely nudged ahead today.
w
vwvParticipantLooked like the Rams played another half-hearted game for a bit…
Like everyone else, I am hoping Lake is the Safety that binds them all..
“One Safety to rule them all, One Safety to find them, One Safety to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, In the stadiums where the Shadows lie”.
w
vwvParticipantHoly shit.
The Falcons fired Raheem Morris. I am stunned.
Holy shit is right. Fired the GM, too.
w
vwvParticipantSaw a graphic on a vid:
Four times in the past, Quarterbacks have had over 45 TDs and under 10 INTs.
Brady in 2007
Rogers in 2011
Rogers in 2020
Stafford in 2025The first three all won the MVP.
w
vwvParticipanthe may still win it….
the way brady describes it it seems he thinks stafford should win based on seniority. i don’t agree with that. vote for him because you thought he was the mvp this year. not because you think maye has to wait his turn.
Well, I think Brady highlighted the TDs before he mentioned the fact Maye still has a lot of years to win it.
Honestly though, ‘politics’ is a factor when things are real close. Its a mental thing that can tip the balance when things are virtually even. (happens in jury trials all the time 🙂
If voters think Maye and Stafford both have great arguments, ‘something’ has to tip the balance — and for some voters it will Stafford’s age and stature and lifetime achievement versus Maye’s youth, and of course the schedules. I also think more than a few voters just dont like the Patriots 🙂
Its all in the mix.

wvParticipantvery close to getting the triple crown. finishes second in passer rating i think but first in yards and touchdowns.
that’s a bummer. i’m thinking now he’s got an outside shot. we’ll see.
I thought Dak had the most yards, but i could be wrong. I know its close.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantSomethin i noticed. Every team in the NFC North finished above .500. Every team in the NFC South finished below .500.
NFC West of course had a 14 win team, and two 12-win teams. I dont think thats ever happened.
w
vwvParticipantSo they didn’t dominate the entire way through the game, a win at season’s end is still a win. They needed it. Puka won the receptions title, I think, and Stafford most touchdown passes with 46. Very good regular season, overall, though it should have been even better with more wins, etc.
They should be able to beat the Panthers next week. Happy with the seeding there.
Dunno if its accurate, but the espn stat site has a three-way tie for reception lead:
Puka
JSN
Trey McbrideAll with 119 catches. Puka had the fewest targets of the three.
w
vwvParticipantHigbee always makes a difference. He’s such an under-appreciated player nationally.
good point on higbee. higbee, puka, and hopefully a healthy adams. that’s a potent receiving trio. then sprinkle in everyone else as well as the running game. i take that offense over any other offense in the league. my main worry at this point is dotson. that one hurts.
Its a good team. Great offense if they have Dotson and Adams.
Its the defense though — There’s no Aaron Donald. No Vonn Miller. No Jalen Ramsey.
I’m glad they get a chance to avenge the Panther loss. I guess there’s four teams in the playoffs they have lost to – Panthers, Seahawks, Eagles, 49ers.

vwvParticipantBack to Carolina

3 Eagles host 6 49ers
4 Panthers host 5 Rams———-
AFC
Denver bye
2 Pats host 7 Chargers
3 Jags host 6 Bills
Pitt/Balt host 5 Texans========
Rams have the 13th and 29th picks in the draft.
wvParticipantHigbee always makes a difference. He’s such an under-appreciated player nationally.
I thought it would be a dogfight. But they pulled away, so I’m…as pleased as McVay. And McVay has an edge, you can tell if you listen to his post-game. He’s sayin all the usual cliches but he’s got some anger.
12 wins. If you had told me they’d get 12 at the beginning of the season, I’d have been satisfied. But this team did not play to its potential in the regular season. The Atlanta game. The Panther game. The first 49er game. I think they should have had 15 wins. I give the Eagles and Seahawks credit for their wins.
Stafford or Maye or Macaffrey. I dunno. It’ll be close.
w
vwvParticipantRams 24
Cardinals 20.w
vwvParticipantStrange, old-school game between the 49ers and Seattle. Rams put up over 500 yards in Seahawks. 49ers had 173 yards at home.
Seattle is peaking, has the bye, and home-field. And yet this is so different than last year, when the Eagles seemed like a juggernaut. Just seems like the Eagles, Bears, Rams, Seahawks and 49ers. And maybe the Packers –are all within a field-goal of each other.
w
vwvParticipantBrady Henderson@BradyHenderson
Per ESPN Research, the 173 yards the Seahawks held the 49ers to was SF’s fewest in any game under Kyle Shanahan, who became their coach in 2017. It was the only time since that season’s opener that they failed to top three points.Man, the NFC West has three awfully-good coaching/personnel staffs.
When Seattle can run the ball, Darnold’s weakness is obviated, to state the obvious.
w
vwvParticipantGood to see McCaffrey have a bad final game. 23 rushing. 34 receiving. And a huge redzone pass bouncing off him for an INT.
w
vwvParticipantTrinidad is only 6’1″ which i dont like, but i watched the highlights of the Ole Miss v Georgia game, and that kid has a real shot to be a good pro. He flashed a lot in that game against Georgia.

vwvParticipantI really enjoyed Yorgos Lanthimos’ newest film: Bugonia.
Its a few degrees less weird than his other films, but he didnt write this one.
Compassionate doomer film.
w
v
“…The film
Bugonia is named after an ancient Greek term for the myth of bees spontaneously generating from a dead cow’s carcass, symbolizing decay and rebirth, which ties into the film’s themes of conspiracy, corruption, and new life emerging from ruin. Writer Will Tracy also chose the name for its ambiguous, slightly unsettling sound, evoking insects, alien worlds, or illness, fitting the story’s surreal nature.”wvParticipantswag
