wvParticipantMarcas Peters constantly watching for interceptions instead of playing his man doesn’t help with the pass defense either.
In all the years of watching football at the NFL, college, college intramural, high school, jr high flag, sandlot tackle, two hand touch street, Tudor Electric football, TECMO et el, I don’t recall ever seeing consistent blown wide open coverage like last week in Seattle.
Peters was unbelievable…… can Hekker play corner?
============
I dunno. I remember the 1971 Rams Tudor Electric Football team and the defense was pretty good. It usually lined up in the 1-2-3-4-1 formation.
w
vwvParticipantRams dont need a defense to beat the Broncos.
wvParticipantThree WRs in the top ten.
w
vwvParticipantWhat do we make of the rams fourth quarter defense? Seems like they play pretty well in the most-important quarter. Is that a ‘thing’ or just a statistical oddity that has no meaning.
w
vwvParticipantI watched it. Looked to me like Seattle played about as good as they can play, without Earl Thomas.
And the Rams just played kinda ‘average.’ Not that they were flat, but they were not playin their focused “A” game.I’m not sure who they need more, Aquib Talib or Legatron.
A team is gonna need a top-five offense or a top-five defense to stop the Rams it looks like. (Aside from one of them ‘rams are flat’ games.) So who is left on the schedule that has a top 5 offense or defense?

vOctober 8, 2018 at 3:56 pm in reply to: reporters on the Seattle game (articles, tweets, vids, signals from deep space) #92074wvParticipantThe fourth down call was not ‘gutsy’ in my opinion. It was sensible. I would have been more afraid of Russell Wilson with the ball and a minute-thirty, than a fourth and inches against seattle’s D.
I think half the coaches in the NFL nowadays would make that same call.
w
vwvParticipantI’ve only seen the hilites so far. Seems like they might be a bit more like the 2000 team as opposed to the 1999 team.
I’ll take it.
This team is fucking-exciting. Fisher’s teams were fucking-boring.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantRams leading the league in pressure on the QB.
https://www.therams.com/news/rams-hold-league-s-best-qb-pressure-rate
===============
A number of those teams near the top, on that list are not having good years defensively. I dunno what that means.
w
vwvParticipantAnything beneficial that science creates can be corrupted. You sorta have to keep that ‘potential for corruption’ in mind when developing new technologies. It’s a ‘risk vs reward’ situation.
=============
Well, my question would be what are the ‘odds’ science will be corrupted when the science is sitting in a corporate-capitalist context.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantI loved it. Jeffrey Tambor was great too.
The whole cast worked together so perfectly. The timing. And The writing. The subject matter. The balancing the ‘banality of evil’ with humor. I could go on.
Maybe the best movie I’ve seen this year.
October 2, 2018 at 8:06 am in reply to: do the Rams have a prayer against Seattle in Seattle? #91783wvParticipantFisher could win this game. I dunno about McVay, though.
w
vwvParticipantyeah. and he’s only 23 years old.
============
Lets hope he doesnt break his thumb.
w
vwvParticipantHis accuracy and velocity are just nonsense.
Two TD throws stood out in particular to me. The first TD pass to Gurley…I’ve watched that several times now, and I still don’t know how he got it in there..
=================
Yeah, the gunslinger is coming out of him now. With Fisher he was so raw and clueless. The air-raid background and all.
But now he’s feel’in it. He’s trusting himself. Gunslinger at times. Hence the INT in the endzone.
Anywayz, the Thursday nighter will live a long time in my memory too. It goes down with the John Hadl, Harold Jackson game against the Cowboys. Remember those perfect rainbows?
Also the warner game against Miami.
I cant think of any others at the moment.
And against the motherfucking vikings. Granted, these arent the Bud-Grant Vikings. The cold-weather, nordic, Met-stadium Vikings. Still, they wear the Purple and Yellow. So it counts.

vwvParticipantKavanaugh on Patriot act:https://mises.org/files/judge-andrew-napolitano-brett-kavanaugh-and-patriot-act
Thing is, and il jus keep sayin it — Trump will just appoint someone else who shares the same views, and who hasnt been a sexual-abuser.
So while it will be nice that this prick isnt confirmed, it wont stop the trump-policies from moving right along…
w
vwvParticipantGoff was 26 out of 33 for 465 and 5 tds, Warner and Greene were 27 out of 34 for 465 and 5 tds but Kupp taught me a new word comfortability so there is that. I have a track record of zero decorum and I do not know what seemliness is but I did predict the Rams going to the Superbowl in July 99′.
===================
Well, in July of 99, i predicted the Rams would be the Seemliest Show on Turf.w

wvParticipantrules were different back then.
that offense in this era with all the protection qbs enjoy?
not as impressed. i think that san diego game was more impressive.
Well, yeah that was a really impressive performance against SD.
But what impressed me about the performance last night is that Minn is purported to have perhaps the best defense in the league, although perhaps it’s not as good as advertised. My memory may be off but I thought San Diego didn’t have a good defense when they faced the GSOT.
================
Its still so early though. Four games. I’m guessing the Ram offense will come back to earth soon.
I get a little annoyed at the GSOT comparisons after only four games. I mean we really dont know that the Vikes D is still good this year. Its too soon to say. They didnt look good against the Bills.
I’m happy though. Four great games.
And btw, i said the same thing in 1999 after four games. I urged caution. And decorum. I warned people not to get too excited, its probly just a mirage, smoke and mirrors.
So, ya know, i have a track record, here.w
vSeptember 28, 2018 at 9:57 am in reply to: reporters on the Vikes game (tweets, articles, vids) #91585wvParticipant“…but their record is just 0-1-1 in those games. The defense just allowed too many big plays in the passing game to the Rams, and the Vikings’ secondary needs to find its way to complement its now fully competent offense.”
Rams still haven’t played anybody,
i guess.w
vwvParticipantOnly saw the highlights so far.
Rams won. Vikings lost.
Nuthin more to say.
w
vSeptember 26, 2018 at 1:59 pm in reply to: remember the more of the same thread? This is more of a different same #91479wvParticipantIts beyond infuriating.
And yet, americunz keep voting for assholes. Over, and over and over.
They could have had universal care decades ago. No-one is stopping them from voting out the assholes and voting in politicians who would give them universal care. Thats why i dont pay much attention to all these surveys that say most americans want universal health care. If that were true, we’d have universal health care.I wonder who Alex Smith voted for?

vwvParticipantIn the Charger game, Goff played the most ‘inter esting’ game I’ve seen him play.
There were times he winged it like Favre. (and got intercepted)
There were times he zinged it like Bulger. Perfect accuracy. Ropes.
There were times he floated it softly and accurately like Kurt.
And there were a few times he subtly moved in the pocket like Marino.Just a most-interesting performance. Its what we saw in the college hi-lites. Its what we hoped-for when Fisher moved up for him.
I think we are left with only one question now.
Can he consistently:1 Play clutch ball,
2 Under pressure,
3 In big games,
4 Especially playoff games.He’s certainly got great pieces around him. He couldnt ask for a better team. He’s set up to succeed, much like Warner was, and Bulger.
w
vwvParticipantAs a lawyer, what is your take on Rose’ demand that K testifies first?
============
As a lawyer i can categorically state this american-corporotacracy we live in should be illegal. 🙂
…i havent followed the Kavanaugh thing at all Ozone. I rarely follow these dramas anymore. To me, its like following arguments between deckhands on the Titanic.
If Kavanaugh aint appointed to the court, Trump will just appoint someone even worse.
We’ll never know if K is guilty of the sex thing.
w
vwvParticipantI think the Rams would win by 15 if the allpro cornerbacks were playing,
but as it is the Rams only win by 14.Rams 24
Vikes 10Gurley hurtles Carl Eller in the snow and runs for the go-ahead score.
The future is now.
w
vAny chance Jim Marshall goes the wrong way and scores for us?
==================
I think Cooks makes the difference in this game. Gurley gets shut down.
And the defense blows up the minny offense.

vwvParticipantvikings injury report:https://247sports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/Article/Vikings-Rams-Monday-injury-report-122466532/
“…Perhaps the most concerning of them is defensive end Everson Griffen, who was listed with both the knee injury that bothered him last week and had him designated as out on Friday against the Buffalo Bills and then the added concern of “not injury related.” Griffen didn’t attend Sunday’s game, prompting head coach Mike Zimmer to say that Griffen wasn’t there because of a “personal matter” and not expanding on the reason. Griffen was around the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center last week and usually injured players attend the games. He wasn’t seen in the locker room on Monday.
In addition to him not participating were running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring), left tackle Riley Reiff (foot) and cornerback/return man Marcus Sherels (ribs). Cook was in the locker room Monday and said there’s a “good chance” he could play on Thursday in Los Angeles but cautioned against returning too soon.
“It’s not a rush. We’re not in panic mode. This team, we’re still working every week. We’re still getting better,” he said. “There’s still a lot of things we’ve got to work on. The game just got out of hand. Everything fell right for them. We’ve just got to get a better start. That’s what today is for and tomorrow.”
The good news for the Vikings is that center Pat Elflein made his debut this season in Sunday’s game, playing in 22 snaps. He said he is ready for full-time duty if needed on Thursday, which could push Brett Jones to a reserve role or see him slide to guard. It’s also encouraging that Elflein’s shoulder injury is no longer part of the injury report…”
wvParticipantI agree, they are on their heels. Gurley and Goff are both just too good….pick your poison.
============
Yeah, they have the players and the coaching. And the NFC doesnt look quite so formidable now.
And the Pats dont look unbeatable.A lot of things could happen but one of them things is a super bowl title. Heck weve already penciled in the playoff berth — we are now thinking about Home Field Advantage. Which leads to the…Vikings.
The Viking game will be a great measure. Last year’s Viking defense just throttled Goff and the offense.
McVay has had a year to process that game. So we’ll see.w
vwvParticipantI think the Rams would win by 15 if the allpro cornerbacks were playing,
but as it is the Rams only win by 14.Rams 24
Vikes 10Gurley hurtles Carl Eller in the snow and runs for the go-ahead score.
The future is now.
w
vwvParticipantSo I’m watchin the condensed version of the charger game (only 45 mins to watch it all), and i watched the first ram TD drive. A thing of beauty. Precision. Whipsawing the charger D. Perfect Execution. No pressure on Goff. Gurly blasting through tackles.
So impressive.And then there’s the OLine on the goaline and Gurley smashing in easily. Just like the other games.
Remember when the Rams couldnt run in the redzone? Well what is the secret? Is it the talent on the Oline? Gurley’s skill? I dont think so. I think its the scheme mainly (plus those other two things). By ‘scheme’ i mean i think the Defenses just dont know whats coming. They seem on their heels. A lot. So far.
And thats McVay. Mainly.w
vwvParticipantWell, rightwing-evangelicals think K is another instrument-of-God. Just like Trump.
Because he’s going to save thousands and thousands of unborn-babies from murder.
So…they dont care if the instrument-of-God is a rapist.
God works in mysterious ways.
