    PS. Denver is leading in Sacks by a MILE. They have 46. Seattle is 2nd with 32.
    Rams are tied with Browns at 8th/9th with 27.

    Ok, here is the National Sports Media explaining a lack of scoring on offense or low stats by any QB:

    “….This offense (or insert QB name) is just playing poorly, they need to step up, now I GET IT, every starter on the offensive line is in the hospital, and all the starting WRs are on Injured Reserve, and both of the top RBs are in a coma — i GET ALL THAT — but this offense (or, insert QB name) is STILL playing poorly and they need to STEP UP…”

    This is what passes for analysis on sports-TV in America.

    I blame capitalism.

    Upstate NY city one-ups Zohran Mamdani by electing Communist student, 20

    By Anthony Blair
    Published Nov. 10, 2025

    The leaves aren’t the only reds upstate this fall.

    After Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won last week’s New York mayoral race, an upstate city has gone one better by electing a full-blown Communist.

    Hannah Shvets, 20, a student organizer and member of the Communist Party USA, was elected to the Ithaca Common Council on Thursday in the Democratic stronghold’s Fifth Ward, which covers the western half of Cornell University’s campus in the city.

    Shvets, a Democrat and Cornell sophomore, defeated independent candidate and former Democratic primary hopeful G.P. Zurenda after winning the endorsement of groups that include the Ithaca branch of the Democratic Socialists of America and the Ithaca Tenants Union.

    Shvets has also participated in numerous anti-Israel protests since Hamas’ attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023, according to left-wing outlet People’s World, which celebrated her victory.

    Four out of 10 seats on the Ithaca Common Council were occupied by Cornell students ahead of Nov. 4’s election.

    Among her ambitious pledges were raising the minimum wage to $25 an hour — just under the $30-an-hour figure promised by Mamdani — and adopting a just-cause employment policy that would make it far harder for employers to fire workers without good reason.

    Similar to Mamdani, she campaigned on protecting rent-stabilized tenants from eviction except on grounds allowed by law.

    “I just think it’s really important now to bring together issues of affordability and issues of justice. We need to find ways to make Ithaca a place in which both locals and students can live and afford to live and thrive,” the Austin, Texas-born Shvets said, as reported by the Ithaca Voice.

    Shvets’ campaign did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

    Rams are 2.5 point favorites against the Seahawks.

    The media is going to anoint the winner, but its really not a must win for either team. Big game, obviously, but still a lot of games left.

    Rams:
    Seahawks, Bucs, Panthers, Cards, Lions, Seahawks, Falcons, Cards.

    Seattle:
    Rams, Titans, Vikings, Falcons, Colts, Rams, Panthers, 49ers.

    Giants fired their head coach. Course that means one of McVay’s assistants will be moving to NY soon.

    Cooper Kupp this year: 26 Receptions. 367 yards. 14.1 yard average.

    Last 3 games he’s been targeted, 2, 1, and 2 times.

    He had 74 yards on 2 catches vs the Cards on Sunday.

    I have no idea how D.Adams does not have a major concussion, because the 49ers were targeting him with numbers and force.

    Stafford now with 25 TDs, leading league. Goff is second with 20. Sam Darnold has 17.

    Just looking at Yards allowed, the Rams defense is 10th (302 yds) and the Seahawks are 11 (303).

    Is this the best Ram Red Zone offense we’ve seen in the last ten years? Seems that way to me.

    Rams had 401 yards, SF had 393.

    I would not have predicted the Rams DLine would get zero sacks.

    Stafford had time to throw. No-one is gonna beat the Rams like that.

    Remember the last time the Rams scored 42 against SF? Oct 10, 1999.

    Great win. I would have preferred it if they had tacked on a TD and a 2 point conversion at the end.

    Saw Babylon this week on dvd. Brad Pitt. Its by the director that did LaLa Land and Whiplash.

    I’d never even heard of it. I guess it bombed at the box-office.

    I thought it was a ‘borderline’ masterpiece. There’s a twenty minute stretch in the last third of the movie that kinda drags or doesnt fit or somethin. But the rest of the movie was damn good, i thought.

    Man, Roman was throwing out of his own endzone in that vid. Definitely not a George Allen team.
    Rams were 5-9 that season.

    I’ve continued thinking about this question, and when I post the question to myself if there was ever a 49er that I actually liked, I came up with Steve young. He was signed by the LA Express of the usfl when I was living in Los angeles, and I got season tickets to the games for $99 for the season. So I always liked Steve young.

    Montana and Young vs Warner and Stafford.

    I hate to say it, but probly gotta give the edge to SF on that one.

    There have been times i thought Young was the best ever. But then Mahommes came along.

    I went to San Francisco yesterday, and just got back. The flagship station of the 49ers absolutely thinks the 49ers are going to get rolled by the Rams. No question in their minds.

    Who is your alltime favorite 49er?

    Seriously, do you have one?

    I actually liked Brodie. Partly cause he was on so many losing teams. He was never a part of the 49er glory years.

    Sean McVay said Harrison Mevis will be the team’s kicker this week and Jake McQuaide will be the long snapper.

    Been watching the Rams since the mid-Cretaceous era, and dont remember any Ram coach replacing both the kicker and long-snapper in a move like this.

    Now watch it get worse.

    I looked up Chase Blackburn on wiki. He’s not exactly the most experienced coach in the NFL.

    If they dont get things fixed, i would guess McVay will not bring him back.

    ============================================
    wiki
    Coaching career
    Carolina Panthers

    During the off season before the 2016 season, Blackburn was brought in as a special teams coaching intern.[10] On August 14, 2016, Blackburn was promoted to the special teams assistant to special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey.[11]

    After the firing of former head coach, Ron Rivera, Blackburn was retained by the Panthers’ new head coach, Matt Rhule. After the 2021 regular season ended, Rhule fired Blackburn from his coaching staff in January 2022.[12]

    Tennessee Titans

    In March 2022, the Tennessee Titans announced the hiring of Blackburn as an assistant special teams coach.[13]
    Los Angeles Rams

    On February 21, 2023, Blackburn was hired as a special teams coordinator by the Los Angeles Rams.[14]

    On Jake. The Wiki ‘narrative’ is that he beat out Massey. But we all know Massey ascended into The Halls of Valhalla.

    Wiki “…St. Louis / Los Angeles Rams
    McQuaide was signed as an undrafted free agent by the St. Louis Rams after the 2011 NFL draft on July 29. As a rookie, he beat Chris Massey for the long snapper job.[3]…”

    Just since 2022, Jake has played for,
    Dallas,
    Detroit,
    Chicago,
    Minnesota,
    Miami,
    Pittsburgh,
    and now with the Rams again.
