NFC and AFC are totally wide open this year. Rams have a legit shot at a Ring. But so do about ten other teams. Gonna be interesting.

That was good (except for the NY-snobbiness). And its how i remembered it too. Vince did indeed suck for most of the regular season in 1979. But, in the playoffs he was great and clutch against Staubach and the Cowboys.

“everyone knows the Rams do not beat the Cowboys”

And yeah, Warren Beatty’s Heaven Can Wait was on everyone’s mind at the time.

Report: Tests revealed what Kyle Shanahan was worried about on Sunday

Another one bites the dust, as Mykel Williams will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL
Kyle Posey

After the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 9 win over the New York Giants, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “We’re worried it’s an ACL” when referring to first-round pick Mykel Williams’ injury.

Williams was well on his way to playing a season-high in snaps against the Giants. Even after injury, he ended up playing 50 percent of the snaps. On the season, Williams played 66 percent of the snaps for the defense.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler confirmed that testing revealed Mykel Williams indeed tore his ACL, as the team feared. The 49ers have already been decimated by injury, specifically the defensive line. It would be easier to list the players who haven’t suffered an injury or been listed on the injury list than vice versa.

Now, as the team was hopeful Bryce Huff could return after missing two games with a hamstring injury, they’ll need to replace one of their most reliable defenders.

Against the Giants, Sam Okayinonu played the most snaps of any defensive lineman. Of the 57, Sam O played 41, Alfred Collins 33, Keion White 33, and Mykel was next at 29. The team has gone out of its way to avoid playing Robert Beal, who played 13 snaps. The other option on the edge is the newly signed Clelin Ferrell, who played 18 snaps against the Giants.

The 49ers’ hand might be forced when it comes to acquiring defensive linemen before the trade deadline.

Stafford now leading the NFL with 21 TDs. Herbert next at 18. Five QBs with 17.

Beating a one-win team that’s using a rookie backup-level QB, at home….is a good thing. Good work.

Rams had no turnovers.

…i do wonder about the non-call though.

I’d be disappointed if Havenstein was back next year. He’s been so solid for so long, but one would hope at this point the Rams would have a solid young replacement.

Tyler Shough (‘shuck’)
Scouting Report: Summary
The tape shows a quarterback who thrives in structured passing attacks featuring heavy play-action usage. When Shough can plant that back foot and drive through his throws off play-action, he generates impressive velocity to all levels of the field. That play-action prowess combined with his ability to layer passes between zones makes him an ideal fit in systems like San Francisco or Los Angeles that emphasize rhythmic timing throws and vertical shots off run action.

His Senior Bowl performance reinforced what shows up on Louisville film – this is a physically gifted passer who can make every throw in the playbook when his mechanics are right. The arm talent pops whether he’s driving comebacks from the opposite hash or dropping deep balls in the bucket. While the age and medical history are legitimate concerns, several games from 2024 (Miami, Clemson, Virginia) showcase a QB ready to compete for a starting role sooner rather than later. The flashes of brilliance throwing on the move and improvising outside structure hint at a higher ceiling than his current draft buzz suggests.

After studying his full body of work, I’m convinced Shough will outperform his eventual draft position. The combination of size, arm strength, and experience in multiple pro-style concepts provides immediate NFL backup value with clear starter upside. He needs an established offensive system that can refine his mechanics and help him process faster under pressure. But in the right situation with proper development time, Shough has the tools to develop into a quality NFL starter by year two. The tape shows a more talented player than his current Day 2/3 projection indicates.

Facing a back-up, rookie QB, for a 1-win team.

Well…we want the Eagles, 49ers, Bears, Bucs, and Packers to lose.

And the Cowboys just on principle.
