    Nacua is so much like the rookie-Kupp.    I hope he learns when and how ‘not’ to fight for more yardage.    Ike could teach him a thing or two.

    There are secondaries out there that are going to do to him what the Pats did to Faulk.

    A relatively-healthy Stafford with a solid OLine is a thing of beauty.

    Because I’m old, he reminds me of some of the elite old-time passers:  Stabler, Namath, etc.

    What a gun, what accuracy, what guts.

    Probly true, but i also think McV is the kind of guy that emphasizes what I’ll just call ‘self-critique’.   I think he can keep improving at least a little in that area because he will look at his own weaknesses and tinker with them, etc.

     

    Maybe.  I dunno.   Seems that way to me.   Unlike, say, Martz.

    Well…looking at the schedule….they better win ‘this’ one.  Probly only gonna be favored in, what?, three of the next 14 ?  The two Cardinal games and the Giant game?

    Colts, Eagles, Cards, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, Seahawks, Cards, Browns, Ravens, Commanders, Saints, Giants, 49ers.

    I’m fine with what i saw from the Rams.   That game could have gone either way, and thats about as good as I could have hoped given the talent/youth situation.

    I think Cincy is a very talented team, despite their record, and they wanted it bad.

    This team does not look like a bad team, or a poorly coached team, or a non-motivated team.  Looks scrappy, tough, and a bit outmanned, is all.

    Record wont be that great, but what i hope for is improvement, no injury to Stafford, or Donald, and each week brings us closer to more cap room, and more talent next year.

    it must just be a coincidence that matthew stafford was the quarterback for calvin johnson’s record breaking season, the best years of golden tate’s career, the best year’s of marvin jones’ career, the only good years of kenny golladay’s career, cooper kupp’s record breaking season and now puka nacua’s breakout season

    Ha.  Yeah, he does tend to share-a-brain with his favorite receiver.

    Sure would be nice if this Oline stayed solid and healthy all year.   Would make for a fun year.

    This is the all-time worst uniform in the history of sports.

    What in the world is ‘that’?   Is that the Padres?

    Ok, somebody actually thought of that.  And designed it.  And got it approved.  And they marketed it.    And i guess there were focus groups, and surveys and profit-algebra that preceded those decisions.

    So who is that aimed at?   LGBT folks?   Teens?   Color-blind people?

    Colts vs Packers.  Electric Football.   Thats what my idiot parents got me.

    So, of course i sent away for the Rams and the Vikings.   And for the next five years the Rams massacred the Vikings.  Ran circles around them.

    Its interesting to me, that we still dont know wtf the issue is with McVay and Akers.    If this were the old Zygmunt Rams we would know.

     

    Is it a good thing we dont know?   Does it mean the Rams Org doesnt trash players to the media?     Or is it an indictment of the LA sports media that they dont dig for stories?

    Or what?

    I know this probly has nothing to do with the jettisoning of Akers, but if McVay really wants a ‘more physical’ running game and offense in general, then moving Akers would make some sense.   He’s a good back but hardly a ‘punishing’ back.

    If they can get a 5th round pick for him, I will not complain.   I dont think Akers is anything special.   Just a good solid back, in my view.   And his ball-security trait is problematic.

    Well, that looked like a Wildcard team out there.   Potentially a playoff team, if they stay healthy and get Kupp back at some point.

    Course every team is a few injuries away from being a disappointment.

    Long season, but this team could be inter esting.  I dunno.   I think we usually refrain from sayin much around here till after game 3 or 4.    We’ll see.

    So far, they are at the high-end of our consensus expectation-spectrum.   I think we all mostly thought they’d be in that 6 to 10 win range.   They still look like that range is about right, but maybe the 10 win-range is more likely?

    Like everyone else, i dont see them winning, but I would be very happy if they dont get outHIT.    I hope they dont get bullied by the 49ers.

    There’s a reason McV wanted a more physical team this year.   The 49ers are the main reason, I’d say.

    Stafford has some abilities i dont ‘think’ any other Ram QB has had.   When he’s healthy he can zing bullets so incredibly accurately over the middle.   I mean, they are on Fire.

    (Roman Gabriel had a cannon of course, but i dunno that Gabe was quite as accurate, plus George Allen kept him on a tight leash so i guess we will never know what he could have been. )

    I think about Stafford and Warner a lot.   I compare them in my mind all the time.

    I’m not sure which of the two i would want if i had to pick one for a big game.

    Prime-Warner or Prime-Stafford?   I dunno.

    Well, so much depends on how good ‘other’ teams are.   I know the Rams have a ton of problems and question marks, but I dont know how many ‘other’ teams have that kind of situation.

    We know the Rams arent anywhere near the Kansas Citys or Detroits etc.

    But can they be a .500 team?   Maybe.   A bottom-feeder?  Oh yeah.

    I guess I will end up looking for ‘trends’ and looking at the coaching.  How good is McVay?  Can he get the best out of this group?   Outcoach some good coaches?   Keep  em motivated?   Can he adapt to this mess?

    And I’ll be rooting for Stafford and Donald.  And Kupp.

    Prediction for 2023: 7-10.   Which sounds bad, but in this NFL they could be in the wildcard race until the 15th game or so.

     

    …if there IS a wild speculative hope, I’d say its in the Oline.   A solid OLine could go a long way.  We will see.

    Warner, Kupp, (now Stafford) etc.   Some elite Rams have had injury issues that kept fans from really getting to enjoy them.

     

    Makes ya appreciate Aaron Donald even more.   He had a long run of good health.

     

    There have been some Rams iron-men, havent there:  Steven Jackson comes to mind.  Of course Merlin had a ridiculous run.   Jackie Slater.
