wvParticipant45 minute mark.
wvParticipantPhilip Rivers looked wily and crafty, but also weak-armed and shot. Still, he got the ball out so fast it frustrated the Seahawks. Almost had em.
That Big dum game-losing penalty on the Panthers at the end might cost them the division.

wvParticipantWell, two good teams out there. Fairly evenly matched. Rams are a little better.
Lions were a little better the last two years, I thought.I was worried Davante’s hamstring was gonna pop. That will be a huge loss, obviously.
Maybe he can be back by the playoffs, but he will be fragile even if he comes back. Sigh.The OLine was really tested by that Lion rush. The held up purty good.
Snead gets the game ball as far as I’m concerned. This is a complete team. Lots of good personnel decisions over the last three years.

vwvParticipantIt won’t be completely universal–there will still be some who, even after all these year, remain unable to get over the Bettis trade.
But mostly things would be pretty good.
…
All true, but there will also be no peace for the Patriots.

“There is no peace,” Says my God, “for the wicked.”
Isaiah Robertson 48:22wvParticipantYou had to bring up the Bettis trade.
Well, it worked out for both teams, as the Rams ended up with Lawrence Phillips.

A.I. RamThe Details:
When: April 20, 1996, during the NFL Draft.
From: St. Louis Rams.
To: Pittsburgh Steelers.
What the Steelers Received: Jerome Bettis and a 1996 third-round pick.
What the Rams Received: The Steelers’ 1996 second-round pick and their 1997 fourth-round pick.Why it Happened:
Rams’ Perspective: St. Louis wanted to shift to a pass-heavy offense and drafted running back Lawrence Phillips, viewing Bettis as expendable, despite Bettis’s power running style.
Steelers’ Perspective: Pittsburgh saw an opportunity to get a dominant, power-running back who was a perfect fit for their system, building a tough, physical identity.

wvParticipantDidn’t know Sofi was so bad. No excuse for it, given the five billion price tag, especially. For that kind of money, you’d think they could go full Mars terraforming.
If the players were smart, they’d say No grass fields? No play. And, again, drop back to 14 games, and no more Thursdays.
The players have more power than they seem to realize. They haven’t made the most of that, IMO.
Amen.
w
vwvParticipantA rather large game, today. Imagine if they lose it. They will be underdogs in Seattle, I’m sure. If they lost that one, too, they’d be 10-5 and probably behind Detroit for the last playoff spot. And even if they squeak in as a 7th seed they’d end up having to play in Lambeau or Seattle, etc.
Big game.

vwvParticipantYou guyz need to stop picking on Wright:
“rams will win the super bowl”
wvParticipantI am picking the Rams to win a tie.
I think J.Gibbs will have 175 yards from scrimmage.
Landman will force 2 fumbles.
Rams 42
Lions 42.wvParticipantNick Wright is an idiot to believe that Detroit would be SB Champs if the Stafford / Goff trade wasn’t made.
Well, Wright has always loved Stafford; I dont think he’s wrong in thinking that if Stafford had played with Dan Campbell, the Lions ‘might’ have won a ring.

vwvParticipantAmerikun college sports.
Texas recruiting coach to E.Dickerson: “If you dont [come to Texas Univ] we will make sure you never get a job in Texas after your done with college…”
wvParticipantSeattle ‘wants’ teams to run against them.
wvParticipantI see the Falcons beat the Bucs thursday night. I’m ok with that, because I want the Panthers to make the playoffs.
I believe the Rams would like another shot at Carolina.

vwvParticipantTom covers a lot of topics, including the value of experienced QBs. He also talks about exactly what Cosell talked about in the vid above.
wvParticipantJah-myr Gibbs has 1062 yards rushing and 474 yards receiving, so far. 5th in the NFL. He has not fumbled, btw.

wvParticipant“the beginning of the end” — Dan Orlovsky on Joe Burrow remaining in Cincy
I do not wanna see Joe Burrow on the 49ers or Cardinals.
wvParticipantRichie Incognito news.
“In an interview with Bleacher Report that ran ahead of the 2016 election, Incognito explained why he was voting for Trump. “I think that he can help this nation get back to a world superpower. Where I think he could help is putting us first again and having that — it’s my mentality, too — having that tough attitude where you put America first and everyone’s thinking we’re the greatest nation in the world … That toughness is where I identify with him,” he related…”

—-I never really thought of this before, but Incognito and Trump do seem quite similar in a lot of ways.

vwvParticipantwvParticipantseahawks played them really well. only thing stopping the seahawks was sam darnold.
if rams somehow lose homefield advantage and have to play seahawks on the road i worry. their defense looked good and smith-njigba really hurt them.
I saw an interview with Mike Macdonald after the Darnold meltdown-game. And he was asked about Darnold and he kinda doubled-down on letting Sam just rip the ball all over the place. Sounded a bit like Martz.
I remember thinking, if it were ME, next time Sam played the Rams, I’d reign him in a bit. Just let him manage a short, safe, passing game, and try and win the game with the defense. But Macdonald seems like he wants to attack.
Should be interesting in Seattle.
w
vwvParticipantI’d say it’s still the kicking game.
… – and I believe they are better than the Lions, Packers, Pats, Broncos, what-have-you. I don’t think they are going to coast to the SB, but I think they will be favored in every game in the post-season. You know…barring injury (same old disclaimer).
Better than the Packers? I dunno. What if they have to play in Lambeau?
I would have said the Rams were better until the Micah trade.Did you know, The Packers have beaten McVay and the rams 5 times in a row.

vwvParticipantInteresting numbers on the Rams and Lions since the QB trade.
wvParticipantWe are all Philip Rivers fans, this week. 44 year old grandfather.
wvParticipantI gotta say. Confess it.
Puka Nacua is working his way right up my list of all-time favorite Rams.
I think Jack Youngblood is #1 with me. But…as I’m thinking about it…as many guys as I have loved over the past 6 decades…I love this guy, Puka Nacua. And I want to be clear that this isn’t a list of the players I think are “the greatest” or something. Just guys I personally like.
And I just love Puka Nacua. He is a really special player. A really special human. He brings me happiness.
==
Yeah, ‘favorites’ are different from ‘best’.
Most of my favorites are from the old days. I think sometimes players make a bigger ’emotional’ impression on people when they are young.
For me, Roman, Jack Snow, and Merlin. 60s-70’s blue and white guyz.
Puka is special. Best Tight End the rams have ever had 🙂

vwvParticipantwvParticipantwhiteness
wvParticipantRams are 5.5 point favorites against Detroit.
Seattle is a 13.5 point favorite over the Colts.

vwvParticipantAs of today, the Pats would host the Texans. I love that match-up. It would be the first time all year Drake Maye actually faced an elite defense.
