wvParticipant44 year old ex-QB Philip Rivers worked out with the Colts Monday.
w
vwvParticipantEagles defense just mauled J.Herbert and that Charger OLine. Seven sacks, but it was worse than that. And Saquon goes for 120 yards. And AJ Brown gets 100 yards receiving.
And Herbert looked fragile with that hand injury.
And yet. Eagles 19 Chargers 22.

OTOH, though, KC was not well positioned defensively to take advantage of Houston’s offensive mediocrity.
All the top favorite teams this year–New England, Denver, Houston, Green Bay, Seattle–have top 10 defenses. The Rams are one of the top 6 favorites of course but are the only one of the 6 that doesn’t quite have a top 10 defense (13th in yards) but close enough since they’re 3rd in points.
I remember being a little disappointed in the way the Rams offense and Stafford performed in the Texan game but look at Mahommes stats:
160 yards, zero TDs, 3 INTs, 19.8 rating.Granted KC’s Oline was a MASH unit, but we all know OLines dont really matter.
w
vwvParticipantThat early season 14-9 win over the Texans looks pretty good right now. Houston has beaten the Ravens, Jags, 49ers, Bills, Colts, Chiefs…
Seattle beat them 27-19.
The play the Cardinals and Raiders next.
It would not shock me, if the Texans won the AFC.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipant“top plays” week 14
wvParticipantWell that was a championship performance. I was expecting a close, ugly, division road win.
Bears lost, so i guess Rams regain the no.1 seed, for now.
At this point in the year, my first question is always: Was anyone injured?
w
vwvParticipantMan, Chris Simms was not pulling any punches on the Eagles offense issue. I dont know what to think, though. He could be right. But then, how is it that Jalen Hurts has looked awesome in two Super Bowls and various playoff games. And he looked awfully good torching the Rams in the second half of that game.
Ive kinda gone back and forth on this one. If i had to speculate though, I’d say the problem is more than just Hurts is limited in some way.

Cards have lost 7 games by 3 points or less.

vwvParticipantNick Sirianni doesn’t want a lot of motion or condensed formations. The route concepts are more elementary than they were last season, but they weren’t advanced algebra in 2024, either.
The issues start fundamentally at the top. And this is a brain trust that doesn’t seem to like a lot of the things that make modern passing games… well, modern.
Maybe they are experimenting with the old JH offense. (Jeff Fisher high-school offense.)

vwvParticipantDid the Lions have any injuries last night against Dalls?
—-
A.I.Yes, the
Detroit Lions had a significant injury during their win over the Dallas Cowboys last night (Thursday, Dec 4, 2025), with star safety Brian Branch being carted off with an ankle injury, adding to existing absences like Kerby Joseph and Kalif Raymond, and rookie safety Thomas Harper also left with a brain injury early in the game, according to Yahoo Sports and Pride Of Detroit.wvParticipantwvParticipantHall of Fame semi-finalists.
I do not want to see Vinatieri make the hall of fame.
Earl Thomas might be the best of that bunch, i dunno.
I think Torry might make it this year.

wvParticipantI watched that entire thing, and not one damn word about Luigi.
I like Josh Johnson though. He’s good.
Well, the Luigi stuff is in this one, fwiw:
wvParticipantIs it me, or does Ben Johnson seem like a dick?

vwvParticipant1:25 of the vid, Golden Tate raves about Stafford.
wvParticipantInteresting.
…London Fletcher has defended the most career passes by a linebacker, with 86 passes..

3rd year vet Bam Knight, leads the Cardinals in rushing with 255 yards. 3.4 yard average.
Ive never heard of him.
Jacoby Brisset is having a nice year. 97.4 QB rating. 13 TDs 4 INTs.
Rams defense needs to take some shit out on this team.
w
vwvParticipantshort critique of Ken Burn’s American Revolution.
wvParticipantYou have no future as a football analyst. The job expects you to fill in gaps with plausible, entertaining bullshit.
I think that the Rams learned that they have to score more points than the other team. They should be fine going forward.
I think the Rams learned to Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
w
vwvParticipant“…but they learned a valuable lesson Sunday during a 31-28 loss..”
Well, we dont know what they learned.
w
vwvParticipantWow, don’t you kind of hope the Seahawks win for the draft pick, but lose for playoff positioning?
Very conflicting.
I wonder if its possible, that the Rams might play the Seahawks And 49ers in the playoffs?
w
vwvParticipantThe old-school hit on Jaxson Dart. Just an ordinary play for all those QBs in the 70s.
