    Mina raves about Rams ‘balanced’ offense.

    Well, its an inter esting situation. We all remember the Cupp triple crown year. A lot of things came together that year. McVay, Stafford, Oline, OBJ, etc.

    Its fascinating that we have the same thing playing out again.

    For me, Stafford is as much a part of it as the Puka or Cupp.

    I was thinking about the Hall of Fame the other day. A lot of people seem to think Stafford is ‘borderline’ or that he needs to accomplish a little more, etc.
    The same people think Warner is a first-ballot hall of famer.

    The thing is, if you asked most Ram fans to compare Stafford and Warner, and you give them three options: The same, Stafford better, Warner better — I think you would get more Stafford-better than the other two options.

    I hope Puka wins a triple crown. Mainly because i think it would get people to think about the common denominator: Stafford.

    49ers lead the series 78-71-3

    McVay has beaten Shannahan 3 in a row now. The Rams are the better team. They ‘should’ make it 4 in a row. We should see a total beat-down thursday night. A massacre. The Rams should Flay them afterward.

    Shannahan is 10-6 against McV. 0-1 in the Playoffs, of course.

    The GSOT won 8 of 9 against SF. From 99 to 2003.

    From 1970 to 1980 the Rams were 19-2 against SF.

    From 1981 all the way through 1998, things were pretty bad. There was the 17 game losing streak, but before that in the previous 19 games, the Rams only won 6.

    My favorite 49er will always be Jaquiski Tartt.
    “I see it, I’m like ‘Oh yeah, he f—– up. We about to win this game,’ ” Tartt said. “It hit my hands. I thought I had it, and I dropped it.”

    ‘I will end your f—king life’: 49ers coach reportedly threatens Jaguars coach
    By Alex Simon, Sports Editor
    https://www.sfgate.com/49ers/article/49ers-coach-threatens-jaguars-coach-end-your-life-21073272.php
    When Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen approached San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and chirped at the assistant to “keep my name out of your mouth,” Saleh reportedly replied by threatening to “end your f—king life.”

    ..The dust-up was sparked by comments made by Saleh on Thursday, when he said Coen and the Jaguars staff are among the best in the NFL at stealing opponents’ signs and signals. While Saleh stressed it was all legal stuff, using the specific “sign stealing” term raised eyebrows around the NFL and forced a visibly annoyed Coen to reply in his Friday press conference…

    They’re going to trade for Joe Burrow. The Rams will become famous for saving great QBs from terrible franchises and turning them into HoFers.

    Could I PLEASE have a god dam RUNNING QB just once in my lifetime.

    I don’t remember exactly when I started following the Rams. It was 67 or 68. I recall attending the 20-20 tie with the 9ers at Kezar Stadium in 1968, and I know I was a Rams fan before we went to that game. And so I already knew of Jack Snow, too. I must have known about Bernie Casey because KFI in LA had a “Groaner” contest in which participants submitted bad sports puns, and the daily winner got a prize. I made a truly embarrassing joke using Bernie Casey’s name…and won. They sent me a balloon shaped like a clown that came with clip-on cardboard clown feet. I was already famous at the age of 8.

    …I think we got a glimpse of the Rams against Philly, and I think we’ll learn something when they play the 9ers. I just don’t have a good feel for the AFC teams, so I don’t know what to make of those games.

    Well, damn. I thought you started in 69. Now that Waterfield is gone, i guess you have the longest tenure around here. (Is Waterfield still alive?)

    I dont think you can just allude to a famous and original Bernie Casey joke and then NOT tell the joke. What could possibly be funny about Bernie Casey?

    Rams are good. Top four in the NFC. Eagles, Lions, Rams, Bucs. Seattle might be in the mix. Packers ‘should’ be, but somethin seems off about them so far.

    All those teams are close enough so that whichever team is healthiest at the end of the year, will probly win the NFC. I mean, all those teams are an ACL or two away from losing.

    “..Nick Bosa injury looms large
    The 49ers defense wasn’t bad against the Jaguars, but the cracks showed with Bosa out. Their pass rush was nonexistent. San Francisco was credited with zero quarterback hits and zero sacks. Jacksonville also had its way on the ground with 151 yards on 32 carries overall. If we remove all three Trevor Lawrence kneel downs at the end of the game the Jags went for 156 yards on 29 attempts.”

    49er injury:
    Ricky Pearsall (WR): Suffered a knee injury after a hard fall on the sideline in the third quarter, which caused pain and instability, leading him to sit out the remainder of the game.

    I thought J.Dart looked like an excellent prospect for the Giants. He’s decisive. And quick.

    Giants lost M. Neighbors for the season though. ACL.

    49ers played bad and the Jags played bad, and the 49ers lost.

    I watched Purdy throwing the ball and If i were the GM of the 49ers I would only draft WR’s who were as big as Terrell Owens. Because Purdy has a habit of throwing the ball high and getting his WR’s kilt.

    Purdy kinda reminds me of Jeff Garcia. Tough. A gamer. Solid. But limited. Not a great QB.

    Adonai Mitchell. Second Round pick. Played at Georgia. Won two Natl Championships.

    Wiki:
    “He was a key part of the 2022 College Football National Championship victory at the end of the 2021 season, catching the go-ahead 40-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett with 8 minutes remaining.
    During the celebration of the victory, Mitchell was interviewed by CBS Atlanta affiliate, WGCL, where he recounted the catch, “It was amazing to answer that call when it came, be that answer that the team to come through.”[12] Mitchell finished the season as the Bulldogs’ third ranked receiver, totaling 29 receptions for 426 yards and four touchdowns.[13]

    As some of you might remember, i started watching the rams near the end of the 1968 season. I was eleven years old. The only players i knew were Deacon, Merlin and Roman.

    But the first full season i followed them was 1969. We didnt have ESPN or cable networks or internet. (We traveled by Woolly Mammoth in WV back then)
    The first game in 1969 was against John Unitas and the Baltimore Colts. (who were coming off a Super Bowl loss to Namath).

    I could only follow the Rams by watching a non-ram network game, and watching for the game reports and halftime and postgame shows.

    But i remember following the score of that first game. Random snippets and reports on the game would pop up on the screen of the Steeler game I had to watch. Baltimore was favored by six.

    I still remember the final score. I smile just thinking about it. Rams 27. Colts 20.
    Unitas had 3 INTs. Billy Truax had a TD. Roman had 3 TDs no picks.

    Anyway, the Indy Colts belong in Baltimore. And the football gods know this. And that is why the gods flicked the ball out of that idiot reciever’s hands at the goal line. And that is why Johnathan Taylor ran a long way for nothing.

    Bring on the 49ers. Who stayed in SF where they belong.

    Didnt know Ingmar Bergman was a Nazi sympathizer up until about 1948 or so.
    28 minute mark of the film.

    When he finally came to his senses about Nazism and rejected it, according to the film, he swore to never become politically engaged again, and not to bring politics into his films.
    Which seems stupid to me, and the opposite of what he should have done.

    The thing that may hold Stewart back a little, is that i will never, ever, be able to spell his first name. I had the same problem with that Robertson linebacker fella. I think thats what cut his career short.

    “The Colts are the first team since at least 1940 to punt just one time in their first three games of a season – and that remarkable stat is, through one lens, the product of quarterback Daniel Jones being sacked just two times this season…”

    I have to admit, i am over-confident this week. I just dont take the Colts and Daniel Jones seriously. Good thing, I’m not suiting up. I would come out flat.

    Player injuries

    Kenny Moore II (Calf): Moore sustained a calf injury and is expected to miss “a couple of weeks,” according to reports. As a result, the Colts have signed veteran cornerback Mike Hilton for depth.

    Alec Pierce (Concussion): Pierce left the game to be evaluated for a concussion after a hard fall and was ruled out early in the fourth quarter. He is currently in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

    Yeah, I share that view, too…

    Meanwhile, they have everybody at each other’s throats over a dozen trans athletes.

    There is zero chance of avoiding the dystopia…

    I dunno. But the future is bleak.

    Yeah. Its a strange psychological-space to be in. So many weird aspects.

    Living in a very-red-state, and watching the effects of decades of mountains of propaganda on Americans is….well…i have no more words.

    There’s no escape. I just finished a book by Susan Casey. (ive read all her books) This one was about the Deep Ocean. (Billionaires have been building little deep-ocean submarines that they carry on their yachts.) She has many chapters on the mysteries and beauty of the Abyss. So much incredible life down there. People think of the ocean floor as kinda empty but the bio-mass is unbelievable. Anyway, then she has a chapter on what the corporations have planned for the ocean floor. Deep ocean dredging. Like mountain top mining only in the ocean. And huge nets to scoop up all the tiny life. And liquify it. To feed cows and things. What could possibly go wrong if corporations suck up all the tiny life in the ocean.

    The people of the Earth will be affected in ways that defy description. But they have no say in any of this. The laws on this are enough to make you faceplant for a lifetime. I could go on. And this is just one tiny aspect of ‘the situation’.

    Interesting times.
