wvParticipantBoth teams played ugly and good, and good, and ugly.
I dunno what to make of it.
This is not the team we hoped for, with a dominating Offensive line. Ah well.
But, if they can eek out a playoff berth…and get some OLine health….

wvParticipantwvParticipantSeattle’s defense has had its problems this year, i guess.
“…Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk, head coach Mike Macdonald was asked if the focus moving forward will be to build on what the team is already doing well, or try to address the weaknesses its shown.
“I think you gotta start making some decisions on where to narrow it down. You can’t focus on everything,” he said. “So taking out the stuff that we feel like is kind of sunk costs at this point, maybe trying to trim that and then really focusing on and honing in on the stuff that we want to go excel at. That’s stuff that I feel like (there) may be opportunities that we haven’t been able to take advantage of at this point. And stuff that we do feel like we’re doing well, we can try to build on that a little.
Seattle Sports’ Mike Salk asked Macdonald if that meant simplifying what the team is doing schematically on offense and defense, but the first-year head coach doesn’t feel the team is doing anything too complicated. In fact, he revealed that his squad hasn’t installed its full playbook on offense or defense at this point.
“The reason is because … we haven’t executed the things well enough and created the situations where we want to be able to get to everything,” Macdonald said. “… You have some things that would help schematically, but the answer at the end of the day isn’t the X’s and O’s. It’s really not.”
Macdonald: Where Seahawks are at with schemes on offense, defense
wvParticipantThis is good.
wvParticipantmeans tv
i didnt know bout it, till today

wvParticipantJust saw, the Jets are probably gonna beat the Texans. It’s funny but I actually like that thought. And I could care less about the Jets. Or the Texans. But all the press I ran across before the game was about how the Texans were just gonna squash NY, so it’s a nice turn of events.
Exactly. Its kinda hilarious too.

wvParticipantThe Ernest Jones situation, as others have noted, is odd. I mean, he’s a solid player. So why did TWO teams trade him recently? I mean, it wasnt just the Rams. It was the Titans too.

wvParticipantrams v seahawks at the 1:14 mark
wvParticipantThe Lions remind me just a bit of the old Jimmy Johnson Cowboys. Basically cause that Lion Oline is just becoming ridiculous. No-one can touch Goff and he does whatever he wants in the pocket.
Right now, I think i would favor the Lions over the Chiefs.
w
v
wvParticipantThis seems crazy to me, considering how high Richardson’s stock was last year before he was injured. I understand that taking himself out of the game in a crucial drive late in the game is not a confidence-builder, but to turn the team over to Flacco in perpetuity seems like…well…this is more than just taking a breather during a game. There is more to this, probably a lack of work ethic generally, I’m guessing.
Well, Ive watched him a bit this year, and I have thought he looked awful. Truly awful. Inaccurate. Confused.
I’m no expert, of course.

v
wvParticipantEvery time i have watched a Jets vid this year, i have thought of Joe Namath. The year he played for the Rams. Was supposed to be a savior. But he couldnt move.
Ah well.
w
v
wvParticipantNick Bosa wore a Maga hat in a postgame interview. Nick Wright on that subject, fwiw:
wvParticipantTyrique Stevenson.
wvParticipantGeez, have you guyz watched the Jared Verse mic-d up vid.
Quite the trash talker. He dont like the Vikings.
Somewhere Deacon is smiling.
w
v
wvParticipantwvParticipantHe gets to the Ram at at 4:22 in.
wvParticipantChris Long had interesting comments bout Verse in one of Long’s vids. Kinda compared Verse to himself in that neither had that real good ‘bendy-ness’ around the corner, and so they both experienced that feeling of wiff-ing on the QB, etc.
w
v
wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantWell, the Oline looked pretty awful (i thot) against the Bears. Who was the weak link against the Bears?
w
v
wvParticipantViking fans, in mourning.
wvParticipantWell, I didnt believe what happened in the 49er game, and i dont believe what happened in this game.
….if they could somehow, some way, eek out a win against Seattle, and then maybe get their two Olinemen back….and then stay healthy the rest of the way….
Well. Possibilities.

wvParticipantOctober 23, 2024 at 1:56 pm in reply to: Kupp on the block, apparently + Titans trade E.Jones to Seattle #152721wvParticipantAs soon as Cooper got hurt this year, i was thinking he will be on the trading block now.
I dont think the Rams think they can count on him staying healthy down the road. Its just not a bet they wanna make, given his history and the atrocity this season has been.
He’s been awesome, of course, when he’s healthy. It would make perfect sense for a team like the 49ers or Bucs some contending team to add him this season.
I just hope the Rams dont accept a bullshit offer for him. If its not a really good deal — just keep him.
w
v
wvParticipantThis is not last year’s post-bye team.
Vikings 35
Rams 10
I just dont see how it can be close. Mainly because i dont trust the Rams OLine, and missed tackles against the Vikings weapons equals disaster.

wvParticipantNFC is up for grabs this year, i see. I suppose the Lions are the favorites at this point, but to me, it looks like 4 teams could win it.
Lions, Vikes, Bucs, Packers.
I dont take the Commanders seriously, yet. Nor do i take the Seahawks seriously, or the Eagles. Or Falcons or Bears.
The 49ers lost the big WR to injury, I see. And Spags made Purdy look lost. I dunno about SF. I didnt think McCaffery(sp?) was that important, but i guess he was.
Goff the MVP so far?
w
v
wvParticipantVikings are only 3 point favorites over the Rams.
Wtf?
w
v
wvParticipantWell….I’m not sure there’s another team in the NFL they could have beaten today, other than the hapless-Raiders. 144 yards passing.
That reminded me of the Vermeil 1997 and 1998 Rams. Ugly.
Ah well. We’ll take it.
w
v
wvParticipantAt this point, i guess i dont care about the record so much. I’d just like to see a healthy Ram team on the field for about 3 or 4 games in a row, toward the end of the year.
Just to see. Just to see what they really have.
I’d also like to see Stafford finish the year alive.
