“The Rams’ 84 pressures given up through five weeks is their most in the PFF-era. Closest was the 2007 Rams that allowed 72.”

I mean, what can ya say.

Looks like another ugly loss to me.   I cant pick the Rams to win against any team with a top 15 D-Line.

skip to the bayless segment (cant believe i just typed that) and listen to him give

the percentages of black coaches and the positions they coach.  Its like, 80 percent of RB coaches are black but 90 percent of QB coaches are white, etc.

Most surprising thing to me so far is the Bengals OLine.    Its terrible so far.

They new it was their only weakness and they totally replaced the old OLine.

And it still sux.

Gotta say, its strange that you go out and get Russell Wilson, and there he is with a Fourth and Five, and…you kick a 64 yard FG.

I dunno about ‘rusty.’  Maybe.  Just looked like the Oline was overpowered to me.

The two prior games Buffalo whipped the Rams defense, so that was nothing new.

Buffalo’s offense is just gonna do that, they are that good.

I think we all tend to wait about 3 or 4 games before we draw conclusions.  Atlanta will be inter esting.

Only saw the hi-lites.   Just looked like the Bills OLine was

better than the Rams OLine.

Bills lead series 8-5

Bills have won 4 of last 5.

Defense has been torched the last two games, it looks like.    I would think with all of OJ’s problems they could slow him down this year.  I dunno.

It takes a series of miracles to repeat as champions, but ya know, the rams are definitely in the mix.

But I cant picture them having enough general-scariness to win it ALL without OBJ.

Thats the ‘kind’ of addition that tilts things just enough.  Its a large piece of the puzzle, i would think.   Late in the year, if they can add a healthy OBJ they would be a different team than they were in, say, the previous 12 games or whatever.  He turbo charges them.

So, i keep thinking about that there situation.

I did not know he was as good as he turned out to be.   I never followed him.   But that guy just changes things.

So Aaron Donald made the 53?   Anybody else surprised?

The 9ers mishandled this from the beginning, but restructuring his contract was making the best of a bad situation, imo. They tried every tactic in the book to try to trade him, and there just wasn’t a market for him. It may be easier to trade him now that his contract is rewritten, but he has now missed all of the preseason (including the 9ers’ preseason in which he not only did not practice, he did not even get this year’s playbook from the team). One radio blabber ventured to guess that G restructured his contract because the 9ers would have cut him otherwise which would have hit his reputation and future value. They will lose him after this season, but they probably figure having him as a backup is worth more to them than whatever little draft capital they could get for him at this point. Maybe someone loses their starter, and trades for him later, but that becomes less likely by the day. He is probably headed towards a phase in his career where his is the best backup QB in the league for 2-3 years.

Well, not sure if you noticed but the new deal has a no-trade clause, so I dont think they can trade him if some other team loses a starter, etc.    Course, i guess if he requests it they could do it.
