wvParticipantis it just me or did the rams look like they got pushed around?
Well, bad-teams in the NFL have a way of finding different ways to lose. One week its the defense, one week its the offense, one week its special teams, etc. This team is just bad right now.
Doesnt mean they cant win the super bowl. I still think they can. It would mean a shit-load of scratching and clawing though.

vwvParticipantThe Super-Team, is apparently, a last place team. I’m sure Vegas still thinks they are super bowl favorites though.
SF 5-0
Seattle 3-3
Ariz 2-4
Rams 2-4w

Looks like Trent McDuffie will be out on Sunday with the activation of Cam LamkinWell, I suppose this is one game where they wont really need him. I suppose.
I am looking past the Cardinals.
I dont even think the Rams special teams can lose this one.

vwvParticipantThis weird review actually made me wanna see Tom Cruise’s latest flop.
Unprecedented folly of misjudgment, bad timing and spectacular hubris is predicted to lose $245m. How did this happen?

vwvParticipantTrey Mcbride. Tight End. 6’4″ 246 Lbs. 2nd Rd. pick.
Ran a 4.53 at Colorado State Pro day.He’s had 42 receptions so far (which projects to 143 for the season)
Mcbride is the first Tight End in NFL history to have consecutive 100 catch seasons.
There’s no-one else on the Cardinals offense worth watching.
And yet they put up 30 points against the 49ers.

v==========================
Troy Aikman addresses reported rift with Joe Buck and says he is leaving ESPNLongtime Monday Night Football announcer Troy Aikman said he is looking for his “next landing spot” with his ESPN contract set to expire after February’s Super Bowl.
“I’ll broadcast through this season, and I’ll be a free agent at the end of the year and kind of see what happens,” Aikman said in a radio interview with KTCK of Dallas on Thursday morning.
Aikman, a Hall of Fame quarterback who won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys, is in the final year of a five-year deal with ESPN that pays him $18m annually.
Joe Buck, Aikman’s broadcast partner for the past 25 years, recently finalized a six-year extension with ESPN that is worth more than $100m, according to the Athletic. Buck’s deal runs through the network’s next Super Bowl broadcast in 2031.
In Thursday’s radio interview, Aikman appeared to confirm earlier reports from Front Office Sports that there was tension between him and Buck over their contract situations. The pair reportedly had an argument before Monday’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
“There’s probably a time and a place for all that to be discussed,” Aikman said. “I don’t know if now is the time. I don’t know that it’s hard to figure out kind of what’s happened.“
If Aikman does leave ESPN, he could explore his options at other networks or streaming services or perhaps pursue a front-office role with an NFL team.
“I’m looking forward to whatever the rest of this season does hold, with the Super Bowl and all that, and where my next landing spot might be,” Aikman said.

wvParticipantThe Brian Flores lawsuit documents: “polished and a good presenter, despite growing up in Brownsville Brooklyn (same as Mike Tyson). He was able to build a strong friendship with a billionaire’s son which gave him opportunities to socialize and learn how to build relationships with white collar and upper class individuals”
wvParticipantJalen Hurts is out for the next game, according to Rappaport. Blood clot in his calf.

vwvParticipantSeahawks v Broncos tonight. Broncos without their great CB Surtain, and their starting Safety.
Seattle bout a 2 point favorite.

vwvParticipantI see him getting into his groove. IMO? Special teams/defense lost the Denver game. They led 19-0 at the half.
And we know Stafford overcomes INTs, meaning he will have down spells for a few games then come out OF it. He has done that many times before in his career. Heck in 2021, Rams lost 3 in a row in November, with MS throwing 5 INTs in those games. At that point they were 7/4 as a team. But Stafford came out of it. That postseason he led 3 consecutive 4th quarter comebacks, culminating in the win over the Bengals.
I think its more likely than not he gets back into his groove. (and yes, i well-remember the gawd-awful-Novermber)
But right now, I’d say he’s not in his groove. Buffalo’s defense made Drake Maye look like an MVP, so i assumed Stafford was gonna play well against them. But Denver has a real defense.
Lotta teams look sloppy this year. More so than i ever remember.

vwvParticipant@speed_kills@speedk1lls
You gotta win those games against the Broncos and Bills. And I’ll say it again they keep losing these games where Stafford balls out and puts them in position to win only for them that lose anyhow. Sean McVay needs to get it togetherWell, Stafford didn’t ‘ball out’ against the Broncos. He through a terrible pick6 to lose that game. Had to be one of the three worst passes he’s thrown as a Ram.
He’s a big part of the problem this year.

vWhy
I dunno, but he also said the Rams are ‘the leaning tower of Pisa’
He also said the ‘Rams are a new house without a radon detector’
Personally, i think he’s way off. The Rams are obviously a wooly mammoth without a door knob.

QBs who don’t have strong arms learn to play with anticipation since high school. We used to have one – Philip Rivers.Herbert never had to anticipate anything in his life while playing QB coz of his Elite++ arm, he saw a receiver is open, gunned it before any DB could lay a finger.
The “throwing with anticipation” is brand new to Herbert, so the learning curve is steeper.
Well, Herbert is in year 7 as a pro. I do not think its a great idea to have him try to learn ‘throwing with anticipation’ at this point. I think it would be better to design the system around what he does well. The geniuses are gonna break him.

vwvParticipantThe Super Bowl one vid — NBC did a half-time interview of Bob Hope. It runs too long. NBC misses the second-half kick-off. So….officials made the Packers Re-Kick the second-half kickoff. Lombardi was livid. He played the game ‘under protest’ because of this.
The game was 14-10 at half-time, btw. Chiefs D-line was ‘the best unit on the field’ according to some.
Fred ‘the Hammer’ Williamson, a trash-talking DB for the Chiefs knocked two Packer WRs out of the game, before he, himself, was knocked unconscious, and broke his arm, near the end of the game. At that point many of the Packers sang “If I had a Hammer…”

wvParticipantInjury news.
A.I.
left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. suffered a season-ending torn left biceps injury during the final play of the Arizona Cardinals’ game against the Detroit Lions on October 11, 2026
=================I’d guess this qualifies as a must-win, for the Rams?
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantCards are cheap.
wvParticipantDuring McVay’s time with the Rams ‘no team has missed more field goals.’
“since the start of last year no team has had more kicks blocked”
“since 2019 no team has had to use more kickers”wvParticipantYeah, i kinda thot it would be 2 games. He is very lucky its only two. He has a violence problem and i wish he was not on my team.
He seems to be a version of Richie Incognito. Jackson’s ‘issue’ whatever-we-wanna-label-it cause him to NOT be a ‘team’ player.
I’d rather lose without him than win with him.

vwvParticipant“196 out of Josh Allen’s 210 passing yards were YAC.”
wvParticipantJust some chatter.
