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.

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?

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.

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.

wvParticipantJerry Jones, threatens to take a radio hosts job away from him. Shannon Sharpe reacts.
wvParticipant“that team is a Ferrari with mud tires”
wvParticipant“…the Rams are playing a morbid version of whack-a-mole — flailing at any one problem in any one week, all while sinking deeper.”
Indeed.

wvParticipantWell, as bad as they are right now, I must say, I’m pleased with how hard they have fought in all these games, except the one. I really dont know how or why 4 of the 5 games have been so close.
They do have a lot of spirit and toughness.
I get the impression Stafford is getting frustrated, with the pressure and lack of topnotch-weapons. Pressure and lack-of weapons. Not a good combo.
To go from Kupp, Nacua, Higby to this….mediocre/young WR/TE crew has to be frustrating.
Stafford has always been a gunslinger, but when he ‘presses’ it can be problematic, to state the obvious.
And this is a recipe for a pocket QB to press, and, to get hurt.
As bad as the record is (and will be) there are plenty of good pieces on this team. This year was always gonna be about health. Sigh.
Oct 20 – Raiders
Oct 24 – Vikings.
Nov 3 – Seahawks.

October 3, 2024 at 6:02 pm in reply to: upcoming Packers game w/ broadcast map (game is basically national) #152516wvParticipantRams vs Packers at about 1:04 mark.
wvParticipantJared Verse covered in the vid.
wvParticipantBoth the lions and the seahawks looked electric and exciting, but kinda flawed too. (I know Seattle was without its top 4 Dlinemen)
I dunno if there’s a great team in the NFC this year.
Lotta contenders in the NFC.

wvParticipantNo.1 in pressure rate, and no 31 in opponent QB rating?
Has ‘that’ ever happened in NFL history?
w
v
wvParticipantIts not the 1 and 3 that ends the season, its the 1 and 3 and the injuries.
They fought hard, but this is exactly what happens when you play a really good defense, on the road without Higby, Kupp and Nacua, etc. People dont say much about Higby but its a big loss.
Defense apparently played decent, but the Bears offense is a joke so i expected that.
I hate to see Stafford ‘wasted’ like this. Ah well.
I watched a vid of the Packers almost coming back from a 28 point deficit. This could get very ugly. I dont think the Rams offense can match what the Packers offense is going to do.
1-5 before the bye.

wvParticipantBears lead series 54-39-3
First game was Cleveland Rams 2 – Chicago Bears 20, in 1937
First game of the LA Rams vs Chicago was in 1946 and ended in a 28-28 tie.
As ive said many times, my first realization that the Rams existed was on 12/8/68. On a black and white tv, at my grandmother’s house. Rams vs Bears. Fearsome Foursome. Gabriel. Brian Piccollo. Rams 16 – Bears 17. Bears have scared me ever since.

wvParticipantThis is a weird game. I dont really have a feel for it.
But….I just cant get past the injuries. Too many key injuries. And its on the road.
Granted, the Bears have the rookie QB. He’s not Purdy yet, or Goff.
I dunno.
Sigh.
Bears 20
Rams 17

Apparently, there’s things going on, i dont know about.

wvParticipantKittle and Deebo practiced yesterday, i see. Limited, but practiced.

Seahawks play the Lions next, i see. Then the Giants, 49ers, Falcons, Bills, Rams.
wvParticipantThey talk about Bears linebackers, and say ‘what worked against the 49ers may not work against the Bears’….
Rams stuff starts bout 53 minute mark.
wvParticipantUS / Israel pursuing “de-escalation through escalation”
wvParticipantI dunno if there is a stat on ‘close but missed sacks,’ but it seems like there’s been a lot of ‘almost’ sacks so far. They face another QB who can move, but I’m hoping for these young Dlinemen to not-miss this week.
