wvParticipant65 countries..
wvParticipantEnh. Too late in the year to get a topnotch NFL kicker. Grupe sounds like a mediocre bottom-tier kicker.
Which, apparently, will be an improvement. Possibly. Though, he doesnt sound any different than the last kicker, to me. I think this is just change to make a change. Optics, partly. Desperation, partly.
I dont believe the general problem can be solved mid-season. They can tinker around some, and maybe they can move up from 32nd to 25th. Which would be nice. I guess.

vwvParticipantHaven’t seen a QB carve up the Rams scrambling like that in a long, long time.
Yeah. …there was a blowout against Atlanta. Vick?
wvParticipantWhat do Evander Hollyfield’s ear and Super Bowl One have in common?
According to Sports Illustrated, they are part of 25 sports ‘lost treasures’ …
The Super Bowl one vid above: “both NBC and CBS telecast Super Bowl One. (there were only 3 networks at the time), but after the game both networks taped over the game. (tape was expensive so it was a common practice). That is why there is no full network tape of the Chiefs vs the Packers: Super Bowl One.
w
vwvParticipantSuper Bowl One.
Jet packs. Shit-show.
wvParticipantAlas.
McVay has to be furious to the point of derangement.
Generally, we think of McSnead as good at identifying a problem and fixing it the next season.
Alas.

Thomas A. EdisonwvParticipantSaw this on a vid: “despite being 2-3, the Rams remain co-favorites (with the 49ers) to win the Super Bowl” (according to Draftkings)
How nutz is that?

wvParticipantMike Ditka, the player. I did not realize how good Ditka was, back in the day.
“nobody knew what tight end was”
wvParticipantHe didn’t name the team. But it wasn’t the Rams. Under Vermeil, STs were a strength.
So you’re saying Vermeil was the Rams greatest coach since Tommy Prothro, and McVay is an idiot.
Well, that might be going too far.

Rams special teams ranking this year by EPA:..The 6th worst start to a special teams unit since 1999 through Week 5.
1999? Vermeil had lousy special teams that year? I dont remember that.
…That was Tony Horne’s big year wasnt it?w
vwvParticipantWell, we can expect the LT to be suspended for a game. That might get Stafford injured next week.
I just wanna see some ugly, gritty, grotesque wins the next few weeks,

BYEwvParticipant“put Myles Garrett out there, they still get run, the Rams are weak at the second level”
wvParticipantRosenthal: “Rams went into this game 32nd in DVOA which measures all the aspects of special teams.”
Jourdan R. : “it (special teams) is malpractice at this point”
wvParticipantRodrigue, Rosenthal. Jourdan and Greg just hammer McVay on the special teams issue.
Rodrigue: “it always came back to special teams. i dont know if this ever gets fixed…its an organizational failure”
wvParticipantAP
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson struck Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the head during the postgame jersey exchanges following Buffalo’s 37-34 overtime victory Monday night.Television cameras captured the exchange between Jackson and Chubb, who walked away after saying something emphatic. Jackson completed his jersey exchange and followed Chubb, confronting him and striking him with a blow that knocked the hat off Chubb’s head…

Defense had a ton of trouble with a big-fast-running-QB.
Special teams.
Lost to SF, Denver, Bills. Schedule eases up for a while now.
Not sure whats fixable and whats not.
We await the coming of Myles.
w
vwvParticipantWow. Scary. He has 6 INTs in his first four games this year, and has won only 2 games. Coincidence?
Look, I’m not predicting the Rams will go 2-15.
I’m just saying, time will tell.
w
vwvParticipantAccording to Nick Wright: “when an east coast team, travels to play a west coast team, in prime-time – the West Coast Team has won eleven straight. (and covered ten of eleven with one push)
w
vwvParticipantDid you know – Matt Stafford was part of a 19 game losing streak.
Lions were 0-16 in 08. Drafted Stafford in 2009 and started him game one. Lions lost first three.
Stafford had 6 INTs in his first four games in 2009.
They won 2 games that year.
w
vwvParticipantTexans trade second rd pick to Cards. Texans get Marvin Harrison.
wvParticipantLions. Haven’t seen this play in a long long time.
wvParticipantIt’s not just that, though you’re right about the return. But before that, the Eagles were in field goal position and they threw a pass. Inexplicably, the receiver went out of bounds, which of course stopped the clock. If not for that, they could have run the clock down to 0:01 before kicking what would have been the winning field goal (I don’t know if they had a time out but if not they had the time to line up and spike it). That mistake may have been even bigger than either letting them run about 40 yards on a kick return to get in FG position, or not waiting till the clock was at O:00 before tackling the returner.
What’s your take, if any, on Mr Sirriani?
w
vwvParticipantThe thing that struck me about the Jags last second win — 8 seconds left. The kick return took 7 seconds, leaving one second for the kick.
But it was just blind luck that the kick-returner went down after a 7 second return. The Eagles should have LET HIM RUN FARTHER. The tackler who tracked him down was WAY faster. He coulda just ran along side the guy for as long as he wanted. He tackled him about the 40. He coulda let him go thirty more yards. Time woulda run out.
I have seen this same kind of scenario play out. This isnt the kind of thing no-one would think about. Marshall Faulk would have known to let the guy keep running. I guarantee he would. Some players just know this stuff. Some coaches just know this stuff. I bet Belichick would know it.
w
vwvParticipantSilly-early Wildcard watch.
Packer, Lions, Bears, Seahawks – all at 3 – 2.
Vikings and 49ers – 5-0.
49er schedule: Wash, Atl, Vegas, Dallas, Vikings…
w
vwvParticipant49ers nip the Seahawks.
Purdy to Evans is a bit like Stafford to Kupp, in that there is just something supernatural about the connection. Its gonna be a problem as long as the substation allows it.
JSN drops a possible game-winning pass. Football gods feisty today.
Didnt realize Brandon Cooks was on the 49ers. Caught a TD. A clutch playoff drop awaits in the future.
Total yards: SF 269. Seattle 251.
Turnovers: SF 3. Seattle 4.
w
vwvParticipantDarnold – 43 QB rating in first half. Sacked 4 times. 1 INT.
QB controversy coming to Seattle?
w
vwvParticipantJayden Daniels blows the game. Lots of bonehead plays this month all over the NFL.
wvParticipantMatt Verderame@MattVerderame
…The other 20 teams are an absolute crapshoot every week. Could win. Could lose. Could be on the right/wrong side of a blowout. Just chaos.It has been a wild first month. The disintegration of the NFC East has been a surprise to me.
The Myles Garrett, Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart injuries are just huge.
Saquon Barkley too. Eagles had, like 22 yards rushing, i think.
w
vwvParticipantPackers leading Ben-Johnson 20 to 7, I see.
Fine by me.
w
vwvParticipantI must say, I am enjoying the Eagles season so far. I didnt realize that over the years, i have developed a hatred for Philly that has passed my Cowboy/Viking hatred.
Philly fans are apoplectic. Rabid.
