wvParticipantIt will be interesting to see if L.A. Rams fans are willing to travel all the way to L.A. to see the Super Bowl.

When I think of Cincinnati Ohio, I always think of
Bengal Tigers.
btw, the evil-wv-ewe still lives in Cincy Ohio, and is still married to a long-time Bengal fan.   She’s still rooting for the rams, though.

wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantStop the presses {yawn}. Skip Bayless hates the Rams more than he hates the Commanders. Thatâs unnatural for a Cowboys fan. There has to be an Inciting Incident, and Iâd like to know what it is.

Well, he does indeed hate the Rams, but it might just be media-schtick
with Shannon Sharpe. Cuz Shannon always takes the Rams’ side.
Ya know.
Bayless calls McVay ‘mc-yay’ ever since McVay ran down the sideline
to congratulate desean jackson on the long td pass.

February 7, 2022 at 7:19 pm in reply to: the superbowl (us, media, etc)…updated w/ nice long article #136224wvParticipant.. Rams lost to Cards(11-6), Titans(12-5), SF (10-7)twice, and GB (13-4). The Rams are better in the trenches.
========
I do like the fact that the Bengals are not known as a bully team, like, say
the 49ers or Titans.  We know how ‘those’ kinds of teams look against the Rams.
But if the Bengals aren’t a physical-bully-team, what ‘are’ they exactly?
To beat the Raiders, Titans, and Chiefs, they gotta be ‘somethin.’
They took the Packers to overtime. Lost 25-22. Beat the Ravens 41-17.
Beat the Steelers 41-10.  Lost to the 49ers in overtime. 26-23. Beat the Chiefs
twice.
They are battle-tested.

February 7, 2022 at 4:38 pm in reply to: the superbowl (us, media, etc)…updated w/ nice long article #136215wvParticipantLooking at both teams players/coaches…the Rams sure look like
they have a slight edge.  The Bengals do not have an Aaron Donald, and they don’t have a Jalen Ramsey.  I would also favor Stafford slightly, over Burrow, because of the experience difference.
Having said that, the Bengals remind me a bit of Joe Willie’s 68 Jets.
Bengals 27
Rams 24

wvParticipant“…
The Rams are already in one of the worst financial positions for the 2022 cap, projected at this point to be well over it, but that will surely change based on a set of moves that have likely already been planned out by Les Snead and the front office. Parting with Andrew Whitworth, extending Matthew Stafford, restructuring Aaron Donald, these are all likely transactions that could technically make Miller affordable to the Rams.Miller referred to himself as a âColoradoanâ for life and though there were some strange rumors about Miller leaving Denver on bad terms, the potential behind-the-scenes conversations that are already happening around Aaron Rodgers and the Broncos could be the remedy for the future Hall of Fame pass rusher. The Broncos hired former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to be the head coach and former Green Bay tight ends coach Justin Outten as the offensive coordinator, though Hackett will call plays….
…Meanwhile, the rumored next defensive coordinator in Denver is Ejiro Evero, who is currently serving as the secondary coach for… the LA Rams. Evero worked with Vic Fangio with the San Francisco 49ers, a few years before Fangio became Von Millerâs head coach with the Broncos.”wvParticipant.. But, unless they know they can upgrade their O-line from outside the team, they better work hard to bring back Allen, Corbett, and Noteboom. Still draft for those spots.
==
My own wild-speculation would be this — Whitworth is gonna retire,
but what if…he turns out to be a Weddle?   Just come back
for the playoffs.   It would save him all that wear and tear, and
yet, he could probly still play at a high level……Â đ

wvParticipantJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue From a conversation with Rams GM Les Snead this morning, on how a team culture can become a living organism: âIt doesnât matter what signs you have on the wall. Places that have cultures that are substandard, not there yet or a little dysfunctional, a little off-kilter, they probably have inspirational long-living stoic-like quotes that weâd all base our life on. But culture is a living thing. And this one is alive, and well. You come here â itâs probably pretty simple: Youâd better love football, because thatâs what weâre gonna do here. Weâre gonna do football. Weâre not here to micro-manage (you)âŠYou better love football, you better want to get better at football, you better want to evolve at football, you better want to go from 101 to 102, 103, 104, 105 every day. And every day, who cares (about) social media â youâve got a life â but come in this building, football. If you donât love it, or donât really have the conscientiousness to go, âIâm gonna get out of the entry-level class to the next levelââŠI donât know if people who canât (do it) stick out (so much as) theyâre gonna *melt*.â

heard a player say he and the coach push ‘each other to be better’.
Usually its just the coach who gets to do the pushing.

At least they dont have to go up against Belichick
wvParticipantAnother nice vid from this dude
wvParticipantOne of the most important catches/moments in Ram history.
Playoffs only:
Ya got the Waddy catch.  The Isaiah Robertson INT.
The Proehl Catch.  The Ike catch. The Tackle.
And now the Stafford pass (to Kupp).
Thats about it, I think.

“However, there is important context. If Cincinnati blitzes Stafford, chances are it backfires. He led the NFL in quarterback rating (131.8) when blitzed, posting an incredible 13-1 TD-INT ratio and completing 74.4% of his attempts. The Bengals arenât a blitz-heavy defense, posting the seventh-lowest blitz rate (20.5%), this season…”

“..Even if Jalen Ramsey shadows JaâMarr Chase, which is unlikely considering how the Rams deployed their All-Pro corner this season, the Bengals can exploit other mismatches. At 5-foot-9, cornerback Darious Williams (179 receiving yards allowed in playoffs) will be on the losing end of a battle vs 6-foot-4 Tee Higgins. In the slot, Tyler Boyd can take advantage of nickel David Long Jr. (92.7 QB rating allowed when targeted)…”
