wvParticipantWell, as expected the celebrity-media has buried Stafford and the Rams.
I dunno.My expectations have officially changed, though. They wont win a Ring.
But I’m now just hoping for a wildcard berth and one playoff win.I cant quite bury them, yet, because they still seem
dangerous to me in a sense. I can picture them putting-it-all-2gether
in one playoff game and knocking any one team out.But first they have to make the playoffs.
This is not an easy schedule.

Jags
Cards
Seahawks
Vikes
Ravens
49ers

vwvParticipantHow come other teams just seem better than the rams?
w
vwvParticipantSaw a talking-head say the Cowboys have not been in an NFC
championship game in…25 years.Damn.
w
vwvParticipantBiggest game of the year, I guess.
Can the Hollywood, glitzy, star-studded Rams actually play hard-nosed, outdoor football against a winning team?Sure would be nice to see something out of Von Miller and/or OBJ.
I just dont know what this team can be without Captain Robert Woods.

Good day for Shepherd’s Pie
and Pumpkin Pie.w
vwvParticipantI believe Aaron Rogers has a bad toe as well.
I think the Rams win, by a toe.
Having said that, this season is ridiculous. Ive decided
no team deserves the Ring this year.Maybe the Cardinals, i guess. But that is also ridiculous.

vwvParticipant===========
DOWNTOWN RAMS [DTR]@DowntownRams
The high for GB on Sunday is a toasty 37 degrees.Stafford is 6-8 in games played under 40 degrees… Stafford has two wins at Lambeau in games under 40 degree temps. Both games were with Hundley and Kizer at QB.
===========What about barometric pressure?
They didnt even consider that.

vwvParticipantWV,
What’s your take on the conventional wisdom with regard to “human nature”? I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about evolution, biology, traits, etc. . . . and have discovered that the tide is turning. As in, the old ways of seeing humans as inherently violent, selfish, and hopelessly cruel, are being countered with a ton of evidence to the contrary..
===========
I think zn’s wording/thots on this were what I always return to.
Years ago, he basically taught me that ‘human nature’ is plastic,
adaptable.Cooperation and Competition both are ‘human nature’.
So any ‘system’ can plug into either and ramp up or suppress either,
to an unknown-extent.One of the reasons I’m a doomer, is because, I dont believe
its at all likely, that human-brains that have been born-and-raised
under generation-after-generation of capitalism, can be…um…’fixed’.
Too much damage. Damage is too deep.But who knows.

vwvParticipantI agree that Rittenhouse should have been “guilty of something.” He really did a stupid thing by simply injecting himself into a riot… But I think the prosecutor really fucked up by going for the Hail Mary, intentional murder charge. Clearly, the videos showed otherwise.
My question for you, as a lawyer, is…what did you think of the Judge and his interactions with the prosecution? I mean, he was PISSED.
====
I just didnt follow the case, Oz. Really, just barely paid any attention to it.
Saw a vid here and there. I got the impression the judge was a complete F’ing
asshole, but thats different from saying he F’d up any big ‘legal’ issues.
He made that one ruling about not using the word ‘victim,’ that I’ve
never seen before, but i dont know what his reasoning was, and i’m 99
percent sure that would not be enough to overturn the jury’s decision.I’m SO much more interested in the systemic-inequality in this nation
that causes permanent-poverty and thus spawns violent reactions
to an unfair system. The ‘individual’ trials all over america
dont really interest me. Its the ‘system’ that interests me.w
vwvParticipantwell. at first i was disappointed. but comparing him to the rest of the field. he still ranks third in qb rating. he ranks first in total qbr. he also ranks fourth in ypa.
football outsiders ranks him third although it’s possible he moves up after factoring prescott’s last game.
still a long way to go but not bad.
===============
I think some of us are kinda getting a more fine-tuned view of Stafford.
He’s definitely not one of those high-precision, always-accurate
type QBs. Like say, oh, i dunno…Montana, etc.He can be wild at times, like Goff.
But Stafford threatens the entire field, and he’s ‘accurate enough’
I think. He’s somewhere in the top-ten in the NFL.
Compare Stafford’s performance this year with, say, Mahommes, who
we know is HOF caliber. Or Russell Wilson, also HOF caliber. Or Dak.
Or Lamar Jackson. Or Josh Allen.I mean, all the top QBs have had bad games this year.
For me, what I’m seeing is mainly problems ‘around’ him.
Oline problems. And now, no Robert Woods which is huge.
And the running game is ok, but not top-ten.The focus is gonna be on the QB, as per usual, but
this team will go as far as the OLine takes them.w
vwvParticipantDunno how many of yunz have watched the vids of the actual incidents.
I watched it for the first time the other day.
(happened to see it on Jimmy Dore’s show. The vid starts around the 6 minute mark or so. I dont care about Dore’s take on this, but this is just where i saw
the actual footage)Having seen the vid, If i were a juror, i doubt I would have found KR
guilty of ‘murder’. I think he was guilty of ‘something’ though.For me though, my leading-edge thot, is that zeroing in on individual cases
like this is…oh…almost a distraction. It would be like zeroing in
on the OJ trial, or really, any particular incident.I think there’s an issue of missing the forest while focusing on a tree.
For me the mega-issue is essentially, Capitalism/Racism/Patriarchy
concentrated through the lens of neoliberalism is destroying
any chance for ‘justice.’As an aside, i’ll tell you, i would never talk about the Rittenhouse case
on twitter. Twitter just doesnt do ‘nuance.’ Plus, I dont think its possible to discuss it on twitter without being swarmed, plus there’s the word-limit-limitations, etc, etc.wvParticipantStafford’s has come back to the pack the last couple weeks, but by any statistical measure he’s still one of the top three QB’s in the league.
Neither INT against the 9’ers was his fault. The first one was picked because OBJ quit on the route, and the second one bounced out of Higbee’s hands.
======
Did OBJ ‘quit on the route’ or was he running a
different/shallower route than stafford expected?I dunno.
w
vwvParticipantSome of yuuz guyz are a lot tougher on Stafford than I am. To me, he’s only played one bad game: the Titan game.
The SF game was about the run defense for me. 19-play drives, etc.
Staffords ‘INT’ to Higby was a good pass. His INT to OBJ was not a great
decision, but i basically put it down as miscommunication with a new WR.
Ended up being a punt, essentially. Etc, and so forth.Losing Akers was huge. Losing Woods was huge. The Oline may be
wearing down.It would take a great offense to overcome a porous run defense.
Rams dont have a great offense.Looks like another wild-card kind of year for McVay.
Pretty good team, but not top-five.w
vwvParticipant“…While there, she claims he flew into a jealous, violent rage.”
—-‘Love,’
a breakup,
jealousy,
violence.Seen it a gazillion times.
Most of my male jealous-rage-abuser-clients over the years,
did not ‘mean’ to fly into a violent-rage. But they
could not stop the infantile-rage. Its like lightning.There’s usually something ‘infantile’ about such men.
Hard to describe. Something didnt develop.
I dunno.Protective Orders and stuff only come into play
when its too late.Something needs to happen to teach young boys
learn to handle emotional pain.w
vNovember 16, 2021 at 11:44 pm in reply to: Just a thread for different kindsa interesting things #134029wvParticipantWerner Herzog’s old vampire film is free on youtube, fwiw:
wvParticipantwvParticipantI am just disgusted.
This is the most disgusted I’ve been since – I don’t know when.
That beat down should have been the other way around, and I just don’t think there is an excuse for that. That game was over when the Rams botched the fake field goal. The Rams were done by HALFTIME in a game they HAD to have, against an opponent they should not have taken lightly, and which entered the game on its heels. And the Rams just got their asses kicked for the second week in a row.
Just no excuse.
================
Yeah, I havent said much, cuz i have no words.
I think you summed it up: disgusted.Two physical teams in a row, beat the crap out of
them. And a third is coming up.I guess this is what “All In” looks like.
w
vwvParticipantI was at the game. Here’s my report.
Atmosphere. Like every Rams-Niner game I’ve been to, save 07, when both teams stunk, it was really good. For a rivalry game, the two fan bases get on real well. I saw no problems, no fights or taunting. I was surprised at the number of empty seats between the 20’s. Way fewer Ram fans than previous years.
Now my take..
============
Good to hear from you, Oz.
What if the Rams have a collection of stars,
but not enough solid players?w
vwvParticipantJeezus. Saw that tweet-quote by JG
Jimmy G on 49ers’ opening scoring drive of 18 plays, 93 yards and 11 minutes, 3 seconds of game clock: “I don’t want to say it took their soul away, but it definitely did something.”
w
vwvParticipantI ordered the DVD a while back. Its outstanding.
Its on utube, btw:
wvParticipantGod told OBJ to choose the Rams.
He is blessed.God tore Woods’ ACL,
of course.God, man.
w
vwvParticipantWell, they were super bowl favorites for about
a day and a half.w
vwvParticipantI haven’t decided if I like the OBJ signing or not yet…
==========
Ponder what happens if Kupp gets hurt down the stretch.
Or Woods.Sometimes the talking-heads talk about how the rams offense
is “loaded with talent” etc. But if you really take a look at it,
it aint that loaded.w
vwvParticipantThere’s a vid out there on utube, where one of the celebrity-idiots
talks about Jalen Ramsey talking to OBJ on the phone, and at one point
there’s a question as to whether the rams WRs would accept OBJ, and Jalen
carries the phone into the WR room, and asks the WR’s if they want OBJ,
and they all answer enthusiastically yes.Who knows how true that is, or whether they were being sincere,
etc, and so forth.But I would think anybody would accept him if they knew
it was only for half a season.w
vwvParticipantWell, as long as there is no negative impact on the locker room, I’m fine with it..
====
Well, its just half of one season. How much damage could he do?
Took him years to stir shit in Cleveland.
The Rams seem to have some solid leaders. I think they can
handle OBJ. Plus, OBJ has a chance to win a Ring, and show
teams he can be a good team-mate. Its in HIS interest
to be a team-player for now.w
vwvParticipantMarcus Spears noted that the Stafford trade paid
“double dividends” because OBJ wanted to be with a great QB, etc.w
vwvParticipantTo me, its real simple — is he, or is he not,
better than van jefferson?If he is better than VJ, then you sign OBJ.
Now, if you were a DC, would you rather face,
Kupp, Woods and VJ,
or
Kupp, Woods, and OBJ ?I’ll take OBJ over VJ any day.
w
vwvParticipantI’m disappointed they didnt get rid of
another 1st round draft pick.w
vwvParticipantRed and Yellow uniforms? Are you kidding me?
We’ve all been ram fans for ages, around here,
and no-one has ever unearthed ‘that’ fact before.Damn.
Zine it.
Fwiw, Blue and White, (with white pants, of course) are
the purist and true-ist and holy-ist colors.w
