wvParticipantSF has beaten the Rams in LA, the Cowboys in Dallas, and the Pack in Green Bay.
They’ve owned McVay. Six in a row for Shannahan.
Dee-Bo could beat Chuck Norris with one ankle in a cast.
I see a pick6 coming in the first half. Live by the gunslinger,
die by the gunslinger. Or somethin.
49ers 20
Rams 10

wvParticipantI missed this one — stafford enjoys ‘taking their soul’
wvParticipantwvParticipant…btw, I know the skip bayless tirade is full of outrage and fake-tv-outrage, yadda yadda…but, he does make some good points if you are a bucs fan.
That team was playing with some key street-level back-ups.

wvParticipantDo the Rams get this far without the two midseason deals? OBJ and Von.
Both players have made big plays and VM has gotten better and better. I assume his ankle just needed time.

wvParticipantSkip-Bayless loses it.

the packer game, with an ankle issue.Deebo had some sorta ankle injury as well.

wvParticipantPossibly the best Divisional Round in NFL history?
And so many ‘story lines.’ Aaron Rogers and Tom Brady go home.
NFL/TV suits are hoping the super bowl aint: Cincy vs Garopolo
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantThat last throw, is what they got Stafford for.
He launched it.Its the kind of play thats been intercepted this year.
But in the biggest game….there was the gunslinger.
w
vwvParticipantKupp in his presser, called that last route the
“love of the game route”w
vwvParticipantWhole-Lee Shit 🙂

wvParticipantSaw the hi-lites of both saturday games. Wow. Looked like throw-back games to the early 70s. Ferocious defenses, sacking QBs at will.
Looked like Rams vs Vikings or Steelers vs Raiders from the 70s.Kinda fun to see.
Not sure i was expecting that. I mean sure, Titans and 49ers play that way, but the Bengals and Packers?
I assume the Chiefs vs Bills will not look like that.
Dunno what to expect from Rams vs Bucs.
…wonder if DeeBo will be able to play next week?

vwvParticipantListen to this Nightmare Scenario…
January 22, 2022 at 4:50 pm in reply to: setting up the Tampa game … us, reporters, analysts, etc. #135601wvParticipantI dunno. I keep seeing vid after vid talking about the Bucs OLine injuries.
Nothing. Absolutely nuthing on Whitworth.Its a HUGE loss. The guy is more than his blocking. He’s a leader, a force.
I think both teams might lose, sunday.
===========wvParticipantWhole-Lee shit. No Whitworth. Sigh.
That is the sound of a ship hitting an iceberg.

—January 19, 2022 at 2:21 pm in reply to: setting up the Tampa game … us, reporters, analysts, etc. #135560wvParticipantI guess what sets Brady apart is his ‘mentalfootball processor.’
Some sorta brain-thing. An ability to process lots of kaleidoscopic football-info
really fast and then make a decisive, accurate throw.So ya got your mental ‘processing’ part of it,
and the physical ‘accuracy’ part of it.Added to that, you had Belichick for all those years,
and in Tampa you had a perfect storm of talent around him.Then ya got his single-minded commitment to health, nutrition,
film study, leadership, team-first-orientation.Added to that you have some luck as far as
being injury-free for decades, in a rough sport.I have always despised the man for his politics and
I still do, but I have also had to give him a
smile and a sigh and concede he is and has been the best
drop-back-QB I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen Kurt, Marino,
Staubach, Aikman, Stabler, Griese, Montana…But the game is changing, and I dont even know if
Mahommes, Josh Allen, etc are playing the same position as Brady.
Tomlin was interesting the other day in an interview. Said he
valued a QB who could move. Said the game is changing.To win a Ring, the Rams would have to go thru
Brady, then probly Aaron Rogers, then probly
Mahommes/Josh Allen.As good as Stafford is, and i do think he was an upgrade,
just look at those ‘other’ top-QBs. Damn.It will take a team effort, obviously. Gonna have to be defense,
special teams and a running game and no stafford-panic/arrogant-throws.Unlikely they get thru that murderers row of elite-QBs on playoff-teams.
Ah well. I cant pick against Brady at home. If it were in LA, I might,
but its in Tampa. No-one is more equipped to pick on the Rams Linebackers
and weak-links in the secondary than Tom Brady. He just aint gonna hold the ball.
He just aint.Tampa 27
Rams 20wvParticipantCam Akers getting a lot of attention in the media:
wvParticipantHaf to admit, I liked his shoes.
w
vwvParticipantI like Woods, a lot. He is good at a lot of different things. With the ball in his hands, he has the vision and sense of space you find in RBs. I would never disparge him or underestimate him. But I also think Beckham just has some elite traits. I think he has some traits that are a higher level that even Ellard, Bruce, and Holt.
As I said I think his hands are magic special. And his “vertical vision” and “vertical timing” (if I can coin those terms) is special.
=============
I didnt realize you hated Ellard, Bruce and Holt so much.
Why dont you hate on Harold Jackson and Jack snow
while you’re at it.w
vwvParticipantFun Fact from John Breech at CBS:
“The loss means that the Cowboys have now gone 11 straight playoff appearances without reaching a conference championship game, which is the longest streak in NFL history.”
======================
Yeah, I’ve been savoring all these Cowboy factoids the media has been spewing.
I think I’ve finally found something about the media I like.
w
vwvParticipantGeorge Allen? Zero playoff wins with the Rams? Damn.
Hadn’t thought about that.
w
vwvParticipantI know what you’re saying about Beckham, but to me what sets him massively apart is his hands. He may be the best pure Rams “hands” catcher I have seen, though Bruce and Holt and Ellard were obviously good too.
Beckham just has magic hands..
===========
Yeah, Brandin Cooks had over a thousand yards for the rams, but i never
really trusted his hands in traffic, or if the ball was high.But OBJ is a guy i might throw it to even if the DB wall all over him.
Still…i dunno if OBJ/Kupp is better than Robert Woods/Kupp. I dunno.
w
vwvParticipant“Mcvay took pressure off Stafford…it was a Jarod Goff gameplan”
wvParticipantHeard a stat: Staffords game — highest rated Playoff QB rating of any ram qb in
ram history. At the six minute mark.wvParticipantGreat win. Rams are an NFC-final-four team, as they should be.
Its been a ‘good year.’
But can they do better than ‘good year’ ?
Saw a stat, btw. Most years before a playoff win:
Brodie, Deberg 14 years.
Stafford, Tarkenton, Morrall – 13 years.Cam Akers was such a big loss. I had no expectation of him
making back 100 percent ‘next’ year, let alone ‘this’ year.Stafford looked like he was consciously — very very consciously – trying
NOT to make any dum passes. …but there was that long pass that
should have been an INT. Sigh.OBJ is just ‘different’ than any other Ram WR i can remember.
He doesnt seem like he quite fits the usual ram-model. Its not his route-running
that sets him apart, its more like his ‘spring-ee-ness,’ bouncy-ness, strength,
and hands. Woulda been awesome if Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and OBJ were ALL
out there. Ah well.Some great games coming up.
