znModeratorI’m heading over to the Mirage right now to collect my winnings on the Rams +3.
Well done.
znModeratorHEART: This hurts. They almost had the game…
HEAD: Even being in the playoffs exceeded expectations for a young team and promises a great future. Yes losing is bitter but this wasn’t their year–they’re so young, there’s a lot that must be improved, and they would have lost in the post-season at some point anyway. By losing now, they get a higher draft pick. Be proud of their season and take solace in the fact that their future is bright.
HEART: Oh gee great thanks, that was all pretty well said for a Seattle fan….
znModeratorRams outplayed Detroit. They were the better team. More yards. More yards per play. Same third down efficiency.

znModeratorRams Brothers@RamsBrothersSeason full of over-achieving for the 2023 Los Angeles Rams.• Stafford, Kupp and Donald stayed healthy for a majority of the season. Combined, they only missed 6 games (excluding the finale).
• Offensive line was your biggest question mark in 2022. 2023 brought us Steve Avila and Kevin Dotson. The unit as a whole performed exceedingly well, based on expectations.
• Defensively, rookies Kobie Turner and Byron Young proved to be viable starters and potential stars. The Rams may lose Raheem Morris, but schematically, they got the most out of econdary that had the most turnover in the league.
• Special Teams was a dud. But, Ethan Evans will be a starter for the foreseeable future and they loved their long snapper (Alex Ward) before he got hurt. Kicker will be addressed in the draft or via FA.
FUTURE IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueSean McVay said during his postgame press conference that he was not sure whether Matthew Stafford was evaluated for a concussion, then looked to a team spokesperson next to him for clarity and that spokesperson said he was. Stafford later added he hurt his ribs as well.
znModeratorPuka Nacua. Good lord. I’d like to think, “Just wait until next year,” but I don’t see how he can improve on his game. Like… how?
Analysts I’ve seen have shown that he still runs routes like a rookie and can improve in that area. He’s just so great at contested catches, it’s not always visible that yes he can improve his route running (and most likely will). At one point he led the league in drops. His catch percentage for 2023 was 65.6%, which is respectable but can be improved. For example in his best years, Kupp was in the mid 70s–around 74% to 76% depending on the year. So PN can improve in that respect too.
And. Just imagine. 😎

Not only did the Lions just win their first playoff game in 32 years, that was just their second playoff victory since 1957.Blaine Grisak@bgrisakTST
I do think this game shows how much the Rams need a playmaker in the secondary and another pass rusher.Defense grew into the game and Morris called a great second half. But 21 first half points was tough to overcome.
Ross Tucker@RossTuckerNFL
So much respect for the way these Rams WRs block. Kupp, Nacua, all of them.trey wingo@wingoz

znModerator31 has every right to go for the ball. The problem is 29 isn’t even looking and interferes with Robinson and his own team mate going for the pick. I feel the refs got so caught up in allowing 31 to play the ball that they forgot about 29. https://t.co/CYON4QB00P

znModeratorTook over Tampa team near bottom of NFL in spending & won 10 games in 2010. Bucs didn’t have another 10 win season between 2006 & Tom Brady
Falcons have requested to interview him so they must think he can be more than the interim

znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakTSTRams safety Quentin Lake ranks fifth in yards per snap in the slot and fourth in fewest yards allowed.
znModeratorBoth teams got exactly what they wanted from it.
Thomas Shelby@ramsfan1987Both is the only right answer. LA got a ring and Stafford looks to be lasting longer than most expected, playing at this level in 2024, and the Lions got a QB on the rise and picks to make the team better. Both would be worse off without the trade.
znModeratorroberto clemente@rclemente2121most wins by a rams hc: mcvay passed knox in wk13 vs cle and is now only 2 gms behind j.robinson – if the rams reach/win the cc gm, mcvay will become the rams all-time win leader. most games coached by a rams hc: mcvay can tie knox w/ a win today, and pass him next week.
znModeratorPro Football Reference@pfrefThe winning starting quarterback of today’s Lions/Rams matchup will become the first quarterback ever to win a playoff game against a team for which he previously started a playoff game.
znModeratorIt may have something to do with Brad Holmes and Les Snead. 2 of the top-5 GM’s in the league. https://t.co/bnABA5zrPD pic.twitter.com/83VTFc4wgA

znModeratorI'm shocked at how often the Browns' defense not only served up C.J. Stroud's preferred single-high coverage on a platter, but gave Stroud no disguise and late movement to work though. Very static with easy reads, and Stroud made some THROWS. pic.twitter.com/8JwNKmkOiD
