The Rams are rolling with Lucas Havrisik. They released Mason Crosby from the practice squad today, so Havrisik is the lone kicker in LA. They also put Hunter Long and Alex Ward on injured reserve

Well, most Rams fans are hoping the RAMS are in the Super Bowl, but you do you.

If there’s one thing this season has taught us fans, it’s that the Rams —>*suck*<— at tanking.

They have absolutely no idea how to do it.

None whatsoever. Not a single clue. Nothing.

Credit to the Rams’ entire staff for getting this kind of value/productivity out of the rooks. And Aaron Donald.

here's the moment the ball left staff's hand on the td pass to kupp – kupp hasn't even made his cut yet, he will take 6 more steps before even looking up for the ball. pic.twitter.com/dbOPLwivXa

helluva job by stafford on this 4th quarter go-ahead td pass w/ under 5 min left in the game, avoids heavy pressure after van noy splits noteboom and dotson and delivers a strike to an alert drob. pic.twitter.com/Ixq4rq3qgy

it’s too early to say at this point. but with long out. and i don’t know what the status of higbee is at this point. might we get a closer look at davis allen these last four games?

Yeah probably. I want to see how his blocking looks.

Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
I’ve felt this way for a while, and I think it’s really showing up today: The NFL has an offensive line issue. All the reductions in practice time and contact have wreaked havoc on teams ability to develop OL depth, and that’s made injuries catostrophic.

It’s a real problem.

Geoff Schwartz@geoffschwartz
Many reasons for decline in OL play, including what you mentioned. No one talks about coaching that often but some coaches have not adapted to less time for practice/film. They waste time doing stupid drills and doing too much cya. And some coaches just aren’t good.

Allen was good stepping in for all the TEs ahead of him Sunday. Nice performance by a rookie.

But to me what he did in the Baltimore game just cemented what he had already done in the Arizona game, where he used his ridiculous catch radius to snag a low pass while remaining upright and running. I don’t know about his blocking yet but he looks to have a ton of promise.

JimEverett.eth@Jim_Everett
Joe Noteboom looked more comfortable & productive at RT.

roberto clemente@rclemente2121
in fact i just took at peek at pff, they ranked him #18 among 52 qualifying ot for wk 14, #13 in run blk, a far cry from the absolute bottom of the barrel rankings they usually give him!

so  not bad for an outfit that had ranked him #72 out of 73 tackles (min 400 snaps) headed into week 14.

B.T. Productions@BT_Productions5
For another consecutive week the #Rams rookies Byron Young and Kobie Turner lead all rookies in sacks. This time Byron Young leads all rookies with 6 and Kobie trails by half a sack. The two rookies will now compete for most sacks by a rookie

Stu Jackson@StuJRams
Davis Allen boosting the reputation of an already well-regarded Rams 2023 draft class.

…

Todd G.

I know a lot of fans are gonna be upset but I felt there were a lot of positives today. Alaric Jackson second good game in a row against really good competition. Davis Allen not only looks like the tight end of the future, but possibly, the tight end of the now. Demarcus Robinson and Stafford need work together but he may be that true X receiver the Rams under McVay have seldom had. Kyren Williams is turning into a star! Over 100 yards on this defense??

Great efforts and degree of difficulty on these two catches in the rain by our two star receivers.

Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are just dawgs. They just want to compete and whether rain or shine or sleet or snow these guys would be out there ball for free! pic.twitter.com/ZNuv1wALne
