    LA beat writers on zoom with Packers coach Matt LaFleur this AM following his presser w GB; LaFleur noted that with Stafford, McVay has been “very aggressive – you can see there are a lot of longer-developing plays where he is pushing the ball down the field. So you truly have to

    defend the entire width of the field, as well as the length.”

    More from LaFleur to reporter’s question framed around emotion of last matchup for Donald being motivating for him: “This guy is a complete game-wrecker. I’ve got so much respect for him, first of all, just how he approaches the game, his work ethic, what kind of teammate he
    is, and then he’s able to be as effective in the run game as he is in the pass game. I mean, every play, his motor is non-stop. Then you look at his play-time and he’s playing almost the entire game every week. He is just relentless, he’s got the right mindset. Certainly don’t

    want him to be any *extra* motivated, but it’s going to be a great challenge not only for our offensive line and some of those individual matchups that he’s going to have up front, but for everybody on our offense. Everybody needs to make sure that they are doing their job to the

    best of their ability in order to try to stop a premier player like that.”

    Matt Schneidman@mattschneidman
    Matt LaFleur asked by a Rams reporter how it makes him feel that Aaron Donald is extra motivated because the Packers ended their season.

    LaFleur jokes: “I wanna cry.”

    We’re two days away from 20 million people complaining about the Bears-Lions matchup while choosing to watch it rather than talk to their families.

    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. He’s completed 59.7% of his passes with 26 TDs to 11 INTs. Stafford has two wins at Lambeau in games under 40 degree temps. Both games were with Hundley and Kizer at QB.

    Many scientists now think we defeated other hominids because we could work together with much larger groups than they could, and that we lived communally, with almost no hierarchy, for most of our time on this planet. That we’ve basically self-domesticated, and reduced violence radically. More and more scholars are also beginning to think that our downfall was leaving our Hunter-gatherer lifestyle behind. We were healthier, stronger, freer, and lived longer before the switch to settled, agro-villages, etc.

    I think most if not all statements about universal human nature are ultimately ideological.

    However, I also think there is something to the idea that primitive humanity was cooperative and not inherently selfish.

    Still that doesn’t explain conflict between groups. So while each group may be cooperative internally, that says nothing about how groups treat each other (which is also a mixed bag and includes trade and negotiations along with violence.)

    And the cooperative group notion fails to account for the sexual division of labor, which is often if not always oppressive.

    A lot of these issues come up in discussions of post-apocalyptic fiction and film. You can’t do a post-apocalyptic narrative without making claims about what “human nature” is when civilization disappears or is broken. But then any claim you make in such narratives is ultimately ideological at its core.

    I think some of us are kinda getting a more fine-tuned view of Stafford.

    I just now noticed I screwed up in the original post in this thread, and somehow (?) made it look like someone else wrote your quoted bit in that original post.

    I fixed it.

    Which reminds me of a joke. There was this bit on facebook, where someone posts a mock quiz and your response is to be only 3 words. The question was this–you come home and all your major relationships from the past are there waiting for you. What do you say, using only 3 words? My response was “I can explain.”

    In terms of Stafford. I have a very simple take on that. He had 2 really bad games last year too. That’s not unusual for him.

    The OL is a question. Some people think that after an initial good start, Allen has regressed. I hope not.

    The injury to Deayon late in the week clearly affected the secondary against the Niners. Played more vanilla coverages to accommodate Rochell/Long it seemed

    Severe storm conditions headed towards Green Bay. #LARams

    XXXIV@WITRandy
    Weather forecast for Sunday’s kickoff in Green Bay – a balmy 39 degrees. We still have to deal with Rodgers and his salty attitude after their loss yesterday. AD was not at full strength in last years playoff game. He will be this time

    Sean McVay indicated that OLB Justin Hollins could be ready to play after recovering from pec injury by early/mid December.

    not to be overly exaggeratory in any one of the “fixes”. Offense is not “bad”. Small threads here and there, from plan to calls to execution, should get this thing moving again. Don’t have to OVERcorrect, don’t have to compound offense etc

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    Rams HC Sean McVay said OLB Leonard Floyd sustained a concussion in Week 10 against the 49ers, but doesn’t expect it to affect his status for this Sunday’s game against the Packers.

    CB Dont’e Deayon is progressing well from his hamstring injury.

    Some good movies coming at Christmas and Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker is coming out, so I can be distracted until we’re all indentured servants in the Metaverse… so I got that going for me…

    See that’s what I always say. Think positive!

    The balance to The Verdict may come in the 1/6 hearings. There have already been a couple of convictions.
