znModeratorStephon Diggs charged with ‘felony strangulation’
Yeah people should always go for misdemeanor strangulation. Not hard to learn the difference. It’s a technique thing.
znModeratorI guess they will just have to take it one game at a time, and give it 110%
And leave it all on the field.
It’s not over until the fat lady is over.
znModeratorThis loss apparently especially bothered people. On our board, when things go bad, posters often don’t vent, instead they withdraw.
December 30, 2025 at 1:25 pm in reply to: Atlanta game — tweets, plays, highlights, commentary #160648znModeratorI will say that the holding call on that TD was unconvincing to me. You see more flagrant holds than that every single game that go uncalled. It wasn’t a hold. It was a takedown with leverage, and I’m not sure if technically that is a hold nowadays, but like I said, you see worse every single game.
That was PI on the Tutu bomb, too. No question about it.
But I think the call was right on that spectacular Puka catch.
I’m not saying bad calls cost them the game. Whenever someone blames the calls, I always think that a team should look first at its own missteps and failings. (Like Humphries blowing the block on the Wms 4th down run inside the Atlanta redzone.)
But having said that, I have a very strong suspicion that there is some ref payback for Puka mouthing off about them. Which is one of the many reasons mature veteran players never do that.

Alaric Jackson
Tyler HigbeeThat’s a lot of reinforcements coming back just in time for the playoff run. If the Rams lose this game, which rn it looks like they will, they can still get the 5 seed. The sky is not falling!

Matthew Stafford’s throws to Atwell and Nacua on those second and third downs were about as good as it gets. There are so few people that have ever thrown the ball like this guy can.Falcons survive.

Joe Buck and rules analyst Russell Yurk called out the refs missing pass interference against the Falcons on a Rams deep ball in the final seconds.
"That's a missed call!"
"That's a pass interference."

znModerator1st half reaction: on the OL they’re missing Jackson, Dotson, and Hav.
McClendon has been playing well, but 3 out of 5 OL are replacements, which is obviously too many and tips things. Atlanta has a good pass rush. Stafford is not as comfortable. It’s 2022 all over again.
Humphries at LOT was the one who blew the 4th and 1 block, and the one who drew the flag that negated the 30+ yard pass. 2026 draft should include OTs and CBs.
For now, time to see if they can become a 2nd half team again.
And then Humphries got the flag that negated the TD to Nacua.
Anyway. At least they battled back in the 2nd half. Didn’t get there but they still get the #5 seed. In 2021, they were wildcard team but still made the super bowl.

znModeratorI’m worried that the Rams are actually a 4-win team, the practices are too damn long, players are about to mutiny, and Isaac Bruce is a malingerer.
For some reason I am reminded of this poem by Robert Creeley
…—John, I
sd, which was not his
name, the darkness sur-
rounds us, whatcan we do against
it, or else, shall we &
why not, buy a goddamn big car,drive, he sd, for
christ’s sake, look
out where yr going.Drive, he said.
znModeratorBTW, if Atlanta loses twice and the 3 teams immediately ahead of them win, the highest their pick can go is 8th.
Draft order as of now:
Las Vegas Raiders: 2-14; .544 SOS
New York Giants: 3-13 record; .531 strength of schedule
New York Jets: 3-13, .548 SOS
Tennessee Titans: 3-13, .576 SOS
Arizona Cardinals: 3-13; .577 SOS
Cleveland Browns: 4-12, .494 SOS
Washington Commanders: 4-12; .504 SOS
New Orleans Saints: 6-10; .491 SOS
Kansas City Chiefs: 6-10; .511 SOS
Cincinnati Bengals: 6-10; .520 SOS
Atlanta Falcons (pick belongs to Los Angeles Rams): 6-9; .498 SOSIf Atlanta wins either one of its remaining games, they could be lower than 11.
The only teams that can let them rise higher in the draft order by winnning are the Saints, Chiefs, and Bengals.
Their schedules:
Bengals are home against Arizona then Cleveland. They could easily win at least one of those.
Chiefs have just one game, the Raiders. Raiders are tanking for the 1st pick.
Saints are on the road in both Tennessee and … Atlanta! They could easily win one of those, and if they have to beat the Falcons or none of this works.
So highest possible pick is 8th.

Rams win next 2 : ✈️ CAR/TB
Rams lose 1 or both: ✈️ PHI/CHIznModeratorJust following the Chicago/SF game through online stats while doing other things.
It appears to be quite some game.
Right now, Bears are ahead 38-35 w/ a little over 5 to go in the 4th quarter.
Looks like neither defense can stop the other team’s offense. Both teams can pass, both teams can run. Though of course the Bears started off with a pick 6.
znModeratorPlus, he missed a wide open receiver on the last play of the game.
OH MY GOD JOSH ALLEN WITH THE CHOKE OF THE YEAR!!!

znModeratorI was hoping Josh Allen would not look like an MVP in this game. He came close. I dunno.
0 TD passes, sacked 5 times, 2 fumbles w/ 1 lost, qb rating of 88. Upside: 2 TDs rushing.
znModeratorI dont know who the heck Malik Willis is, but he looked like Lamar Jackson last night for the Packers. They might have another franchise QB on their team.
Kyle Malzhan@KyleMalzhan
Malik Willis will hit free agency after the season. He proved to be a starting QB in the NFL throughout his 2 seasons with the #Packers.– 6 passing TDs
– 3 rushing TDs
– 0 INTs
– 977 passing yards
– 261 rushing yardsHis pitch is simple: “What you put on tape is your pitch.”

Sean McVay says OL Kevin Dotson (ankle) and CB Josh Wallace (ankle) will be OUTOkay that’s 3 OL out: Jackson, Dotson, Hav. McClendon has been doing well, but replacing 3 OL at once does not put you in optimal territory, as Rams fans know all too well.
And 3 DBs out: Witherspoon, Lake, Wallace. McCreary stepping up.
On the other hand…they’re saving it for the postseason.

Roger McCreary (CB)
Decobie Durant (CB)
Larrell Murchison (DL)
Quentin Lake (S)You know, of all those, my bet right now is they only keep Lake.
They will likely draft more than one CB, and in fact early buzz is saying that the 2026 draft is strong at corner.
It’s probably worthwhile to take an early look at the 2027 FA list too since the 2026 draft could anticipate and compensate for potentially losing some of those guys. They can’t keep them all, so maybe they look at drafting kids a year early in 2026 who could step up for the players they might lose in 2027.
That would be the 2023 draft that would either have to be signed or replaced in or by 2027:
