Maybe Stafford can go all ‘Beautiful Mind’ with McVay and see the patterns unfold while dodging DEs, but I think too much is made of that. You don’t have to be a ‘rocket surgeon’ to excel at QB in the NFL. Marino and Montana were dolts but they are among the best QBs of all time. I don’t know what Goff’s issue is, but I don’t think it’s about intelligence or lack thereof.

I’m not really talking about intelligence. I’m talking about ‘presence.’ I agree about Montana, and even made a comparison between Goff and Montana during that rookie year. Football smarts is different from intelligence. I don’t recall Goff’s Wonderlic score. I’m not really talking about that.

He’s not…’present’ all the time. He has less awareness of his environment than average, I think. “Head in the clouds.” I don’t know how else to put it. That’s not intelligence, exactly.

Stafford already matched Goff’s 15-yard TD total from 2020
Matthew Stafford threw two 50-plus-yard touchdown passes in the season opener against the Bears, which matched Jared Goff’s total from the season prior. He added another 16-yard touchdown pass on Sunday against the Colts, bringing his season total of touchdown passes that traveled at least 15 yards to three.

Incredibly, that tied the same number of such touchdown throws that Goff had in 2020. It just goes to show how much more aggressive the Rams are being under Stafford.

Edit: That’s from Cameron DaSilva. Sorry.

Tough game. I prefer easier games, but the Win in the column works just as well as a pretty victory, and in December, I won’t remember that it was kinda ugly.

Wentz is not dead. That guy can play football well.

Cooper Kupp is amazing, and I want that guy signed up for the rest of his career.

Great goal line defense. It took the Colts 11 tries from inside the 5 to finally score a TD.

I agree that the secondary work does not look as good. They have the guys to go man coverage, and I don’t know why you wouldn’t do that if you could. Zone (seems to me) is how you go if you’re doing the best you can with a so-so secondary.

Sony Michel looked okay, and I just think he’s going to end up with most of the carries this year.

Cooper Kupp is good.

Morris should watch last year’s tape on the Rams/Bucs, and take notes on whatever Staley did because that was the worst I have ever seen Brady play.

Why are conservatives always posting pictures of capitalism to prove that socialism is bad?

from Robert Rochell went from high school recruit with 0 stars to Rams top rookie in Week 1

Rochell should continue to see heavy action on the defense and perhaps could only see his playing time ramp up now that he’s upgraded from the one program that always believed in him to a professional defense that actually really needs him right now.

Well, ramping up to speed is something that has never been a problem for Rochell before.

My favorite play so far though, was not by a Ram.
It was by this Montgomery kid. That S.Joseph.Day would-be tackle
in the backfield. The kid was rammed and wrapped up — and he just
would not go down. Old school football. 70’s football. Loved it.

Somewhere Brian Piccolo smiled.

I have some bad news to share about Piccolo. DM me, and I will fill you in.

“These refs are blind, I swear.”

“AD!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Tutu IS fast”

“Arrggh… that’s where the loss of Massey really hurts.”

I’m ready for this.

My whoops and hollers are in mid-season form, and on defense, my cussing figures to be among league leaders.

Snake came out

That’s India.

I just checked and your tweet is still there.

Yeah. I tweeted a response, and then scrolled down to read other comments for a bit, and scrolled back up, and my tweet was gone. So I went to my page to see if it was on my feed, and it was not there. This was about a minute or two after I tweeted. So I Quote Tweeted, screen-captured that, and posted here. Then I went back, and my tweet WAS there. So there was just some sort of weird lag time event that I have never seen happen before. All a big mistake.

I would have come back to delete my post here, but I can’t do that since this board is a right wing dictatorship.

My thing is like the guy in the Tiktok with the wife with cancer… If you don’t trust medicine, at least be like a 7th Day Adventist and refuse all medical care.

One tiny little thing there:

7th-day Adventists don’t refuse medical care. I know. I was brought up a 7th-day Adventist. My grandpa, my dad, and one of my idiot brothers were all doctors. Loma Linda University is one of the most reputable medical universities in the country, and it is a 7th-day Adventist institution. Medical care is actually the SDA’s strong point.

You may be thinking of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who refuse blood transfusions, or Christian Scientists, who have made headlines refusing health care. In the latter case, though, their official belief is that prayer works better when there is no medical interference (which has led to people “proving” their faith), but most adherents do access health care for most needs.
