    I would go practice interviewing with the Jets, but that’s all. No way would I take that job.

    Staley is young, and he will get chances again next year. I wouldn’t sign with a dysfunctional franchise.

    San Diego I would maybe kick the tires on.

    Rams vs Cards was on CBS

    SF vs SEA was on FOX

    Good grief.

    I didn’t even check CBS. I’m so used to the NFC being on FOX that I forgot the networks are mixed this year. Damn.

    It really only matters as far as the Chat room goes, but I prefer to be in Chat and in real time.

    This is the most negative barrage of comments I have received about a game’s lack of integrity and that’s not even counting Giants-related bias.
    Consensus from those in NFL and who have been associated with it: Disgrace.
    That’s not the fault of the Washington Football Team.

    I don’t see why the Eagles owe anything to the Giants.

    And, btw, the Giants were 6-10 with 4 of those wins coming against opponents in the worst division in football. Another win was against 4-11-1 Cincinnati. They beat ONE team with a winning record. They can just shut right the hell up, as far as I’m concerned.

    AZ or SF would have won that division by 4 games.

    I have the 9ers/S’hawks game, not the Rams game.

    Attaboy, joemad. You did well this week. Wiped out the TV map from the Pacific Coast well past the Missississippi River.

    It would be quite the story if Wolford was able to lead the Rams to the playoffs in his first career start. It speaks volumes that McVay has confidence in this former undrafted free agent to step up and play well when the team desperately needs a win.

    Yes, to say the least.

    If the Rams somehow survive the wheels coming off their offense down the stretch, and get into the playoffs with Whitworth, Goff, and Kupp returning, the storyline will get very interesting in a hurry.

    John Wolford is going to turn Jared Goff into Wally Pipp.

    You saw it here first. I will get all the glory for having predicted it.

    And if it doesn’t come to pass, nobody will remember this post anyway.

    Unless John Cleese retweets it, in which case I’m sunk.

    Good Lord.

    John Wolford hype.

    Its all about the OLine, in a situation like this.
    The defense should be ok, but the cards are gonna
    take away the run. Their gonna force the kid
    to make pocket-decisions and execute.

    As I understand it, this kid can run.
    If was me, I’d let him run like crazy.
    Designed runs, run-pass options, that kinda thing.
    Wouldnt work over the course of a season,
    but in one game…

    I like that strategy. I will vote for you this off-season for OC next year.

    I really dropped the ball on Tom Tomorrow. 4 weeks worth. It’s as bad as a Goff fumble.

    I can’t see the Cardinals putting up much in the way of points.

    The Rams can win with Wolford giving the ball to Brown and Higbee.

    Defense played great.

    they played good. i wouldn’t say great. but they played good.

    offense was terrible. absolutely terrible. left at least 10 points on the board. at the very least.

    I dunno Invader. It seemed like around 1/3rd of the game we gave them the ball between the 40 and 50 yet still held them to 20 points. I think the defense played great.

    Yep. They had good starting position frequently.

    And they didn’t turn over the ball. The Rams, crucially, did turn it over on a drive that would have ended in points.

    And they stuffed the Rams twice from inside the one.

    Ball game.

    How many times was Wilson pressured yesterday?

    Comparatively:
    Wilson 32 drop backs, sacked 5 times, hit 8 times = 2TDs and QBR of 93.9.
    Goff 43 drop backs, sacked 3 times, hit 9 times = no TDs and a QBR of 61.6.

    Wilson is better than Goff.

    I don’t think anybody ever disputed that. But we’ve all seen Wilson’s performance significantly compromised by the Rams’ defenses over the years. He held up yesterday, but if the Rams had score 31 points and won the game, his 20 points on the board wouldn’t have his fans bragging about him right now.

    Also…one more thought. After the Patriots game, I would have said the Rams had pretty good odds on winning the NFC, and not bad odds on winning the Super Bowl. They would have been respectable underdogs, and with the #1 defense in the NFL, they were making me pretty hopeful. McVay appeared to have taken a step in game-planning the offense strategically against Belichick, and we were talking about the division title as theirs to lose.

    And they lost it. They looked bad in both games. The offense has looked as lethargic as the Jeff Fisher era. They’ve become complete longshots now. There is no way this team is getting past the Divisional round of the playoffs, and might not get to the playoffs at all.

    The wheels have come off, and the best we can hope for at this point is a dignified playoff performance in the Wild Card game.

    BTW, I haven’t seen the Reynolds play at the end of the game mentioned.

    They only showed the replay from behind the play once on TV, but it looked to me like the Seahawk touched Reynolds on the helmet strong enough for Reynolds head to bob on contact as he was headed to the ground. I don’t think Reynolds made a bonehead move. I think the ref missed that Reynolds was down. He had control of the ball as he was going down, so by rule, he was down.

    I agree with that. He was pressing. And it didn’t cost the game. The failure to score from inside the 1-yard line on two tries is a more significant failure.

    It was still a Terrible throw.

    I think it is true that the OL has not held up well recently. I don’t know why. I mean…Noteboom and the OL did well for a couple of games after Whitworth went down, so why now? Maybe defenses are pressuring differently now, and found a weakness to exploit. I dunno.

    And…I agree Goff’s performance is affected by pressure. All QBs are affected by pressure.

    But that interception was Terrible. He was not under duress when he threw that. And it did not appear that the ball slipped and came out sideways. It looked like he threw it there deliberately, and a QB with his experience should not make a horrendous throw like that. Goff just has an inexplicable quality to him where he goes all D&D and throws the 20-sided dice and makes insanely precise throws or misses his receiver by 5 yards. He has a Beserker arm.

    I am ambivalent about Goff. I don’t think the Rams should get rid of him. He’s okay, and having lived through some genuinely terrible quarterbacks as a Rams fan, I will take Goff. I don’t think he will ever be All Pro. Nothing from yesterday changes my opinion of him. He’s a 10-15 QB still, and I think that’s where he will always be. If everything else clicks, and Akers becomes Good Gurley, than he can be 8-10. He will never be Mahomes or Rogers or Brees. He is not going to the Hall of Fame. He won’t get a State Farm commercial. And I think these questions about him will never be put to rest because days like yesterday are common for him. It contained a WTF interception, and a failure to generate a comeback. I don’t have any confidence that Goff will hit Proehl in the end zone, or connect with Bruce to win a Super Bowl while being hit. Goff just doesn’t have “It.” Whatever “It” is. People talk about “will to win” and other phrases, none of which really hold up to explication, so I will just call it “it.”

    Talk about him lacking toughness should vanish after yesterday, though. Like one of the yapping people on tv said, that was a hockey player move resetting his thumb and finishing the game.

    And I don’t know about the play-calling, either. I will remember this season as the year the Rams never went deep, and Goff threw a million passes that travelled 15 yards horizontally, and 3 yards vertically. They have abandoned throws over 15 yards vertically, and it doesn’t seem like they attack the middle of the field much. This offense is pretty pedestrian, and seems to me they miss Cooks a lot more than I thought they would.

    We will rally around John Wolford, and we will play good football.
