Sean McVay on RG Austin Blythe:
Good news. He’s day-to-day with a low ankle sprain.*If Blythe is unable to go in Week 3, it would be the first time a @RamsNFL offensive lineman misses a start due to injury since McVay was hired.
Cool cool.
ZooeyModeratorI’ve watched that blown call play many times and I think it should have been a personal foul on Davenport Rams’ ball 1st and goal. Forearm shot hit Goff in the head and upper chest and ribs . I looked it up and yes it’s a loss of 15 yards penalty but because his Jersey doesn’t say Brady or Rodgers nobody says a word.
This is the Cam Jordan fumble recovery play?
ZooeyModeratorSeems like a lot of people are reluctant to give the Rams and Goff credit. I don’t know why that is. But their winning seems to be minimized, and their mistakes presented as their True Character, or whatever.
This team is really, really good. Really good. And people are saying they are going to miss the playoffs?
Yeah…I don’t think so.
ZooeyModeratorI already lost a good female friend this weekend because she told me to calm down because it was just a game. Any idiot that says that doesn’t realize what being a saints fan is all about. I am proud to be a saints fan since it is about family, integrity, loyalty, perseverance, and flat out passion.
I think your female friend might be on to something.
Saints fans have every reason to be bitter. There was the Minneapolis Miracle one year, followed by last year’s bitter defeat.
So I understand they wanted to exorcise all those demons yesterday in magnificent fashion, and I get that the blown call hurt.
But the Rams beat the shit out of the Saints yesterday, and that’s the truth. So those fans will get over it, and they’ll be back. Especially after they march into Seattle next week and beat Nittany’s favorite team back to the Stone Age.
ZooeyModeratorEnh. Okay. Hands to the face.
Can’t tell that he deliberately took off the guy’s helmet. I kinda doubt that was the intent because…nobody in the heat of a play calculates that taking off somebody’s helmet is a good plan. Looks to me like they were scrapping, and that thing happened. And the “blow to the chin” looks to me like a push off to the chest, but that’s me.
Also…I won’t miss Peters if they don’t resign him given the depth they have, and his likely price tag.
ZooeyModeratorI thought the call on Noteboom was marginal, but only got to see it once on replay.
ZooeyModeratorWell, i keep thinkin either bernie or warren will have to drop out, and maybe they join forces and will be on the same ticket. I would think that would be about as good as the duplicats can get.
Biden is just such an embarrassment in so many ways. And the DNC’s great hope Kamala, was a disaster.
Trump is by far the most…’interesting’ politician I can think of.
w
vI oppose having them both on the ticket. The VP is the trophy wife of politics, and if we are lucky enough to have one of them as president, we will need the other one in the Senate. Getting rid of McConnell is arguably more important than anything else. Support for Kamala seems to have stalled which is a good thing. My big fear is a brokered convention, and I think we will get one unless either Sanders or Warren drops out. Hopefully they work that out. Can a candidate “will” his/her delegates? I don’t think so. I think they are free to vote differently on the second ballot at the convention, though. Not sure. I think the last brokered convention was ’68, and all I remember of that was the police arresting everybody outside.
But Biden, Sanders, and Warren could each come up short of the winning number, and then the DNC fucks everybody over by forcing Biden on us, and Trump gets a second term, and Ginsburg dies, and Trump appoints Alex Jones to the Supreme Court, and we all get to live The Road while billionaires live in luxury bunkers.
At the moment, I’m for a Sanders/Castro ticket. I think that’s a winner.
ZooeyModeratorHe’s the best shot we have.
We don’t know if he will get us anywhere.
But we know for sure none of the other candidates will.
ZooeyModeratorThat was interesting.
Funny, though. I remember the Boston Patriots, and disapproved of the name change to New England.
Had NO idea that happened when I was 11 years old. Would have guessed late 70s, or even 1980.

ZooeyModeratorYeah, the only reason it was called the National Socialist Party was because socialism was popular among the working class in Germany during the economic turmoil following WWI. The newly formed Nazi party simply wanted to tap into that.
I use the same argument you mention above whenever my brother thinks he’s scoring points by reminding me that the KKK was started by southern Democrats. Then I remind him which political party the modern KKK endorses. It shuts him up for about a week. Then he’ll rehash the same argument. It’s like I’m stuck in a bizarre, Trumpian Ground Hog Day time loop.
No matter how often I tell him that even though I’m a registered Democrat, I don’t really consider myself a Democrat. I’m a Dem only because in a two party system, I was forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. Regardless, he still thinks he’s going to shock me into submission by reciting Dem transgressions. He can’t see beyond the Dem/Rep false dichotomy, or understand that the Left and Liberals aren’t synonymous.
Yeah, having been around in circles on several topics with my own idiot brothers, I can sympathize. It’s funny the way they think they “score points.” It’s often “Obama” or “Clinton” or whoever, sometimes it’s sheer fiction (or both…like when my brother argued that the Iraq War was fine until Obama allowed ISIS to take over. Recently he pulled the “I’m a scientist, so I know better” card on me during a debate on climate science. He’s a physician.
Thing is…they aren’t interested in anything other than protecting an ideology. We will never convince them that Nazis don’t share an Essential Authoritarianism with the Left no matter what. We aren’t going to convince them that Republicans are racist no matter what. I can’t convince my brother that the overwhelming preponderance of climatologists around the world have the weight of evidence on their side, and are not motivated by the desire to further enlarge the government appetite for destroying business.
We occupy different realities. They FEEL like theirs is the Truth, and that’s that.

September 11, 2019 at 1:23 pm in reply to: do the poor Saints stand even the remotest chance against the Rams? #104953ZooeyModeratorYeah, I don’t like the color of this one. I do think that the Saints are going to want this game more badly than the Rams do, and since they’re pretty even…I think the Saints are going to cause Trouble.
The short week and the flight are overrated, imo. They’ve been thinking about this game plan since the start of camp. That shortened week isn’t going to matter, especially this early in the season.
As always, it will come down to a handful of pivotal plays.
ZooeyModeratorI also like how they believe the game was rigged deliberately.
And that Rams fans hate the Saints.
And that hitting a QB while he is passing is Roughing.
And how everyone knows the Saints are better, including Rams fans.
ZooeyModerator
ZooeyModeratorWolff’s larger point about how the left just cant get along with itself made me smile. I’ve been wondering about that for a decade. Why cant leftists organize more effectively? Put ten of em in a room and they start tearing each other apart. I dunno. Anyway, thats how it seems to me.
w
vYou are so fucking wrong I don’t even know what to say, you asswipe.
ZooeyModeratordamn
ZooeyModeratorThere is time, though…
ZooeyModeratorHey…New Orleans…
How is life going for you the last couple of games?
ZooeyModeratorL
O
LZooeyModeratorWow. Roughing the kicker.
ZooeyModeratorI don’t know where to put this pointless thought:
I heard the Browns were supposed to win the Super Bowl this year…
ZooeyModeratorA win on the road against a pretty good team (playoff potential) after zero live snaps in the preseason…
Not worthy of the cover photo of a national magazine…but I will take it without complaint.
Beat the Saints next week, and I will start to take this team seriously.

ZooeyModeratorI just had to post those pictures on Facebook a few months ago. I lost a bet with Nittany over something.
ZooeyModeratorMy first reaction was surprise at the size of the contract.
And my second reaction was to put it in the category of “They Have Given Me No Reason To Doubt That They Know What They Are Doing.” This ain’t Martz/Armey.
Snead has been here…seven years?
I have watched football since 1968, and apart from that incredible accumulation of talent in the early 70s, Snead has a better track record than anybody else.
So…welcome to the Rams, Tyler.
ZooeyModeratorJared Goff is very very overrated by national media
don’t you folks find this statement to be quite opposite?…. Goff is not a media darling
I laughed.
I’d say that the mean temperature of the national media is that Goff is a marionette, and that McVay is responsible for his QBR. Seriously, I saw several writers speculating that the Rams would just let him go, and put some other body behind center…like that was a good plan.
And Goff isn’t just “overrated.” He is “very very overrated.”
That’s just hilarious to me.
You know…I don’t travel far on Rams sites, but none of the sites I do visit batted an eye at Goff’s extension. There must have been detractors somewhere, but I didn’t see any of them.
Goff has improved every year, and his mindset is proto for the position.
Extending Goff was as big a no-brainer as extending Donald. And at the end of this season, I expect the national media will be right there, telling us that they knew it right from his days at Berkeley.
ZooeyModeratorVincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
The record-breaking contract extension #Rams gave Jared Goff confirms what they know they have in him – even while others stubbornly cling to lazy narratives: Goff is a franchise quarterback.Yeah.
“Goff was a bust under Fisher. McVay revived him. Goff is a System QB.”
Uh…no.
Goff was NEVER going to contribute his rookie year, even if McVay was the HC then.
He was always good.
And for those of you (almost everybody) who don’t see that…
I don’t care.
ZooeyModeratorQuality map. Clearly no gerrymandering there. Looks very fair. (i.e. I live in the green area).
