    Oh, puleeze.

    Rams break 40.

    9ers break single digits.

    The Rams started 6-0 each season from 1999-2001. Not ONCE did they win their 7th game in that 3-year span.

    Can the 2018 Rams do it on Sunday?

    Of course, Jeff Fisher coached the team that stopped the Rams in Week 7 in 99. Does Jeff Fisher coach the 9ers?

    Because we know only Fisher can stop this Rams team.

    we could be right in the middle of something really special brewing for gurley. not just this season but for the next few years.

    just wondering to myself how everything unfolds.

    just one example is yards from scrimmage. he might be only the 13th player to get 2000 yards from scrimmage. i’m not quite sure of that. just something i read on the internet. i do know that there are 65 total seasons where that mark was achieved. he’ll join an even rarer group if he manages to get another one this season. and even rarer still because it will be back to back. and to produce that consistently over 32 games (31 in todd’s case) is nothing to scoff at.

    just pretty amazing i’d say.

    This guy is a good player. Man, the Rams have had their share of great RBs over the years. He is a delight to watch. He is like Marshall in a lot of ways. Good at running, receiving, and blocking. Leader. And…importantly…does not seem to take bad shots. Marshall always could kind of elude the tackler and avoid the blasting hits. Gurley is similar.

    They are different stylistically. I mean…if you could somehow run a series of highlights of the two guys while turning everything into silhouette so there are no uniform/stadium context clues…you could tell them apart. But…Value…Production…these guys are a lot alike. I think Faulk still has the advantage in wisdom, but remember Faulk came to the Rams entering his sixth season. Gurley has just entered his fourth.

    Boy…this is a good team, and fun to watch, and we are in a good moment in time.

    He was apparently close to good-to-go on Sunday. And it’s not like Santos was a Shit Show.

    So I think the leg is fine.

    You worry too much.

    Can’t say I love either of those.

    Actually…I’m guessing they are looking at filling the last spot on the bench for a few weeks until Kupp is back, so they have a guy ready to move into the rotation int he event there is another injury.

    I don’t know what to make of that.

    I forgot the game was on, and my son told me the 9ers were winning by 10 in the 4th Q. I watched the last few minutes.

    So…are the 9ers better than I thought? Are the Packers worse than I thought?

    One thing is sure…Aaron Rodgers has a future as a starter in this league.

    He can afford to take the week off.

    I think the 9ers without their QB and RB, and on a short week, shouldn’t pose too much of a problem – and if they do – it wouldn’t be because of the absence of Kupp.

    Yeah, I am a little disappointed the Rams didn’t put them away. They moved the ball at will the first couple of drives, but couldn’t get it in the end zone, and settled for field goals. And they had a chance at the end of put the game completely out of reach, and didn’t finish.

    Still there was never any concern that the Rams would lose, either. The Rams had the upper hand the entire game, and never really let Denver get in it. It felt like the Rams won by more than 3 points.

    But it was 25 degrees in Denver, the Broncos had their back against the wall, and really needed a win. But the Rams got the W. In spite of the Chiefs’ loss, they can’t feel good about where their season is headed now.

    Fingers crossed for the injury report.

    But …damn…I said at the time that I would be happy if Kupp was back for the playoffs, and the day ended more promising than that. I haven’t seen any update since the game, but I was stunned that he came back on the field. That has to be a good sign.

    Goff analysis: one guy’s view

    That was a good read. And I buy it.

    I think Goff is on a trajectory to be the greatest Rams QB ever. This guy is good. This guy is special. Even if he doesn’t know where the sun sets. This is a Montana kind of guy. He may be good at nothing else his entire life, but he is good at football.

    I wouldn’t take anyone over Goff right now. Love the way he throws…. no wobble…. gets to the perfect spot and the footbal is so easy to catch. That kind of pinpoint Accuracy is hard to find.

    Yeah, he’s been better than I expected. I was hoping to see improvement this year, you know. Growth. Some people warned of a slip backwards.

    He has been pretty close to flawless.

    He doesn’t have the strongest arm in the league, but he can heave it 60 yards accurately. I mean…that’s good enough, right?

    It is supposed to snow 1 inch on Sunday in Denver.

    Perfect conditions for the Rams who always have to play in 80-degree weather.

    Also, my next door neighbor has a regulation flagpole in his front yard…I mean…one of these 60′ jobs…and he flies his Broncos flag on it during football season. He has a billiard table with the Donkey logo on it, and two TVs in the room, mounted in the corners.

    So…yeah.

    Rams by 20.

    Two things (if I may).

    1. Marcus Peters was beat by a lot more than a strained leg on those TD passes. That was not the injury alone. He blew it. Dunno more than that, but I do know that much.

    2. Jared Goff is a very good QB.

    Of course there are going to be tough games. They WON, though. They could have lost that game, and it really would not have been a big shame, and it really wouldn’t have hurt them that much. And tough games are important, too. The Rams need the experience and confidence that comes with these kinds of games because the playoffs are going to be tough as always. They need some gut checks along the way. To stay hungry. I’m good with it.

    Seattle played tough. They were able to stick with their gameplan, and I think it’s the best strategy to beat the Rams. Run…run…run…play action. Had the Rams scored a TD on that early drive rather than suffer the pachinko interception, it might have forced Seattle out of the strategy earlier.

    Seattle played well. Run defense got gouged.

    Goff is good.

    Cooks and Kupp both got concussed. Were the hits dirty?

    Kupp was just a head-hitting-the-turf thing.

    Cooks hit was marginal, but Cooks lowered his head right before impact, so I’m not sure it was a penalty. Close…but not flagrant, imo.

    Good. That will slow down the Seahawks’ defense. Make it even easier for the Rams to score.

    Robert Quinn the top rusher. It’s too bad the Rams couldn’t hang onto him.

    Yeah. But I don’t care.

    I never liked tackling with intent to harm It’s a goddamn game. And I get that the players have zillions of dollars at stake, but I just want to see good football games, and when the stars are out because of injury, it compromises the quality of the games. And I love strong defense, too. Grew up on the Rams.

    But, seriously, I’m not a fan of tackling with intent to injure. That’s just stupid, imo.

    I never get enough of crowd shots. Nothing quite like seeing a couple of people who spent an hour putting on paint and strange costumes sitting with slumped shoulders, looking like they got caught for an hour in a downpour.

    I’ll just add this.

    According to Football Outsiders, the Rams have a much greater chance of getting a BYE week in the playoffs than any other team has of even making the playoffs.

    And CBS didn’t move them up the rankings, either. They still have the Rams only one notch above the 2nd ranked team which is ridiculous.
