ZooeyModeratorNiiiiiiice.
Happy Birthday, urinary guy.
ZooeyModeratorYou missed X’s birthday, too, btw.
#$$##@@%%%^%.
I need to get better at my birthday part of the job.
..
Maybe we could annually celebrate your awareness of that?
ZooeyModeratorYou missed X’s birthday, too, btw. It was Oct 3, I believe. Weirdly, I noticed JackPMiller’s name in the Forums section about a week ago, and I thought, “Hey, where is that guy?” and I clicked on that thread which was a birthday thread, and I saw X on Oct. 3. And I thought, “Hey, that’s this week.”
So.
More cake.
ZooeyModeratorAaron Donald gets the first sack.
But that’s just the FIRST series.
You’ve been eliminated from the game, and you’re lucky I don’t ban you from the board.
You have to play the game according to MY rules, or it’s going to get ugly for you.
ZooeyModeratorIs it the same net guy? Because…well…you know. Cuz you posted them. I mean, the irony holds either way, but more interesting if it’s the same guy.
Those are paraphrases, right? Not actual quotes? (I’m not doubting your ability to paraphrase. I think I maybe have just read too many essays).
October 9, 2015 at 12:50 pm in reply to: Wagoner: Rams defense willing to trade completions if it means fewer big plays #32023ZooeyModeratorAccurate, schmaccurate.
How accurate is he going to be with his facemask clogged with tundra?
ZooeyModeratorHappy Birthday, pal.
ZooeyModeratorHe has 48 TD passes and Zero interceptions in his last 19 games at Lambeau. That’s an average of 2.5 TD passes a game, and an average of…zero interceptions per game.
Nothing lasts forever, so the man is due.
I’m telling you. The Packers are due to lose a game at home, and the Rams are due to win two games in a row that they shouldn’t win. Rams 22-20.
ZooeyModeratorI was wondering what became of you.
Welcome back.
ZooeyModeratorI will be very curious to see how much
intensity the Rams can generate,
after the intense win at Arizona.I’m thinkin this will look a lot
like the Washington game.w
vThat’s okay. I will still remember the good old days when you were a legit Rams fan.
ZooeyModeratorAh yes, the salad days on the old rivals site.
Good times.
=====
Rams 27, Packers 24. Gurley has an even bigger day than he did in Arizona.What?
WHAT?
Are you predicting that the Packers get a…kind of…lesson in HUMILITY…AT HOME?
Is THAT what you’re saying?
ZooeyModeratorI think Green Bay is going to look back on this game as their most humbling of the season.
Because they so thoroughly destroy the Rams that they begin to question a lifestyle driven by violence so they join a Tibetan monastery where they take a vow of humility?
Boy, do I know how to bait the trap for Raiders fans, or what.
It’s amazing that trolls keep coming to this board in spite of round after round of humiliation at my hands.
ZooeyModeratorI think Green Bay is going to look back on this game as their most humbling of the season.
ZooeyModeratorbut yeah. i’m liking this thunder and lightning combo of gurley and austin. adds an element of unpredictability to this offense. cignetti just needs to find a way to free others up once defenses start to key in on them.
Yes, that’s what I’ve been thinking amidst all this Austin/Gurley pride. Make somebody else start to “happen,” too. Quick, Bailey, Kendricks….
Then we have an offense.
ZooeyModeratorSo the two teams the Rams lost to are rated below them, and the two teams they beat are rated above them.
And that, in a nutshell, is our beloved Rams.
———————
Well, i think they’ve turned the corner — which means,
they will finally start losing to good teams
and beating the bad teams.w
vWhat is suddenly interesting is that, given the upcoming schedule, doing that would place them in playoff contention.
ZooeyModerator===============================
PFT’s Week Five power rankings
Mike Florio
1. Patriots (3-0; last week No. 1): The bye week, the one weekend of the year when the Patriots definitely won’t win.
2. Packers (4-0; No. 2): When they envisioned finally beating the 49ers, they likely assumed the 49ers would be a little bit better than they currently are.
3. Broncos (4-0; No. 3): Peyton Manning should be very glad he’ll never have to face the Denver defense.
4. Bengals (4-0; No. 5): They’re separating from the rest of the division; the next goal is to separate from the rest of the conference.
5. Falcons (4-0; No. 6): Matt Ryan, Devonta Freeman, and Julio Jones are the new triplets.
6. Cardinals (3-1; No. 4): We’ll know a lot more about this team after back-to-back games at Detroit and Pittsburgh.
7. Panthers (4-0; No. 10): The schedule gets a lot tougher, soon.
8. Seahawks (2-2; No. 9): Jimmy Graham doesn’t block in the running game. And the offensive line doesn’t block in the passing game.
9. Jets (3-1; No. 14): The Jets hadn’t killed a coach this convincingly since Rich Kotite.
10. Rams (2-2; No. 17): Sunday’s win over the Cardinals inevitably will be bookended by a loss to someone like the Browns.
So the two teams the Rams lost to are rated below them, and the two teams they beat are rated above them.
And that, in a nutshell, is our beloved Rams.
October 6, 2015 at 3:30 pm in reply to: week 5 stats, including "Rams have played 3 top 5 defenses" #31847ZooeyModeratorGeez. Well, the way this season is shaping up, that schedule looks a lot more friendly than I thought it was a few weeks ago. It is not unreasonable to hope for a 10-6 season, certainly. Heck, they do that just by beating the teams ranked below them in this power ranking.
Of course, that is just THIS week’s power ranking.
And it’s only from one site.
CBS’s power rankings put the Rams at 17th.
But still…I can see 8 out of 12 there without rose-tinted goggles.
ZooeyModeratorWho knows, I just thought the film showed a very talented Rams roster and Arizona is actually really fucking loaded on both sides of the ball. Both teams were flying around -Rams pretty lucky to get that one -hopefully a team learning how to close
They beat Arizona in Arizona, and that counts. That’s a talented team with good coaches.
This sounds cliche, but that was 60 minutes of football. The Rams made some mistakes, but they didn’t ever cave in. I thought Arizona played better than the Rams did overall, btw. But the Rams didn’t break, and it looked like they made meaningful halftime adjustments for the first time in a decade, and it felt like the first time we have seen the offense operate in sync.
So. On to Green Bay.
ZooeyModeratorMayhap. I haven’t looked – have they played anyone? Who is catching passes in Charlotte?
I don’t know. But remember the 99 Rams were criticized for “not having played anyone.” They’re winning, and I gather comfortably, though I only follow one team, so I do not know.
I think the Rams may end up the season in the Top 4, but based on what they’ve actually done – including the losses – I can’t put them there yet personally.
But I am glad you did, and I think you should stick to your guns there.
ZooeyModeratorI think Carolina and Atlanta would contest that.
ZooeyModeratorWatched the game on internet TV, so no chance to rewatch. Just wondering what changed when Gurley started to let loose. In the first half he was getting hit 3 yards back from the LOS, and then, after Fitzgerald’s fumble, it seemed like everything opened up. Don’t think the Cards D was gassed, the Rams certainly didn’t wear them out in the first half. So what changed? If this is a glimpse of the future, just wow.
It’s a mystery. I hope same film watchers can tell us.
Whatever it was…once Gurley popped that 23 yard run, he was just dominant after that. Against a good defense.
A lot I agree with in this thread. Arizona was arguably the hottest team the first 3 weeks of the season, and they had homefield on this, and the Rams took them. It’s a big win, and puts the Rams at 2-0 against the division. If the Rams can establish a running game, the passing game will improve. And the defense has played consistently well with the exception of the Washington game. It’s certainly “breaking” less than it has the past couple of years.
They threw serious roadblocks at Pittsburgh and Arizona who were both lighting up scoreboards. This is a good win.
On to Green Bay.
ZooeyModeratorThis win was less dominant that the win over Seattle, imo.
But the Rams won because of turnovers and BBDB defense. Arizona seemed to control the game most of the time. They had more TOP, ran 20 more plays than the Rams (71-51), gained more yards (447-328), got more first downs (26-13), and were penalized less.
The Rams recovered two fumbles, and intercepted a pass, and stiffened in the red zone.
In the end, they ran effectively.
All of which this team is designed to do.
So…yay.
ZooeyModeratorThe Cardinals will look back on this game as one for which they wish that they had never suited up.
Because they so thoroughly destroy the Rams that they recoil in horror much like the captain and crew of the Enola Gay?
Where are you NOW, Raiders Guy?
ZooeyModeratorI thought more than a million died in the Civil War. I was way off.
I didn’t realize american wars were that lackluster.
Is it coaching? Or talent? Or leadership?
I don’t think it’s lack of talent. The US has all the weapons in place. I say it just needs time to gel. Before you know it, it will become a world class killing machine.
ZooeyModeratorThat’s quality.
ZooeyModeratorThe ole tweeters in Philly are starting to hint that it is time to see if Sanchez should warm up.
Bradford 2/5 for 12 yards and 2 sacks so far against Washington. Philly 25 yards of total offense in the 1st quarter, including a 30 yard run.
ZooeyModerator44.7 Nick Foles QBR in 2015
44.3 Austin Davis QBR in 2014
41.4 Shaun Hill QBR in 2014I am disappointed in Foles so far. And jrry32 has not cheered me up.
ZooeyModeratorIf you finish, that will be more than the Rams did.
ZooeyModeratorNor I.
I though more than a million died in the Civil War. I was way off.
ZooeyModeratorYou are probably right,
but then, I didnt expect Bernie (or trump) to do
nearly as well as they’ve been doing — so, I dunno.w
vYeah, but I think Trump has peaked. I don’t think his numbers can go up. The guy is running entirely on pathos. There is no logos there, and no ethos that has yet to be discovered. If anything, his ethos is going to go down. Unless he starts talking sensibly.
I mean…a wall. Seriously. How much is that going to cost? And don’t they have ladders in Mexico? I think they do. So how high are you going to build it? And how are going to stop people from scaling it? And how deep are you going to build it because there have already been multiple tunnels dug under the border, so you’re going to have to burrow down, too.
And then there’s going around it in a boat. Unless you are building the wall around the entire gulf of Mexico coast and up the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
I’m just thinking…not so practical.
The angry and crazy people have already found him. There aren’t going to be more converts from this point forward. He’s just running on, “Shoot! We’ll fix that.”
