Yeah, I don’t think it’s Super Bowl hangover, either. You can win with a few players going down here and there, even a couple for the season, but you cannot win with an incoherent OL. It can’t be done.

The defense, I gather, is still holding its own.

This is the last game I’m going to miss this season, I think, although I may miss a weekend or two in January. Anyway, it’s nice to pull up my chair and begin watching during garbage time….

Okay.

I just watched that for the second time.

And I am open to different interpretations. Maybe there is something I’m missing. But I don’t see a single thing in that monologue – or in his comments on trans people – that strikes me as unfair, or untrue, or even hurtful. Granted, I am a member of a privileged demographic, and I haven’t experienced the pain that plagues trans people, or Jews, or the Black people, or anything else.

But I don’t get anything from Dave Chapelle that makes me think he is willfully, or even inadvertently, harming any group of people.

And I think that Chapelle and Carlin are the best comedians that the USA has ever produced.

I picked a good season to miss, it seems.

The only games I’ve seen this year are the Buffalo game and the 1st 9ers game. I’ve missed every Sunday game all season long for…reasons.

I had some hope a week ago because it looked like the OL was returning to health, but this is now a lost year.

I also have to think OBJ is not going to sign into this train wreck, so we’ve probably permanently lost him as well.

At CBS, it’s unanimous: all 8 experts pick the 9ers.

To sum up how insane this season has been so far: There is only one game in Week 8 between teams with winning records:

Not Ravens-Bucs.
Not 49ers-Rams.
Not Packers-Bills.

🗣 It's Giants vs. Seahawks.

Go figure.

I would think a Robert Quinn reunion would be a good thing, too. I don’t know how he’s doing this year, but he was a presence last year. He’d cost less draft capital.

I never heard of Burns until I saw his name pop up in trade rumors last week, so that’s how much I know.

But he is described as a young, forceful edge rusher, and I think the Rams need that more than they need a good RB, especially one with questionable tread left on the tires. Von Miller put the defense over the top last year, and looks like Burns could do the same.

The Rams need to also bring back OBJ who put the Rams offense over the top last year.

With those two additions, the Rams will be competitive. The Rams got to Super Bowls with CJ Anderson and Sony Michel being their most productive backs, and while it’s nice to have premium talent in the backfield, the Rams can at least compete with Henderson, Brown, and Williams. And maybe they get another body for a 3rd-day pick.

I didn’t see the whole game, but from what I saw, I think Cooper Kupp is good at footballing.

Also…nice ARob siting.

Good riddance… OBJ will get his jersey # back

The guy is no good. And he is a fumbler.

I liked him before his injury, and thought he was a good pick, and I was excited about his early return last year.

But… he just isn’t getting the job done. As mediocre as Henderson is, he is more productive than Akers, and he doesn’t drop the ball all the time. I’m sorry Akers got hurt, and that a promising career never got a chance, but he isn’t helping the team.

Everything will be fine as long as we don’t bomb Cambodia.
