Green Bay is gonna beat’em though. Wont even be that close.
Its that extra week of rest. Packers will look a step quicker, I bet.

SF is on a short (6-day) week, and lose a day to travel. GB is waiting at home where they’ve been for 2 weeks.

And it will be SF’s 14th consecutive game since their bye week. Garappolo has never thrown a pass when it’s been colder than 40 degrees.

I still think the 9ers can win, though.

How’d ya like to be Kurt Warner right now, the only ex Ram QB who picked AZ to win.

Did they ask Pat Haden? Or Joe Namath? Or Dieter Brock? What about TJ Rubley?

What the hell is Everett talking about. This just looks like a careless shot at Warner for no reason. I mean…I’m pretty sure Warner didn’t toss and turn all night in anxiety over this.

The whistle WAS blown early.

It was not blown early enough to affect the outcome of the play. Nobody could have reacted to that whistle.

I don’t know why they don’t just say that instead of denying what is very clear from the tape.

Not mine.

I will be on the road, unfortunately. It is the only non-Rams game this weekend I’d like to sit down and watch.

I’m just throwing this out here. I don’t want the Packers next weekend. Not when they have home field, have had two weeks to prepare, and the Rams have 6 days to get ready, with one of those days shot with travel. I don’t like that at all. The NFC Championship…okay. But not next week.

Which is all to say that I won’t know whom I am rooting for in SF/Dallas until the Bucs/Eagles game is decided. I hope the Rams go to the Bucs, but I’d be happy to go to Dallas, too. In fact, I like the Rams’ chances of beating Dallas more than I like their chances of beating Tampa. Especially if there is bad weather in Tampa. But absolutely do not want GB next weekend.

Rams at 4:10.

Rochell and SJD don’t appear on that list, so does that mean they will be back for sure?

And I wonder what Aeneas Williams is doing this week. Toby Wright has surely had enough time to rehab.

Toby Wright, man. That guy got robbed, and we got robbed.

No one here yet I don’t think.

I don’t think so, either. I would be interested in someone’s thoughts on it, though.

It would take a pretty strong recommendation from someone for me to watch it. I don’t find sports movies enjoyable, generally. I liked “Brian’s Song,” but I was eleven when I saw it, so….

Generally speaking, though, sports movies are bad, except when they’re very bad.

And for the Warner story, you know, we were all There when it happened, and I’m pretty sure the Live event was far more gratifying than this movie is, especially since…it’s probably sappy.

But I would like a review from a Rams fan. Not interested in reading professional reviews.

Mr. or Ms. Source should STFU until the season is over.

I agree that there will be a lot of talk, and rightfully.

Personally? I can be patient. They have the stars on offense and defense, they just need to be a more consistently effective team. If they don’t do it this year, I have reasonable expectations they can do it in one of the following years.

That’s what I think, too.

Losing to the Cardinals would be pretty bitter, though. I don’t think I would shake that off very quickly, and given the expectations for the season, I will consider that a very bad end to the season. “Disaster” would be overstating it. Disaster would have been missing the playoffs altogether without a clear injury excuse.

Here’s a question:

At what point is the season a disaster?

The Rams went all in on a Super Bowl this year. Big trade for the missing piece at QB. In season acquisitions of Von Miller and OBJ.

What if they lose to AZ? Or the following week?

I mean…Goff got them to the 2nd round of the playoffs last year with a broken thumb on his passing hand.

If the Rams don’t get to at least the Championship, people are going to spend a lot of time talking about that.

I remember Weddell playing somewhere between Mediocre and Poorly.

And that was two years ago.

I think he will be on the sideline in a case with a glass door to be broken in an emergency.

I guess they couldn’t sign John Johnson instead, for some reason.

Sometimes I don’t like the way the “legal” stuff works in the NFL.
