    I don’t have time to read this, but it looks interesting, so I’m putting it here. Mackeyser retweeted this.

    Sloppy, but decisive, and 5-1 is a good thing.

    I didn’t watch the second half after the opening drive.

    I think it’s all the fault of the numbers. They should never have allowed such chaos. Keep them the way they’ve been since the time of Sargon of Akkad. Back then, your defensive linemen were in the 70s and 80s, linebackers in the 50s and 60s, DBs in the 20s, 30s and 40s, with rare exceptions. Deviation typically resulted in being thrown to the crocodiles, unless Mrs. Sargon saved you.

    Let just anyone wear #1 and you’re going to get double punts and worse.

    Good point. Football needs to return to its former discipline.

    The more crocodiles you have, the fewer chaotic plays.

    Okay, so nothing about whether Stafford “likes” play action or not. That is apparently not the issue, or not the main issue, in any event. What this looks like is that McVay called more play action with Goff because he believed he HAD to. And with Stafford, he uses it differently because he can.

    Still wondering why there was no illegal man downfield on the double punt. Anything? —

    I don’t know what the rule says, exactly.

    Can the linemen release after the punt? Or after the ball travels past the line of scrimmage?

    If it’s the former, they were good to go after the first punt.

    There’s no way there aren’t more skeletons in 650K emails. Somebody let out the ones that damaged Gruden, and I’d like to know why.

    It wasn’t the league, so somebody else has ’em, and they released only some of them. So… what’s going on here?

    Okay, but that doesn’t tell us anything about Sean.

    I have two idiot brothers and a father who were livid about Colin Kapernick and BLM, and I doubt that they would voice objections to anybody who said something like Gruden did.

    They doesn’t mean I share those views, too, just because we’re related.

    Well, there’s 650,000 emails, I heard. So Gruden isn’t the only human who’s going to come off badly.

    My question is “Why Gruden?”

    Next question is…what did they say about Spygate?

    Maybe. They know each other, and share a love of football, and like each other, I guess. I’ve never seen any evidence that they play together outside the office. I have “friends” at work whom I never see socially.

    But…maybe they are, and maybe McVay shares similar views. In my experience, there are a lot of a-holes in the human species.

    This situation certainly brings to mind last year’s game against the Jets.

    I would hope that the Rams have also noticed the similarity in the situation.

    Yeah, the Seahawks look done. I dunno how they beat SF.

    On the Rams, I think Cowherd is right about Stafford. Top of the Tier Two guys. That’s what it looks like to me so far. As for the boring offense…that’s the price of Stafford. That was the red flag (to me) about him in the trade. He doesn’t like play action, and he doesn’t like pre-snap motion. McVay has accommodated that.

    Yeah, so…thing is…

    100% of people living in this country are familiar with the history of big-lipped caricatures of African Americans used to mock them in 20th century illustrations. There is no way, absolutely no way that Gruden is unaware of what he did. Even if he isn’t a Proud Boy sympathizer, he went where no white guy can go. It was a racist shot. I’m not buying the “rubber lips” line of defense, even if he DOES use that term (which nobody else has ever used, afaik). Nope.

    And I don’t think there is any “atoning.” There’s nothing anybody can do about it. Gruden exposed himself. That happens to famous people. He’s gotta have to live with it, and have it affect his relationships with people however it affects them.

    Okay, just watched it.

    Was there a second reference? I missed it, but I was pretty sleepy. The one at the beginning…if that was controversial, I don’t know what to say.

    Oh, space jews.

    That was right at the beginning, and I kinda missed it. Went by really fast.

    To state the obvious, the Rams need to clean up the next 4 weeks, and be sitting at 8-1 when they head into San Francisco. The back half of the schedule is unpretty. They have road games at SF, AZ, Green Bay, and Baltimore, as well as home against SF. That looks like 5 games against playoff-bound teams, all of whom whacked the Rams pretty convincingly in recent history. So they better stack up these wins right now.

    Statistically, the Rams were better on D last season through Week 5, clearly.

    Their 4 wins, however, were all against the NFC East, the worst division in football, and they lost to the only team that had a winning record.

    This season, their 4 victories are all against playoff teams from last season. Just on the basis of difficulty of schedule, you would expect the D to give up more in this stretch than they did last year.

    And now a soft stretch for the Rams. Maybe we can invite Nittany back in 4 weeks to post again, once he’s finished serving his suspension.

    As Sean McVay explained postgame,”because he kicked it behind the line of scrimmage (and) they reviewed it in New York, they said his foot was still on the line of scrimmage — so they said he can do that. I guess you learn something every night.”

    I watched it again. Looks like his planted foot was on the line of scrimmage.

    A blocked punt turned into a 68-yard punt.

    I think it’s fair to say that I will not live to see the likes of that play ever repeated.

    The Rams played well enough to win, in Seattle, so…yay.

    I don’t understand Stafford’s inaccuracy, unless he is hurt. Not sure when the finger thing happened.

    I reaaaalllly don’t understand putting rookie Rochelle on Metcalf when Ramsey is available. I know there is Lockett, too, but there is Williams, too. I just don’t understand that.

    I didn’t catch all the blather from Buck and Aikman, but it didn’t seem like they had an explanation for the double punt play. I’ve never seen anything like it, and even if it’s legal to kick it twice, he appeared to me to be past the LOS on the second kick. And I think there was a flag, but it was not explained, and the play stood. I missed that ruling.

    Geno Davis looked good. Why isn’t he starting somewhere?

    Those Seattle uniforms are far and away the most hideous uniforms in all of sports. I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that they got off the drawing board.

    I like Chappelle. I thought he was finished with Netflix. He said so at the end of his last special, I believe. Guess he got a new contract.

    I’m not gonna watch the clip, although I’m curious. I saw some noise about it on Twitter today, but I don’t want to spoil it. Just want to watch the entire thing sometime.
