Yeah the whole Prime recording seems odd, since all that crap live in the cloud anyway - and not on your own device.... whatever, Jeff....

It really is simple isn't it. Just like Ol' Bowlcut's daddy used to say: "Just win baby."

Stafford is my favorite Rams QB ever and its not even all that close tbh.

The coaching of all the young guys to keep this team competitive has been deserving of all the praise going their way....
...but without #9 giving us MVP caliber QB play, this roster probably doesn't sniff .500 imo.

Dude is not only the most talented QB we've ever had but also the coolest. My QB.

I like coaches who can relate to players ... but acting like you are one of them in your verbiage does not bring respect or at least the respect you are looking for. When you when it's "all good". But if they keep making early exits in playoffs "that sh!t" is going to get old and the players will say "F*#k that sh!t".

Swearing is not the issue, of course, he can swear and it can be in the common vernacular. But too much? Won't last. A leader has to be elevated. Looked up to. A coach has to be authoritative and being on the player's level (to this degree) is a novelty, media loves it. But it's very risky.

He won't be taking "this sh!t" in five years.

You know, I actually appreciate McDaniel. He talks like I'd talk if I were a coach. Now, I wouldn't be a very good one, but maybe he leads the Dolphins somewhere? Who knows?

If Whiners have a bye week, due to the #1 seed, no way they rest the starters and go that long before playing them again. They will come at us and be relentless. If Purdy gets injured due to that mentality, the 49's are genuinely baffoons due to their arrogance. This is my prediction.

Click to expand...

If the 49ers win their next 2 games they will have home field so I don't really seeing them playing Purdy, Samuel, Ayuik and CMC in the final. The 49ers only have to look back to last year to know when one of their stars gets hurt the season could be over.

4 Daughters? Wow!!

When they are all 13 and over, he will probably be overcome with worry.

Maybe Stafford will indeed retire in the next few years but then return when all four girls hit their teens.

You dont say????

If anyone doesn't think Stafford can sling it with the best of them...something's wrong...JUST SAYIN'!!!

Based on a lot of his responses in those press conferences, doesn't seem like a good leader. That Thursday night performance seemed like the players begging for him to be fired

Waves of rushers. More fo the same. Look at some of the good teams, the backups sometimes can come in and do as well as starters,.

#1 get dominant edge...FA, or very high draft pick ... anyone to match with Young
#2 get another guy like Turner ... young, hungry in middle rounds.

Sounds like a reasonable plan.
I'm also open to them getting a cheap vet rotational edge type.. one of the guys you can still find in the summer. Just for one more body to throw.

FWIW - been a couple times to Sofi now and by far the best way to go is park in El Segundo at the Metro station. Take it to Hawthorne/Lennox station and they have dedicated buses that run to the stadium. Faster and cheaper getting in and out than driving or ride share.

Only bummer this week.. could be a ton of rain.

All I can say is... I am pleasantly surprised with how the season has gone thus far.

These draft kids? Very impressive!
Free agency acquisitions weren't really flashy... but they are filling holes nicely (have to give props to Snead and McVay).

I figured I'd be happy if they went .500
Playoffs? Man... I'd just love it!! (fingers crossed).

As I watch the games, my only beef is McVay. At times, he just gets stubborn. Like getting into the red zone - mainly by effective runnning - and deciding to pass on all three downs. Why?
He just gets pass happy sometimes. And, a lot of the time, no need for it. Williams is a delight to watch!

So... go Rams!! Beat the Aints and keep improving. I'm enjoying this season.

BTW... don't sleep on the need to replace Stafford in the not-so-distant-future.

The Emergence of Kyren has made our offense very dangerous. If we can straighten out our red zone play calling, we could do some damage....what's weird is that we may not even make the playoffs, especially after Seattle's win on Monday...We may have to win out...fun to think about anyway.

if it gets overturned though.. still only 6 secs left.

So maybe not enough time for anything to matter.

This clip is queued to start at the onside kick, where WAS is attempting possession one last time - where Cooper Kupp knocks the football out of bounds.

I think it is overlooked what a fine decision that was, as he is about to get pummeled by two defenders - coupled with the fact, that the ball must not be batted forward....

Cooper is a very smart player.

DantheMan said:

Maybe when Lake was out ... and then Shelly went down, who was probably on the depth chart at nickel before he got hurt.

There were reports around draft time that he was maybe suited for slot ...or wide..but I hadn't seen that either.

Have to imagine his grabbiness has kept him out of the lineup (and height).

Been saying it... Shitters defense is not as dominant as usual. They got a little shot in the arm at the trade deadline but overall that defense is flawed compared to previous units they've had.

Hopefully that flaw shows big at the worst time in the playoffs for them.

I'm in my Fantasy League Playoffs and I just have to advise all of you that play: Just don't sweat it.

Example: I went back and forth for days on who to start, Stafford or Jackson? Projected points were virtually the same, but factor such as my starting both Puka and Cooper made me stress about over committing to one game. Push them chips all in, Les?

Look at these results and tell me if it was worth it.

Stafford: Projected= 25.53, Actual=25.3
Jackson: Projected= 25.85, Actual=25.65

Don't waste your life, fellow Ram fans.

P.S. I wouldn't have to sweat tonight's game if Puka doesn't drop that last pass. I love you buddy (check my avatar), but you're KILLING ME.

I heard that as well.

They also said that Crosby and Havrasic had a competition in practice and that Hav clearly beat out Crosby.

Honestly, I think Tyler Johnson is a useful WR also. Its a solid problem to have.

Agreed. Solid team, lacking a few difference makers though. And what is up with Lawrence just dropping the Football for no apparent reason.
