The irony on this thread has hit a pretty high level so far.

With all this circular motion going on I fear this forum will become a black hole and disappear into the ether.

Not as much as those of us who chose to watch him play.

Aaron Donald doesn't lose. Shady is the poster-boy for tons of flash to achieve nothing. So I am liking our odds a lot more now!

Saw this and thought it was pretty cool

To be fair a lot of us have a drink every Rams game. It's once a week and part of the culture. I wouldn't say (or admit) that's an issue

People love to judge man.

Just so happens I am an alcoholic, but I am ok with beer as long as I don't drink them too fast. Had a good laugh watching Landman, the main character trying to explain that to the bartender. Tells me the dude who wrote that series knows what's up.

Liquor makes me jones. Most uncomfortable feeling for me, deep from the gut, like a dull ache. Wine is iffy, but I can usually get away with it if I take it real easy. But one shot of liquor and it requires massive control. Just not worth it and it's a shame because I love scotch.

As I recall, McClendon got absolutely abused in this game. Havenstein at RT is a huge upgrade.

And Higbee looked awesome vs. MIN.

Yeah, Brandon Graham absolutely destroyed McClendon the majority of the game. Graham is out for the year (possibly career ender) and barring catastrophe we won't see McClendon either. That and Avila was still getting his legs back under him imo... he really struggled for a few games after he came back from injury. That was also around when they gave up on Parkinson as the main TE and started experimenting with a rotation which did not have great success. Higbee brings consistency there and is an actual weapon running routes too. Assuming the weather doesn't neuter them the offense should be much better than they were the last meeting.

it’s weird, I never met Dave, only chatted with him on threads here on ROD. When I learned he passed it was strange that hit me hard.

I was a lot more harsh years back and he always commented with his never ending optimistic outlook on things. He was a respectful poster and fun poster at the same time. I came across pictures of him and his granddaughter about a month ago after all these years that made me smile real big. I hope she’s doing okay, I wouldn’t mind sending her a Rams/care package.

Some of the people you come across that make an impact in your life for the better just being who they are.

I like Eisen’s stat at the end. -

“McVay is now 8-4 in the playoffs. Only Don Shula and John Madden, with 10 & 9, have had more playoff wins as a head coach prior to turning 45 years old in NFL history. Sean McVay turns 45 in January of 2031.”

Greatest Ram coach of all time.

Love Morris but Old Not Dead might have been right. Donald and them boys would've went crazy with all of these different stunts.

BB3 got banged up with a shoulder, so Neville got more snaps.

Would be great to have both big fellas available vs Eagles

McVay said he "expects" BB3 to be able to play

BB3 needs to be good to go. Would love to see a 5-man D-Line, with Speights paying tight as a 6th in the box.

He was a great personality and a part of our lives if you ever loved baseball. Rest in peace, Mr Uecker.

It did me when I first saw it

McVay quoting the late, great Bum Phillips, and no doubt others who said it before him, I see.

My favourite Bum quote was this:

(when asked by Bob Costas why he took his wife on all of the Oilers' road trips) "Because she's too ugly to kiss goodbye."

Probably not a problem Sean faces with Veronika.

With an "ugly" quote like that, we can safely assume that Bum was not getting laid anymore.

Does your generosity stretch to tickets, return flights (first class) to and from London and a 5 star hotel for a few night by any chance?

Climbing over Joseph’s crumpled body while doing so.

Give him the "Deebo treatment."

We might well need him vs. the Eagles. Expect some heavier packages vs. the run at times.

.

Just like the Linnahan 06 and 07 drafts set up the Rams to have the worst decade of nfl football as not one player deserved to be in the nfl, these last two drafts by Snead and McVay have set up the Rams to be a dominant team for a decade if Mcvay stays put.

One thing I never considered doing was playing Semi Pro ball heard too many horror stories from relatives that played.

How was your Canadian experience? I have heard if you’re a star it’s fine, not so much for the fringe players.

I loved it, had a blast and made a lot of great friends! Was perfect for the person I was in my early-mid 20s

Yeah, Hussey and his crew are always a joke. The punt roughing the kicker, Limmer's unnecessary roughness while blocking someone during a play, Whittington's hold, the no call DPI on Long.... was absolutely ridiculous how many game changing type penalties we got but the team shook them off and bulled past them. That's championship football.
