Thanks for the recap. Saves me having to watch it on Game Pass later.

more games is fine.. but they need to let them start hitting again in practice.

college still hits in practice, and they get less injuries.

Good Morning Sunshine!

Let me fill you in on what you missed ...

Give Goff time and he is going to destroy you. And don’t say other QBs can do that because Goff is setting records.

But as said many times, pressure him up the middle and he sucks.

They say the same about almost every QB that was also the way to beat Brady.

Chile

Well, you can’t make good chili without chile, imo.

So young so plenty of time...

But you have to eventually be a sack guy not just a pressure guy.

otherwise you are a Chris Long rather then a Jared Allen.

Size matters -Verse fits well

I read the thread title as “Jordan Whittington is a breast”.

I’ve obviously been spending too much time in the Boobies thread.

Where else would you be during the Rams bye.

Gonna cost McCarthy a couple hours of gulag level "oral ego stroking."

That’s where my head is at

1. Fight for the division
2. Get players back and get healthy
3. Finish hot
4. Win the weak division
5. Take our chances in the playoffs

As long as we're still within realistic reach, sure. I have no idea if they will right the ship and make a run at it. At this point the defense mechanism can say its not likely. So if it doesn't happen you expected it. Or we can say we're right there and we have a team good enough to get it done.

I'm kinda on the fence on both. I think the offense is capable of getting better and scoring more points. I'm just not as comfortable with the defense. But when you look at it, are they really that bad? Besides the anomaly in Arizona the other 4 games were 20 points in regulation, 24 points three times. Not all that great but not a blowout either.

Maybe its just a matter of cleaning some things up and dropping the average scores down to 19 or 20. While our offense increases their output another 5 or 6 points per game. We just have no room for error now.

And this week Penn State gets an OT win against USC

But the best part - Ohio State, and their 20 million dollar roster, lost to a flock of Ducks.

terrible planning by the Rams. Tre White ? The minute they signed him I knew it was a disaster. The Bills couldn’t wait to get rid of him. Parkinson, Curl and Jonah Jackson look like D, D and F signings now too. Is it the coaching or the talent mis- evaluation or both. Only one that can save the horrible Free Agent signings is Darious Williams but Im not holding my breath of nothing more than average play as the main CB.

.... is tired of seeing Rosenbum out there every play.

There are a LOT of snaps going to this draft class. 7 players seeing significant action!

OLB Jared Verse (Round 1, No. 19 overall)
DE Braden Fiske (Round 2, No. 39 overall)
RB Blake Corum (Round 3, No. 83 overall)
S Kam Kinchens (Round 3, No. 99 overall)
K Joshua Karty (Round 6, No. 209 overall)
WR Jordan Whittington (Round 6, No. 213 overall)
OL Beaux Limmer (Round 6, No. 217 overall)

I don't really care what Falcons' fans think about anything and Shanny is fun to watch fail. That is all.

But he's going to need to realize very quickly that if you don't have a QB in this league you're waiting to be fired.

Amen.

Hey!
The man has just been through a very traumatic event and might even have PTSD.

We have to support our Rams Brothers.

Allen2McVay said:

Actually, it was last night (page 13 of this thread) when you posted the following:
'I love McVay, but I think that Andy Reid has him beat overall.'

As I have now stated three times, I believe that was this thread's first mention of Reid in comparison to McVay.

Unless I missed something, YOU started the discussion of the topic comparing the two head coaches.

Click to expand...

So we’re is Bill Belacheat in any takes as the best ever ? Was that all the Brady effect ? Tomlinson has an excellent win lose record.Wish he beat Dallas Monday.

Thought Mcvay was going to be better.I drink the KOOL-AIDE & think The Rams might win The Super Bowl while watching the Detroit Game.They sure had the momentum.I’m not going to blame Mcvay for all the Rams did last season.There was a lot of luck as well.
—This season I blame Mcvay & that has NEVER been mo. I’ve believed & believe in him.Luck ran out and reality has set in. What happens happens.I’ll enjoy the season & development of certain Rams.

snackdaddy said:

Not a bad idea. One thing I noticed was the top seed doesn't always play the lowest remaining seed the way they have it set up. The Padres had the best record of the wild card teams. The Dodgers were top seed. The lowest remaining seed for the NLDS was the Mets.

I guess the way they had it set up was the winner of the Padres/Braves plays the Dodgers. While the winner of the Mets/Brewers plays the Phillies. Other sports leagues usually have the top seed playing the lowest seed.

I guess I'm bitching because the Padres were the one team I didn't want the Dodgers to face. They seemed to have their number this year. They easily won the season series even after the Dodgers took 2 of 3 in their last series.

Click to expand...

Yeah, they don't re-seed after each round. They should IMO. Might have something to do with logistics (hotels, etc.).

AFter the Wild Card round it would have been:
Detroit vs NY
Kansas City vs Cleveland
Mets vs Dodgers
Padres vs Philly

I can't say I'm upset with it.

He did. As someone who thought that Lake would have a breakout season, I'm disappointed so far.

I’ll admit I was one of those guys.
I also bought into Mcvay (others) saying how much T” White was such a leader & that cover guy.WOW - just WOW !! Disappointing would be the other word.

Geez, after the horrific devastation Helene left behind now there's another tropical storm in the Gulf that is expected to hit Florida. And its also likely to be upgraded to a category 2 hurricane. Possibly even category 3. Those areas just can't catch a break. Meanwhile, here in central cali we're experienced record temps. 106 yesterday. In October. WTF?
