So apparently Tutu can reliably catch the ball. It's a shame we haven't seen him most of the season. Also Jefferson with the Brandon Gibson specialty

Yeah this is something that some of us knew. He caught everything in his first preseason. His hands, speed, and athleticism are not in question. It was always does he know the playbook; does he run precise routes; can he block... and lastly what everyone knows... will he be used properly. But no, catching was never an issue with Tutu. If he was dropping shit out there like Van he would be deactivated more. Just interesting to see "wow he can catch." Yeah, I'm not surprised.

8 points off from 26-10, but @RamFanWA gets the win and the $5000. ROD Dollars once @CGI_Ram gets back from catching his supper.

She may have.

I remember looking at who had been the best predictors last year or the year before and she was up near the top IIRC.

I don't watch the NFL Network much. She doesn't bother me.

Oh I reminded her often during the playoffs last year and after the Super Bowl win via twitter. I remember being so excited about our new QB and the possibilities for the season and then she scrunched her face in a preseason prediction and said they wouldn't even be a Wild Card.

Stay home and have your son go with a friend.

Have a great time with your son.

Is Jack Snyder with any team right now?

Click to expand...

No he is not,he is going to play innthe XFL. For that reason a lone I might follow him just enough to see his skill set. The Rams are looking to solidify there Offensive line right now.
My view is they are getting the tires & trying to find a gem. Maybe the find a Jim instead of a Jack. Right now The Rams O’Line looks like Jack Crack.

What happens at CB to finish out the season ? Jalen RAMsey is a good mentor.

There was a time when I disagreed with the draft offensive linemen early and often crowd after the 2019 season. They had youngsters with little to no experience pressed into starting duties before they were ready. I felt they got valuable experience and would be better with it.

Fast forward to this year. We now know Evans experience has done him no good. By now its likely he'll never be an NFL caliber lineman. Edwards has been far from impressive. Noteboom is an injury waiting to happen. None of those youngster from that season have panned out. So here we are.

I would say they don't necessarily need to draft linemen early and often. But they really need to draft future linemen. If they have one more run left in them I wouldn't count on rookies to their saviors on the line. They should target starter quality vets in the free agent period. But if they don't want a repeat of this year, they better draft some offensive linemen for down the road.

Wow!

This defense needed better play from the corners and safeties which hopefully will come in the future but this d was designed to complement the offense we thought we had which was one that could put up points, possibly a lot. And then there’s the pass rush, I think Von was a done deal and there was no plan b.

Click to expand...

And the bolded part is a big part of the problem now. We haven't had that offense since about the 2nd or 3rd week of the season, if we even had it then. But it's still run as if we are putting up 30 points per game.

Granted, I wouldn't like it even if the offense was piling up the yards and points, but I could at least tolerate it. But when the offense is struggling, we need the D to step up and make something happen to change the momentum and the scheme makes that virtually impossible.

FarNorth said:

Not sure why you say that? It was after a long timeout. Game on the line. I didn't see an audible except a direction on pass protection to the rb. It certainly appeared to be the first option on the play as Goff looked there immediately. So not sure how call does not come from the bench. Also appeared to me that the play was intended to be to the WR's right, toward the sideline, but he didn't execute.

In any event it was similar to the long pass play called from the doorstep of their own end zone earlier which resulted in a safety. Another example of Detroit's aggressive but at times knuckleheaded play calling which has cost them wins.

The OC calls the play, but the QB is ultimately the guy responsible for deciding whether to go for it. The WR was open, and Goff decided to go for it. He could have chosen to throw a shorter, safer route. I get the decision there. Go for the win. What doesn't make sense is calling that play and then kicking the FG on the next play if it fails.

Lot of angry QB-ing in that 4Q. Both Cousins and Jones getting pissed at teammates for not snapping the ball and early motion.

THAT was a great set of Thanksgiving Day games.

Hoping Sunday offers good football, too.

First time I was in the gulf on a carrier the vrc boys flew in with pizza from Dubai. The smell went down below decks like one of those old cartoons and damn near started a mutiny.

Happy Thanksgiving iamme33,

I would also agree with you on Joseph Noteboom too. JN has been in the NFL for 5 years during this time he has been on the injured reserve FIVE times. As a beleiver & fan of JN's pass protection talent I am sorley disappointed now with him & how his early career has played out. His IR events are more than any other Ram currently under contract, a 3-year, $40 million contract with $16.5 million fully guaranteed.

JN has yet to play over a half seasons worth of snaps. JN has never finished more than 5 games as a starter. As a Ram top OL'er who has a long injury history in a very short period of time its certainly right to question his position with this team going forward.

When we are having discussions on the "Ram's future" JN's injury history has to be included in the topic for discussion. Ram Org paid JN $25.5 million in 2023. The real returns on that investment certainly have paid no dividends. An "Achilles complete tear" is serious for an LT. It would be just plain silly not to have high concerns over his capability to recover to continue his NFL career.

The UDFA former backup LT A.J. Jackson (also on the IR), outplaying him this season, less than a year after making JN the highest FA priority. When JN was starting his performance was nothing more than 37 yr old well-traveled Ty Nsekhe level. Caused McVay to have to answer the press questions on AJ Jackson being a much better starting LT prospect than JN.

My main goal for the rest of the season is to wish for bad fortune to befall the whiners and that Seattle beats them to knock the whiners out of the playoffs. Not that I like the sea pigeons but my hatred for the whiners exceeds that of the sea hags.

I'm hoping the 49ers receive another bitter defeat to end their season, something that just rips their heart out stomps all over it.

Because fuck those guys.

Well The Rams always look out for The Best for there play when it comes down to it.

HENDO wanted his release & have a chance to play. He was not in the cards for the future.

As a kid heights never bothered me. Once I crossed the age of 30 my ability to withstand heights eroded with my balance.
