Outstanding is a bit generous a term imo. PSU rushed for 292 yards against them. Thats not great defense.

Penn St. 297 (8.7)
Boise 221 (6.7)
Purdue 208 (5.2)
Ohio St. 181 (5.8)

But it was more than the rushing yards. 37 pts to PSU, 34 pts to Boise and 41 to OSU. That's an average of 37 PPG to those 3. That is not a great defense. Coupled with the rushing yards, it's pedestrian.

Wife and I been watching Landman and the Lioness.

Warning: don’t watch Landman if you are allergic to hot chicks.

This Taylor Sheridan producer dude is killing it, with shows like the above.

I kind of liked the INT in the end zone returned for a TD, which basically saved the Rams from almost sure doom against the sea pigeons.

But yeah, this dude is a stud.

Davenport is a fantastic name for a place.

Washington also played a role in the Rams moving from Cleveland to LA. They weren't going to let the Rams play in the Coliseum unless they integrated.

Our ST's this year were very average rank wise in the middle of the pack. Our punt return yards were dead last. Have no idea how everyone bases " ST's were awesome this year" thoughts.

That wasn't an argument. You wanted to know what we were talking up our special teams. So I told you.

Click to expand...

There is my exact quote, where did I ask what you were talking about?

I bumped this thread specifically to reflect on year two under Blackburn.

Obviously Tiberius.

It's not. And our special teams is one of the reasons why it's not.

Yeah but they sure haven't been pouring it on all season, as the average number show.

I remember the gas lines and inflation and the world unraveling during his term. But I respect the President he was and his humanitarian impact. RIP.

So terrible. They apparently were planning on bombing the church too.

Looking forward to this game. Hope security is tight.

My wife and daughter have CovId and we cancelled our plan to attend my brothers New Year’s Eve bash. So, I stopped and picked up their favorite, king crab and shrimp and made them dinner. Then watched the Penn State game.

I woke up on Jan 1st with my own case of CoVid. What a way to start the new year.

Rams need to do more of these with the greats. Get to work 75!!!

I actually think the team we match up best with is the Vikings. Darnold isn't that quick on his feet so the rush can get home. Stafford does well picking apart the Vikings defense and getting into the right play versus the heavy blitz. Teams with mobile Qb's like the eagles, commodes, and pack will give our D trouble. I like our chances versus the Bucs, vikes, and lions.

Damn, this is a good compilation of what Holt's career was about. Big play after big play after big play.

It's not an opinion. It is a fact. Goff's passing numbers are better across the board. And yes, Goff is having a better season than Stafford.

Either way, we won that trade. We got our Super Bowl and multiple playoff seasons. It's fine for a trade to benefit both sides.

Doesn't make me want us to kick the shit out of the Lions - if we do play them - any less, but Goff's having a better year across the board than Darnold and Stafford are. An MVP caliber season if Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Saquon Barkley weren't in the way.

Honestly, I have to give it to Kevin O'Connell.

I mean nothing against McVay, but the Vikings had to deal with a lot of shit, starting off with the death of the cornerback they drafted to try to help their secondary woes in Khyree Jackson, and then a whole shitload of injuries. They lost their elite starting left tackle against us for the entire season, and they're still poised to potentially win the division. He brought Sam Darnold, thought to be a ginormous bust, and his career back from the dead. He took a defense that was reeling from losses and made it elite.

I love McVay as much as anyone here, and I wouldn't take a single head coach over him, but KOC gets my vote for Coach of the Year for the year he had with what he had.

AD's opinion still stands. "Make sure they care"

I thought Stafford really got nailed on that failed read option play on the goal line against the whiners. It brought back memories of Wolford getting injured on the same stupid call against the Cardinals. You would have thought McVay would have learned.

Stupidest play call this year might have caused whatever has been going on with Stafford since.

Click to expand...

Yeah, injury is also a possibility for Stafford’s inaccuracy since that game.

Just saw Jeremy Reaves propose to his long-time girlfriend on the sidelines (they've apparently known each other since high school), and she said, "Yes". I thought it was a very cute moment that the cameras caught.

Tano said:

McVay's play calls were terrible too. Plus we can't seem to get any receiver open other than Puka.

Click to expand...

McVay tends to make a few head scratcher calls a game but generally he calls good games. The issue is moreso that Puka is our only pass game weapon who is playing well. Opposing defenses focus on Puka and the Rams run game.

One thing to keep in mind is if we rest starters and end up with the 4th seed and crazy things happen in the playoffs, we'd have to go to Tampa for the NFC championship. I know that's a pretty remote possibility but it is one.

That would be incredible. And far better than going to Philly.

Shane Waldron (taken over for Brown being made interim in Chicago)

Shane Waldron did not take over for Thomas Brown. Waldron was fired by Matt Eberflus and he promoted Brown to OC and then the Bears fired Eberflus and promoted Brown to Interim HC.

Ok, now you really have to watch the game tonight

Yep. I rarely watch Washington but I'll be tuned in now.

I refuse to root for San Fran. If the Commodes lose, I'll just have to wait for next week to celebrate.

We can't lose with the Shitters on Monday night. If they get a meaningless win it helps us and fucks their draft pick. If they lose we can laugh at them.

Note will start against Seattle after the Washington bunch beat Atlanta tonight. Maybe at LT.
