What's your beat the Cardinals meal this week?

We will be having taco soup that my wife made last night.

Had planned to make veggie sandwiches with this dill infused havarti that we found.

Who has the recipe for deep fried Kyler?

I was a Rams fan before this, but this season was the first season where I really became aware of the NFL. It was so fun to see and hear names that I haven't heard in decades. Mercury Morris, Johnny Unitas (passed 40,000 yards in this week) and many more. Woodall filled in for an injured Joe Namath in the Jets game. Namath was quoted as saying that John Hadl was the best passer in the league (lol @den-the-coach ). The Eagles' Roman Gabriel dueled with the Redskins' back up QB Sonny Jerginson while healthy starter Billy Kilmer stalked the sideline.
It's interesting to remember the powerhouse teams in 1973 like the Miami Dolphins (defending World Champs), Steelers, Vikings and Cowboys..
I also realized why I was less familiar with Olinemen's names, Dbacks, etc... on the Rams because I rarely got to see a game on TV at 10 yrs old and only heard about the stars making big plays in the highlights and rarely read a sports page (Don't remember Dad taking a paper back then). This changed quite a bit after I saw a game in person when the Browns played the Rams that year. I believe Dad was gifted those tickets and he took me to the game. We went to Dodgers games much more frequently (less expensive?). Anyway, enjoy this old timers.... You too @Corbin !

Anyone get anything cool?

Got the 99 team towel stadium giveaway they gave out this year. Small item but I enjoyed it.

Also got some Rams Grilling tools.

What say you?

or Jim Kelly in the 1983 NFL Draft? We drafted the great Eric Dickerson in 1983, bypassing Richard Dent, Daryl Green, Kelly and Marino. John Robinson was a ground and pound kind of guy that wouldn't pass up a HOF running back, most likely. But what if we had taken a HOFer QB in 1983? Qould we have won a Super Bowl with him?

Versatile, lanky, and aggressive, Jaylen McCollough cut his teeth playing football down south, and the animalistic culture surrounding SEC football has bred some of the best defensive backs in the NFL.

But it's deeper than that. It's a football identity formed on the harsh gridirons in McCollough's native Georgia – a high school recruiting hotbed that McCollough's play earned him a four-star ranking and an eventual scholarship.


While he fell through the cracks in the pre-draft process, McCollough brings those experiences and mentality front and center when he shines as the Rams' newest defensive star. The undrafted free agent out of Tennessee surprised many during training camp and after a strong preseason, McCollough has been an irreplaceable part of the Rams' defense.

Like another safety from the south, Derwin James, McCullough has been asked to play various roles that have carved out a unique position for him. He'll fluctuate between getting close to the line of scrimmage and dropping deep, he's an excellent tackler and has been used to plug the run. He's often assigned to the running back, displaying excellent discipline to not get faked out on play actions and wheel routes.

On Sunday, McCollough put in a season-high nine tackles against the Jets but none of those were as crucial as his coverage on Breece Hall in the endzone. McCollough's discipline and technique forced Aaron Rodgers to throw an uncatchable ball at the end of the first half. The Jets settled for three points to it would be their last score of the game. That play served as a crucial turning point in the Rams' 19-9 victory and now the team is one step closer to clinching the NFC West.

McCollough is also tied for ninth in the league with four interceptions, with his ball skills dissuading teams from throwing his way. McCollough's interceptions have played a pivotal role as his two against Las Vegas kickstarted the Rams' recent run of success and his pick against Seattle disrupted their offensive strategy to the point of ineffectiveness.


Thanks to one undrafted rookie signing, the Rams have their safety for the future. A gem waiting to be discovered, McCollough is not only one of the best undrafted free agents of 2024, he's one of the best players in the entire draft class period.

My cousins Son is David Canales. It has no doubt been a tough year for David taking over a squad with a psychologically damaged QB from last years draft, but I admire the way the team is playing for lately, and he might get something out of Bryce yet. Today, his team did the Rams a solid by beating the Cardinals. I hope he gets another year to keep the improvements coming for his team. Proud of you David, and thank you for beating one of our division rivals!

Turns out he’s a pretty damn good OC. Just didn’t have the horses in ‘22?

I'm trying to research it - but i think as it stands if we win next week we are in regardless of what happens in week 18.

I feel confident enough about our chances now to get in to start thinking about who we might face in the wildcard round. As things stand right now we have moved up to the 3rd seed, which means we would play the 6th seed in the first round. Here's how it looks right now:

* 1st Lions (13-2)
- 2nd Eagles (12-3)
- 3rd Rams (9-6)
- 4th Bucs (8-6) <Sunday Night game vs Cowpokes>
- 5th Vikings (12-2) <Playing now vs Seahawks>
- 6th Packers (10-4) <Monday Night game vs Saints>
- 7th Commodes (10-5)

8th Seahawks (8-6) <Playing now vs Vikings>
9th Falcons (8-7)

Worst matchup for us of the lower half seeded teams would probably be the Packers.
