Is it just me…

[Ramlife]

Had to watch the Fox NFC games on iPad…not the best experience.

Local FOX affiliate is off air while negotiating with Directv.

Jags-Chiefs was the best game, I thought.

For a fanbase who hates Morris' bend but don't break defense, how could the SF/Dallas game not be enjoyable?

(Besides SF winning of course)

Of course I was disappointed in Travon Diggs letting Kittle get away un-hit on that circus catch!

Diggs definitely made a business decision on that one, he could have at least made an effort.. then his brother had to yell at his Qb like some kind of spoiled brat. Not impressed with Diggs performances over the weekend. Good players.. but caved on the stage this go round.

Sure, its less interesting with the Rams not in it.
But last years Rams would have a tough time beating all of the 4 teams left. They are all really good and I expect a great Championship Weekend.
Rams barely beat Cincy last year and the Bengals are better this year. Burrow has a look in his eye, on a misssion. Humble and cocky at the same time. Always liked the kid, remeinds me of Montana. And I hated that guy until he retired.(which hit was better, Burts or Marshall?)
I say its the Bengals and Eaglels in the big game and while the big cats are my favorite AFC team Philly is very tough.
Look dominate to me.

Both are good Joes but the real “Joe Cool” Montana wouldn’t be caught dead posing off the field like Burrows does regularly. Maybe it’s just the new era but I hate all posing on and off the field. Play the game hard. Show excitement on a great play. Snd celebrate after the game. Now get off my lawn you damn teenagers!!!

Not just you. These games were snoozefests. With chokers. It's not even about the Rams not being in it because we've all dealt with that for too many years. Just overall shitty matchups.

I can watch an entire football game, and do all the time. Not baseball though. Baseball sucks for the most part. It has its moments, but generally sucks!

Baseball is best viewed in a bar while drinking 12-13 beers

Eh, baseball may be slow-paced and my third favorite sport after football and hockey, but I love the Cardinals and their players. Watching Albert Pujols go for 700 and Wainwright and Yadi go for the record in all-time battery starts was exciting. It's not football, but I really do think it's good to go live and to watch on TV.

Hockey, though, has to be seen live in order to truly appreciate it.

Or in a ballpark with said beers and all the food smells swirling around.

I thought the saturday games were rough but the Sunday games were solid games.

Not nailbiters but real interesting. We learned Dak isnt a top tier QB but Burrow definitely is.

I would also say that Josh Allen is lacking elite passer quality. He doesn't posses the same anticipation, vision, touch and accuracy as Burrow does. Running around as a franchise QB is no way to play the game if you want a long career.

So yea, not as exciting as last year but maybe more revealing.

Yeah, as I mentioned Baseball does have its moments, especially the post-season.

Hockey. You can't see the puck on TV, especially at a bar.

Now, back when the Ducks were good and won it all, I went to a lot of those games. My brother was the strength coach for the team in the Paul Kariya, Teemu Selanne days. One game, I bought tickets front row on the glass. It was amazing. Players smashed on the glass literally inches in front of you. I felt like I was part of the game. One of the best sports experiences I've ever had. You just can't get closer to the action than that!

I watched the Blues lift Lord Stanley's Cup (and I cried like a baby after that. One of my early Rams memories was seeing them win the Super Bowl in the 99-00 season, but I had never expected the Blues to actually win it all, not when they were at the literal bottom of the league in December).

The Blues were actually my first sports memory, listening on the radio in the basement with my dad some time when I was, like five years old. We played the Avalanche (and I heard Joe Sakic score two goals where we lost.) But yeah, I was downtown for the Stanley Cup celebration, and it was fucking amazing. Vince Dunn (one of our then-defensemen) fell on my lap, and I was, like, "OMG, THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"

That was until I heard the Rams win it all against Cinci. I love the Blues, I love the Cardinals, I love the Mizzou Tigers...but the Rams are my true love, the team I'd follow to hell and back.

This year I was in the stadium when Harper hit the homerun that essentially sent the Phillies to the World Series. Never been in a stadium that loud. The drama in a baseball playoff game is tough to beat.

 

[Steve808]

Really hoping for better games next week although I will be disappojj in need of the 9ers don’t get taken out in Philly.

I didn’t expect the Bengals to get passed the Bills and was hoping for a repeat of Chiefs v Bills. Now with Mahomes fighting a high ankle sprain it could mean an easier Bengals win.

Sure would have been sweet to have a rematch of last year’s SB.

I don't care other than Philly trashing the whiners. If that doesn't happen, then my next hope is that Mahomes or Burrows takes down the whiners. I want to see dweebo crying on the sideline after the game again.

Of course dweebo might have been crying because he talked trash and lost.

That was an awesome game - was at a bar in Arlington watching both the Phillies and also GB losing to the Commodes. Not a bad day at all!

The Ducks? Next thing you’ll tell me that your first loves were the Renters, Angels Clippers and Bruins! Every old guy from LA should love the Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, Kings and Trojans, ya poser! Next thing you’ll tell me that you love Crane style Kung Fu, more than Tiger style! SMH.

Rams would have beaten ALL 4 teams this weekend......

It's impossible to conclude this team would have beat that team or vice versa. I agree the Rams would have had a tough time beating any of these 4 teams but I also say these 4 teams would have had a tough time beating the Rams. Isn't that what makes it interesting?

I remember last year we weren't going to win in Lambeau, Cincy wasn't going to beat KC and we sure as hell weren't going to beat SF!! Kansas City? Buffalo? They would have been tough games for the Rams!!

But we don't know if Stafford would have hit Kupp for a TD in the closing seconds of any matchup or if Aaron Donald would have made a crucial stop, then a sack on the next play to win the game. Certainly he wouldn't have done that twice to end games....until he did.

That's why we love football. Any team can beat any other team any time. So we should cherish the 2021 season and know as a fact, we were the best team on the field every time we absolutely had to be just that.

I'd match the 2021 Rams against any team in history including the 1999 Rams!

You nailed the story of my life!

I grew up early years in Westlake Village and was Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, Kings. 8th Grade I moved to Orange County and morphed into Rams, Angels, Lakers, Ducks. Never the renters! (lol)

Crane is superior too! (lol)

If you live in LA or Orange County - Dodgers all the way (Angels are a triple A organization)

As Loyal said - Ya poser

For a fanbase who hates Morris' bend but don't break defense, how could the SF/Dallas game not be enjoyable?

(Besides SF winning of course)

Of course I was disappointed in Travon Diggs letting Kittle get away un-hit on that circus catch!

Because I despise both teams.

Bengals all the way. Other three teams can suck it.
