Like most of us, still processing the loss to Hags, and hating that we didn't capitalize on a MVP season from Stafford. You never know how many opportunities you'll have to get to a SB.

It also always still stings to see Kupp in another uniform, especially after his SB performance against the Bengals. We don't win that ring without him.

What really sucks is if what the Athletic is reporting is true:

"Kupp left the Rams in intriguing circumstances before he joined the Seahawks last offseason, with a new report showing just how brutal the breakup between the two was — leading to a bizarre incident between coaches this season. The Athletic reported that the Rams had warned teams against giving Kupp anything more than a minimum contract due to his age and injuries.

"According to The Athletic, Rams assistant coach Drew Wilkins, among others, was in an elevator with Seahawks linebacker coach Chris Partridge during halftime as they came down from their box to the locker room — a regular occurrence in NFL games where coaches attempt to get down as quickly as they can.

"One Rams coach asked another which Seahawks receiver had fumbled the ball after a catch, with another noting it was Kupp before laughing.

"Partridge took issue with the reaction and reportedly had to be held back after confronting the Rams coach."

Article could just be Hags biased or exaggeration, but if it's true, it doesn't show the Rams in the best light. The NFl is a business, and a lot of players seem to love playing for the Rams, but I hope this isn't the way it really ended with Kupp.

All hearsay and a lot of nothing. Rams organization has always been classy. They tore up Kupp’s contract and gave him a huge raise after the 2021 season. He could not stay on the field so they moved on. Time to put all this trash in the rear view mirror. Pure speculation for clicks.
 
Hopefully, it was mostly - if not all - rumors. There have been a few "interesting" player interactions with the Rams in recent years - Gurley, Akers, and Jones come to mind - but mostly Rams seem to be a place where players want to be.

Just sucks seeing any former Rams great in another division rival's uniform. I still get queasy thinking about Ike with the Whiners...
