With the chosen name of David Ray, we have been around a looooong time.
Maybe War brothers.
I realize we allow a fair bit of leeway in the GDT, but let's knock this back and forth off.
Been an Army contractor in Maintenance / Supply for going on 44 years.
Were you active duty Air Force at one time?
All civilian. About half the guys I have flown with are either Air Force reserves or retired active duty. Great group of pilots.
As I do you, I always thank them for their service.
My guess we are about the same age.
Turned 67 a couple months ago. Been a RAMS fan since that Saturday in 1967 when I came inside from playing just in time to see Tony Guillory block Donny Anderson's punt and Gabe, off a play fake, hit Bernie Casey with the winning TD in the Coli.
I turn 65 next June. Amazing how many of us know the moment our fandom got locked in.
Mine was 1973 the first year they changed their uniforms back to the blue and gold, My moment was the game against Dallas. Four John Hadl to Harold Jackson TD's. I still watch that from time to time on Youtube.
It has been an unbelievable ride.
Yes, that was during the World Series when the Athletics beat the Mets (my team) and won the 2nd of 3 World Series in a row. Was going back and forth from NBC's baseball coverage to CBS's football coverage that day. And both outcomes were gratifying that Sunday in October.
We had the game on in the car. Couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Didn’t like the hold on Puka’s TD.He stepped inside & then he turned & batted the DE down with his momentum?Sort of like when a basketball player is posting up & you pull the ladder & they fall.
WOW what a catch by Puka.(a couple of them).
The Tutu Atwell non call.If he catches it though the game probably would’ve been over.
There were a few holding calls that didn’t get called,but the ripping of Puna’s helmet was blatant.Ferguson wanted a PI,but not sure it was catchable?
-The season moves on & Mcvay needs to get things right. IMO the time off hurt The Rams,but they had time to get healthy.
How annoying would it be if the Falcons were going into the final week with a chance to make the playoffs and actually did it, dropping that pick into the 20s? Guh.
When I saw this happen, I thought it was absurd that they called us for holding after all the penalties they ignored in the trenches on the Falcons. Now, it's worse than that because this is not holding:

Scoring that TD with nearly 5 minutes remaining instead of with less than 3 minutes remaining could have swung the game. It would have required Atlanta to run a lot more time off the clock before they got their FG.

I truly believe they mistakenly called 72 but actually meant to call it on McClendon. He's got his right arm hooked.
Given how they enforce holding, don't think that qualifies either, independent of them letting the Falcons get away with murder. Personally, I don't think it was a mistake. I think they saw the Falcons EDGE go down and assumed Humphries must have dragged him down.
Stupid AZZ Troy Aikman said that’s a no brianer.You can’t take a guy down like that.He said Humpries basically tackled the DE !
I don’t agree because his arm was straight.
Troy Aikman has been a mouth piece for the NFL for sometime. He's not gonna bad mouth them. Even on the PI missed call at the end of the game he was spineless in the missed call.
I like Troy but it is what it is, in reality the game should have never been close.
