Very cool. Saw Rams at NE this year. Gonna try to get to SoFi next year.

2 very important questions:
What % were Rams fans vs Bills fans?
How much was a beer at SoFi?
Looked to me to be pretty much a 50-50 split. But at least in my section, the Rams fans were louder (driven in no small part by myself and my wife!). Not sure on the beer prices. I go so rarely (again, hoping to make it bi-annual) since it requires a cross-continent flight and a hotel stay in expensive LA that I splurge for the VIP tickets and close seats - what's a few 100 more at that point to sit in those seats vs. somewhere else - food and drink is included.

Amazing, thrilling and exhilarating win. I was in an area of the state with fickle internet connection so luckily this was the FOX national game. Tom Brady pronounced Havenstein’s name so many ways that I forgot how it’s actually pronounced.

I definitely had my doubts going in to this game. Mostly because we had yet to beat one of the “top dog” teams this year.

Allen is a great QB, and he almost pulled it off.

But I think this was the kind of game the Rams brass envisioned this offseason: defense is a work in progress but offense can run and shoot with anybody when firing on all cylinders
The Bills game proved that with our best OL and a savvy field general operating at high efficiency we would be running away with the Wild, Wild NFC West and would probably be the top dog in the NFC. Matthew is a game changer. Instead of merely accepting what good defenses give you, he can actually dictate to those defenses with no-look tosses and near perfect passes.

Even if he is not getting the ball he does some good work clearing things out. He runs deep and other guys run stuff underneath quite a bit. Defenses have to respect his speed.
I would like Tutu to be used more....in fact I was often called out on this site for stating this through last year and the off season....but, he has his role. I was not sold on Robinson, but, he too has his skill set and contributes in a big way.
There are roles for all four.
Tutu and Robinson have both delivered more often than not when called on.
Ive been impressed with both of them.
Robinson being so effective in the deep red zone is a direct cause of having Kupp and Puka in there because they demand so much attention in the deep red zone. But, Robinson is good at getting quick separation and that serves him well on short quick throws like you get inside the 10. He is also a determined blocker.
I hope the Rams resign Tutu.
I think the Rams WR room with Kupp, Puka, Robinson, Tutu and Whittington can be a special one.
I could certainly see a role for Tutu where he is getting 50 + yards a game and be a key contributor, as we have seen several times this year.
A key thing that frees it up for all of them is play action off of the running game.
I would for sure get him on Ward on Thursday and take a couple of shots.
Ward cannot run with him.
For all we know, the Leprechaun is saving Tutu's usage for the playoffs (or even the SuperBowl!!!) when the better defenses have less time to adjust for his blazing speed and solid route running. We may tag on Sean from time to time, but when he needs to show his brilliance, he can be a couple steps ahead of everyone else.

I'm inclined to send him a note c/o FOX asking for our Lombardi's back...
If we had Matthew at QB in 2018, the Pats would have lost to the Horns. Hello, if we had a healthy Matthew from 2018, we would be riding the crest of a bonafide dynasty!!!
