Twenty Random Never Say You've Seen It All Thoughts

[AvengerRam]

1. "I swear I've seen a lot of stuff in my life, but that... was... AWESOME!!!"

- Tommy Boy Callahan
- me (12/8/22)

2. Holy crap on a stick. Did I actually just see Baker Mayfield lead a 98 yard game winning TD drive with 2 minutes, no timeouts, and only 48 hours in town?

3. Let's not take away from three other players who made this happen: Van Jefferson, Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell!!!! All had big catches!!!

4. Cam Akers owes all of those guys a big fruit basket!!!

5. Let's face it guys and gals... we needed this one. Its been a tough, tough season. Nice to have something to smile about.

6. So what does this mean going forward?

7. First, we have something to look forward to seeing for the next few weeks (particularly good for me, as I'm travelling to Lambeau for next Monday's game).

8. Second, we hopefully have our back-up for Matthew Stafford for next year.

9. Third, maybe a starting QB of the future?

10. I know... I'm getting ahead of myself. But Mayfield, with time to actually master the system and the benefit of Kupp and Robinson (along with others), could be a very good fit in this offense. He has the arm, he has the wheels... maybe he just needs McVay to take him to the next level?

11. I know... too soon. But, shit.... that was freaking exciting!!!!

12. Let's give credit to the defense - particularly Bobby Wagner, Ernest Jones and Greg Gaines - for keeping the game in reach after a shaky start.

13. Jalen Ramsey got beat a couple of times but, in the end, Davante Adams had only 3 catches (71 yards) on 7 targets.

14. The refs gave us a hard time with some picky calls, but they made up for it by not letting two clear penalties (PI, unsportsmanlike conduct) go on the last drive.

15. So... are the Browns happy the massaged their starting QB position the way they did, or is it the Rams who will have the happy ending?

16. Yeah... I went there!

17. Kyren Williams is continuing to earn a role, and Cobie Durant is looking like a keeper. Nice to see some production from the rookie class.

18. The graphic they put up on the telecast - only 5 starters from the Super Bowl have played in every game this year - tells you all you need to know.

19. Can't believe this Florida boy is going to a night game in Green Bay in December. My 20 Random Thoughts may be delayed next week until I return and my fingers thaw out.

20. Seriously... wow!

I hope baker keeps feeding Tutu! We have desperately needed a speed threat in this offense and we are finally seeing some potential out of him.

This is what we get with a happy Baker Mayfield. Rams have ten days to get him up to speed with the playbook before they play the Packers.

 

[badnews]

Atwell is a natural receiver with unnatural speed. Feed him.

The only similarities between him and Tavon Austin are initials and stature.

#15 hahahaha

Makes me hope OBj is healthy and still in play for us in 2023, both Stafford & Mayfield have chemistry with the guy.

21. The Lions are sending the Panthers and the Raiders a lump of coal for Christmas.

They need to rebuild a great OL next yr...whether its keeping some these guys for depth, but add a couple of guys who are capable of starting and playing well, especially at C & OG.

I've got Higbee & Van Jeff on the trade block and my mock has us taking 3 OL in the draft.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Yes! Now we have 10 days to get ready for the Packers!

 

[Ewe83]

Now I'm upset I didn't watch, I started making dinner, checked the score and it was 13-3 and I said oh well and turned on something else, the highlights were fun this morning though

Not sure about that.

Not exactly... the reason OBJ left the Browns was supposedly because of the lack of chemistry he had with Mayfield and the little feud they had going egged on by OBJ's dad

Just a little ...

Lol, I had them penciled in for the number two pick. If Baker continues his trajectory they could be picking outside of the top ten.

 

[Rams8821]

Enjoy the game on Monday night!!

 

[bubbaramfan]

TuTu is proving he can play with the big boys and showed he has game moxy with him running into the db forcing the PI flag, that's a football smart move on his part.

Akers fumbling again at a critical moment. How many does that make going back to last year?

Hoecht is NOT an OLB, maybe 3rd and long. Guy can;t seal the edge, Raiders gained big yds on end arounds going Hoechts way.

Powell is going to break one eventually.

Skowronick elevating his game.

TuTu and Jefferson definitely showed up last night. Williams was great in pass-pro, too.
