As of now, Monday, forecast for game time is 66 degrees at kickoff, going down to 64, with light rain throughout the game.

Thread will be updated daily.

66 degrees in early January in Charlotte is WAYYY above normal.

Most yards by a #1 and #2 RB

RAMS >>>> Williams 1252; Corum 746 (1998)
Atlanta >>>> Bijan 1478; Allgeier 514 (1992)
Detroit >>>> Gibbs 1223; Montgomery 716 (1939)
Baltimore >>>> Henry 1595; Mitchell 341 (1936)
Buffalo >>>> Cook 1621; Davis 275 (1896)
Chicago >>>> Swift 1082; Monangai 783 (1870)

I'm not saying they're better than Gibbs/Montgomery or Bijan/Allgeier but their numbers are damn good

There was a point last night where I had to bail out of the GDT. It got so ridiculously toxic and antagonistic when the Cards took the lead in the third quarter. And even before then, when we weren't blowing them out and had to settle for a couple of field goals.

And it seems to be that's always the case when the team isn't playing well.

Comments verging on abusive about McVay and the team as a whole, with what little sensible balance there was drowned out.

I understand that people get upset, so do I. But it's the speed at which some people go from zero to manic outrage that almost takes my breath away.

I swear there were people in there last night who would have literally fired McVay given half a chance.

Ya know, the guy who's been the most successful head coach by some margin for the LA Rams. And who's just taken us to the playoffs yet again. But apparently, according to some posters, he doesn't know how to call plays.

I wonder if this incredible run of success we have had is making some Rams fans entitled. That, to them, making the playoffs is no longer good enough. We have to make the playoffs by playing outstanding football and dominating teams. Sports rarely work like that.

I know some people will say ignore the GDT. But living in the UK, it's hard to get into the threads later on when things have cooled down because it's the early hours, and I have work to do in the morning. And I really enjoy listening to some of the more knowledgeable posters talk about plays in real time. But those kinds of comments and insight seem to be becoming rarer and rarer.

I know a lot of people vent like that because it's their way of handling the situation, but I think that it's pushing some people away, and that frustrates me.

And yes, I realise I am venting about people venting. But I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.

To everyone freaking out about the Falcon pick dropping to 13, here are some notable players chosen 13 overall:

Franco Harris
Bob Lilly
Kellen Winslow
Tony Gonzalez
and.....
Aaron Donald.

Just logged in to read the win thread and find no one cares the Rams won. WTF?

How lucky we are to have a lot of these players McSnead finds to bring in. Puka is just so fun to watch and his energy is infectious.

Easy trip for me....

WHOSE in?

Callahan and Dumbell, I mean Daboll already canned.
Who will join them?

Petey boy sure to retire or get shit canned
Cant see the Jets keeping Aaron Glenn, the team has totally quit on him
Stefansky? McDaniel? Who's gonna get axed next?

He was a difference maker today and adds another weapon for Stafford in the post season. I hope we find a way to keep him at least one more year.

RAMS WIN, RAMS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MATTHEW STAFFORD WITH FOUR TOUCHDOWNS, PUKA WITH TEN CATCHES AND A BADASS TOUCHDOWN, HIGBEAST WITH ALMOST A HUNDRED AND A TOUCHDOWN, AND EVEN PARKINSON GOT TWO TOUCHDOWNS!

NOW LET'S KICK ASS IN THE PLAYOFFS! DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE PLAY; IF WE PLAY OUR GAME, WE WIN. PERIOD.

How would yall feel about Todd Bowles as a DC? To me he’s the embodiment of “tremendous coordinator/below average head coach”. And the chances of him getting a third shot at a head coaching job seem slim. He’s someone that could be in the job for several years. Something to consider if we lose Shula.

Why not give Hunter one game this season. He is inactive again. Come on McVay.

After Jackson Smith-Njigba’s performance tonight against the San Francisco 49ers, Rams’ receiver Puka Nacua has to be doing the math. Nacua is the definition of Team player, of course and will be working with his teammates to achieve a victory against the Arizona Cardinals, and help secure the #5 seed in the NFC playoffs. A victory tomorrow would bring the Rams to 12-5, tied with the 49ers, but the Rams, of course, would finish ahead in the tie-breaking formula.

But on a personal level, Nacua has had An amazing season. Many pundits and football experts believe Nacua is worthy of Offensive Player of the year. With Just 155 yards Sunday, Puka will surpass Smith-Njigba for the NFL receiving yards title. (Edit: And he will have achieved the feat playing ONE LESS GAME)


The question, with Playoffs looming, is: will Coach Sean McVay allow Nacua to play enough to achieve the goal?

Secondly, a very interesting dynamic is shaping up regarding another NFL Wide Receiving title at stake for the 2025 season: Most receptions. Currently Nacua is tied with Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride with 119 receptions. The only other player close is Cincinnati Bengal receiver Jamar Chase. As Chase and the Bengals will be playing their game against the Browns in the early window, Both McBride and Nacua will know how many catches they will need to surpass Chase. (Assuming he has at least 3 catches Sunday)

They true drama will be, how many catches from drive-to-drive will they need to keep up with each other! Though for the Cardinals at 3-13, McBrides pursuit may be one of the team’s few inspirations in an otherwise lost season. Another underlying goal for the Cardinals may be to play the part of spoiler, affecting the playoff seedings in the NFC.



Lastly, in looking at the third leg to the NFL Receivers Triple Crown this is the most interesting thing that occurred to me: Imagine as we all celebrated mid-season, when our quarterback Matthew Stafford was lighting the World on fire delivering all those red-zone touchdowns to Devonte Adam’s, if he had looked Nacua’s way JUST TWICE.



Adam’s would be sitting idle with a still-respectable 12 touchdowns, Puka Nacua would have 11 touchdowns with one game to go. (And the accompanying 2 catches, and let’s say 20 yards for the sake of arguement.)

Never mind a couple of touchdowns that were called back, such as the one Monday Night against Atlanta, and someone will have to remind me- there was at least another one a few weeks ago.

The Triple Crown chatter going into this final preseason game would be a Huge story line. And might I add one that would ADD to the goal of winning the final game not distract from it. My opinion. And probably add to the case for Matthew Stafford MVP, as well.

Just some rantings from this lunatic. I’d be curious to hear what you all think about the Triple Crown that will never be, in this incredible year from Puka Nacua. I think he could easily win two of the three legs, though.

Heck just win that Lombardi, and all will be good with me.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the fix is definingly in with Vegas controlling the outcome of these games. These NFL officials either just are not good enough or they are trying to affect the outcome of these games. Rodger Goodell is a shit head, and the NFL is putting out a flawed product.

As a dedicated fan of US doctrine, warfare, and general ass kickery on the world stage, I have some favored youtube streamers I like to watch. But I have to say this dude is the best. If you like tanks and firepower crack a cold one and enjoy:

Before this season, all we saw the last few years was how good Stafford was and how much he has carried the Rams. This year he has the best season of his career and I’ve seen people saying that Drake Maye would win more games on this team. And that he was actually not good in the Super Bowl win vs the Bengals.

It feels like the goalposts have shifted now that he’s comfortably in HOF territory. Idk if it’s because fans prefer an underdog story rather than “he’s finally made it” story. But it just seems like a big shift against him in the last few weeks.

For new years I made this pork with sauerkraut. I have quite a bit of shredded pork left and I think it'll make some awesome tacos with like a diced onion/cliantro/pinapple type topping. . . I am open to ideas if anyone has any. . .

What are you all making to close out the season and head into the playoffs?
