Yeah, not sure why anyone would think this is a "trap game", haha. The Rams are playing for their playoff lives

Also, I can see SoFi being full of brownie fans. They rarely play in LA, and their fans may travel for this one. We shall see.

Totally agree. I could make an argument for winning against SF but dont see a way they take out Baltimore unless Lamar slips in the shower on game day or something

Why ? Is Lamar some invincible legend or something? Our defense contained his mini-me last weekend. Make him one dimensional. They lost Andrews. Their defense is really good but if we play to our ability and stay healthy I think we can pull it off. The main thing is McVay has to stick with a balanced approach and not let Stafford get roughed up

Man, #91, quite the steal. I can see Kobie being a 8-10 sack/year guy at DT.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here somewhere before, but anyone else think Dak's "Here we gooooo" is annoying as all hell?

Yes

I should be issuing timeouts for a number of you, but I'm just gonna lock this thread instead. Disappointing.

We can start a new thread if something new comes out on this.

Hope we can flush the browns. Then maybe I'll take a week vacation for the Ravens game.

Not a fan of that at all from a sports viewership perspective.
Gaming - sure I could see the value and entertainment. But not live sports (for me at least).

Yeah, this ain't the GSOT.

Who is our gunner on ST? I feel like Tomlinson might be a good option.

I'll add on to my Tom Brady hatred: Tom Brady's marriage vows are mediocre.

Zach Ertz just released by Arizona … He’s still pretty good just sayin

At least they are self aware.

Cowboys. Niners. Eagles. We'll know a lot more about Seattle after their next three games.

But, as Ramstien says above, all we can do is win our games and see what happens.

That is a gauntlet 2 of the 3 Seattle will be on the road. I am predicting they will lose all 3 especially with Walker out for minimumly 1 of those games.

You guessed it, the Rams play ANOTHER opponent coming off a bye..

In their house.
THAT would be quite a win.

Respect. Don't ring that bell.

Even though you are a Chowboy fan, I did it.

People need to temper their judgment of the defensive front 7. What you see is what Morris wants. His front 7 is playing passively, i.e. allowing the play to come to them instead of attacking the play. What do you guys think a 2 gap NT and gap and a half for the rest means? It's all about defending the LOS not disrupting the offense. It's designed to limit the offense not stop them.

When you ask the NT to align heads up to the center and for the DT and DE to collapse the A gaps (that is what gap and a half means) it means the NT is supposed to stand the center up and shed him if the run is inside. The DT and DE are supposed to pinch inside to narrow the A gaps changing their trajectory from penetration to simply closing down run lanes. Why do you think I say it's about defending the LOS not disrupting the play in the backfield? It makes the OL calls and the read by the QB all too easy the minute they see the NT align heads up on the center. In other words Morris is showing his defense before the snap making the OL calls much easier.

Yeah it makes running inside harder but conversely it makes running outside easier which is why people are bitching about lack of contain. They criticized Hoecht for doing exactly what Morris wanted him to do. We have seen the improvement in the secondary by simply allowing them to play aggressively. Can you imagine how good this secondary would be with Ramsey still there? But Morris wasted his talent by making him play in a passive zone.

So what I'm saying is that people need to temper their criticism of the defensive players because a lot of what we are seeing is the product of a ultra conservative passive DC and the way he chooses to play his personnel. Pleasant's influence on the secondary is proof of that.

I miss the old school coaches like Denny who were willing to speak their minds. So many coachspeak bastids nowadays, makes shit bland and boring.

Apparently it's taken longer than expected for JJ3 to get back into playing shape according to McVay

So what are the must-watch games on your TV boys. Some of them are obvious, like Bama vs Georgia, will be tuned in to those. Personally I feel like Washington is a bit of a fluffed up team, but gonna watch them vs the Ducks for the QBs if nothing else.

Latest top ten is interesting. Since my team is not involved (USC) I really could care less but have to say if Bama wins shit hits the fan like that final scene of Animal House.

There's an old adage in horse racing: they all look fast when they're running past trees.

Arizona weren't exactly the sternest of opposition; let's see how this team fares against better rivals in the coming weeks.

There are no "Trees" in the NFL

That cardinals team easily beat the cowboys earlier in the year.

The shitty Jets beat the Eagles in a game...

In the NFL anything can happen.
