..and conversely - the NFC West gave up 84 points this weekend - or 28 per game.

No way in hell this team is better than last year. We had way more talent. If you said they have a chance to be better next year then I'd run with that. Other than that, I do agree with most of what you said.

I was comparing the talent level at Week 9 of last year (remember how many injuries we had) vs. this year. We have more now.

Loved him from the first time I saw him on the field for the Rams in a preseason game against the Cowboys in Hawaii. You could just tell he was a baller and understood how to make plays. Instinctive and understood football.

Sigh.

Ok Cowboys Eagles was fun.

Loser scotch is no where near as good as victory scotch.

Caught between a rock and a hard place. It would be best to give Stafford a couple more weeks to heel.

Has he been running loose?

We will RALLY around Brett Rypien....and we'll PLAY good Football.........

JK: we'll probably lose badly...

Fun list you should join us over here in Corbin's thread

And I have to work.

A lot of money, esepcially for a team that still needs a QB and other players. But at least the Bears had a plan and executed it. An outstanding DE will help a lot if they can build around him.

Their QB will be on a rookie deal though. And they have a ton of cap next year anyways.

They do an even longer extended version than the Pompeii version.

Hard to believe they can improve on Pompeii but I think they did and they also do an amazing job with Echoes on the Live in Gdansk

Gotta check it out. Thsnks

You have to let the draft come to you. It isn't wise going into the draft looking to fill a particular position first. We have multiple needs and a stud player fitting one of our top needs will be there. There is the option of trading down a little to align position with value, but that hasn't really worked out for us in the past.

geeze loweeze...

talk about a hilarious thread...

you guys are killin me...

go rams

Packers going down easier than a $5 hooker

You're speaking on emotion. Kendrick is giving up just a little over 40 YPG. If he was "toast" and so easy to burn, opposition would be targetting him much more. I would love for details of all these instances where opposition WR's "run straight past him", concerning this longest gain he's given up is 36 yards, and Yeast missed a tackle that would have taken 15 yards off of that.

His play since his arrest has been shit.

Paying Young will likely backfire on SF. He isn't the type of guy I'd trust to work hard when he's got a big bank account. So I hope that happens.

Oh. Dear. Fate.

That's an amazing interpretation, and it makes so much sense. Nice job, Elm.

I didn’t write it. My hippy cousin sent it to me. I don’t know where she got it from. There was no link.

So I copy and pasted it. Sorry for the confusion.

No help right now though he may come back this year. But imo he will be some team's starting QB in the future. He's really smart, was totally in command of the Tennessee offense, and can really REALLY throw the ball. Makes all kinds of good plays.

It's too bad the Rams couldn't have landed him. The Lions don't need him, they will resign Goff. Hooker could have backed up Stafford for 2-3 years and then taken over.

I'm a big fan of the kid too.
As it stands though, considering draft position the Rams would have had to have taken him instead of Avila

LMFAO Lack of vision? Let's see 2 Super Bowl appearances in 4 years with one Lombardi. Geez how myopic huh?

Now he's cleared the decks to remodel this franchise to be more sustainable. Where is the lack of vision? Look at this last draft. Did that show a lack of vision?

Let's see.....

Nacua a Kupp clone. Yep wasted pick
Turner looks like an able replacement for Donald when he retires. Yep another wasted pick
Avila is most certainly garbage right?
Dotson? Bad trade right?
Witherspoon? Terrible acquisition
Young is obviously a wasted pick.
Atwell took too long to develop....he's garbage right?
Williams is a scrub right?
Freeman like Witherspoon was a terrible acquisition.
Lake and Yeast are scrubs at safety right?

Hmmm 11 players that shouldn't be on the team right?

Hell even Goff has validated his draft status, just not under McVay's system.

Get real dude. It's not lack of vision simply because you don't understand what the plan is.

When they won the Super Bowl I'm sure people thought Snead is horrible as GM we'd be better off with Dave Ziegler (formerly of the Raiders). Yeah McVay just got lucky right? The Rams didn't deserve the Lombardi they went all in to get....right?

So why would McVay be instantly hired if fired? Why would Snead be hired almost as quickly? How many GMs can say they brought in as many HOF players as Snead? Many if not most go through their entire career without any.

YOU JUDGE A COACH OR GM BY THE BODY OF THEIR WORK OVER THEIR CAREERS, NOT BY ONE OR TWO SEASONS.

Just saw this stat on ESPN.

After having less penalties than the opposing team in their 1st 4 games, in 3 of their last 4 games the Steelers had more penalties. The other game they were even.

I'm baffled...maybe bewildered is a better term at the polar opposite halves that we have been having. 1 good half and 1 bad half...the play calling in the second half of the Bengal game was just plain stupid/dangerous....same with the Steelers game..I know many here attribute that to the youth of the team. The problem is, the youth are not calling the plays...and if your youth are not executing the plays correctly, then perhaps call some plays that play to their strengths. But leaving an overmatched LT in the Bengals game one on one on the Bengals best pass rusher is just insanity.....The Cardinals second half was a revelation...and then a celebrating Kyren Williams has to be casted up and miss 4 games. Now I'm just ranting...I'll stop. This team is not analyzible at the moment...it takes logic to analyze and this team is defying logic at the moment.
