Poll: Staring into the Abyss

The horror of it...The Marine gyards were posted near the wreck thought they could hear noises. The next morning it was sure because they hear a knocking sound from a forwatd watertight compartment. It drove those Marines guards crazy listening to them. They raised the wreck a few months later and they found several guys with a calender inside marked off 14 days that they survived, waiting for rescue.

They never told the families.
This is gut wrenching and true

VENT Garbage Game Vent Thread

Nope

30% say Goff only...as far as I counted

i dont agree with that math and even if that is right its not "everyone" or "the majority"

it's a false narrative... yeah people are criticizing goff.. but very few are sayign "its only him"

because you read a post that someone mentioned goff doesnt mean they didn't say something else in another post... nor does it mean they think goff is hte only problem

SNF: Titans at Packers

I don't think he is debating which is better, but pointing out even the great QBs need those elements.

Look at it this way, Rogers is 37... And has been to one SB. One!

So one of the most talented QBs over the last 40 yrs and he has been to a total of 1 SB in the 13 or so yrs that he has been a starter in this league.

So obviously even he needs a high quality supporting cast.
Oh yeah, to make it to the dance you definitely need a good team around you, no doubt. But you also need a QB thats not a turnover machine. Rodgers has like 43 tds to 4 ints this season...he is on another planet

What if I told you....

Going into week 17...

We'd destroy the Pats
We'd beat Brady
We'd have a top 3 Defense
and.....

If we win week 17 we'd be in the playoffs.....

Would you all take it?

Yes.

That said, this season for the Rams has been a truly 2020 season in that even when something goes well, it's kinda shit.

It's not our record, but HOW we got there.

It's not our stats, but HOW they occurred.

Superficially, this has been a pretty decent year. When you watch the games and realize we've been one of the healthiest teams with almost no down time to our offensive and defensive weapons... and especially in looking at HOW we've fared...

It's hard not to if not focus at least pay a lot of attention to how many opportunities have been squandered.

Oh, and we were NEVER gonna be a 6-10 team with this roster.

The good news is that with Goff shitting the bed and McVay altering the offense to not work with this personnel, we're still on the cusp of a 9 or 10 win season and maybe heading to the playoffs.

The big upside of this season is that our floor is 9 wins.

And honestly, that alone may help sustain me in this off-season when the ghosts of some of our shittier moments come to haunt me...

Russ Wilson's 13 Picks

So, Jared played the second half with a broken thumb. He never tipped the defense off by shaking it and wincing. That takes a whole lot of toughness and dedication. I'm proud of him for that.

I think some here believe I'm saying he's as good as Russell Wilson. I think Russ will be a HOF'er. I can't say that about Jared yet.

What I keep trying to point out is how perception changes the determination of a QB's evaluation from play to play. For example, Drew Brees threw a pick and Aikman criticized the receiver for drifting up instead of remaining flat. If it were Jared, I believe he would have pointed out that there was an open receiver on the other side. It's the old saying that if someone believes in you, no explanation is necessary but if they don't, none is possible. If you look for flaws, you will find them. If you look for goodness, you will find that as well. I hope this helps.

Iirc, he threw the INT before he broke his thumb.

Goff's always been tough and anyone saying otherwise has simply ignored all available evidence.

His issues especially of late have to do with him making terribad decisions.

Yes, the interior OL is a problem and yes, the scheme is improperly staffed at this time. Those are separate, but related issues which would still be talked about even if Goff weren't making super horrible decisions.

SaNF: Dolphins at Raiders

Yes. I saw all the games. I thought the Miami game was the absolute worst Rams performance I could recall in years, then along came last week's Jets game.

My thoughts were how could the 7-7 Raiders be playing the Dolphins so tough compared to how poorly the Rams played them.

I've been a long time Rams fan, and there's been so many whacked disappointing games. Watching the Raiders pile on the Dolphins was making that Dolphins loss feel even worse!

Did you see the Raiders/Miami game.
Didn’t the Jets just win there 2nd game in a row.
I look at games as a whole. There is a lot that goes into each game.The Rams are good & have a lot of talent.
They definitely had the better team. Blame Goff & OC(Mcvay). Plus special teams were really bad the Miami game.

Your thoughts on Noteboom

I still doubt him as any sort of LT of the future. He's a backup to my eyes plain and simple for the reasons you cited. If some team pays him starter money they will regret it IMO.

The JAG types out there in the league can have good games. They can look good in small windows. But at some point who they are will show through as they are gameplanned to expose their weaknesses. I think that's where Boom is. He's a great team guy and all that and I know Kromer loves him but he's a JAG.

Nothing has changed for LT this offseason. It remains an enormous piece of the puzzle for the Rams to figure out. Time is running out on Whit like it or not. What is the plan?

Totally agree. Teams are starting to exploit his weaknesses. Those weaknesses have been there since he first started a game as a Ram. I don't brink they miraculously get overcome. Left tackle is a huge need once Whitworth hangs it up.

Bad Coaching in the NFL

Speaking of bad coaches - I was super surprised to see that Kyle Shanahan, the lord and savior of the 49ers, only has one winning season under his belt during his tenure there. That was last year and we all know how that ended. Yet I never hear anyone mention that Shanahan is a bad coach. If anything I constantly hear that his win/loss record is a product of everything else going on around the team - injuries included. Isn't the old saying "you are what your record says you are"? If so, Shanahan is a loser and McVay is a perennial winner.

Apple iPhone CRAP

They don’t make crappy products.
But, they are naked in their desire to force people to buy a new set of chargers, cases, head phones etc for each model of phone.
It’s ridiculous but nothing new with Apple.
I keep my phones for a long time generally.....like 8-9 years so not such a big deal to me, but it is irritating.

NFC Player of the week: Cam Akers

Maybe I went of the deep end with The post above.

Ram Fans should know this Can Akers will be a Big Part of The Rams future.

Against the Jets he was hurt,but still gutted it out to give The Rams a chance.In FACT he scored the go AHEAD TD.The holding call was tough.

He gets the week off,but he deserves it & needs to heal for the Playoffs. Can’t believe there was not any more posting on Cam Akers play.
