I think you could be right @flv. I applied some patches a few weeks back. I have one more to do, which could impact this (possibly). Reading the details of that patch, I don’t see mention of this.

The other changes you see... yes, those were cosmetic alterations I made for the hell of it.

There is a really cool update to the software coming soon I will be sharing with the board in short time. It still may be a 30-90 days away... but it’s a nice one that gives alternate post formats, for topics, articles, polls, and questions... it’s a nice design we will really like. (there’s a teaser for anyone who sees this post)...

I haven’t tallied my winnings... But I think I went backwards.

I did find a futures game here in Canada that allows online play. Made a few low dollar wagers there.

I picked Rams and Cards on a couple due to nice lines, and they are teams in the CoVID season (which who knows right now how things go) seem like good enough teams that could win some games... see what happens.

I just hope the Skins are for real.

The Niners got a dam cake schedule at the beginning....

Jets
Giants
Eagles
Dolphins

Then comes murderers row.....

Rams
Patriots
Seahawks
Packers
Saints
Rams
Bills
Washington
Cowboys
Cardinals
Seahawks

I don't see any way the Niners win 8 games, which is delicious.

This week versus the Jets will show a lot.
They should blow them out early.
If the Jets stick around and make a game of it, the SB loss hangover is in effect.

Good deal for the Rams. As stated Kupp will get another good size contract. He gets a little less money for a shorter term and gets to stay here with his young family.

I agree, just showcased Joe Judge their new Head Coach because I believe that was a horrendous hire...We will see how it works out, but I would not be shocked if their GM Dave Gettleman resigns this year and Judge lasts two years, but it's only one game, but they did not look good along the offensive & defensive lines.

Skips been saying for a while that AD is merely good, not special like everyone says. I didn’t hear anything from him on the subject afterwards but it’s so ridiculous to try and defend a statement like that anyway.

Cooking for one this week because my GF is on nights. No idea what to make but the ribs last week were absolutely banging.

Might cheat and order a pizza.

The Herd turning into one of my favorite sports talking heads.

I hear you, I've followed him for a good 9-10 years and he's usually decently spot on for a big talking head but sometimes he just says some absolute nonsense and gets on a rant for a bit with it. Especially more in the last 1-2 years.

It's 15 more games. If he can keep that level through out. it will be a nice cherry on top. Fingers crossed. Go rams.

Hmmm let's see on another block on a run he pulls and totally whiffs but the run is successful regardless. On another he gets blown off the LOS but again the run is successful because the RB changes gaps. If you subscribe to the Kromer way of grading I suppose he played a good game. You offer his double-teaming as examples of his good plays? He wasn't even the primary blocker on those plays. On pass plays, he is routinely walked back into Goff but Jared's quick throws saves the play. PFF calls that a good block, I call it a speed bump block.

The hit on Jared is exactly what I've been warning about. Goff is the one guy they can't afford to lose. I specifically warned he's vulnerable to stunts and this was a perfect example of it. The Eagles have a good front 7. The o-line needs to be sharp next week.

Some of the double teams it was the guy over him they were doubling other times not.
I wasn’t saying he was great on double teams I said the double teams worked well and in most cases the RB was running off the double team.
Not sure what your hard on is with Blythe but he was solid.
And also, the Rams don’t have any other options that are better at this point.
Most of the passes were quick design throws.
I hope Goff has developed some hall of fame level of pre snap reading or the ability to go through his options in under 2 seconds but I doubt it.
It was a good game plan that was executed well for the most part.
This includes Goff, the receivers and blockers.
Enjoy it.

Noteboom just looks out of place--looks like we have a tall TE trying to play G.

Sometimes coaches get too prideful that a guy they took in the second round is getting beat out by a 6th or 7th round pick. It's what gets coaches fired. Hopefully McVay is smart enough to see that.

I don't see Josh Reynold's clutch grab and run mentioned enough.....

And that it was. Eluding that dude was nice. Especially on a third down.

Worth mentioning here.

We were mediocre last season and lost two of our best defenders so there is that.

On the other hand defense is a lot about scheme. Looking forward to seeing what Staley brings.

Any word on Everett?

This game was so painful to watch.

Heres one you may appreciate more - https://defector.com/why-your-team-sucks-2020-arizona-cardinals/ Ver batim " the Cardinals went one step further in March when they traded what’s left of David Johnson to a deeply confused Bill O’Brien in exchange for DeAndre Hopkins, who never drops a pass. They didn’t even have to give up a first to do it. This is the kind of deal that your fantasy commissioner would have voided, but Goodell let it pass through unscathed. God, I can’t wait to do the Texans preview. Alas, I’m still stuck on this team. I feel like I’m visiting relatives I don’t want to visit. Very Arizona feeling. " Also - ":Larry Fitzgerald is still here. Color guys have been heaping lifetime achievement awards on Fitz for over a DECADE now. I’m sick to death of it. The man goes for 0.2 yards per reception every year, and yet I gotta act like he’s already retired and wearing a Canton jacket " ----Now, I love Larry Fitzgerald......but, so true.

Done.

And McCarthy was criticized for not going for it against Seattle in playoffs. Can’t win

I think it's gonna be the players. This staff is locked in. We just need the players to execute.

The OL has to grow and improve week to week or we won't be a playoff or serious contender. The defense needs to be good too, and if our OL is shaky it will need to be elite. And so on.

Right now we have some good and bad but hey we're 1-0 and I'm pretty stoked about that. Just gonna enjoy it for now.

There was a significant difference in what the Rams D surrendered in the first half and in the 2nd half.

In yardage, top, and points. I’ll leave the X’s and O’s to be explained by others more qualified. But it seems to me that Staley analyzed what Dallas was doing in the 1st half and made some darned effective adjustments at halftime.

The results speak for themselves. I think that this ability in a Coordinator is priceless. I further think that this is one of the reasons that McVay was so excited after the Staley hire.

I also think that if Staley can keep this up, he might have a very bright future.

According to PFF Akers was actually better after contact. Take that for what it’s worth. Get the rookie hesitation out of the way and we might see something awesome in the future.

Yeah and I think the Rams know it too. They're gonna keep rolling him out there and it's gonna be fun to watch.
