Hol up, Bud Grant is still around???

I know this is the worst answer ever, but it depends.

WiFi signal is half duplex, meaning only one device can talk in one direction at a time. There's a lot of really complicated crap that goes on to smooth that out, but you're still limited to one device at a time. The exception to that is newer really fancy WiFi router that have multiple antennas and use multiple channels (or some such dark magic) simultaneously to allow more devices to talk at once.

So basically as soon as you get on WiFi your 40 Mbps connection is 20 Mbps. Add another device and it's 10 Mbps. Add a while family with phones, laptops, Xbox, smart TV, internet connected fridge, cloud managed dishwasher, etc and your getting pretty low.

If the fridge, dishwasher, or whatever is between a device and the WiFi router you have to contend with the signal passing through solid objects. It's not a huge deal at that scale, but it's a thing. There's legit concern that 5G signal won't work well in most homes because the signal will have trouble paying through the exterior walls of most houses (not to mention metal building or metal frame buildings which are basically Faraday cages). If that device is plugged in to a grounded circuit, it's not exactly a Faraday cage but it's a grounded metal screen between you and WiFi source. Turn that device on and now you have another source of electromagnetic signal between you and WiFi router. Interference is possible. Microwaves would be the biggest offender.

So depending on the layout of the house and which devices are around, yes. It may or may not be significantly impactful.

Info I never knew nor suspected. Thanks a lot!

Not really, they traded Chandler Jones and he was at the top of his game from what I can recall. Lawyer Milloy was a star player for them.
Deion Branch. Also Jaime Collins who they brought back for a few examples.

Thanks for the info but once these guys start having problems with concussions it seems like the beginning of the end of their careers

Will MNF produce NFL Game of the Year again?

It’s been a while since it felt like the Rams were a true underdog. Particularly in the regular season.

Going to New Orleans last year? Sure, the Saints were favored in that NFC Championship Game. But we knew the Rams could win it based on the comeback they made in New Orleans during the regular season. Plus, the top-seeded Saints weren’t exactly setting the world on fire last winter.

The 2019 Ravens, however? They’re gangbusters.

Baltimore has scored 30-plus points in four straight games, and 37-plus in their last three.

This must be what it felt like to face the Rams for the better part of the last two seasons.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot.

How Baltimore Is Built

By this point, you know the Ravens have the MVP front-runner and a historically good rushing attack. But here’s a bit more detail on how they go about it, since the Rams have not faced this version of the Greg Roman – Lamar Jackson scheme.

First, they’re in the pistol more and under center less than any team in the NFL. Second, if you thought Sean McVay used pre-snap motion, wait until you see the Ravens for four quarters. They’ve taken offensive eye candy to the nth degree.

The good news for L.A. is the Rams defense is allowing 3.3 yards per rush this season, second-fewest in the NFL. Even more relevant to this matchup, they’ve been disciplined against pre-snap motion, allowing an NFL-low 2.9 yards per rush when opposing teams use it against them, according ESPN research.

Down and Distance

A couple other traits you’ll want to know when the Ravens offense is on the field: they’re superb on early downs and lethal on fourth down.

Per a Pro Football Focus deep-dive this week, Baltimore moves the chains on first-and-second down more often than any offense in the league. So, while they rarely find themselves in third down, much less fourth down, John Harbaugh has suddenly developed a reputation as one of the most data-driven decision makers in the NFL. As a result, no team has converted more 4th down attempts than the Ravens.

This may sound like stating the obvious, but for the Rams to find success defensively, they have to knock the Ravens off schedule on first down, in the hopes of eventually putting them in “fourth-and-too-much-to-go-for-it.”

Eagle [Raven?] Scout

Not that it’s any surprise when a practice squad quarterback runs the scout team offense, but it did feel noteworthy when Sean McVay answered a query about who would play the role of Lamar Jackson this week.
John Wolford, of course.

Didn’t you see what he did to the Texans in late August?

Even better, Wolford actually has bragging rights, having outdueled Jackson in their college days (h/t Conor O’Neill). In October 2017, the record-setting Wake Forest quarterback orchestrated a 42-32 win over Louisville by passing for 461 yards, accounting for six total touchdowns, against just six incompletions.

So after a few days of getting carved up by the Wolford of Wall Street, the Rams defense will undoubtedly enjoy a sense of relief when it’s only the MVP front-runner across the line of scrimmage.

ESPY Repeat?

Unlike the 2018 Game of the Year, the Ravens and Rams may not combine for 54 points on Monday Night.
Why?

Since Week Seven, Baltimore and Los Angeles are the top two defenses in the league in defensive efficiency and points allowed. Neither has surrendered more than 20 points in five straight games, since October 3. That’s the Ravens longest such streak since six consecutive in 2010. Similarly for the Rams, who have not done six in a row since 1999.

The Old Todd

In last week’s win over Chicago, the Rams went with designed runs on 62% of plays, their highest rate in the last two years. And those plays were successful, much to the delight of Todd Gurley, in part because of a season-best 81 yards rushing before first contact, according to ESPN Research.

With a more robust receiving corps at his disposal in Week 12, and some confidence in that retooled offensive line, it will be fascinating to see McVay’s blend of play selections.

Against the Ravens, the Rams may not have as much time and score circumstances in their favor throughout Monday Night Football, as they did on Sunday Night Football a week prior.

Steep Climb

Here are the Rams remaining opponents' offensive rating, courtesy of Football Outsiders:

BAL - 3
ARI - 9
SEA - 4
DAL - 1
SF - 16

So, yeah, L.A. is going to have to score some points before the New Year if they intend to play in January.

Quarterback Quartets

Another way of making the same point: Over the past four games, the Rams first-team defense has held offenses quarterbacked by Matt Ryan, Andy Dalton, Mason Rudolph, and Mitchell Trubisky to 30 points…combined.

Over the next four weeks, however, they'll face a quartet that figures to stress them a bit more (and differently): Jackson, Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and Dak Prescott. Those signal-callers are currently third, tenth, first, and second in QBR.

Showdown in the Slot

It’s been an interesting couple weeks for Cooper Kupp, who in Pittsburgh was held without a catch in a game he finished, for the first time in his career. Then, after a bout with an illness between games, he served as a lead blocker for most of the win over Chicago, momentarily breaking out of that role to catch a 50-yard pass that was nearly a touchdown/touchback.

Anyway, I digress.

Kupp has 584 receiving yards from the slot this season, tied with Seattle’s Tyler Lockett for most in the NFL. Pair that with the Ravens allowing over 100 yards per game to slot receivers, and the Rams may have a matchup to exploit.

The question becomes, will Kupp see Marlon Humphrey (PFF 24) or Jimmy Smith? Or, is it possible that his biggest fan, Marcus Peters, could ask for the assignment?

Great story.
I completely enjoyed reading it.

Thanks man. It was a good time. Keep in mind it was a year before 9/11. My dad and I would get there early and talk to the players, and I would even roam the outfield during batting practice and shag balls. It was actually pretty lax.

After 9/11 it got really tight. They checked out IDs more, and cut off most of our contact with the players.

But that same series in 2000 when I thought I got pretty tight, talking Rams with JT Snow, I had a kid approach me from the stands with a ball and ask me if I would have Snow sign it.

The game had already started and I initially said “no. I can’t talk to the players during the game.”

Then, like an idiot, I relented and grabbed the ball and sharpie from the kid. “I’ll see what I can do”. It was i night game in SF, so, freezing, and I was wearing an ugly, smelly Giants jacket. I squirreled the ball away in my jacket.

Well, at the end of one inning I was standing near first base talking to the ump, and JT was the first guy out of the dugout. The other infielders were still grabbing their gear, and JT was waiting. I thought I had a window. Then, I pulled the ball and pen out of my pocket said the dumbest thing of my life:

Farr Be It: Hey JT, would you sign a ball for this kid up in the stands?

(the moment it left my lips, I knew it was insane. I was asking a player, DURING A GAME, to sign a ball for a fan.)
-Gulp-

JT Snow: Man, get out of here! Are you serious?! I’m playing a game. (Shakes head and mutters, ‘what a dick!’)

Farr Be It: (now in full retreat and panic mode shoving the ball into his jacket) sorry man! I’m sorry! (Walks back to his little ball-dude stool humiliated, pulls the ball back out) Here kid....I told you they can’t sign after the game starts! (Really that scolding is not directed at the kid but at myself)

That incident was probably the only dark cloud in an otherwise Field of Dreams- like experience. But even that had a bit of redemption. I approached JT again after the game and apologized, and he seemed to not be so upset.

“It’s ok. No worries” he said. And I felt a bit better. Maybe he remembered all the things I said about watching his dad when I was a kid, and how I used to be Jack Snow playing out in the street.

Or maybe he just walked away muttering, “What a loser...”

I'm in favor of giving almost everyone at least one second chance. It was out of line but Garrett was not solely at fault.

It was not worse or even as bad as several targeted tackles with force to the head on wide receivers I've seen this year, which is my exception to the second chance principle. If I were Goodell I would put an immediate stop to that by whatever means necessary.

In this case I think the NFL is more concerned about how it looks on tv than with the actual incident.

I would suspend him but not for the whole season. Next time or another time after that is a different story.

I agree with all that, although i think he should get 16 games(full season) to set the precedent that if you use your helmet as a weapon you get 1 year automatic. It sounds heavy but Rudolph was lucky in this situation. An incident like this simply can't be allowed to happen again.

No Excuses for Jared Goff.

Good to know.
Just so all Rams fans are in lockstep, we now will not be accepting excuses from Jared Goff. If a dog ate his playbook, not our problem!
If Godzilla stomps his way through Santa Monica pier and then joins the Ravens defense, it's tough shit for Jared. Because no excuses. None. Excuses? Nope.

Ok, but seriously, just between us, if our line does not protect him well and if our offensive game plan sucks and does not give our QB much of a chance, then I am still going to give him an "excuse".
I know. I am too soft on these maggots.

Ranking the NFL's 10 most improved defenses: Why you might be surprised

The anatomy of a defensive improvement can have many different roots, because defense is less predictive from year to year than offense is. Defense can be driven by high turnover rates. It can be improved by players, by new schemes, by better fits. New coaches can bring in all of the above. Player health can be a big portion of the improvement. There's just a lot of ways for a defense to improve or decline in one year.

All you need to know about defensive improvement in the NFL can be summed up in the New England Patriots. They were our 31st-ranked defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) defense in 2017. They were 16th in 2018. And now they are No. 1.

1. New England Patriots

2019: -32.1% (1)
2018: 0.4% (16)
Gain: -32.5%

Stephon Gilmore and J.C. Jackson started to emerge as a tandem last season. Jackson was on fire throughout the playoffs, and the Patriots allowed negative pass defense DVOA in four of their last five games. (Negative DVOA is good for defenses, because it means less scoring.)

The Patriots have simply upped the overall aggressiveness of their defense, bumping the blitz rate to 35.5% from 30.9%, and they feel they have the ability to play man-to-man and not get beat.

The only major addition this offseason was free agent Jamie Collins, who didn't even cost the team a compensation pick to bring back after wearing out his welcome in Cleveland. In fact, the Patriots lost their best 2018 pass-rusher, Trey Flowers, to free agency. It hasn't mattered at all. Collins leads the team in sacks, and former undrafted free agent defensive tackle Adam Butler is tied for second. The Patriots and Baltimore Ravens look to be trailblazers in several ways in the current NFL -- chief among those is getting more and more aggressive with more and better quality defensive backs.

Looking ahead: New England's defense hasn't shown any real signs of slowing down yet. They even made some solid in-game adjustments on Lamar Jackson's Ravens.

2. San Francisco 49ers

2019: -25.1% (2)
2018: 5.7% (23)
Gain: -30.8%

The 49ers mostly have improved by improving the talent. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh didn't have a true edge rusher last season, now he has Nick Bosaand Dee Ford. San Francisco's pressure rate of 34.2% (per SportsRadar data) leads the NFL by almost four whole percentage points. Second-place Pittsburgh is closer to ninth-place Chicago than it is to San Francisco.

A less-heralded secondary outside of Richard Sherman -- as well as Kwon Alexander, who is out with a torn pectoral -- might take a little air out of the tires here, but this has been quite the turnaround from one of last season's more forgettable squads.

Looking ahead: As long as the pass rush continues to succeed, this will be as good a unit as there is in the NFL.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

2019: -12.2% (3)
2018: -0.9% (13)
Gain: -11.3%

This is really about the trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Since the Steelers brought him in, they've had a negative defensive DVOA in every game. The highest single-game pass defense DVOA allowed was last week against the Browns, at 20.3%. In 2018, the Steelers had eight games in which they allowed positive DVOA to an offense.

The Steelers were a good pressure defense last year, and they even did a good job of limiting yards after catch. But it has been the coverage that has improved and put them as one of our top three defenses through 11 weeks.

Looking ahead: Pittsburgh appears likely to keep this up, though it is worth noting they have played a really easy schedule of offensive opponents and will continue to do so until Week 14 against Arizona.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2019: 4.5% (22)
2018: 14.8% (32)
Gain: -10.3%

Intriguingly, this is almost all driven by a huge change in run defense DVOA. The Bucs have, by far, the best run defense DVOA in the NFL at -35.0%. Last season, they were at 3.0%, which was the second worst in the NFL. The Bucs overhauled defensive schemes in bringing in Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles.

Bowles has run an aggressive pass defense, blitzing at a 47.7% rate on dropbacks that has almost doubled the rate Tampa ran last season. Of course, that has barely touched their bottom-line pass defense DVOA, but their coverage players haven't been very good, and Vernon Hargreaves was actually released. Vita Vea deserves a lot of praise for his role in buffing this run defense.

Looking ahead: The run defense appears here to stay. Now the question is whether moving on from Hargreaves and some turnover in the secondary can help the pass defense to get better.

5. Kansas City Chiefs

2019: -2.7% (12)
2018: 6.9% (26)
Gain: -9.6%

The Chiefs are the opposite-world Bucs: They have improved one of the league's worst run defenses by only the slightest amount. They've gone from 32nd in run defense DVOA last year to 31st this season.

All of the improvement has come from a better pass defense. Nobody else is really in the league of San Francisco or New England as a pass defense this year, but Kansas City is in fourth place, right on Baltimore's heels for third. The Chiefs haven't allowed more than a 15.4% single-game pass defense DVOA since Week 1 against the Jaguars. While they have 32 sacks, the Chiefs have one of the lowest pressure rates -- 27th, per Sports Info Solutions data -- some indication that with better play from Frank Clark and a healthy Chris Jones they still might have some untapped upside.

Looking ahead: The Chiefs seem likely to remain a solid pass defense for the rest of the season, but they've shown no real indications that they're getting any better at stopping the run. They have faced one of the hardest schedules for a defense in the NFL this season, with their average opponent having a 6.3% offensive DVOA, which is fourth highest in the league.

6. Green Bay Packers

2019: 2.1% (18)
2018: 10.1% (29)
Gain: -8.0%

The Packers are another team that has mostly improved only as a pass defense, as they went from a 20.1% pass defense DVOA in 2018 (28th) to a 3.1% pass defense DVOA in 2019 (16th). Green Bay actually has lost some luster over the past few weeks, with the Raiders, Chargers and Panthers all putting up big scores on them. Before that, the Packers had started the year with five of their six single-game DVOA scores in double-digit negative numbers.

This is, obviously, a lot about better personnel. The Packers spent heavily on Adrian Amos, Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith this year, and the latter two already have combined for 18.5 sacks. Jaire Alexander has made a big performance leap, and rookie Darnell Savage has flashed some special skills when healthy.

Looking ahead: The Packers appear to have a defense that can hang with good teams; however, as with the Chiefs, there's really no reason to believe the run defense will get better. And like the Chiefs, they've played a tough schedule of offensive opponents that has masked their improvement. Their average opponent has a 6.4% offensive DVOA, third highest.

7. New York Jets

2019: -4.0% (11)
2018: 3.3% (21)
Gain: -7.3%

This year, the Jets have taken the leap from solid run defense to elite, as they currently are second in the NFL with a minus-27.3% DVOA while defending the run. Last year, they were only at minus-3.9% (21st). Their run defense was a big factor in their upset of the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season, perhaps one of a few good memories Jets fans have had this season. Steve McLendon is doing work this year. Imagine if the Jets could keep a middle linebacker healthy.

New York's pass defense DVOA actually has gone up a bit; boy, that Trumaine Johnson contract sure wound up being silly, huh? The only negative (that is, better than average) pass defense DVOA games the Jets have generated this year have been against Buffalo and Washington and during the second New England game, in which they were down 20-0 before they could even blink.

Looking ahead: It is worth noting that the Jets have played a fairly easy schedule and haven't had the sort of talent investment that would make you think this will be something that continues going forward. It also is worth noting that Gregg Williams' defense with the Browns last year was 25th in run defense DVOA allowed .

8. Philadelphia Eagles

2019: -7.2% (6)
2018: 0.0% (15)
Gain: -7.2%

It's a modest improvement, but the Eagles have gone from a 6.7% pass defense DVOA last year (15th) to -0.5% pass defense DVOA this year (12th). They've blitzed a bit more than they used to under Jim Schwartz, currently at 27.2% per SportsRadar, as compared to a league-low 16.0% in 2018.

After getting torched by Case Keenum's Washington outfit in Week 1, the Eagles have allowed just two other teams to hang a positive pass defense DVOA on them: Detroit in Week 3 and Minnesota in Week 6. The cornerbacks are still not elite, but the additional pass rush has largely mitigated some issues.

Looking ahead: Philadelphia has had the league's most variable defense this year, a figure that is largely driven by games like their pummeling of Luke Falk in Week 4. That could lead to this improvement being a bit of a mirage, though we think the extra blitzing will help in the long run.

9. Los Angeles Rams

2019: -6.7% (8)
2018: 0.5% (18)
Gain: -7.2%

A Wade Phillips unit that can stop the run! That's what we have here. The Rams are third in run defense DVOA, at minus-22.9% DVOA. Last year, they were at 1.1% DVOA in that area, 27th in the NFL.

Los Angeles hasn't actually changed up most of its front seven personnel; Clay Matthews is new, and Dante Fowler Jr. is here for a full season. Ndamukong Suhis with Tampa Bay. But the most impactful move for the Rams' run defense has probably been acquiring Eric Weddle, who is second on the team in tackles and is thriving in Phillips' scheme.

The pass defense actually has declined a little bit, which is to be expected given the shuffling around of what essentially became a Marcus Peters-for-Jalen Ramsey swap, in addition to Aqib Talib and John Johnson missing significant time this season. The Rams still have shown plenty of high-upside games, with three pass defense DVOA single-game scores better than -24%. But they've also been torched by Seattle and Tampa Bay.

Looking ahead: Phillips' defenses haven't normally been this good against the run, and the Rams have played an average opponent offensive DVOA of -5.3%, 28th in the NFL. This could be a bit of a fluke.

10. Atlanta Falcons

2019: 7.7% (25)
2018: 13.3% (31)
Gain: -5.6%

So, this is a fun one because it's almost all based on the results of the past two weeks. The Falcons' defense was scorched-earth bad before the bye. It had allowed pass defense DVOA ratings above 36% in seven of Atlanta's first eight games. But since coming back from the bye, with Dan Quinn giving more playcalling power to his assistants, the Falcons have posted back-to-back games of minus-19.9% and minus-48.2% pass defense DVOA scores. They've sacked Kyle Allen and Drew Brees 11 times during the past two weeks, more sacks than they had over the first eight games of the season.

It was very easy to see a path for Quinn to be dismissed before the past two weeks. Now, on the upswing and with the potential of a solid defense, maybe the Falcons will get hot enough to convince everyone to give him another year in charge.

Looking ahead: The Falcons are always out to tease us, but there are real reasons to believe that the playcalling and coverage have improved coming out of the bye week. We're more encouraged by this than we are the random six-week stretch of good play they sometimes put together.

Colts at Texans final score: Houston takes control of AFC South led by the return of Will Fuller

Texans 20, Colts 17

The 7-4 Houston Texans retook the lead in the AFC South on Thursday night to open up Week 12 when they defeated the 6-5 Indianapolis Colts, 20-17. It was a close matchup all the way to the end, but the big plays the Texans created on the offensive side of the ball was what gave them the winning edge.

Houston's wideouts ran wild against Indianapolis' secondary, as Will Fuller caught seven passes for 140 yards and DeAndre Hopkins caught six passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns. On the other side, the Colts never really got anything going through the air, but they were effective on the ground. They turned 39 rushes into 175 yards, but the Texans' defense stepped up in the fourth quarter to stop a potential game-winning drive.

The battle for the AFC South is nowhere near over, but the Texans made a statement by rebounding after an embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week and retaking first place in the division. Jump in below to our live blog to catch up with in-depth analysis, highlights, and more from the game. Check back here soon as we will break the game down further with key takeaways.

Why the Texans won

It wasn't pretty, and Deshaun Watson certainly didn't play one of his best games, but the Texans utilized a few big plays to gut out a win on Thursday night. Fuller was playing in his first game since the Texans lost to the Colts in Week 7, and he caught two huge bombs from Watson, one for 44 yards and the other for 51. Per NFL Next Gen Stats,Watson posted three of his four longest completions in terms of air distance in this game. His 51-yard pass to Fuller covered 59.4 yards in the air, the 44-yard pass to Fuller covered 49.3 yards in the air and Watson's 35-yard touchdown to Hopkins in the second quarter traveled 49.5 yards in the air. Watson finished with 298 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He was inconsistent and missed some throws, but connected on a few dimes downfield that really made the difference in this game.

Why the Colts lost

While the Texans created several big plays in the passing game, the Colts lost because they were unable to get any big plays from the passing game. Jacoby Brissett recorded a career-high 126.7 passer rating when he played the Texans last month, but he completed 16 of 25 passes for just 129 yards on Thursday night. The lead receiver was tight end Eric Ebron, who caught four passes for 44 yards. T.Y. Hilton, who was operating on a pitch count due to a calf injury, caught three passes for just 18 yards and dropped a couple of big passes which could have affected the outcome of the game. The Colts were great when it came to moving the ball on the ground -- Jonathan Williams had 104 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and Nyheim Hines had 51 yards on nine carries -- but there's a point in the game where you're forced to throw it. Indianapolis ran a 10-play, 36-yard drive that took 4:39 off the clock when they were losing by three points late in the fourth quarter. Once the Texans finally stuffed the run, the Colts couldn't move the chains through the air and that was pretty much the ball game. Brissett is a good quarterback, but the play calls were very vanilla on Thursday night.

Turning Point

On that 10-play, 36-yard drive that took up more than four minutes off the clock, it sure seemed like the Colts were going to run the ball down the Texans' throat and score a game-winning touchdown late in the game. After all, the Colts scored a touchdown in the third quarter to cap off an 11-play, 66-yard drive that included just one pass. After the Colts picked up their second first down of the drive, the Texans' defense finally stepped up and stuffed the run. Hines picked up just three yards on first and second down, Watson's pass fell incomplete on third down and then he was stopped short after trying to convert the first down with his feet on fourth and seven. There was still 2:49 left on the clock, but it became clear that the Texans' defense had just won the game.

I was surprised to look and see that this game is pick-em in the Vegas odds I looked at...I fully expected, even at home, that the Rams would be at least 5 or 6 point 'dogs...

Who's burning Peters? Everyone. Just because they can.

Nice! I sure wish I could hear that Rams radio feed during games instead of the drivel I get from the network TV crews.

Cannot play conservative this week or the game will get out of hand fairly quickly.

I hope we win all. But theres also a chance that we can end up 11-5 or 10-6 and miss the big dance altogether which really sucks. Now if we go 12-4 we make it guaranteed. Thats only 6 wins. We got this!!
