doh! :homer:

Still waiting for somebody to point out that McVay totally out coached Zimmer.

I dont think it has anything to do with "millenials" but the world they live in.

A buddy turned me on to Greta Van Fleet a few months ago. Haven't seen them live yet, but hope to catch them in the next year or two.

Thanks for posting these, BR -- Greta rocks!

That's nothing. I've been through worse. :death:

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. The GSOT offense did it for many years consistently. If our offense dominates each game like last night, then I'll entertain the idea that the offenses we're comparable. I know you're talking offenses, but our defense was far more elite for the GSOT days. We had great players at all levels (and they played excellent together).

They did it from 199-2001, that is 3 years. Significant drop off 2002-2004.
The O line is what keeps Goff producing....he is 'producing' at Kurt's level, but he won't be at Kurt's level until he can take the beating....also, Kurt had NO AUDIBLE's, and this hampered Martz's offense a lot....blitz's could not be picked up on many key 3rd downs.

I think you forgot the rams offensive line practices against guys like donald, suh, brockers. I'm sure it was nice to not have to face mack, bosa and griffen but ultimately I dont think it would have made a difference. The way the title states makes it seem like the rams wouldn't be 4-0 if those guys would have played.

My story same as OP's....In Florida my whole life where the Saints were shown on tv every week...as a kid in 1976 or so, caught a saints-Rams game on tv and was hooked...every week would check to see if Saints played the rams this week, and was disappointed all but 2 weeks!.

And then Sunday Ticket comes along....

I remember checking The Sporting News every week at the grocery store for Ram news....

Man , with the internet, the kids got it good!

True He was not playing the NT post when he got his two sacks. He lined up outside & went through the two RT's.

McVay said outside linebacker Dominique Easley could be out for some time. With his history of knee injuries, Easley is apparently having some complications related to everything he’s been through before.

“We're looking into it and this poor guy has been through a whole lot,” McVay said. “In terms of exactly what that means, you just look at how much his knee has been through, the amount of surgeries, the way that he has persevered through it. It might be something that if he has to get that thing cleaned up again, it will be a tough situation. We're still evaluating, but it's looking like it could be something that could keep him out for a while.”Easley had been productive after moving to the outside linebacker spot during training camp, drawing a pair of holding calls in Los Angeles’ first two games of the season.

Bummer.
Was looking forward to Easley finally getting to play and e productive, which I think he could have been.
He appears to be deadwood.....is Barron far behind?

But that's what I do!? So then, it's a mash up of words? A play on Mc, from McVay, plus bae, from lazy English for babe? Where did it start?

I respect so many of your prior posts that I'm going to ignore your calling my statements asinine.

I also disagree with your claim that I can't tell from watching the game, since I've been watching Rams football for almost 5 decades, and am absolutely certain that what I felt during the game, and what I confirmed afterwards, was a guy AVOIDING contact. I only broke down one play! Be thankful I didn't show the one where he grabbed a defender and held him to avoid tackling COUSINS! The QB!

However, if you want to continue to feel like I'm treating him unfairly, just ignore my various compliments on his play otherwise. You should also ignore my comments about hoping he overcomes this.

I don't think your pictures and cute little bubbles show what you are wanting to relay. I remember the play as I think he could have taken a better angle to head off the first down. What I saw however was him not wanting to go at the runner while taking a head on course with Christian - who was already bringing the runner down. You may think that it would have stopped the first down or showed you some sort of cowardice but I thought it was smart as I have seen numerous helmet to helmets from just that kind of play. But what I have a real problem with is you insinuating he was intentionally positioning himself to be blocked in order to not make a play.

Be thankful? Show all the plays you want. If you can actually demonstrate it, I'll tip my hat. But I watched the entire game and have been a Rams fan since '67 - so yeah - I've watched a bit of football over the years as well.

I mean hell - Joyner gave up about 7 yards repositioning himself so that he could make a more sure tackle on a TE. Giving up those yards quite possibly meant the TE didn't just run through him for a huge gain. It was rough to watch but it made sense what he did. And I think it would be stupid for Shields to risk himself and Christian when he was not in position to greatly affect the play. Live to fight another day. I remember one of the big knocks against McDonald was that he injured our own players by playing harder than smart. We now have mostly smart football players on our team. Shields is one of them.

I am hoping for 100 plus return receiving yards for Kupp.

Not the outcome you've hoped but an even better one

Come on guys. One game at a time.

Was a good clip.

Saw the clip from Undisputed and I swear Skip (what grown man allows himself to be called Skip?) is off any meds that might help him.

He thinks Goff is an unknown still and Dak Prescott is elite.

Maybe modern medicine can't treat that level of stupid.

Most impresseive thing about 158.3 perfect game is he threw more passes, 33 than any other QB who has pitch a perfect QB rating.

It is not a 158 where the guy threw 15 passes.

Akrasian said:

Since they would get a third round comp pick for him, that's the starting point - and since he'll play for them late in the season, and they still have some sort of playoff hopes, that has value.

I'm guessing a second, maybe with a low round pick going back.

I think that's close, but I can see it being a little less too because of his history.

He and his agent are stoooopid.

All three games are winnable. One thing's for sure: our head coach won't be an effin little bitc# like Zimmer and whine about win/loss rates of road teams.

Tighten that goddamn defense up and let's get to 7 and 0 through that road trip!

Xavier Rhodes usually can erase the best WRs. So, I think Cooks might have a 3-39 yards type of day. But, we do have other WRs. Rhodes is the best press corner...imlo

Rhodes reputation is deceiving. I recently read some stats and he really isn’t as good as he seems. He won’t shut down Cooks.

hotanez said:

I knew this secondary couldn't handle our WRs and Rhodes was killed by Cooks

Click to expand...

And with the benefit of hindsight: Cooks destroyed Rhodes. It wasn't even close. Dude basically held and hooked all game long and still couldn't contain him.

I knew Cooks was a great fit for this offense. But damn. He is better than I thought he was. No secondary can hang with our wideouts man. Only way to stop this offense is get to Goff quickly and consistently. And good luck with that.

We all loved ‘17, as well we should. But these Rams were just getting warmed up, it seems.

This ‘18 O version is producing on a par with those GSOT versions. I never thought I would see anything like that again, but here we are.

And this edition is built to last. The HC, GM, QB, RB, all 3 WR’s, and 3 of the OL players are young. I could easily see the O core being together for at least 10 more years.

Once again, this Ram team need not fear any shootout because they are now the best O in the league. And I think that they’re only gonna get better.

Great time to be a Ram fan, that’s for sure.

Give it up for Peters..... :bow::cheers: He was a trooper.

This post explains why guys like Brian Quick, Tavon Austin and Sammy Watkins moved on.

Reminds me of this....
