I expect to see him playing more snaps on defense with Talib out.

At least we no longer have to listen to Jon Gruden kissing everyone's behind on every MNF broadcast. This is a good reason to root for the Raiders because if Mark Davis fires him early he might return to his old job.

Did anyone else hear one of the announcers call us the "Lambs" early in the game? I thought I heard it, but maybe the announcer just got tongue-tied.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they worked in that SOSAR mess, too.

Announcers have been pretty shameless in slamming our Rams including last year when we were really good.

I'm so used to it, I've tuned it out and so I didn't even catch that.

Not remotely surprised, tho.

Unfortunately, even though he could be medically cleared, NO team is going to run the risk of Sted getting a bad concussion for fear it could be fatal. That’s just the reality of the situation. He was shot in the head. There’s no mitigation of risk involved with that for an NFL team.

IMO of course.

I was at the game and Ficken actually missed the FG twice in a row. The first time the Chargers had called time out just before the snap, but Kupp got it down and Ficken missed "wide left". After the TO he over compensated and missed again "wide right".

Ficken hasn't shown he's very dependable.

Ok, I might regret saying that in a few hours, but I am starting to wonder if this Vikings team is really as good as we thought they would be before the season.
When you look at their first three games it's actually pretty unconvincing. They had trouble beating a not so great 49ers team, then tied against Green Bay who also showed flaws and then completely crumbled against Buffalo

And I see people saying "Buffalo was an accident, it happens", but I disagree, this doesn't happen. You don't accidentally get your ass handed to you at home by a team who looked completetly lost so far, has a completely raw rookie QB, lost their two first games by a combined 55 points. I mean they had a player retire at half time, that's how bad the Bills were, and everyone had them at #32. That same team put the Vikings to shame, they didn't beat them by 3 points like the Browns could have beaten the Steelers, no, the game was over at half time. I honestly don't remember the last time I saw an upset like that in the NFL in a non divisional game.

So I am not craping my pants for the game tonight, I think the Vikings have way more reasons to be scared than we do.

Control the LOS. Run Gurley early, get first downs. Control the clock. Pressure Cousins. Keep TE Kyle Rudolph under control. Chargers A Gates is slow as molases but still got yds, recepts vs Rams. Vikes are going to go to their TE's A LOT.

It's all good yeah mm was the worst in the league on their defense. and yeah I do remember Lovie Smith the worst Personnel movie they made with that defense was getting rid of London Fletcher. I guess they felt they needed more speed but still. Now that man's going to the Hall of Fame and in my opinion should have been a Ram for life

Yeah, that was one blanking horrible decision. I think Fletcher started like 14 years straight...some crazy, Merlin Olsen-like, iron man numbers. Not bad for a UDFA...

Don't forget that sometimes when scrolling on the phone, it's easy to accidentally tap the wrong reaction button. Which I'd bet is what happened there, because it's far from an inappropriate post.

It's easy to change a rating..I do it often because my fingers don't always do what mind tells them to do. Just seems careless to me that after doing a rating that you don't see that it's correct. "Inappropriate" triggers reviews by MODS, I believe...

Booger has been good to the Rams

I’m missing Hochuli

Best lines

Kansas City Chiefs

Once the weather gets cold, that defense is gonna get exposed. At least Andy Reid will be warm.

New England Cheatriots

They are just as lifeless as Bill Bellichick's face.

The Rams have no depth??? Proof these guys don't know jack about the Rams

CC nailed it in my opinion.

Haven’t watched the Vikings much yet this year but found this stat interesting. I do believe that scoring percentage will go down even further after Thursday night, even with back up CB’s in place.

LARams_1963 said:

Yeah, the D-line needs to live up to their billing. Right now they surely aren't. 27th against the run and giving up an insane 5 yds a carry. Of course the LB's own part of that stat also. I don't really care what some PFF guy with a slide rule says about AD's impact. as far as stops, tackles, sacks and hits...I'm not seeing it. With our lockdown corners sidelined I'm sure we will see more blitzes and exotic packages from Wade. Hopefully they D-line will open the flood gates Thursday night.

We really need Mark Barron back. with him and Littleton on the inside I think the run D will be improved.

in my opinion the LBs and the secondary own the insane 5yds per carry. I see teams running away from AD and Suh while double teaming Brockers. That's on the LBs and safety to make a play. Also please remind those guys to tackle first before going for the strip. Barron would make such a big difference, we would see less of MC.

Already posted.

I dont think Gurley was particularly in the mood to talk to the media. He wanted to get recharged right away. He also said that he does not like Thursday night games, but there is a game to play

I'm gonna be pumped to see the Throwbacks on Thursday night,

if Wade wears the hat, it will be incredibly AWESOME!!!!

Yeah, it looks like it happened on the kickoff return with 3:05 left in the first half, score 21-13.

He was holding out his left hand trying to keep players away. Then he got grabbed and spun around hard and landed on his left side with a couple players on top of him, so somehere in that sequence is when he injured it.

3rd quarter Charger kickoff is when Countess was out there and the announcers mentioned JoJo's hand injury.

Thanks - I need to re-watch the game

I think we play better on the road anyway, so...

Safer anyway...Maybe Kroenke could pay some overtime and get the Inglewood Palace open in 2019?

RIP Tommy a great Ram and great pic @tempests With no face mask
