I can't believe JuJu got the same 1 game suspension as the Gronk.

That is fricking ridiculous.

Goodell is a joke

Just call him



Judge Goodell

It ain't Booger
It ain't Tony Corrente
It ain't Bill Vinovich
And it ain't Clete "excuse me while I fist-bump my favorite 49er" Blakeman, either.

So I'm good with this week's officiating crew.

Report: Eli Manning will start Sunday
Posted by Josh Alper on December 5, 2017

Giants co-owner John Mara insisted on Monday that the way Ben McAdoo handled the organizational decision to look at quarterbacks not named Eli Manning had nothing to do with the organizational decision to deactivate McAdoo’s key card with four games left in the season.

Mara did say that he was cognizant of how upset fans were about the decision and mentioned a desire to avoid an ugly scene at this Sunday’s game against the Cowboys related to Manning watching while Geno Smith plays, but said it was up to interim coach Steve Spagnuolo to make a call. It appears Spagnuolo has made the call and it’s unsurprisingly one that should placate the angry masses.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the team held meetings on Tuesday to set the game plan for this week and finalized the decision to move Manning back into the starting lineup. It will be the 211th start of Manning’s career, but the one-week break means he’ll be at the back of the list when it comes to consecutive starts.

Mara made it clear on Monday that he had signed off on a plan to give Smith and rookie Davis Webb playing time before McAdoo told Manning and made it public. The Giants’ hope was that Manning would start games before giving way to one of the other quarterbacks, but Manning balked at such an idea. It’s unclear if there will be any attempt to see what Webb can do in the final four weeks, although it’s hard to see what would have changed about the rationale Mara was on board with at this point last week.

Don't buy it. Tree will play Sunday.

I’m not counting on much from Quinn, anymore.

Yeah, he got 2 sacks vs the Cards. But Geez, both occurred when the QB just turned and ran right into his arms!

These were not the sacks we saw from the former and healthier Quinn.

I watch Quinn a lot these days. Honestly, he’s a JAG, anymore.

Ive got several Ram ornaments.
A Kurt Warner one to boot, haha.

what would this offense look like wig a healthy Dunbar or someone with the same capabilities? I know I might catch some flack for this, but I’m over Tavon at this point. Trade Home for whatever makes sense or just release him as soon as we can with the least cap implications.

Either target an FA next year or draft the next Kamara (spelling). Imagine this offense with this capability...

My draft as GM would focus next year on a future LT, a change of pace back, and Defense.

Just thinking about Sproles, Whitehead, Riddick, Kamara... makes me drool.

Ok, back to Corporate hell.

Its just too bad McVay doesn't trust Davis' blocking.

Agreed....what basis does he have to dispute the suspension?!? This is horseshit!

Well the first thing that came to mind when I heard the turd was going to fight it was "must be a big time game next week and they don't want him to miss it". But it's Miami. The Steelers are the following week and if he ends up sitting for that game it could end up costing them home field if they lose and end up with the same record.

Which by the way, is very likely since the rest of the games both of these teams have are a cakewalk. The Steelers have the Ravens but they have an inflated record IMO. That's a 5-7 team that's caught some lucky breaks.

So his dick move could hurt the team because there is a good chance it's for home field advantage.

Keep it jared ! You have destroyed my expectations for this season.

Goff's completion percentage is only 2% better than Wentz but he really got on Wentz about accuracy. Although I think Goff has more throw aways so adjusted that could be wider.

I don't know if he has more, but Goff is willing to throw the ball out of bounds if nothing is available. It's very smart and I don't know if he was loike that in college, maybe someone can weigh in on that. If he wasn't like that in college then good job on the coaches to get him to minimize risks.

speaking of who scores the most points generally wins...
i know what the score will be this week before the game even starts....lol

Please enlighten us as to the score!!

As a Side-Note; The Odds have Flipped, the Rams where 1 1/2 point Dogs, they are now 2 point favorites!! But there is still no Over/Under posted!

Fantastic and sums up a lot of what many fans are feeling. So nice, that fresh air.
The comment about the sun on the helmets. It's why I love the old 80's yellow horns on the dark blue. Man those things would pop in the sun. Such a clear memory. Walking in a Rams day game for the first time. My eyes settled right in Everett throwing a warmup pass to Pete Holohan. Those yellow horns just popping in the sun.
"If you don't invest very much defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning isent isent very exciting." Dick Vermeil.
Everyone practices hard and lifts weights etc.
I think Verneil is talking about caring, about emotions and buying in.
It seems McVay has that ability, to get guys to buy in. It's huge.

Thanks for the links, as usual!

If you're looking at SOS you should look at teams at the moment of playing rather than overall.

Overall the Cowboys are shit. When the Rams played them, they were not. If you look at only the overall record you're just missing the forest through the trees.

We are going to get Phillys best shot after their losing to the Hags. I think we can do it. I feel Phillys record is a bit of a paper tiger of sorts. JMHO. They are very balanced though. Wentz is still a stud in my eyes. Jared is too. But they are still learning. Gonna be an interesting game. Best defensive play wins the game.

hoping I can figure out how to add media link

Apparently we were so good they were speechless

Comparing our guys:

Mark Barron 6'2" 225 lbs.
Samson Ebukam 6'3" 240 lbs.
Bryce Hager 6'1" 237 lbs.
Alec Ogletree 6'2" 235 lbs.

Having seen Hager live yesterday, he looked small lined next to Barron.

Now, compare our backers to guys like:

Luke Kuechly (Panthers) 6'3", 235 lbs.
Bobby Wagner (Seahawks) 6'0", 241 lbs.
Deonne Bucannon (Cards) 6'1", 216 lbs.
Derrick Johnson (Chiefs) 6'3", 242 lbs.
Danny Trevathon (Broncos) 6'1", 231 lbs.

All are similar size compared to our guys. IMO, Ogletree and Barron have been able to use their speed to overcome their size. Sometimes it looks like they want to sidestep the blocker rather than step into the point of attack and close the gap/hole. When they sidestep the blocker, they expose the second level for big gains. I don't think we necessarily need a bigger body, rather someone who will step into the point of attack and close the hole/gap. Middle backers have the mentality of playing smash football. Remember Ogletree played outside until last season, and Barron played safety most of his career until coming to the Rams. They are still learning how to play between the tackles. I'm not saying they are the long-term solution to playing in the middle, and Wade will be able to get someone to will help with inside play next season.

Why was Walker pulled? Seems like they could have used his weight on D when we got gashed on the ground

Right? Look like Bro and Sis!

I saw Goff doing an awful lot of chatting with less than 15 seconds on the playclock.

Probably just letting everyone know how excited he is for Star Wars.
