The most impressive thing about McVay , was that he was able to get all the Jeff Fisher crap out of Goffs head to begin with

I don't think there was much input by the Fisher Regime.

I always expect to give away a big run or two in the first quarter, that's kind of been or MO. But since Dallas we've shut down every runner we've been given (minus the few runs in the first quarter).

Well at least the Rams beat the Steelers in the SB with Tom Jarrett at QB, so there's that...

Patriots- avenging a loss while Belechick and Brady are still there holds more water

I will be watching this match up a lot on Sunday. Clowney has developed into what the hype said he would be...a potential game wrecker. However, he meets a physically gifted technician in Andrew Whitworth who is so sound and dominant. I am no coach, but I imagine if you want a young guy to learn how to play LT, you get game tape isolating on Andrew Whitworth.

Really think if Clowney wants to have a great game, he better line up somewhere else....

Thanks for your service bro and you can watch on a laptop over there! I can provide you the link i watch almost all our games on if its not nationally televised!

p.s. Leave those Korean chicks alone! lol I never been there myself but hearing stories they are pretty damn good to keep you company!

I keep noticing this. . . but does anyone else how broad Goff's shoulders and chest are. . . ? Shoulder to shoulder he really looks so broad. He is still very young as well.

I can honestly say that I've never noticed that...

In other news, this can't be true. Haven't you heard that Goff is too small with his tiny hands, baby arms, and twig like frame?

Looks like the Packers have realized how worthless this chump is.

Yes they are still top dog, but the lead is shrinking.

Man why am I forced to watch Indy get there ass handedness them by Pitt

Change is needed at the top. The NFL front office has no backbone. CBA needs to be re-evaluated.

That's a fair list glad Cooper got his

It's also the same team that beat our beloved Rams

This^ was ONLY because we kept them in the game with our 5 Turnovers!
That said, as a man who's been known to place a Bet or two! I would say If the Cards "D" steps-it-up, and AP can Pound-the Rock, and Keep the Hag's off the Field. The Cards could cover the 6 point spread, But I don't think they will Win!! But I want them to!!

LOL

"So what did you say to the team at halftime?"

"........." (A very awkward moment)

I loved his presser the next day even better. A reporter asked him, "What happened to the defense on that 52-yard pass completion?" His response: "Which 52-yard pass are you referring to...?"

It's for "Clutch" performer of the game. Goff was clutch, but taking a screen on 3rd and 33 and turning it into points when the game was close is insane. The entire O helped, but it was Woods who used his vision and speed (20.43mph) to reach the endzone. Its awfully nice to have a discussion over offensive players playing well.

I know this is too simple, but as long as the OL can keep Goff upright, they will win a lot of games. I just think it all comes down to that. Of course being able to run block becomes apart of that in terms of keeping defenses honest and keeping Goff clean.

Not sure if this will play outside of Blighty, if not feel free to delete.

Quite a bit on the Rams and Goff. Thought you might be interested.

NFL Midseason Report: Ten Biggest Stories of the 2017 Season So Far
By Peter King


HARRY HOW/GETTY IMAGES

The Rams are good, and maybe really good. The football story of the first half that surprised the most is Los Angeles being 6-2, with the past two wins by 33 and 34 points. Who goes from last in the league in scoring one year to first the next? These former Lambs.

Two of their toughest three games down the stretch are at home (Saints, Eagles, at Seahawks), and after globe-trotting the first half of the season, they stay in Pacific Time except for two Central Time games. The Rams are young and healthy and smart. They’ll be fun to watch in the next eight weekends.

MCVAY/MCDERMOTT BENEFIT FROM FOLLOWING FISHER/RYAN
I think the media is giving way too much credit to Sean McVay. Yes the Rams are doing great but I think the media is giving a pass to the most overrated head coach in NFL history: Jeff Fisher. This team had a lot of talent for quite some time but Jeff Fisher was holding them back with his old-school coaching and outdated play calling. For those of us that recognized how awful he was, the Rams’ 6-2 record is not a surprise.
—Paul F., Bowmanville, Ontario

I get that it was time to try a new approach with the Rams, and I get that people thought Jeff Fisher was a bad coach. I would point out, Paul, that the Rams won an average of 5.7 games a year over the past three years, and they’ve won six this year, with half the season left to play. Wondering who gets some credit for:

• The lowest-scoring offense in the league last year turning into the highest.

• A brutally misfiring quarterback, Jared Goff, raising his passer rating from 63.6 to 97.9, and his record from 0-7 to 6-2.

• The team being legitimately dangerous heading into the second half of the season.

But, Paul, you weren’t the only one to feel that way...

SORRY … I JUST REALLY DISAGREE WITH THIS
The Rams are better because they removed Jeff Fisher and the Bills are better because they removed Rex Ryan. That is worth two wins per season. Both were replaced with exciting coaches who bring new ideas to their teams and seem to utilize existing talent more than their predecessors. Fisher is 6-10 or 7-9 every year and Ryan was a talking distraction who seemed to believe the media hype was better than his record.
—Bryan H.

Two wins for changing coach. Okay. So the Rams were 4-12 last year, and they’re 6-2 with eight games left this year. Does the coach get any credit for the four or five or six wins in the second half of the season? Or who do you give that credit?

I got into it with an Eagles fan on FB. He was spouting off about how the Eagles put up 51 on one of the top 5 defenses in the league. I told him he needs to learn to read between the lines. Denver has the second highest number of giveaways. Which results in 2.4 short drives per game by opponents, which reduces the defenses total yards given up on the season. Then I threw in that they rank 24th in points given up. Which could also mean an inept offense, that can't move the ball often punts deep in their end, giving opponents great field position consistently, which shortens the field and amount of yards left to defend. I followed it up by asking the score of the Eagles Giants game.

Shut that boy down!

I swear, Eagles fans are the most ignorant Neanderthalic fan base in football. This guy stopped arguing, but in person he probably would have hit me. That is typical Eagles fandom.

When the Rams beat them in the 2001 Conference Championship, I went on the Eagles fan board with the name RamsfanlaughingHard saying better luck next time, blah blah blah. I swear, I got some pretty crazy responses. They really are crazy. Burn your house down crazy.
