Media Fallout: Rams Positioned for Playoffs

I'm pretty sure he scored 2 tds against the Rams in that epic 2018 mnf game. He's always been able to make plays for whatever team he's played for over the years.

.
I don't know if there's a better group of 3 receivers than Kupp, Puka and Robinson. Tutu Atwell is becoming an afterthought. Next year is the final year of his contract. He's gonna have to really step up if he wants to be part of the future plans. Stafford has to trust his receivers and it seems he trusts Robinson more than he did Tutu.

CELEBRATE !! Celebration thread pissing in gumbo edition

I've finished watching the game and the late rally by New Orleans, following the same thing by the Commodes last week, is really worrisome. It isn't good to get complacent and think that the game is over- you play hard until the last play of the game.

The other thing that stood out is what a difference a true lockdown corner and a legit pass rusher opposite Young would make to this defence. There are loads of Round One prospects in the 2024 draft at both positions, so we should snag the best CB or Edge available in the first round and then hope that a good one drops to our second pick. There are several excellent safeties entering free agency, so securing one of them and locking up Dotson would be my main FA priorities.

One thing's for certain- nobody is going to want to face us in this year's playoffs, if we get there, and we could well be an elite team next year.
I agree on corner and Edge being priorities 1A-1B.

The draft is lacking in safeties so, like you said, a free agent would be best.

You are right on the money.

Get ready for "All In 2.0"

Just thinking about the "all-in" concept for *this* offseason when it comes to bringing in some top-end FA talent..

One significant reason to go big with FA this offseason is to reset your compensation picks. Do it once.. go big.. and have a clean slate to take in comp picks in coming seasons because you won't be signing FAs, hopefully.

What that means is you'll keep your picks, instead of trading them for premium players, at least for this offseason.. and it gives you the flexibility to make a big trade down the road without gutting your draft capital.

If you draft well.. you get into that cycle where, yes, you'll lose FAs.. but you'll be getting back comp picks to try and re-set or save value.

If you spend big on Edge and maybe even a corner.. you've (hopefully) addressed your premium positions for a couple of seasons. You fill in with draft picks at that point.

Just stream of consciousness stuff about this coming offseason.

I'm excited.. the offense is fixed and they have resources to keep it all together and maybe even add depth on the line, at RB and WR.

Gotta throw premium picks and money at that defense, though.

Snaps vs NO

This was the first game Durant showed any physicality and I was glad to see it. But that's his biggest weakness.. literally, being weak.

And.. I was in the Dotson camp from the minute they traded for him.. Pitt had him out of position.
Yea I wasn’t talking about any poster in particular. I can’t remember who posts what and have no desire to dig stuff up.

I just find it funny when our opinions regarding players get criticized because the coaches supposedly always know best and never make mistakes with personel.

Everyone has an opinion and I think the reference to authority is a weak one to make even if it is convenient.

GAME DAY TNF - Saints at Rams | Game Day Thread

But twice? I agree with your sentiment. It would be much more rewarding to earn our way in with wins. But at this point, it doesn't matter to much to me how we get in. Just get in. And do some damage there.
I hear ya, the best way to get in is if things fall our way and we don't need to win the last game. The most rewarding is if we beat up the niners, smack their stars around a little and bust into the playoffs on a serious high. The next best thing is if they sit their players and we win and get it. If that's what it takes to get in I'm all for it. The playoffs are the goal

The ultimate would be the whiners lose to Baltimore and need to win the last two to clinch the #1 seed and a bye. We are playing for a wild card. We knock them off, we make the playoff and knock them out of the #1 seed and they lose their round 1 bye.

There's a lot of ways it could go. We are a very dangerous team now, the whiners might not want us to make the playoffs and they might not want to risk losing their momentum and enter the playoffs flat. That's why I said I don't know if they would rest their starters or not.

They may prefer to rest their injured players vs Baltimore from the AFC.

Playoffs or bust, we need to get in and i'll take it however we can get it.

Bye Bye Brandon "Fired"

I’m in the same lane as @JimY53 on Staley and have said as much for the last year or so.. I just wonder if he was ahead of the curve.

That being said.. maybe HC was just too much for him.. and that his LEADERSHIP… not his actual coaching/scheme was the issue.

Who knows? I mean.. look at Flores D in Minny.. maybe a pissed off Staley with something to prove would work.

I’d still take Evero.

Is the offensive line… good?

Great posts. I have enjoyed your conversation, but wonder whether we need to spend that kind of money on FA [outside of signing our own, such as Dotson and Shelton]? We proved this year the value of patience in FA including signing players after the draft. One thing is for certain, the draft looks promising. Importantly, the positions where we need the most help appear stacked across the top 75 to 100 players.


I favour being at least somewhat conservative so that we can open up a 5 to 6-year window beyond this so far great - exciting! - season. I would include the possibility of trading picks for players but FA is pretty deep at positions such as Edge OT Guard Center


$65 million is a lot of money to put on the books. My question is, do we need to spend anywhere near that much to open up a long window of contending in the NFC?
I just don't see a 5-6 year window being the thing. I think it's 2-3.
But, I get your perspective.

Me, I'm all-in this offseason.

QB School: Matthew Stafford

Stafford is my favorite Rams QB ever and its not even all that close tbh.

The coaching of all the young guys to keep this team competitive has been deserving of all the praise going their way....
...but without #9 giving us MVP caliber QB play, this roster probably doesn't sniff .500 imo.
Dude is not only the most talented QB we've ever had but also the coolest. My QB. :trophy:
