Not sure its a huge advantage but they are allowing 6K....

I know this belongs in Seattle thread, but I wanted everyone to see this it's pretty hilarious.

Here we go.

(11-6) Rams vs (13-3) Packers in Lambeau field.
Saturday game 4:35 ET on Fox
Winner advances to NFC championship game

Listen fellow Rams fans, I have come to a realization. We have been given it all since McVay took over. All except a Lombardi anyways...

We have had a league best offense.

We current sport a league best defense.

We have had an elite special teams unit in every aspect other than returners.

This defense is special. It is fun to watch. It brings me great joy to see the camaderie that those guys have; the love for each other and the game that drives them. Selfless.

We, not me.

The struggles on offense (o-line) are due to the choices that were made in obtaining the talent needed to field a defense like this. Sacrifices have to be made somewhere. McVay knows that Jared is a pocket passer, but Jared is actually quite good at throwing on the run so McVay schemed it up.

Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, something hurt Jareds confidence which in turn made the offense anemic more often than not. Those turnovers were killer in the regular season.

Jared found something last night. Let's hope that whatever it was stays with him. Don't forget the young man that led us to a win against the chiefs on MNF....or the young man who led us to NFC champions against a really good saints team in enemy territory where the DB's were loud enough to make a dog vomit. He is still there.

Thankfully, the run game has found its stride. What we saw yesterday is the way to win a superbowl.

Remember when peeps were saying McVay was figured out? That he wouldn't/couldn't change his identity? That he gave up on the run too early? While that may be true to an extent at certain points in time...look at the team that played yesterday. McVay is an incredibly intelligent and humble man. He's the type to change with what's needed. We are soooo lucky peeps.

Here is my main point—let's just enjoy this playoff run. 3 out of 4 isn't bad peeps. Fans have short memories...let's live in the moment for now!

Offense


Defense

ST

Was gonna put this up tomorrow when all the rationalization will really start but this vid is great. Seattle fan tears from their ex-QB crying about how they didn't play well on offense like he could have done better lol. But the Rex comments are great and Teddy weighs in nicely too. Lots of love here for the Rams defense and some props to Goff:

Not sure if this has been posted or not but initial X-ray on Aaron Donald’s ribs showed no breaks (great news). He will undergo a MRI today.

It seems the O often lines up with little time on the clock and has to burn a timeout, this frustrates all of us. I'm sure I'm not the only person to notice many if not most NFL QBs wear a play sheet on their wristband. While I think it great Goff can repeat the playcall after McVay calls it in to him. But if the play is a long sequence, wouldnt it be quicker to just call in 2A3 and then Goff looks at the wristband and tells the O what play is listed on his wristband as 2A3? It may be that our playbook has so many variations of the same formation that the wristband would be like wearing an encyclopedia on his wrist. It just seems it would save a few seconds in the playcall sequence giving Goff a few more seconds at the LOS to see what the D is presenting so he can make the necessary adjustments without have to burn timeouts.

And I'm licking my chops if we do in fact play the Pack!

Why can’t the replay official or NY step in and tell the game officials it was a penalty?

That cheap shot shows the need for something like the college targeting rules.

Adams should have been ejected.

Good news first.

By tonight there will be only 8 teams left in the playoffs and Rams are one of them. Two more Ram wins and we’re back in the SB. And we all know that in the playoffs anything can happen in a short series.

We’ve got the best D in the playoffs and they seem to still be improving. That’s huge.

Cam Akers must really be healthy after all. Ram running game was crucial in that win over Seahawks.

Everybody knows that strong D’s and running games travel very well.

Ram ST are playing better although they still need to tighten up their coverage units.

In all, that’s quite a lot of substantial good news.

Now, the bad news.

It’s a shame that Rams must deploy either a starter with an injured thumb and possibly some confidence issues OR a youngster with a whopping 5 quarters of NFL experience AND literally just returning from the hospital. NOT the way any sane Coach or fan would draw it up, that’s for sure.

Also, there are a few new injury questions about key starters.

AD
Kupp
Hendy
Edwards

Here’s hoping that all will be able to play and play effectively for the next game.

Don’t know about you, but I’m pretty happy and hopeful right about now. Rams are in a relatively good place and while they will surely be underdogs this weekend, they are NOT gonna be hopelessly outclassed. Could be another entertaining playoff game for Ram fans.

As an aside, I wonder if there’s another fairytale ending in store? Like ‘99, maybe? Injured and underestimated QB with fractured thumb comes off the bench to win playoff game after playoff game? And eventually the SB? Don’t laugh outright because Ram fans have seen this kind of a movie before.

I know I have been hard on them the past few weeks and in my opinion they deserved it, However give it up for Goff , he led his team to victory under some adverse conditions and McVay seemed to push all the right buttons.

Now that I have the copyright, I'm reaching out to fellow Ram fans on two boards to submit artwork I intend to use for T Shirts and other paraphernalia. Submit it here and I will message the winner and we will formalize a contract that shares 20% of the profit.

The inspiration for this is a defense that doesn't draw enough attention because it lacks proper marketing. The uniforms are too pretty, too So Cal, to visually context how awesomely this defense performs. Therefore I used two So Cal natural powers to describe the unit.

The Quake is the front 7. They shake up the offense by pure disruption. Artwork should show a fault line crevice that divides the offense.

The Wave is the secondary that resembles a tidal wave which will envelope any hope of forward progress.

My hope is to develop specs in time to send to members of the defense to wear during interviews. I'd love to share this and promote it with my Ramily here.

Hats off to the roster for this not leaking out

AFC Wild Card Prediction and Preview: Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

It's round three between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night to finish off the NFL's "Super Wild Card Weekend." The Browns (11-5) edged the Steelers 24-22 at home last week to end their 17-season playoff drought, albeit in a game that Pittsburgh didn't play all of its starters. The Steelers (12-4) won the first meeting handily, beating Cleveland 38-7 back in Week 6.

But the Browns did what they needed to last Sunday with Nick Chubb going for 108 rushing yards on 14 carries while Baker Mayfield put up 196 yards and a touchdown through the air. Despite the win, Cleveland's defense gave up nearly 400 yards of offense to the Steelers, who were led by backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. That will certainly be a concern for this game with Ben Roethlisberger back at the helm. The Browns also will be without defensive end Olivier Vernon, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in the fourth quarter last Sunday. Vernon was second on the team in sacks with nine.

Pittsburgh won the AFC North but has stumbled down the stretch with four losses in the last five games. Some schedule changes could be blamed for the slide and the Steelers won the game they needed to — coming from 17 points down in the third quarter to beat Indianapolis in Week 16 to clinch the division title — but there are plenty of questions about this team entering the playoffs.

These two teams have played each other just twice in the postseason. Pittsburgh has won both of those meetings, the most recent taking place in the Wild Card Round during the 2002-03 playoffs. The Steelers won 36-33 at home as Bill Cowher beat Butch Davis and the quarterbacks were Tommy Maddox for Pittsburgh (3 TD passes) and Kelly Holcomb (429 passing yards) for Cleveland. More recently, the Steelers are 3-2-1 against the Browns going back to a 21-21 tie to open the 2018 season.

AFC Wild Card: Cleveland at Pittsburgh

Kickoff: Sunday, Jan. 10 at 8:15 p.m. ET
TV: NBC/Telemundo, streamed on Peacock
Spread: Steelers -3.5

Three Things to Watch

1. Intangibles

Just because it's the postseason, doesn't mean there aren't intangibles to the matchup. One has to ask which team has the edge since they just faced each other last week. Is it the team that had to hold on for dear life to get in the playoffs or the team that rested key players and was able to save some of their playbook? The Steelers' key veterans got to recharge their batteries, especially quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who has been dealing with all sorts of ailments. Pittsburgh certainly hasn't been playing well lately but this is the playoffs and the opponent is a division rival so focus shouldn't be an issue. Health and depth could still be though given the injuries the Steelers have sustained, especially on defense.

For Cleveland, the Browns' health issues are different. They are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, one that will prevent head coach Kevin Stefanski from being on the sidelines Sunday night. Special teams coach Mike Priefer will serve as acting head coach while offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt will call plays. This will be interesting to watch when you consider that Clemson was without its offensive coordinator for the College Football Playoff semifinal game against Ohio State, and the Tigers looked out of sync after using up their early scripted plays.

But the bigger concern for Cleveland is which players will miss this game. Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge have both already been ruled out after testing positive and as of early Friday afternoon, starting cornerback Denzel Ward and starting safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. were among the others on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Browns' preparation for this game has been severely impacted by this outbreak and they certainly won't be at full strength come kickoff.

2. Rushing mismatch

Despite Baker Mayfield's recent success, Cleveland's offense is predicated on the run, which sets up the play-action passing game. Nick Chubb's 108-yard effort last week snapped a four-game streak for the Browns without a 100-yard rusher. Chubb didn't play in the first meeting in Week 6 because of injury and Kareem Hunt managed just 40 yards on the ground in his absence. Pittsburgh's defense has seen its performance slip as the season has progressed as injuries to starting linebackers Devin Bush and Bud Dupree have taken their toll. Cleveland has several banged-up offensive linemen, so it will be interesting to see the final injury report. The Steelers' pass rush has remained productive, finishing first in the league with 56 sacks, led by T.J. Watt's NFL-best 15. They got to Mayfield four times in each of the regular-season meetings.

3. Big Ben standing tall?

The Steelers are going to throw it a ton most likely since they don't trust their running game. We'll see how much the week off will help Ben Roethlisberger and what he'll look like on Sunday night. He threw for 341 yards in the Week 15 win over the Colts, silencing some of his critics. Last Sunday, Chase Claypool was Mason Rudolph's go-to guy, turning 11 targets into five receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown. With Olivier Vernon out, the only Browns pass rusher Pittsburgh has to account for is Myles Garrett (12 sacks). If the offensive line can give Roethlisberger time, he could have a big game, especially considering Cleveland's COVID-19 concerns in their secondary. Even at full strength, the Browns have been susceptible to the pass (247.6 ypg, 31 TDs).

Final Analysis

You are going to see a lot of people picking the road team in this game, but I'm not going to be one of them. Yes, the Steelers are dragging into this game, but in the end, I trust their defense and Big Ben to get the victory. This doesn't mean I think a playoff run is going to happen, but I like their chances against a Browns defense that you can move the ball on. Don’t forget, they nearly lost to Mason Rudolph last week.

Prediction: Steelers 24, Browns 20

NFC Wild Card Prediction and Preview: Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints

The third and final NFC Wild Card game of the NFL's "Super Wild Card Weekend" has the Chicago Bears taking on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. The Bears (8-8) lost last week to the Packers but still claimed the final wild-card berth courtesy of winning the tiebreaker (best win percentage in common games) with the Cardinals. The Saints (12-4) finished off their regular season with an easy, 33-7 victory over the Panthers.

But New Orleans knows full well that what you do in the regular season matters little, and the Saints have the playoff scars to prove it. Three seasons ago, New Orleans was on the wrong end of the "Minneapolis Miracle" against Minnesota in the Divisional Round. That was followed by an even more painful (and controversial) overtime loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game. And last season, the Vikings struck again, this time beating the Saints in overtime in the Wild Card Round.

Chicago has experienced its share of postseason disappointment as well. In the 2018 playoffs, the NFC North champion Bears fell at home to Philadelphia 16-15 in the Wild Card Round, as kicker Cody Parkey infamously double-doinked his 43-yard field goal attempt with just 10 seconds left.

Earlier this season, New Orleans came to Chicago and beat the Bears 26-23 in overtime in Week 8. Chicago overcame a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to send the game to overtime but the Saints won it on Wil Lutz's 35-yard field goal with just 1:36 left in the extra period.

Overall, New Orleans has won six in a row against Chicago, but the Bears have a 2-0 edge in the playoffs. Both of those games were played in the Windy City and the last postseason encounter between the teams was the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 21, 2007, a 39-14 rout by Chicago.

NFC Wild Card: Chicago at New Orleans

Kickoff: Sunday, Jan. 10 at 4:40 p.m. ET
TV: CBS/Nickelodeon, streamed on Amazon Prime Video
Spread: Saints -10

Three Things to Watch

1. Who will carry the ball for the Saints?

Everyone is waiting to see if Alvin Kamara will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time to play on Sunday. Shortly after his record-tying six-touchdown performance on Christmas Day against Minnesota, Kamara tested positive for the virus and has been in quarantine since, missing last week's game against Carolina. For his part, Kamara is confident he will be back.

See y’all Sunday â¤ï¸
— Alvin Kamara (@A_kamara6) January 8, 2021

For now, he's only able to participate with the team remotely while quarantined so if he does play, rust and familiarity with the game plan could be potential factors.

The good news for New Orleans is that the other backs that were determined to be close contacts with Kamara – Latavius Murray, Dwayne Washington, and Michael Burton – have already been taken off the reserve/COVID-19 list so regardless of Kamara's status, the Saints won't be as shorthanded in the backfield as they were last week.

But even down four running backs, New Orleans still ran for 156 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries in rolling over Carolina 33-7. Converted wide receiver Ty Montgomery led the way with 105 yards on 18 carries, which is impressive considering he entered the game with just one rushing attempt for negative yardage this season. Taysom Hill continued to show off his versatility, tallying 41 yards on seven attempts. He left the game with a concussion but appears to be on track to play on Sunday.

Regardless of the Saints' improved backfield depth, the key cog is Kamara. Highlighted by his Christmas Day outburst against the Vikings, Kamara led the NFL with 21 total touchdowns in 15 games, 16 of those coming on the ground. Besides being the leading rusher (career-high 932 yards), Kamara also is the team's leading receiver (83 rec., 765 yds.) and his 1,688 yards from scrimmage are third in the league. In the first game against Chicago, Kamara totaled 163 yards on 21 touches, including a game-high 96 yards on 12 catches.

The Saints' offense also may catch a break on Sunday if Bears Pro Bowl linebacker Roquan Smith can't play because of an elbow injury. Smith left last week's loss to Green Bay after suffering the injury and has not been able to practice. His absence would be a huge blow to Chicago's defense as he finished sixth in the league in total tackles (139) and tied for fourth in tackles for a loss (18). In the first game against New Orleans, Smith racked up 11 stops (9 solo) and 2.5 TFL.

2. Is Mitchell Trubisky playing for his future with Chicago?

Trubisky has suffered, fairly or not, from increasing criticism ever since the Bears traded up to take him with the second overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He is constantly compared to his peers who were chosen later in the first round, Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. Of course, it doesn't help that Trubisky consistently comes up short in that comparison.

This season has seen two different versions of Trubisky. He got off to a rough start, getting benched and replaced by Nick Foles just three games in, but has played much better since reclaiming the job. Trubisky was one of the catalysts during Chicago's late-season surge, which saw the Bears snap a six-game losing streak to win three of their last four to sneak into the playoffs.

Trubisky's numbers don't jump off of the page, but he does enter this game with a career-best completion rate of 67 percent and has thrown seven touchdowns vs. three interceptions in his last five games. Also, for all of the criticism Trubisky has received, he is 29-21 as a starter over four seasons, including 6-3 this year. But the bottom line is the team did not pick up his fifth-year option earlier this season, meaning he will be a free agent. So this presents another opportunity for Trubisky to show that he's a starting-caliber quarterback in this league, whether that means he stays in Chicago or lands with another team.

Trubisky will certainly face a tough test in New Orleans. The Saints finished the regular season ranked in the top five in the NFL in all four major defensive categories. Against the pass, New Orleans was fifth with 217 yards allowed per game and tied with Miami and New England for the most interceptions (18) with five of those coming last week against Carolina. And while the Saints have surrendered 28 touchdown passes, they also have been effective in getting to the quarterback. Their 45 sacks rank eighth in the league, although they will be without Trey Hendrickson, who led the team and tied for second in the league with 13.5 sacks. He was ruled out on Friday afternoon because of a neck injury.

Pressure was a key in the first game with Chicago. New Orleans registered five sacks, along with an interception, in that win, but that was against Foles. Trubisky is not a statue in the pocket, as he's averaging nearly six yards per carry, so it will be interesting to see how the Saints account for his mobility. One thing is for sure, getting your first career playoff victory on the road would be a nice resume builder headed into free agency.

3. Which team is feeling more pressure?

As was documented earlier, both New Orleans and Chicago have experienced their share of recent postseason disappointment. The Saints have won four straight NFC South titles, going 49-15 in the regular season during that span, but are just 2-3 in the playoffs thus far. The Bears are 1-3 in their last four postseason games, starting with the Super Bowl XLI loss to Indianapolis back in 2007. Their two most recent playoff losses both happened at home and featured a double-doinked field goal in 2018 and an NFC Championship Game upset loss in the 2010 postseason courtesy of the archrival Green Bay Packers.

Chicago head coach Matt Nagy has led his team to the playoffs in two of his three seasons, but the only reason the Bears are in this year is because of an expanded field. There was plenty of talk about Nagy's job security when his team was stumbling through a six-game losing streak in the middle of this season. So a win on Sunday would only boost his current standing, at least with the fan base.

The expectations are different for New Orleans, however, who has made no secret of the fact that this season hinges on getting to the Super Bowl. The Saints have dealt with their own issues, including injuries to Brees and wide receiver Michael Thomas, but still find themselves in familiar territory – one of the top seeds in the playoffs with the opportunity to stay home for at least the first two rounds. But with reports circulating that Brees will retire after this season, New Orleans could be feeling even more urgency fearing their championship window is about to close. So which team will rise to the occasion on Sunday? The one possibly playing for its legacy or the one determined to prove it belongs on this stage?

Final Analysis

New Orleans enters this game among the favorites to get to the Super Bowl and eager to put recent playoff disappointments in the rear-view mirror. Chicago enters this game fortunate to be in the playoffs thanks to an expanded field a Week 17 loss by Arizona that gave the Bears the tiebreaker.

The Bears will need a career effort from Mitchell Trubisky to pull off the upset on the road against the Saints' stout defense, especially if Chicago will be without one of its anchors on that side of the ball. New Orleans is tired of exiting the playoffs in such painful ways – such as a last-second touchdown, a controversial no-call, fluky turnovers – and for Drew Brees, this could be his last shot at getting back to the Super Bowl. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but for one week at least, any speculation about his possible retirement will have to wait.

Prediction: Saints 41, Bears 19

AFC Wild Card Prediction and Preview: Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans

By the time the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans kick things off for this Sunday's Wild Card Round matchup, it will have been 364 days since the Titans upset the heavily favored Ravens on their own turf in last season's divisional playoff game. Last year, the top-seeded Ravens were riding a historic rushing attack, an MVP season from Lamar Jackson, and a 12-game winning streak into what should have been a dominant playoff run. Aside from being the fifth seed this postseason, not too much has changed for the Ravens. They still run the ball historically well, Jackson is playing at an elite level, and their five-game winning streak makes them the hottest team in the AFC this side of the Buffalo Bills.

But the Titans have bested the Ravens in Baltimore more recently than last postseason. In Week 11 of this season, Tennessee topped Baltimore, 30-24 in overtime, capped off by Derrick Henry's 29-yard, walk-off touchdown run. The Titans rode their own high-powered offense this season, thanks in large part to Henry's league-leading (again) 2,027 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns, to their first AFC South crown since 2008. While the Tennessee offense ranks as one of the five best in the league, it's the Titans' bottom-dwelling defensive unit that could prove to be their fatal flaw in a quest for the franchise's first AFC title since 2000.

It's now the Titans' turn to host the Ravens in Music City in what should be another fantastic battle between two ground-centric offenses loaded with playmakers.

AFC Wild Card: Baltimore at Tennessee

Kickoff: Sunday, Jan. 10 at 1:05 p.m. ET
TV: ABC/ESPN
Spread: Ravens -3.5

Three Things to Watch

1. Can the Titans' defense get off the field?

Tennessee features one of the worst defensive crews in recent playoff history. That's blunt, but it's true, and it could be this team's undoing. In their last five regular-season games, the Titans faced just one top-14 scoring offense (Green Bay), but still surrendered an average of 30.8 points and nearly 430 total yards of offense per contest. They've given up at least 400 yards eight times this season and at least 430 yards in four of their last five outings.

While marginal-at-best against the run, (120.8 ypg, 19th), the Tennessee D is arguably the least capable unit in the NFL at stopping opposing passing attacks. They rank 31st in touchdowns passes allowed (36), 30th in sacks (19), and 29th in yards (277.4 per game).

The Titans also are the worst team in the league when it comes to getting defensive stops. Offenses are converting on third down at a league-high 51.9 percent clip against Tennessee and scoring on 69.2 percent of their opportunities in the red zone, the third-highest mark in the league. Additionally, the Titans allow the second-most plays (6.6) and yards (38.2) per drive and have given up the most first downs (391). Put it all together and you've got a Tennessee defense that can't get off the field soon enough, or at times, ever.

Yet somehow, the Titans have stymied Baltimore's offense in their last two meetings. Thanks to four turnovers and six sacks, the Ravens have managed 36 total points in their last two meetings, including just 12 in last year's playoff duel despite gaining 536 yards. For the Titans to keep up with Ravens on Sunday, their defense will likely have to come up with more than just one takeaway.

2. Baltimore's offense flying high

The Ravens' offense is humming right now. During their five-game winning streak, Baltimore is averaging 37.2 points and 430.4 yards per game, capped off with 525 yards in Week 17 against Cincinnati. Last season the Ravens were the most dominant rushing offense in NFL history. This season, they are picking up right where they left off, even if some of the backfield pieces have changed. Baltimore leads the NFL in rushing attempts (382), yards (3,071), yards per carry (5.5), and is averaging an absurd 267 rushing yards per game during their recent streak.

The Ravens' offense only flies as high as Lamar Jackson takes them, and right now, he's playing lights out. In his last five games, Jackson has accounted for 15 total touchdowns (11 passing, four rushing), posted a 115.8 passer rating, and averaged 86 rushing yards. Jackson is the team's leading rusher (1,005 yards, 6.3 ypc) and is the first quarterback in league history to post back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

Jackson is looking to avenge his last two outings against the Titans. In the Week 11 loss against Tennessee, he had arguably the worst performance of his season, completing just 58 percent of his throws, a 74.8 rating, and managing just 3.9 yards per rushing attempt. And in last year's playoff meeting, Jackson threw for well over 300 yards, but he completed only 52 percent of his career-high 59 attempts. He also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

3. What can Brown do for the Two-Tone Blue?

You know about the man they call the king here in Nashville – Derrick Henry. You know that he rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season and you're aware that he's the back-to-back NFL rushing champ. But for as amazing as Henry is, he isn't the only weapon the Ravens' defense needs to worry about slowing down on Sunday.

Wide receiver A.J. Brown, even at just six-feet tall, became one of the games' most physically imposing receivers in this his second professional season. Brown is Ryan Tannehill's favorite and most dangerous target. He leads the Titans in all major receiving categories: catches (70), yards (1,075), touchdowns (11), and yards per reception (15.4). Brown exploded last week against Houston for a season-high 10 catches, 151 yards, and a touchdown. It was his 52-yard catch with 18 seconds left that set up the game-winning, division-sealing field goal. Brown has been especially crucial for the Titans' offense on third down, where 17 of his 18 receptions in that situation have moved the chains.

This week, Brown's big-play presence will be even more vital for Tennessee. But will he be healthy enough to make an impact against Baltimore's' elite corners? Brown was limited in practice on Thursday with a lingering knee issue and he'll be facing three of the NFL's top defensive backs in Marcus Peters at left corner, Marlon Humphrey in the slot, and a recently healed-up Jimmy Smith back in the lineup as well. With Smith's size (6-2, 210), I wouldn't be surprised to see him line up against Brown more often than Peters or Humphrey, but all three provide their own challenge for any wideout.

Final Analysis

This is going to be the most evenly matched game during "Super Wild Card Weekend." To me, it comes down to which defense can prevent the opposing offense from hitting the home-run play. Can the Ravens' eighth-ranked rushing defense keep Henry from breaking off big runs? They haven't yet. Can the Titans' defense keep Jackson from doing the same? They've done it before. Twice, actually. Is the third time the charm for Baltimore?

Prediction: Ravens 27, Titans 24

Which Bay?

Tampa or Green?

Kind of a toss-up for me, either one would be tough. I voted Green Bay mainly because it sounds really hard to beat a quality team twice in one season... and I freakin hate the idea of playing Brady in the playoffs. And I think Green Bay might be over-rated a bit, they haven’t had a big signature win over a top team.

While I am not a Bears fan I am hoping that they will upset the Saints tomorrow (Don’t think that there is much chance of that happening but stranger things have happened!) so the Rams can go play Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in FLORIDA instead of going to GREEN BAY to play Aaron Rodgers and the Packers!

I am NOT trying to be PESSIMISTIC but just asking a question! With both Goff AND Wolford nursing pretty serious injuries how do you feel about Blake Bortles taking over the Rams QB position IF Goff and Wolford have to miss playing time for the Rams remaining game(s!)? Green Bay (IF, That is where the Rams are going next week) would be a BRUTAL place to play for any QB much less a QB with the injuries that both Goff and Wolford both currently have! I certainly hope Goff and/or Wolford will be able to play throughout the rest of the Rams playoff games but if not I personally feel like Bortles while not the best QB in the NFL he probably is a pretty good 3rd string QB to have on your team and would at least give the Rams an experienced QB and with the Rams DEFENSE he would give the Rams a fighting chance!

Thanks to Tron, Bonifay, South Dakota Ram (SD), ROC, Rocket, Juggs, TX and others that may have came in.. A great day and thank you all. We got crazy yet stayed cool. I had a great time. Look forward to next game. What this site is all about..
