So, I was looking through the offensive numbers this year, and thinking how great it feels to have a high powered attack again. Not quite on par with the 1999 team at this point, but close.

But looking at the big picture, go to the year 2000, and just imagine what that offense would have looked like had Warner not gotten hurt against the Chiefs. For perspective through 6 games that year ....

43.6 PPG
504.6 YPG
Warner had thrown for nearly 2300 yards and 17 TD

That team would have scored 650 points, Warner would have thrown for 6000 yards, and been hands down been the greatest offense in NFL history.

Amazing.

Still extremely quiet since they had a MNF loss to digest today. Also had to re-register at one of their boards. I'll update as the week progresses.

Just do whatever we did to put up around 40 points last year and pray we can avoid anymore busted coverages.
---------------------------------------------
Can you all smell that?
It's Bosa. And he'll be a step closer to us after this game.
---------------------------------------------
We got a little better in some areas, they got a lot better some areas since last year. They could blow us out, but it's a rivalry / divisional game. I see a lot of points being scored...though their defense has one or two weaknesses that Shanny will exploit, we have too many holes

They've recently won a couple of close ones (3rd road game for them). We've lost a lot of close ones, something has to go our way sooner or later. In the end, I imagine they'll tear us a new affhole, but I won't be shocked if we sneak it out.
------------------------------------------------

That's it for now so i'll post some other "stuff."


I'll finish with still one of my favorite Ram celebrations EVER

Congrats to @Ellard80 for winning last weeks PTS contest, being just 1 point off the actual score


So we are on to this week...

Niner week

'nuff said


lets see those predictions

Rams cut DB Linden Stephens and signed Travin Howard to there practice squad.

Good news!

Heated argument with some local Rams fans who insist Rams have used a white helmet with blue horns in regular season games. I've been a Ram fan over 60 years and can't recall ever seeing that. I could be wrong. I'm not an internet guy and not very good with the research. Little help from you Ram history buffs?

If they did wear a white helmet with blue horns, what year and what game?

After nearly two years of negotiating, the Los Angeles Rams finally rewarded Aaron Donald with a massive six-year, $135 million contract this offseason. It made him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history before Khalil Mack one-upped him, setting a new standard for players on that side of the ball.

He’s one of the most dominant players in the league regardless of position and has been for years, but his newfound money hasn’t changed him. He’s remained a game-wrecker at defensive tackle for the Rams, constantly commanding the attention of nearly every offensive lineman around him.

Through six games, he has four sacks and 17 total tackles, but his impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. If you count the number of holding penalties he’s drawn, too, you begin to see why the Rams were happy to lock him up for six more years.

There are also holds that go uncalled, too, which even Sean McVay admits officials are missing.

“You talk about an elite competitor, brings it every single day, the way that he approaches it. He, again, is one of those guys that’s what’s right about our building. He’s a special talent, special player, special person. All those things,” McVay said on ESPN LA 710. “And yeah, I agree with you. There’s a lot of holdings that aren’t getting called that should be, but if they flagged him every single play, the pace of play would be a little slow.”

When the schedule was announced, this was going to be color rush - is that still the case?

Does anybody know where to find which uniforms a team will be wearing for the upcoming week?

Rams at 49ers — Walt Anderson

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Anderson_(American_football)

Anderson joined the NFL in 1996 and, as of 2015, he has officiated in 17 playoff games, including eight Wild Card, two Divisional, five Conference Championship games, and two Super Bowls: Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 (as line judge) and Super Bowl XLV in 2011 (as referee).

He was the referee in the January 18, 2015 AFC Championship game, known for the deflategate controversy. Anderson cites Super Bowl XXXV as being his most memorable game.

Anderson's 2018 NFL officiating crew consists of umpire Carl Paganelli, down judge Tom Stephan, line judge Byron Boston, field judge Terry Brown, side judge Rick Patterson, and back judge Lee Dyer.

I’m considering going from my stock 2017 Ram Tradesman to this 2019 Big Horn/Lone Star Ram...only $100 more a month....this thing is full of things mine does not currently have. I’m so tempted. But starting over...ugh. What say you goin from..

To this



Give me some advice!

Over here we call them "Ticket Touts", (I think you guys use the term "Scalper") These guys are really frowned upon and hated, for taking advantage of true fans, but over on your side of the pond it seems to be a lot more tolerated and accepted. Would you guys say that's an accurate assumption or am I completely off the mark?

The reason I ask is, earlier this year myself and the girlfriend were looking for tickets to the Packers game (plans have now fallen through for different reasons ) but only came across resale tickets at outrageous prices.

Next year we will 100% be making a trip over and want to be prepared, so thought I would enquire in here, for the best way to peruse original tickets at face value. Failing that do you know of any sites or places where we could purchase tickets from genuine fans who only want to sell at face value because they can't make a certain game, rather than just trying to make a quick buck from genuine fans.?

Obviously I've been banging the drum for Trent Murphy or Ray whom we got a look at first hand Sunday but if the raiders are really having a fire sale I'd love to get my hands on Irvin. He is about 30 still plays well and might be a bit of a monster feeding of our defensive line. A move like this would make me so very happy. What do you guys think about bringing his baby making ass over to LA????

They mentioned this is his contract year. He played at USC and may want to come home. Not what he used to be, but still above avg and might be more affordable since his play has fallen off a bit.

Might be a good stop gap abswer 9n the edge until the Rams can find a young stud outside rusher.

1. Los Angeles Rams 6-0 (last week: 1)

Todd Gurley is literally running his way to an MVP season, showing he can carry the team even when the passing game and defense are off.

1. Los Angeles Rams (1)
With potential snow in the forecast, the Los Angeles Rams were expected to heavily rely even more on Todd Gurley during Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, but nobody expected him to have a career day on the ground. The runner up to last year’s MVP award was an absolute nightmare for the defense of the Broncos in Week 6 after rushing for a career high 208 yards to go along with two trips into the end zone.

Thanks to some help from the New England Patriots taking down the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles is now the only remaining unbeaten team in the NFL heading into Week 7, bringing in a whole new level of pressure. Over the first six games, the Rams have been handling the pressure of being a strong candidate to make a run at the Super Bowl pretty well when looking at some of their victories, but this will be a new kind of feeling.
---------------------------------------

No. 1 Los Angeles Rams (6-0)

The Rams withstood a late Broncos comeback to notch their sixth straight win. Todd Gurley had the standout NFL performance of Week 6 with 208 yards and two touchdowns. Gurley averaged a stellar 7.4 yards per carry against the Broncos on his way to a career-high amount of rushing yards. We did not see the typical prolific Rams passing attack we are used to seeing, but Los Angeles still managed to pull out a victory.

Jared Goff threw for just 201 yards and did not throw a touchdown in the game. Gurley believes the Rams run game is what opens up the passing game for the team.

"We want to have a well-balanced offense," Gurley told ESPN. "It starts with the run, then the play-action, and then everything else is going to take care of itself."

This week marked the second of what will be three straight weeks on the road for the Rams. Next week, the Rams head to San Francisco to close out nearly a month on the road. There is no end in sight for the Rams who do not have a bye week until Week 12.

Still waiting for our buddy at Walterfootball.com to post his rankings. Especially the comments section. If you don't get that reference check out the thread at the link below.

Something that popped into my mind while watching other teams is how disciplined our offense is. I feel like I'm taking it for granted, but I remember under our previous few coaches how many procedural penalties we used to get. Other than a two or three false starts against Seattle (understandable), we've had next to no false starts, illegal formations, illegal shifts, etc. It is remarkable how disciplined our offense has been this year. *knock on wood*

I mean, I am curious - who really enjoys this current brand of football, outside of cheering for the Rams?

28 QB's right now have a completion percentage >61%
Drew Brees completing 78% of his passes

Watching GB-SF right now:

CJ Beatherd 8-9, 178 yards, 2 TD
Rodgers 11-20, 222 yards

The rules have made it impossible to play defense at a high level for a sustained period of time.

I just miss football when it wasn't like a video game.

McVay hints at bringing in another WR. Said they could use some depth at WR. One they are familiar with. Racking my brain who that might be. Has to be someone familiar with the slot.

Spruce?

Cmon man! There is no way that game should've come down to an onside kick. The score is not reflective of how the Rams, the Rams offense, the Rams OL owned the broncos.

We all knew this was a game for the run game to dominate. Apparently, so did the OL. Gurley passed 200 yards and wasn't even breathing hard. Another 7-10 carries and he might've challenged the single game record. The OL came to play. They were killing the broncos defense.
...and then McV developed a case of "Martzism".

He got bored and tried to spread the ball around. Why was Gurley on the bench when the Rams were pinned near their own goal line? Nearly every series of events that transpired, keeping the broncos in the game, came about when either Gurley was off the field, or McV decided to try plays just to keep the new generation occupied.

Cmon man. There was absolutely no excuse for that game being that close at the end. The Rams should've won by 2 TDs easy.

BTW, special props to my the man who's is becoming my favorite Ram:
Littleton, #58. All he does is make plays. Can you believe that pass coverage that far down the field? Love him.

Anyone hear more about this?

And one of them could put him in the record books.

He is on pace for 1661 rushing yards and 658 receiving yards. That's not that far off off his pace last year if McVay hadn't sat him down. It's pretty much right there.

If that happens this year I'd bet that @den-the-coach and @Rams43 will throw their McVay pajamas directly into the garbage can, or burn them and post the video on YouTube.

BUT.

He is on pace for 29 TD's. Versus last years 19.

The record is 31, set 12 years ago by LTomlinson. Gurley will almost certainly get into the top 5 of all time.

That Chefs team had nowhere near the weapons this Rams team does and relied on LT to carry them..............yet Gurley is scoring at a breakneck pace on a team with playmakers all around.

Bear in mind McVay isn't yet relying on Gurley as much as I would like in the red zone and still getting a little cute.

I'd really like to see Gurley keep the pace and get over 2300 total yards and challenge the TD record and win another OPOY.
