it aint up to the chargers,
If any company out there is hoping to put its name on the Rams' new stadium in Los Angeles, they better run the plan by their accounting department first, because it's not going to be cheap.

As a matter of fact, if the Rams get their way, it will go down as the most expensive naming rights deal in NFL history.

According to the Sports Business Journal, the Rams are seeking a minimum of $30 million per year from any company that's willing to buy the naming rights at the team's new $2.7 billion palace in Inglewood, California.

Not only does the team want $30 million per year, but the Rams also want the deal to run for at least 20 years, which means any potential company looking to purchase the naming rights would have to commit a minimum of $600 million to the team.

I saw that Sammy, Tavon, Quinn, Sullivan and Lamarcus went out with injuries. Sammy is who I am most concerned about given he is in concussion protocol...has there been any update and is 10 days until the next game sufficient time for him to return.

giving them a short week going into the Rams game. They also play ariz, dont know how good their D is but playing an NFC west D, then a short week before facing the Rams could help. I think the Goffense will be ok at least, that means WP needs to teach the front 7 how to stop every imaginable run play.

The dude has been nails only allowing 1 QB pressure in 3 games and helping turn the OL into a strength of this team. Any thoughts on the last free agent signing that turned out so well?

He y'all, hope everyone is enjoying victory Friday! I just wanted to share a video from my YouTube channel of my experience at the game last night (also my girlfriends first Rams game). It was a blast (even though we almost blew it) seeing the offense explode, especially in enemy territory. Also you can see at the end of the video when I got Marshall's auto, which I've been seeking for many years! Cheers!

Wow he was very accurate. Not a lot of pressure. The first throw might be his best but the throw to Watkins was nice too. He fired that first one on a rope right at Woods. Nice to see WR make the catches.

That's right. The Wade D...

[www.nfl.com]

Where to start?

Allowed 39 points.

Allowed 332 yards passing.

Allowed 113 yards rushing.

Allowed 25 first downs.

Allowed 9/18 (50%) 3rd down efficiency.

Allowed 2/3 ( 67%) 4th down efficiency.

Allowed 5/6 RZ efficiency (87%)

To the Niners led by Brian Hoyer? None of the above are misprints, btw.

I mean, WTF?

Our D was dead last in any list of things I thought I needed to worry about come September. But now? Gulp...

Let's all take a bow. A BIG one. Lol.

I would hate to have to defend this O right about now.

Man, I am listening to Colin Cowherd and he is reporting that Don Banks (longtime NFL reporter) is saying that his sources are saying the NFL is going to try and force the Chargers back to San Diego. It's a disaster so far for them, being the 2nd fiddle in LA and can't fill a soccer stadium.

This offensive line has gotten better every game and is looking like a blocking UNIT again. They were up against some tough, talented linemen yesterday and everyone held their own and then some. What's awesome is this could just be the tip of the iceberg!

Love this:

Ok, so I said the Rams would need to "put up 35" to have a chance against the Saints....and that we thusly didn't have a chance.

Ok, I was wrong, we can put up 40 on the Saints....too....

But, just to make some other people mad--- we won't beat Dallas....lol, but I mean it.

And Gurley's post-game interview (easily one of his best)
Login to view embedded media

It was both jarring and intriguing to see McVay huddled in the corner prepping o strategy and other duties on the water coolers.

Do you think this type of workload (head coach, OC, play caller) is sustainable or will our prized, young buck burn out?

Do you think this style is a form of coaching that this new generation will usher in? i.e "In the trenches"

What are some viable alternatives to this approach, do you think McVay will eventually assign more duties to his staff?




I personally think it may be too much for McVay -- he even commented on his exhaustion with the quick turnaround for Thursday in the post game presser.

I hope as the offense develops he'll be able to take a less hands on approach and become more managerial.

Getting sick of all sports media harping on the NFL product these days, and the league's impending demise.
Here in Seattle, even Brock Huard (one of the more reasoned commentators) is thinking due to OL play, worries surrounding concussions, blah, blah, blah, the league is in real trouble.

Solution: Put the Rams on TV more. This offense (Greatest Show on Surf, or whatever it may be called soon), will be putting butts in seats and eyes on screens.

Yes, I do overdose on Kool-Aid on occasion. Tastes gooooooooood!

Go RAMS!

No need to name poster names, but the following players or positions are not nearly the causes of concern that some thought during camp:

Goff. Yeah, he's gonna be a franchise QB under McVay. Little doubt about it anymore.

Gurley. He's now a beast as a RB and a pass receiving threat. A nightmare for opposing DC's. He'll have his 5th year option picked up at this rate.

Woods. This Niner game was Exhibit A why McVay wanted him. Nice reply to his disappointing Redskin game.

OL. This was maybe everybody's biggest concern. Mine, too. Well, it's still a work in progress, but there's been a HELLUVA lot of progress, so far. Kromer, take a bow, man.

Tavon. Ummmmm... I'm gonna take the high road here. But I still think that he's a man without a position.

After 3 games, maybe we can exhale about so many of our O pieces.

But that D? Dang!

Wade can only go so far on his reputation. Time to show us a much better D, Wade. We can't be scoring 41 damned points every week just to win by two.

Can we get some love for C Austin Blythe, who came in for John Sullivan and disappeared into the background of the game? There were no penalties on him, no sacks, no bad shotgun snaps, not a peep from him. His is exactly what you want to see from an offensive lineman and he did a phenomenal job in Sullivan's place.

I'll admit that I was worried about him because I saw him overthrow several shotgun snaps in training camp and preseason, but he must have worked hard to get those kinks out.

Fantastic job!

I have been a long time Ram fan since their first stint at the coliseum when Les Richter played linebacker. I am quite excited and a bit concerned about the current rams situation and I would like to share some of my thoughts with you forum veterans.

Goff starting to look like a No. 1 pick after best game of his career against 49ers

Posted by Curtis Crabtree on September 22, 2017, 12:43 AM EDT

There wasn’t much to get excited about based on Jared Goff‘s seven starts as a rookie last season for the Los Angeles Rams. Seven starts, five touchdowns, seven interceptions and not a single victory to show for his troubles.

But through the first three games of the 2017 season, Goff appears to have made significant strides forward.

Goff completed 22 of 28 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns in the victory in what was certainly his best start as a professional. He also wasn’t sacked once by the 49ers, the first such game of his career. After not throwing for more than 235 yards in any of seven starts in 2016, Goff posted his first 300-yard gain in L.A.’s season opening win against the Indianapolis Colts and nearly reached 300 yards again Thursday night against the 49ers.

The Rams have already scored more points in three games this season (107) than in Goff’s seven starts combined from last season (85). The Rams failed to score more than 21 points in any game Goff started last year. They’ve twice eclipsed 40 points scored already this season after their 41-39 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.

While the change in coaching staff almost certainly has made a significant difference as well, Goff is starting to show that he was worthy of the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft. If he can continue to play like he has through the first three weeks, the Rams might find themselves a playoff contender come the end of the season.

The young man has been impressive this season. Maybe it is RIPTSD (Ram Induced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), but I hold my breath on a lot of his throws. First, he seems oblivious to the rush and I can almost feel a strip sack coming (thankfully hasn't happened yet). Second, he throws a kinda weird almost "soft" flutter ball.

However, I don't care about his fluttery, funny balls as long as he keeps up that accuracy. Man, he has been good. His play makers are really helping him out too. Fun to watch.

Take the touchback!!!!! It's like what the old timers used to say about the forward pass - four things can happen running a KO out of your own endzone and three of them are bad:

1. Fail to reach the 25
2. Fumble
3. Penalty

Interestingly, it looked like Cooper may have had a nice return on that play where he coughed it up. Still, I hold my breath every time he runs it out of the endzone, expecting a penalty, turnover or (at best) failure to reach the 25. As a matter of fact, I believe one of those three has happened EVERY time so far this year.
