Great win!!! LOVED THE ENDING...but the celebration is over.

RAMS GOT WORK TO DO...BECAUSE:

* Once again we let a team back in a game after getting a big lead.

* THAT FEEDS THE NINERS TO BELIEVE THEY CAN TAKE US AGAIN..like last time.

* 4 FUMBLES...you best believe the 9ers are gonna tackle the ball...especially when Akers has it.

IT'S TIME TO GET FOCUS AND GET YOUR MINDS RIGHT RAMS. IF YOU DON'T GET TO THIS SUPERBOWL IT'S GONNA BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER CHANCE!!!!
 
I dislike Brady more than just about anybody for how much crap he gets away with, and it always makes me cringe when I see the GOAT stuff (just because I think Unitas was better). But today, thing is, he didn't really get many lucky breaks. That 2nd to last drive where he missed on 4th down, he had Gronk flat-out open for an easy touchdown. Gronk had beaten somebody (looked like Long?) and had a great angle towards the back corner. Brady just flat-out didn't see him, which is the only reason they ended up losing as things progressed. And let's be honest, that 15 yarder they called on him was kind of a makeup call for 15 years of getting preferential treatment. His receivers didn't do him any favors for 40 minutes, and his O-Line certainly didn't have his back at all.

Gotta give credit where it was due on this one today - he just brought them back almost through sheer force of will (and boneheaded play on the other side)

Fuck Brady take that shit somewhere else Benedict Arnold
 
I’ve criticized McVay plenty…

Can’t find fault with any decisions or planning.

I wouldn’t have benched Akers for that first fumble. But I’d sure tell him to 2 hand it late in the game next time.

Team looked ready to compete with solid schemes. Rams just matchup well within Bucs.

Morris was fantastic and Joe D is absolutely crushing it.
 
Saving it for the NFC Championship. You know I had decided for that game to use one of two gifs, those being the train getting rolling and one of a train falling into a ravine. Idea was use whichever one was appropriate during the game since I had kids over and shit. And I didn't have to use the bad one even once which was crazy.

But anyway gonna be doing that one for the next game. :thumbsup1:
Haha nice!!

Stafford was the hero at the end. The monkey is officially off his back. In fact, the monkey's now got Stafford on his back.

Dance monkey dance!
Are you saying he beats the monkey lol (blue fonts)

My only complaint is, and said this to my son in the first half, is why put all the load on Akers? I don't like that he just shelved Michel for the most part. That's a lot to put on a kid who missed the entire season, camp, etc...
 
I'm still numb. But they got it done. On to the NFC Championship! Biggest game of the year next week, and I like the Rams chances. I also think this win will help them in the long run.

I think Akers in the screen and short pass game is such an upgrade that McVay wants him in there that much more. I love Michel but when he's in the backfield you have two options IMO: run him or throw it to someone else while he pass blocks.

Would have been nice if they'd mashed a little with Michel. But not gonna criticize other than to say seeing them work through the chain-of-failure thing that they do from time to time was kind of a big deal. The way this ended might help them exorcise that memory of losing the lead to SF. Now get to it at home and show they've moved on with a big W.
