Game Thread: Week 14, The Los Angeles Rams @ The Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium, Sunday, 12/10/2023, 10:00AM, PST

After a convincing win against the Browns at home, the Rams go on the road to face the Baltimore Ravens. The Rams need to continue to keep the running game as their offensive basis. It opens the passing game. With Nacua, Higbee, and now Kupp coming alive, we have a real chance at a road win but the Rams are going to have to come out sharp and pressure the Ravens back on their heels. Mistakes must be kept to a minimum and our Defense is going to have to really have one of their better games. This is an early game on the West coast so remember that if you want to watch and we shall see how the Rams fair!!

The O-line and the defense are at peak performance. The Rams can do this.

Huge test next week.

Let’s see if the DL and OL are up for the task.

which corner is guarding OBJ again?

which corner is guarding OBJ again?

I'd be much more concerned with containing Lamar lol. OBJ has only had 2 games over 50 yards receiving.

 

[Battlelyon]

Baltimore is first in the league in points allowed and second in yards allowed.

Its gonna be wet with rain so it should be a run heavy game for both teams.

Assuming McVay even game plans that way.

 

[Rambunctious]

The Rams likely won’t have their veteran starting tight end for Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
Is anyone surprised? why can't this big guy tough it out? he gets hurt in nearly every game. Its like automatic, he plays and he gets hurt.

 

[Retroram52]

And with a contract extension to boot!

 

[Retroram52]

Our chances for a victory have improved with Lamar Jackson not playing. We don't have Higbee playing and Nacua banged-up, so the game may very well be a run game battle!

Last report I saw said Lamar is playing.

Btw, for those not wanting to draft a QB in a deep QB class, I have a question for you.

Would you rather draft a QB a year or 2 early and get a quality player, or wait 1-2 years when it is abundantly obvious you need a QB, and be forced to take one in a weak QB draft?

That is how the bad teams stay bad, by waiting until it is abundantly obvious and getting lesser talent vs being proactive ( ala, the Packers ).

we dont want quality, we want SUPERSTARS.

that being said

there is no point in taking a development qb when we dont have the team to develop them. We end up having to poach qbs from other teams to be decent. who the heck is our qb coach...

plus do we really want this guy on our team....

 

[Retroram52]

Williams is overrated!

 

[Jermaine133]

sigh.... so 9 straight runs and then 3 straight pass plays in the redzone? Make it make sense. Once again this coach proves he can't get out of his own way with the stupid play calling in the redzone. Way to go mcDipshit, you are who you are...

 

[UVA_Guy81]

The run works great… so let’s just do nonstop passing instead.

 

[Retroram52]

Still up by three. This Ravens defense would crumble if McShitferBrains knew anything about the Jumbo offense and he ran it all day!!

 

[Retroram52]

Havrisik finally made a FG without effing missing it. This dude may eventually get his act together because Crosby isn't exactly a major answer other than teaching Havrisik some tidbits and clearing up his mistakes in technique which apparently that idiot STs coach doesn't have clue how to do any of it and problem solve these problems!
