Game Thread: Week 16, The Los Angeles Rams @ The New York Jets, MetLife Stadium, NYC, NY, Sunday, 12/22/2024, 10:00AM, PST

[Retroram52]

The Rams have managed to win 7 of their last 9 games and with just 3 games left in the season, have a major opportunity to win the NFC West outright. This opportunity continues to depend on wins and this game should not be taken carelessly. The Rams are going to have to play better on Offense and continue to get better on Defense to secure a Third Seed in the playoffs.

Although the Rams played just good enough to win the game against the Whiners, they are going to have to get more consistent to continue toward the goal of winning the NFC West. The Jets are just wiley enough to get a win from the Rams if the Rams get careless.

So, on Offense, the Rams are going to have to come out like they did against the Bills. On Defense, they are going to have to get even more stingy and quite a bit nastier. This needs to be to carry-over to to the revenge game against the Cardinals and to take the Division crown from Seattle the following week.

We shall see how this plays out. For all of us in the West, this game is an early one on Sunday, the 22nd. Stay Tuned!!

It will be interesting to see how the Jets come out this weekend now that they've been eliminated by last week's outcome. They could start mailing it in.

Yep, they could be in a fight for the Number One overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft with the Raidas!!

Potentially a trap game with the last 2 of the season vs the Cards and Seahags.

 

[Red_Chaos]

I want Fiske and Verse to get a bizzillion sacks again them. Just not a fan of rogers...

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

I believe Tyler Higbee is expected to return.

 

[Retroram52]

Tyler should be back for the Jets game. The question will be: Will McShitferBrains allow Higbee to play as usual or more like an Atwell approach where he sees a couple of snaps to slow the return rate down a bit? I suspect it will be the latter.

Well, the Jets showed a lack of foresight and won to torpedo their draft slot. Then again, they were only playing against Mac Jones lol. Jets now all the way down to 8th with 4 wins.

This is much needed win for the Rams. We can't afford to lose another game, we need to win out.

 

[Jermaine133]

well, not sure if the Jets will mail it in but this is still a must win game. Possibly a trap one too.... this is an outdoor game with low temps in the 20s. From my knowledge rams are 1-3 in those cold games under mcdipshit... Stafford is 5-6 overall. Running the ball should be key here if the weather causes the passing game to have complications.

Hopefully they're traveling early to try to adapt to the weather. They've had plenty of time off since the Niners game to prepare.

This is nothing new. Every team in the present-day NFL is doing this especially with the utility of the PS. Evans ain't going to do much to help the Jets i such a short time because he is just dogshit but we did the same thing with Garoppolo and it looks as though it is paying dividends for us when it comes to preparing for the Whiners.

The Jets signed a former Rams RB right before their Week 16 matchup

The New York Jets might be looking for an edge in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams based on their latest signing. Just days before they’re set to host the Rams on Sunday afternoon, the Jets signed former Rams running back Zach Evans to the practice sq

Low 20s for this game. Not good for our SoCal boys so they better be practicing in a freezer

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. The LA dudes, including McVay do not do well in the cold. Stafford played 11 years in Detroit, so he should be O.K. Maybe he has gotten soft being in LA and all.

It is supposed to be sunny so it may feel like upper 20s.

But, he played in a dome, not an open stadium.

It’s not the same as playing in the weather.

Well that was a Dome but he did travel to Lambeau & Soldier field during the cold.

Would not have mattered. Played in the old Ed.

I never been but supposedly Metlife stadium is not ageing well or holding up. I'd argue with the the recent upgrades done to the Dome at America's center ( formerly the TWA dome or the Ed ), its a better venue than Metlife.
