Game Thread: Week 1, Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks, Lumen Field, Sunday, 09/10/2023 1:25PM PST

[Retroram52]

After a horrid Preseason, the consensus amongst the pundits is that the ShitferBrains twins are going to use the 2023 season as a rebuild/developmental/see-what-we-got season.

With Kupp starting out the season injured and the roster composed primarily of young, inexperienced players (all 14, 2023 draftees made the roster), the prevalent belief is the Rams are going to have a very long year. Translation: The Rams aren't going to win more than 5 games!

So with that in mind, the Rams may get a victory in Seattle on Sunday but the more likely scenario is an ass-whippin loss.

This year, we fans are going to have to have a Plan B on game day when the Rams go south and we will all know that Plan B is in effect by the First Quarter as they go south pretty quickly as proven in the Preseason!

So come on out for the show on Sunday and have your Plan B's ready. I may not make it because my Plan B is work.

Kupp now officially out for this game.

Kupp now officially out for this game.

That was expected.

Bet he misses at least 3-4 games

Is this something that is now a problem or a manipulation of the rules to keep players? When the Rams finally saw their fourth round pick play, everyone was applauding but several noticed how small and fragile Bennett was. This damn obsession with tiny players is getting to ridiculous proportions. Again, are we going to see Bennett fighting injuries the majority of his career or is this a manipulation of the player movement rules?!

Rams might not have a healthy backup behind Matthew Stafford right now

Rookie Stetson Bennett has a shoulder issue that could keep him out of Week 1 vs Seahawks

So I guess Rypien gets elevated from the PS already this week?

 

[Retroram52]

Appears to be the case, shopson. Maybe Will Grier might have been a better choice for backup QB? Maybe.

Hoping none of them are needed, lol.

Rams are somehow still 'figuring out' their starting offensive line

With only a few days before kickoff, the Rams are still unsure who their five starting offensive linemen will be

They may be.

McVay hasn’t even picked his starting 5 yet, and it’s gametime in 2 days.

How are they supposed to have any continuity when he hasn’t even settled on the starting 5 so they can build come cohesion?

This Rams player is set to start at right guard in Week 1 against Seahawks

Noteboom at RG? Really?

Anchrum played well all preseason, and they give the starting nod to Noteboom who has played a whopping 10 snaps at RG his whole career just so they can justify his contract?

This is McVay and Co continuing to do dumb things for their “favorites”

 

[Retroram52]

That is so spot on, ALR. The ShitferBrains twins are at it again. Dumbass McShitferBrains can't make up his mind about his O-line. He finally is starting Shelton at Center over Allen because Shelton is the better player. When a guy plays great for three games, what does this useful idiot do? He yanks him and starts another sieve they overpaid!!

 

[Retroram52]

You watch, I won't be surprised when sieve boy at Right guard will get Stafford killed and will do shit in the running game.

How many years did we have to watch Brian Allen get beat badly every week before dumbass McShitferBrains actually put in a better player?

When is this idiot going to learn?

All these years later, and he still hasn’t figured things out.

I was hoping this was the year when they finally dumped busts like Bruss, but then they keep their favorites like Noteboom and Allen.

This is obviously a “ see what you have on the team “ year, so why not do that with Anchrum and some of these other guys?

Silver lining is Noteboom will be injured soon enough and then McVay won’t have a choice.

Hopefully he is on a short leash. When he screws up, and he will, Anchrum comes in.

Let’s hope so

Think Seattle wins but I like the Rams to cover. On here at least.

Not my new Fan Duel account. LOL.

 

[Retroram52]

Well crap. I am here in eastern Oregon waiting for a load. Now I might have time to show-up for the damn game. It is the nature of the industry!!

 

[Red_Chaos]

A lot of teams getting blown out. Especially Steelers and Bengals
