Game Thread: Week 11, Los Angeles Rams @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Monday, 11/23/20, 5:15 PM PST

[Retroram52]

After a pretty good team win and an outstanding defensive win against the SeaHags, the Rams travel to Tampa Bay to take on Bruce Arians and Tommy with his former TE and some former Patriots. If we play like we are capable, we can win this game but the outcome will be close. This is a MNF game and it'll be late in the evening for the fans on the East Coast. Should be fun to see if we show-up and continue to play winning football.

And the revolving door continues at the kicker position. Four-bath got hurt Sunday, if you believe that and he has been put IR. Geez, cut this dogshit. I wonder if Frikin' Ficken is available. Next... ...Matt Gay! LOL!

Rams will bring in K Matt Gay to compete with Austin MacGinnis

With Kai Forbath heading to IR, the Rams are bringing in more competition at kicker.

Last road trip to the east coast, we've only have had 4 up to this point. After this game, only two road games left the rest of the season.

Rams place Whitworth and 2 others on IR, sign K Matt Gay

The Rams made a handful of expected moves official on Tuesday.

Rapp and whith on ir

 

[Retroram52]

Rapp has been bothered by lower extremity issues all season. He needs to rest and heal-up permanently. We have a young stud in Fuller and he and Johnson will be a badass tandem. Whitworth will be ready if they need him in the playoffs but my guess is the Rams will sit Whitworth until next year. Noteboom is going to seize the opportunity and he'll do well.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Assuming there is playoffs, Retro.

their next game I give a 25% chance of winning. TB defense is legit and TB is still TB and they have plenty of weapons.

and McVay likes to think his O can beat any vaunted D and plays right into their hand every single time.

and the Cards are legit a scary team and we have 2 games against them. Plus, the Rams always flounder against the 9ers.

Jeff Fisher has killed a lot of fans optimism

 

[Retroram52]

I saw the Jumbo alignment a couple of times in the SeaHags game with three TE set and Henderson, Akers, or Brown alone in the backfield. I thought finally, McVay is understanding that he has to go to that offense against the elites. The first big pass play to Higbee came from the Jumbo set in the SeaHags game. This week against TB, I wish he brings it out early because you can do so much with it and it provides a nice base for McVay to throw from which is what he wants to do. WE shall see if has learned anything as he goes against another veteran HC.

One thing that stood out is the fact Mcvay is 31-0 when leading at halftime which is awesome! However, my concern is when the rams are behind, can he make the right adjustments to come back and win games??? That's the test.

This is long over due to be said. The Rams have never gotten the respect they deserve. Kind of like the red haired stepchild of the NFL.

a SB W would change that tune pretty quick.

I really like our chances tonight and I'll be here for the game. I love being off work!!

Guess I'll root for Tampa so Seattle has a better shot at the division and home field is not QUITE what it normally is given no crowd (or minimal people).

If Seattle ends up facing Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl I'm sure check down Brady will throw for 1,000 yards while Norton drops everyone 30 yards back even though Tom can barely throw it that far.

Someone check the air pressure in the ball.

Goff to Woods TD!

 

[Jermaine133]

don't agree with singleback against the #1 ranked run defense on goalline. Very stupid idea, smh..

 

[Jermaine133]
