Game Thread: Week 13, Los Angeles Rams @ Detroit Lions, Sunday, 12/02/18, 10:00 AM PST

[Retroram52]

After a bye week and some rest, the Rams can shake-off what rust has accumulated by going into Detroit and just playing Rams football. Detroit is a dumpster fire right now, so if we start slow, we should be able to come out of this game with the win. Talib is practicing again so maybe we will see him on the field. Let's see if our D picks it up and actually plays a full game because we have two tough ones coming-up with Chicago in Chicago and the Iggles in LA. This is an early start for the West Coasters so take note. See everyone on Sunday!!

I wouldn't start Talib unless he's 100% because there's no need to risk an unnecessary injury. If he's not fully healthy, I'd have him as a backup in case someone gets hurt and hope he's ready for the Sunday night game the following week in Chicago.

Stafford is use to getting sacked, Aaron Donald is kicking his chops. This might get ugly.

 

[Retroram52]

I would love to see the D play a perfect game and shut these dudes completely out!!

 

[J-Rod]

I hope Detroit keeps playing how they have and not try to surprise us.

Yep that would be a good confidence builder too Retro.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

If we can play like we're capable of, we can definitely seize control of homefield advantage with the Saints getting upset tonight. Unfortunately, I'm going to be watching what little I can of this one via RedZone since we're getting the Bears-Giants game here in the DC market.

I hope Detroit keeps playing how they have and not try to surprise us.

This will probably be their "Superbowl" which scares me a bit...

 

[Retroram52]

The Saints lose to Dallas. All we have to do is keep it going and we will secure homefield throughout the playoffs.

I always figured that the Thanksgiving game at home is their Super Bowl every year.

I want the win, but would really like the shut out to be against the Bears.

Have had Stafford in my fantasy league, he has pretty much sucked all year! Picked up Goff about 3 weeks ago, he's done ok
Stafford has been sacked a lot, hopefully that continues this week!!!! Hopefully Suh has his breakout game against his former team, and Donald goes nuts!!!!!
Our defensive backs "should" have a good game, other than Galloway, Lions have nothing at WR

I hope it's not a blowout since this is the only early game I have.....KC-Oak and NE-Minny in the afternoon.

I took the Rams -10....

Rams win, 31-20.

Sorry I hope it is a blowout, for the good guys!!!

 

[Smed55]

I guess I'll never get it?? some of these guys only get on the field during kicks, yet we constantly are blocking some guy in the back, don't they constantly tell you if you can read the guys name, DONT FLIPPING BLOCK HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

We are opening a little on the slow slide and they are running a lot of Gurley but he looks tired.

 

[Retroram52]

Reynolds gets a few more yards after the catch.

 

[Retroram52]

We ran out of room and Goff had all day to throw but we came-up short on the TD.

 

[Retroram52]

WE settle for the FG.
