Big win last night and we sit at 8-6. LFG!

 

[Retroram52]

Anytime we sweep the Whiners and embarrass Deebo Samuels is a good day (and night)!

 

[SJ76]

Whoa, a SJ sighting!!

The game was one of the first ones I recall in a while that McVay outcoached Shanahan

 

[Retroram52]

I agree SJ, although I wondered about some of McVay's decisions during the course of the game. You know me, dude!

Shanahan blew it trying to force the ball to Deebo most of the game.

Have to admit though, I would've liked a few more balls forced to Kupp last night. That 0 score is going to end my fantasy playoff run prematurely.

Turner and the defense Game ball
And Karty

Stafford really played tough, taking some hits running the ball and evading the rush in the pocket. Tough first half in the rain, missed a lot of throws but somehow managed to avoid any turnovers.

I suppose the NFC Championship counts as well if you conclude that Shanahan was more stupid than McVay since neither of them called a particularly great game.

 

[SJ76]

Of course. But he surprised me too. He’s too smart. Out thinks himself. As he gets older I think he will get better but he’s done a good job with this team

What do you think about #50 Limmer? He’s done well

 

[Retroram52]

Limmer was one of those finds that was the same thought they had for Logan Bruss. Bruss never materialized. Limmer was the diamond and he reminds me of a long history of good-to-great Centers like Ken Iman, Doug Smith, and John Sullivan. He will be the LA Center for the next decade barring injury.

The same people that found Limmer, also found Dedich right there in LA at USC because the former D-Line coach Hendrickson is at USC and he was screaming for the Rams to sign Dedich. The signing of both players made their Jonah Jackson move a complete and utter failure and everybody knows it.

Snead and McVay are both slow learners when it comes to the draft and historically, they have been incredibly bad like the 2019 Draft, where 5 years later, there is not one player on the present-day Roster from that draft.

What did happen after the Snooperbowl in 2021 is the Limp Biscuit (uncharacteristically) stepped-in and demanded that the scouting department be revamped. The Rams brought in some fresh youngsters in that department and the Drafts have slowly been getting better, slowly. The other thing that happened is they were instructed (source unknown) to stop throwing away First Round Draft Picks and big contracts orchestrated by that idiot Kevin Demoff were extinguished. It paid off with the selection of Verse this year and again in the later rounds to select Fiske.

With both changes, the Rams found Limmer and Dedich who will be with the team going forward. So will people like Nacua, Lake, Verse, Fiske, McCollough, Whittington, Turner, Brown, and McDermott.

Having stated that, Snead and McVay now need to get better at FA because they both bit-the-hog-in-the-ass with the Jackson and White signings when they were advised to not sign those two players. Parkinson is going to work out and D. Williams is beginning to come through.

Now they will again have to focus on the ILB position in the draft because it remains a glaring weakness even though Rozeboom is player much better that he did when he was next to Reeder.

I have to admit that this year's team may be McVay's best coaching experience yet even with having to bring a host of new coaches that were poached as well a nearly brand new roster that has really responded. He has done a remarkable job if the Rams win the NFC West and get the Third seed in the playoffs.

We shall see.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Fisher.....

I can't DJ. There are some nights I wake up from a nightmare of having been a Rams fan when that idiot was the HC. One thing the Drama Queen did right was draft one Aaron Donald. I suppose that falls under the category: Even a Blind Squirrel finds the nut once and awhile. LOL!

 

[Retroram52]

I hope the Rams and McVay utilize their 10-days off effectively to PREPARE FOR THE JETS AND COME OUT GUNS ABLAZIN LIKE THEY DID AGAINST THE BILLS!!

Some of you guys kill me!!! I come in here after the games and read the comments, a lot of bitching and moaning during the games.
Shit happens, Im sure the niner fans were bitching too! Just like the fans of every team every week!

Be thankful, there are fans of other teams that have followed their shitty teams for years and deal with shitty teams every year!

The weather conditions werent that good in the first half and you could tell the difference when the conditions improved in the second half!
Also the niners have been missing quite a few defensive players all year, most of them were back for this game and they do have a pretty good defense! The Rams oline played well, while the yards per carrry wasnt great, LA ran the ball fairly well, 29 carries for Williams in 2 straight games is a lot, especially considering he isnt that big of a back?

All year the defense has had flashes of good and a lot of bad. They played better and only gave up a few BIG plays, unlike they usually do!

Ive said before they have the second youngest team in the league, would be the youngest if not for Stafford, Cupp, and a few others that are getting up there in age! Rams have drafted well in the last 2 years, especially with Turner, Young, Verse, Fiske, and Kitchens has his moments? Speights is coming around, but Yes they definitely need help at linebacker But this is a young team and they will have their struggles, but i think the future looks bright for this defense!

People have also bitched about Karty, but ive seen articles where they said Gay and some other great kickers struggled their first year! Karty has missed some kicks, but hasnt cost LA any losses this year, but has kicked some FG's that were the difference in some wins !

Stat wise the Rams were only beaten by Vegas, Eagles, and Cardinals this year, so ya theres been a couple tough losses that we could have won, but overall its been a pretty good year, especially considering we had a lot of oline injuries early on and missing Puka and Coop early in the year.

Rams win out and make playoffs the year, it will exceed my expectations and im good with it, beats being cellar dwellers that a lot of other fans have to deal with every year


Just saying

And don’t forget about that Jet Sweep!

Cold weather could be a major factor
