Game Thread: Week 17, Los Angeles Rams @ Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium, Sunday, 01/02/22, 1:25 PM PST

Shit-Fer-Brains is now 9 for 26 with losing at the half. Stafford got out of this game 26-35, 309 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, and a fumble. Michel had 19 carries for 77 yards. The D played the BBDB to the tee, I guess. Onward we go to SoFi to face the Niners and Shit-Fer-Brains' friend.

OBJ and Von coming up huge. We just stole one on the east coast.

But should we have needed to steal one?

This should’ve been a 27-13 type game, but typical McVay play calling hurt the Rams and Stafford’s continued horrible play as he adds to his active leading pick 6 lead.

Good to see you’re still bitching. Tampa just barely beat the Jets.


Any time you go to the east coast and win a close one it’s still a W. Many players could have made better decisions as well as the coach.

Let's see, Gay missed a FG and Shit-Fer-Brains and Stafford gave Baltimore a TD. So the final score should have been 24-12. But I shaint complain too loudly. I just hope this doesn't carry-over to the Niners game.

 

[Retroram52]

Onward we go to SoFi Stadium at 12-4 to face the Niners. We have won five straight and start the new year with a win. We can nail down the division with a win next week if Arizona wins today. If Arizona loses today we take the Division outright. Have not done that since 2018.

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and I'll see everyone for the Niners game!

Another solid road win, even with the turnovers. Gameplan seemed good. Odell making clutch plays to seal the game. That was one hell of a pick up.

 

[Rambunctious]

Root for a tie game in the Cardinal game.

 

[Retroram52]

Beckham and Miller were both excellent pick-ups. We should try to find a way to re-sign both.

 

[Retroram52]

Rapp and Ramsey continued their feud on the sidelines that began on the field with both talking to DSFBs and teammates. Now maybe DSFB will start Burgess in place of Rapp, maybe.

 

[Retroram52]

Antonio Brown has finally flipped. Mid-way through the game, he took off his shoulder pads and Jersey, threw his upper garments into the crowd and left the game. Tommy's little chat that supposedly got Brown to stop behaving in a psychotic manner has worn off. It is time to ban this mentally ill dolt once and for all from NFL Football!

Cardinals are working the Cowgirls over right now about to score

 

[Chilipepper]

Everything had to go right in the 4th and it did. I feel like RAMS stole one. Stafford's turnovers hurt again but he made up for them late in the game. RAMS didn't play bad it was the Ravens that played very well I give them credit. GO RAMS!

 

[Retroram52]

One of Shit-Fer-Brains' protege's won his first AFC North Division.. The Bengals win a close game with the K.C. and Zac Taylor wins his Division.

I'm glad the Rams were able to turn this around and win. This was a must win.

Still have an interception / pick 6 problem with Matthew Stafford because Sean McEgo wants to pass, pass, pass. McEgo doesn't understand that he is forcing plays along with Staffords inability to consistently make good decisions / reads as the play is developing. He can't read defenses to save his life.

 

[Retroram52]

That first INT was a very bad decision and play-call by McEgo/Shit-Fer-Brains. He had two yards to go for a first and he just couldn't help himself. He could have easily run it or even trotted out the smashmouth Jumbo and run it down their throats for the first but noooo.

 

[Retroram52]

Cardinals are going to beat the CaBoys. We won't win the division today, but we are a game ahead and that means we must beat the Niners to win the division next week. The Cardinals own any tie-breaker if we tie them. Depending on what happens with the Packers, we still have a chance to get the First Round bye but they have to lose two games and we have to win next week. The Packers own any tie-breakers as well. So we shall see how it all plays out.

 

[SJ76]

Last 2 weeks Rams faced 2 teams on the road playing for their lives without their best player. I’ll take the dubs especially with the roller coaster of covid.


Could the game today have been cleaner? Yes it has to or we will get bounced from here on out. My biggest concern is the combination of Mcvay play calling and Stafford decision making backed up against our own end zone.

That last drive in the 4th quarter in Baltimore was pretty stout. All the big time players making big plays.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Too bad Dallas isn’t going to help the Rams clinch the division.

AZ could steal it back next week with the way Stafford has played the past 6 weeks and SF having McVay’s number.

 

[Retroram52]

What is so frustrating SJ76, is I know of 5 distinct times in the last 16 games where that exact scenario of the situation being short yardage for a first down, deep in our own territory, and Shit-Fer-Brains calling for a pass play and ALL OF THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES ended in a INT or a Pick-6. He WILL NOT RUN THE BALL EVEN ADDING THE JUMBO TO SECURE THE FIRST DOWN!!

Now, one would think that SOMEBODY would get it that the Rams offense with Stafford back there, in that scenario goes haywire and the odds of a different, more successful outcome happening are VERY LOW. Yet Shit-Fer-Brains refuses to recognize the dangers and risk with that scenario and simply change his play-calling approach to secure the First Down and retain possession of the ball. If the run doesn't get the First Down, you avoid the INT, INT/Pick-6 outcome and ya punt the ball away. Nope, not this dope.

That is the classical definition of insanity: Keep doing the same things and expecting different results and yet SHIT-FER-Brains is doing exactly that!

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, Dallas has come back to within 3 points on the Cardinals.
