Game Thread: Week 6, Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants, MetLife Stadium, Sunday, 10/17/21, 10:00 AM PDT

[Retroram52]

After the Rams put together a pretty good game against the SeaHags in Seattle, they travel to New York City in 10 days to MetLife Stadium to face the Geeants. The Geeants are in disarray and this should be an opportunity for the Rams to fix some of their glaring problems and build on the big win. They can take advantage of this mini-bye week to heal-up and to work on certain aspects of the game like Stafford's obvious throwing problem where he is underthrowing receivers on deep routes. Another area for some work is STs. Still another is the Rams pass Defense which continues to give-up deep passes to WRs as part of the BBDB Defense of Raheem Morris. McVay's play-calling needs some work as well. We shall see how the Rams respond to what appears to be a lesser team but any-given-Sunday is still operative in the NFL.

I already have my tickets and will be there. My son (25 years old) is a Giants fan, otherwise he is a good kid.

Good for you chy1127. You are going to have a fun night with the son!!

Looks like Stafford, Higbee, and Floyd are going to be O.K. for the Geeants game.

Matthew Stafford's finger 'feels good,' Leonard Floyd expected to be OK after injury scare

Matthew Stafford and Leonard Floyd had injury scares on Thursday night but both are expected to be OK.

I suppose the Rams are better with Stafford at QB. This bunch thinks so. The only way to stop AD is to hold him which the Seahags' O-line did often throughout the game even with the double and triple teams.

Rams Are Exponentially Better With Matthew Stafford At QB

The Los Angeles Rams were already a playoff team last season, thanks to talented players on both sides of the field. They had rookie running back Cam Akers, who finished with 625 yards and two touchdowns.

Giants got hit yards with injuries today.

Jones should clear concussion protocol before the game, but Barkley will likely miss the game.

Who knows which WR’s outside of Toney will be available.

Having troubles against the Giants. Why doesn’t this surprise me.

Looks like McVay's not getting the team prepared is operating again. Giving them too much time off and not enough time in preparation and of course McVay himself with no effective game plan maybe. Five yards rushing and 50% passing in the first quarter. This is typical of all that I stated.

What was the double unsportsmanlike conduct about?

It looked like it could have been on Rahim Moore who was out near the playing field.

Picture perfect drive for a Touchdown!!!!

Stafford still looks a bit off, he nearly got picked, and he has been holding onto the ball too long. Both sacks were coverage sacks.

Every TD drive is perfect

Still could have done without the 1st and 21!

 

[Retroram52]

Well, I guess it takes this team a quarter to get going especially in away games.

Yea Vita, I am still don't understand what he's doing with this slowness in his passing motion. Sooner or later he is going to get picked again. I guess we we have been spoiled by Martz who had Warner and Bulger releasing the football within five seconds or less.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like the Funk man is out with a hamstring problem.

 

[Rambunctious]

RAMS BALL

 

[Retroram52]

OKO!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Score a TD please. Do not settle for a FG!!
