WTF! McVAy is so afraid to apply a killer instinct. Dude just wants to be liked by everybody in the frikin' league. Kick the damn FG for-cryin-out-loud!!

 

[Retroram52]

Do you think this Rams D can stop the Texans before time runs out?

 

[Retroram52]

The answer is no. Texans are going to score yet another TD and go for 2 which they will complete.

A Reprieve! Good grief, D Long is a joke and he got exposed this half for his crappy play.

 

[Retroram52]

Precisely Rambunctious. I guess that swimming test really exposed who is a keeper and who should be shown the door. E Jones is a keeper and he made McSnead look like geniuses. Conversely, this Atwell/Jackson debacle is a complete eff-up and their is going to be some esplaining-to-do-Lucy to the pundits for how they justified picking Atwell in the manner that they did. Since Skowronek is playing pretty damn good, go ahead and trade Jackson and package Atwell and D. Long in a deal for Myles Jack!

 

[Retroram52]

Well with all of that, Boyz and girl we are 7-1 and on a collision course to take on Arizona for the division in a couple of weeks.

 

[Retroram52]

Our next opponent, the Tennessee Titans are tied with the Colts with 1:35 remaining.

 

[Retroram52]

Pick-six and the Titans go up by a TD in Indy.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, Wentz and the Colts tie the game with 22 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

I really now think that Jackson is not going anywhere since there are no real takers and now that Atwell is injured, Jackson will shut his mouth and McVay (if he is smart) will play Jackson more and everyone will be happy. This doesn't mean the Rams won't engage in a trade of their own in a couple of days. Here is a snippet from a pundit.

"Sean McVay says he knows there’s been some conversations, but otherwise has no update on the DeSean Jackson trade situation."

 

[Retroram52]

We finished the game today with 467 total yards on offense, 165 yards rushing, and Stafford, who looked really comfortable and in a zone to some degree, finished with 21/32 for 306 passing yards, with 3 TDs and no INTs.

 

[Retroram52]

We are in a 4-game winning streak so we are def in groove. We are going to need it to face the Titans next week at SoFi Stadium.

 

[Retroram52]

Titans-Colts go to OT.

 

[Retroram52]

Titans picked-off Wentz for the second time and our bow in a position to kick a FG to win it.

 

[Retroram52]

Titans win it on an OT FG. 6-2 Titans will be coming to SoFi to play the 7-1 Rams.

 

[Battlelyon]

Nice relaxing win, Van Jefferson is an upgrade on Jackson, while Jones is more of a true MLB and also an upgrade on Young. This team continues with solid moves.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Jones looked great in his first game as a starter.

Which begs the question: Why didn’t they start him sooner? It’s not like Reeder and Young were lighting it up at the position.

Some of McVay’s decisions make no sense.

You give them credit for drafting the guy, but the decision not to start him sooner is baffling.

Same could be said about Garrett who looked good in preseason. Now, their rotation is being productive, by why not have Garrett part of that rotation?

 

[Retroram52]

Here is yet another draft scenario gaining traction. This one with Zac Taylor and his troublesome O-line. We get another DB and a fifth roiunder. Should be a fourth rounder since we don't have many of those.

Will Bengals deal for LA Rams OL Bobby Evans in next 48 hours?

The latest LA Rams Rumor suggests that the Cincinnati Bengals may attempt to acquire LA Rams OL Bobby Evans before the NFL Trade Deadline.
