Game Thread: Week 8, The Los Angeles Rams @ The Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium, Sunday, 10/29/23, 10:00AM, PDT

After another game where the offense died in the Second Half along with the Defense, the Rams travel to Dallas to take on the Caboys. If McShitferBrains doesn't fix this offense and his team in general in the Second Half of games, the season will be pretty much toast. The Rams had a productive running game and Freeman is the big stud RB we have needed for a long time. It would benefit the Rams if they go back to the run game against the Caboys. Why McShitferBrains didn't go back to Nacua in the Second Half because the Stillers' were shutting down Kupp, is another mystery to me. The Rams had better solve some if their issues or the season will continue into the toilet!!

Second straight week the Rams get a team coming off their bye. Who makes these schedules, lol?

Looks as though the Rams are working out several kickers today. Havs, Crosby, and no mention of anyone else.

I think everyone is now understanding that a significant portion of our problems lies at the feet of the ShitferBrains twins and McShitferBrains during the game!!

It definitely looks as though the Alaric Jackson experiment is done. There are calls for a LT trade such as Trent Brown from the Patriots and my favs, Garrett Bolles with the Broncos. Jackson is consistently being overwhelmed with Avila covering Jackson's miscues alot!

But if the Rams are not going to give-up a number One pick, maybe injury boy can fill in until they find a decent replacement.

Also, there are calls for the Rams to trade for a QB because Stafford is getting some criticism that he may be done after the last couple of weeks' performances with INTs and all! He is also banged-up again.

And where in the hell did Bennett go. Is this guy going to be another wasted draft pick??

I'm not buying that. He missed two very makeable FGs and an extra point this past weekend on his home turf with no weather issues and good snaps, doinking one off the upright. The other two misses were worse.

Stafford is owed too much to go anywhere. An improvement at backup QB (or at least a viable one) would always be a welcome move.

That article was spot on.

McVay’s play calling is terribly inconsistent.

He runs when they should pass, and passes when they should run.

He keeps saying “ we will learn from our mistakes “, but it’s been 7 seasons and he hasn’t learned anything.

To be fair, the Steelers have a hell of a pass rush across the board. A lot of OL struggle against their defensive front.

And, this is only his 6th or 7th game starting. He may improve with more game experience.

 

[Rambunctious]

Long is off IR so another cornerback will be available soon.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, the Rams passed on Carson Wentz who remains unemployed.

And if you want to give Jackson a pass due to Shitsburgh's D-Line, then you'll have to do it again against Dallas who also have a good D-Line.

 

[Retroram52]

The Rams are going to ride an injured Stafford right into a top 5 draft pick next year. They could do themselves a favor to commit more to the run until the bye week and "rest" Stafford so he is not throwing the football 50 times a game but that isn't going to happen with McShitferBrains' obsession with the passing game!!

 

[Retroram52]

Now it appears Havenstein is banged-up. We had better find a back-up and Notebum is not it.

 

[Jermaine133]

the sentiment should still be the same whether the bye wk is wk2 or wk 11, execute the game plan and beat the opponent. Team has forgotten about that.

Lets stop making excuses for this guy, the fact is he is not a starting NFL LT. The guy went undrafted for a reason....hmmmm he sucks and is only worth being a stop gap player. He's started 6 or 7 games and looks lost in most of them, that's a large enough sample size for me to show his ass the bench or the door.

IT seems that way, once we are 3-5...let the tanking begin. I just dont see Stafford doing any wonders this year, he's reverted back to his old Detroit ways. This formula of pass pass pass, run , run , pass, run, pass, pass, run, isn't working especially when you have a guy in which you don't know which version you are getting. IF the rams are within a TD before the half ends then its almost a guarantee to lose because either shitforbrains will throw the game away with his play calling or Stafford falls asleep at the wheel and throws the back breaking interceptions. Pick your poison on how you want to lose here on on because that is what it seems. Stafford is done, there are no more mvp like seasons left for this guy, not to mention the shit ton of money it'll cost to rid him.

 

[Jermaine133]

Thing is you would think that a good coach would see that his QB doesn't have it and modify the game plan to better put us in position to win. Current idiot coach cannot do that. sigh.......where is Dick Vermeil when you need him.

 

[Retroram52]

I totally agree Jermaine on both posts. The Jackson experiment is done and he is going to get overwhelmed against the Dallas pass rush as well. Here are some trade options at the deadline coming up. The Trent Brown deal is doable but the Rams want to hang onto their Number Ones and Twos this year but hey, the CaBoys got a Snooperbowl player/winner CB for a fifth rounder this week. So maybe. Here are a few choices to improve at the trade deadline.

NFL Rumors: 4 trade deadline targets who can help Rams get back on track

Seven weeks into the season, and the Los Angeles Rams have looked far more competitive than many thought they would be. At 3-4, the Rams are well within reach o

This will never happen but it is high time that McShitferBrains turns the offensive play-calling over to Mike LaFleur. The offense should go to a run-centered offense until they get back from the bye week. It will never happen but it is an effective way to preserve Stafford and the O-line from injuries and further new injuries and our O-line is pretty good at run blocking. We have a two-headed RB monster approach. Freeman is a big back that can pound the crap out of the defense and Henderson is multi-faceted. If LaFleur flounders, McShitferBrains can always take the reins back on the fly.

I don't know why that is so hard for this idiot to understand??!! He is so hellbent on proving to everyone else that he really is a genius when everyone else can see that he isn't and his play-calling is sporadic and irrelevant to the game's purpose. He runs when he should pass and vice -versa and he accomplishes little except to get people injured.

He can't seem to understand what the game is giving him and adapt to that. McShitferBrains just comes in and calls plays that have little or no relevance to what the D is giving him and then when he does succeed, he won't continue with it until the D stops it. Just confusing as hell and he comes off looking like an idiot because all he wants to do is pass, pass, pass. The dude really is an idiot!!
