PREGAME Rams at Buccaneers - Pregame Thread

[AvengerRam]

I have to believe that Bucs fans really hate us.

Look at the history.

All time, the Rams are 19-9 against the Bucs.
Since 2012, the Rams are 8-1 against the Bucs.
And, of course, the Rams are 3-0 against the Bucs in the playoffs, including two NFCCGs.

I have to admit... I kind of like the idea that they hate us and groan when they see us on the schedule.

Let's keep that domination going this Sunday!

Gonna be a fun one. Hope to see lots of Rams fans out there....and please for the love of all that is holy can we get some turnovers this game....

 

[CGI_Ram]

For now Dallas and the Giants have solid grips on 2 of 3 wild cards… but the 3rd is wide open.

Tampa still has a good shot at their Division being in the NFC South… It won’t surprise me to see them pull it off.

The Seahawks are a good story, but are they a lock division winner? No.

One week at a time. Let’s go beat the Bucs!

A loss by either team really puts a damper on their chances to make the playoffs. Would love to put another nail in Brady's career ending swoon coffin

It's tough right now, with Bobby Evans at LG and limitations at RB. Darrell Henderson coming off the flu having issues breathing during the game and the Rams had to go with the Little River Band....Outrageous.

Add in that Cam Akers is taking up a roster spot and not playing, just too many issues for our beloved Rams. Only so many adjustments you can make, but not sure if they would start Matt Skura at LG because he's the backup Center so if he gets hurt, you only have Allen.

Chandler Brewer could be another option over Evans, but is he any better? Quite frankly at the end of the year you will see some changes on the staff I'm sure and I wonder if Kevin Carberry will be one of them or they will just feel injuries was the reason, but the evaluation of Bobby Evans by this staff has been flat out wrong and I know it, you know it and the American People know it.

just too many issues for our beloved Rams.

Nailed it on the head there, just too much right now. It's possible we make a strong push to end the back half of season and salvage it. I am still excited to see how some of this youth plays.

Durant didn't play a snap on defense this past game but want to see a lot of him rest of season. I wish someone would ask them about Hardy because would like to know when he'd be back and would really like to get a strong feel for what he actually is before the season ends. Williams and Lake are two more. A lot to still be excited about and to watch for the rest of the season.

Hopefully it works out in our favor and we make a run amongst all the chaos.

@den-the-coach I agree, I know a lot of people here liked Brewer, but I saw nothing from him in preseason to believe he could unseat our current line, including Evans. I'd rather us insert Kologne if he's available.

With the Bucs, I'd challenge them to run on the Rams showing 5-6 man boxes with 2 high. On offense, use the same spread tactics we used in the second half against Carolina. Continue to take shots deep if we get anything that resembles above our average pass blocking this year.

I never want to see Kolone again. I realize the amount of injuries even to someone like Tremayne Anchrum who was a backup to start the season, but I am not so sure that Edwards makes it back and when Shelton comes back they might have to move him to LG instead of RG.

I was hoping for an under the radar trade for a serviceable LG for a 6th round choice, but obviously, that didn't materialize.

Of course it will be nationally televised!!

An unreachable milestone? Tom Brady tops 100,000 passing yards

With over 13,000 postseason yards, Brady set a milestone that may not be reached again -- unless Patrick Mahomes keeps his current pace for 14 more seasons.

www.espn.com

And of course this milestone will be forever immortalized against the Rams!


Now, more than two decades later, Brady finds himself on the verge of the ultimate mark of endurance, a milestone that has never been reached and might never be matched: 100,000 career passing yards (regular season and postseason).

But if there was ever a time for Brady to make it about himself, perhaps this would be it.

Brady is 164 yards shy of reaching the 100,000-yard threshold, a mark that will add yet another layer of separation between the achievements of Brady and everyone else who has played the game. He could reach it as soon as Sunday, when the Buccaneers host the Los Angeles Rams (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS).

That is just incentive to knock his azz to the turf early and often...

 

[dieterbrock]

Since when do they combine cumulative regular & post season stats in order to promote a "milestone"?? Oh right, changing the rules for Brady once again

 

[Merlin]

Brady is licking his fucking chops looking at our film.

 

[raised_fisT]

I hope McVay has got the guys excited for the opportunity to play for .500.

Honestly, October fckin sucked. I'm hoping we can start fresh in November.
Maybe that ass kicking vs 49ers is what we needed. Time to separate the men from the boys.
No more talk... let's see who's ready to play on Sunday. LFG!

Greg Gaines feeling healthy again after shoulder was ‘pretty screwed up’ for 6 weeks

Greg Gaines said his shoulder was injured for the first 6 weeks of the season, but the bye helped him get right

You remember what happened last November, right?

 

[Ellard80]

This is a team we match up well against for whatever reason.

 

[Rams4life]

Man it doesn't get any easier does it? I was hoping we were the last team to beat Brady and that dick came back. Hoping but not feeling good about this one.

 

[Jacobarch]

Gonna be a craps shoot for this game. Depends which teams show up. I have a feeling Brady will be motivated to get back at us for knocking him out of the playoffs last year.

Anyone know when Shelton is due back? lol
