Mari and I had to put our 14 year old lab down yesterday. Everybody's dog is the best dog ever - I get that, and actually, I believe it. Reason isn't important, but she was in obvious pain - spine/hip problems - and it was time. Fortunately (a relative term), my Vet is a friend, and he came by the house, so we were with her at the end.

I added an office on to my house in 2006, and have worked at home ever since, so Mari, Roxy and I have basically been together 24/7 for a long time now. I've had to put dogs down before, but this time is as painful as it gets. Maybe it's my age (67 in a couple weeks), but I don't think so. Read a lot on the web yesterday about grief over losing a pet, and would recommend that to anyone dealing with this. Crying is not an option either - it is required.

I don't usually share this kind of stuff, and don't know how cathartic it is (if at all), but the attitude of all the members here is unique as forums go, and and I just felt like honoring Rox.

Y'all give your dog a hug - he or she probably deserves it.

We're gonna be playing a good team, on the road, three time zones away. With possibly 1 or 2 important DB's tied behind our backs.

I expect us to play well, but eventually get beat by a better team at home.
Rams 29
Colts 27

going to get caught up awarding previous winners and make this a weekly thing again


Let's see whatcha got this week!

The songs that I love are mostly from the 60's to the early 90's but I'm always eager to be introduced to a an artist, band, or song I've never listened to. So bring it on!

What better way to kick things off than AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock(We Salute You)."

Heading out from CT. To see tomorrow's game. Can't wait for the game, originally when I planned going to this game I was thinking it would be a relaxing game to see as I was thinking it would be an easy game.Things have changed and I'm already stressing...Looking forward to a great game..Any suggestions for tailgating before the game ? Go Rams !!

Kudos to the dev on the bone color scheme. It looks great on my phone.

Now if only you could make the text field bone white as well...

I was just looking at foods that are synonymous with Indianapolis. . . I saw these pork tenderloin sandwiches.

I think that is the route I will be going this week.

Two weeks in a row with pork in the meal.

What do you all have planned? What are you thinking ?

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals — 8:15 PM ET

RamsOnDemand Sportsbook:

So this discussion isn't what one may think when first reading the title. I'm so fuckin tired of the lame ass Rams fans that try to profiteer off of the Whiner games by selling their tickets to the highest bidder. I typically go to Santa Clara to watch our Rams play those asshats but when I started looking at ticket prices because I can't watch in Santa Clara but decided to watch us play at SoFi (I do like nice seats), they are way fucking expensive and tons of folks are selling. Unless you have a real valid reason not to go, fuck those people. Those aren't true Rams fans in my eyes. No wonder we constantly look stupid with a sea of red at our home stadium. Vent over.

'

We don't have any Giant fans as members here so I wanted to share something that I was just told.

I know a serious diehard Giants fan who has hired a banner plane to fly a special message over their stadium this Sunday between the hours of 11:15am and Noon.

The banner will say - "Mr. Mara, Dumpster Fire Still Burning".

This is a friend of mine doing this. He tried to do it last year but the pilot canceled at the last minute. So, this time around he found a different pilot and everything is 100% set and ready.

This is the kind of fandom that I find so incredible and I respect it so much even though I hate the Giants.

Keep your eyes peeled for this on Sunday.

Fuck it. I'm tired of our OL being the bottom of the barrel each year and getting punked. I know we need our future QB but at this point I'm just ready to nip it in the butt and reset it so it can eventually be up there with the Lions, Eagles, Cowboys etc. Rob is too old and can't handle a bull rush anymore and Shelton is undersized. We need to stop rotating through these late round prospects hoping that we eventually find a diamond in the rough.

We had this game. It was ours with a high percentage FG to win the game and our kicker was blocked from 41yards. We can all argue about McVay's play calling, but none of that would have mattered if we made that kick.

The other true statement is that no lead is safe with McVay as HC. He doesn't like to pile on the other team when we are up two scores or more. It doesn't matter if the other team is good or bad, he changes the play calling that often results in 3 and outs or FGs. Then the other teams race up in scoring to cause us all heartburn.
This was the worst Rams' loss in the regular season that I can remember. I am not watching any sports show this week at least, maybe more. I may not post here much...we'll see.

Your eyes didn't deceive you. Shelton is awful. Dedich got abused. I never understood the Shelton signing. Loved the Poona Ford signing from the jump and that looks good so far. Landsman too.

the Big Ten has been doing this for a few years now

Big Ten calls them Rivalry Games

now that the SEC has started scheduling 9 conference games , and the conference has expanding

like the Big Ten , the SEC has now scheduled protected rival games , were each team will play certain schools every year ,

Jericho, an apocalypse with a twist, i like it and still watching first of two seasons
train

Tis what's crazy about the nfl.

Cee Dee Lamb drops 4 passes and they win by 4.

Kelce drops one right to eagle defender at 1 yard line.

Rams implode... can't kick one of two FG's to win the game.

The Eagles are a good team - but all the bounces going their way right now.

I'm starting a new thread after yesterday's loss.
I see all the frustration and I understand the criticism of the Rams.

What I saw yesterday was a SuperBowl caliber team.

Against the defending SB champs at their field, an early int.

The Rams then showed who they are.

Yes they had the chance to put them away and didn't.
They let them get ahead.

The Rams then got into field goal position (usually a chip shot) and didn't close the deal. But should have been (over 80% of the time on that play alone a W).

The Rams are young on D and getting better.

The O will get better. Avila out doesn't help.

Specials teams: I don't expect another blocked FG all year.

I hate losing. That said the Rams can win it all this year

First off, yeah I am as pissed as anyone we lost yesterday...however

In our first super bowl season, we were 6-0 and the toast of the NFL, promptly lose AT TN, come back to beat them in the SB

In our last SB we lose to SF twice, once in heartbreaking fashion in OT, up 17-0 and lose the 2 seed!!!. We come back to beat them in the NFC Champ game, win the SB.

This just might be the BEST thing to happen for this team. Yeah we win, we are 3-0, and everyone is reading the press clippings that this is THE team to beat in the NFL. We get all fat and happy in week 3.....

Well now this leaves a chip on their shoulder ALL season, we know we are better than the Eagles, the Eagles know we are better than the Eagles. Rams know they are better than the Eagles.

Take a look at Kyren Williams interview after the game, its on Rams Youtube, this is going to keep the guys hungry and more focused throughout the season.

Onto the Colts.
