Best performing unit since the Super Bowl year.. they have really, really meshed.
HOW they constructed this line is wild.. and the draft investment is truly incredible.
2 fifth round picks, one fourth round pick and one second round pick... that's the draft capital the Rams have used to aquire their current five starters. Yes, they're spending money.. but not overspending.
It's an incredible success story and they're crushing it in both phases... and now have 2 RBs who understand the blocking scheme and are talented enough to take advantage of it.

Especially notable? Alaric Jackson. Some people assume these guys take a step back in their effort when they get paid.. well.. AJ got his money and is producing his best season yet as a tackle. A freaking UDFA at that position on a good value contract. Yes, the blood clots are a thing.. but his play is excellent.

I just want to give this unit props for being so damn good this season.. which is critical with a 37 year old QB.

I do think they'll need to invest a higher pick in a tackle this offseason who can be a starter, eventually... and It's always good to draft for depth/development in the mid-rounds.

But... again, for this year? What a hell of a job they're doing.

Last night's loss assured they won't be division champs for the first time since 2015!!! Nine straight divisions titles, 7 with Mahomes, 2 with Alex Smith, all with Andy Reid. Going into this weekend there were 11 AFC teams with a legit shot at the postseason. I think we can forget Cincinnati at 4-9. Indianapolis is going to have to have a remarkable performance by Riley Leonard to make the postseaon. I think that may be asking too much. Baltimore has 7 losses now and they looked like crappola yesterday, though I thought that reversal on the Likely TD was bizarre. Even if we say Cincinnati is done, Indianapolis and Baltimore are on their way to being done that still leaves 8 teams. Let's say New England and Buffalo are going to get in. Pittsburgh in the North. Jacksonville and Houston in the South. Then the Chiefs have to hope the Chargers shit the bed. And that is quite possible. They play Philly tonight, @ Kansas City next week, @ Dallas, vs Houston and finish @Denver (who may be resting players by then to save LAC). Kansas City plays the Chargers, Tennessee, Denver and Las Vegas. I can see a scenario where they win 4 to get to 10-7. And the tiebreaker will probably come down to common opponents, which won't bode well for the Chargers. This bears watching because everybody is counting KC out and they might shock some folks. I wouldn't bet on it but......

RAMS WIN, RAMS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!

PUKA WITH TWO TOUCHDOWNS! K-WILL WITH ONE! PARKINSON WITH AN ACTUAL SOLID GAME! CORUM WITH TWO, INCLUDING A 48 YARD RUN!

AND THE DEFENSE CAME TO PLAY! LANDMAN WITH A PICK! And only ten points until the backups came in. They stepped up, big time!

Offensive line deserves a huge amount of credit for this game.

And we did so well that Jimmy G came in for mop-up duty. All in all? A good day. On to Detroit! Let's beat Captain Caveman and those fuckers!

Expanded to 12 and still screwed up. Should have went straight to 16 teams and no byes. ND got screwed.

He was hired in 2007 and he's never had a losing season. That sounds awesome (at first), and it's been used to paint him in a very favorable light (rightly so) quite often by media folks. The question should be asked, "what does that mean?" Aren't double digit win seasons the goal? He's had his share of those too, 11 times. But most likely, after this season, he'll have 8 seasons with less than 10 wins. And with a closer look at the most recent past, he's only had 3 double digit win seasons in the last 7 (3 of 8 after this year). I'm pretty sure we've never heard Mike Tomlin claim no losing seasons is something to hang your hat on. That's probably because he doesn't "toot his own horn" or aspiring to mediocrity is not a good look. In the past 18 years that Tomlin has been a head coach (2007-2024), 58 teams with winning records have not made the playoffs. That is an average of more than 3 per year. How does 9-7, .500 or 9-8 look along side that fact?

When we factor in Tomlins post season record, he (and his "no losing seasons") look a lot better. 18 years, 12 postseasons, 2 Conference Championships, 1 Super Bowl win. But again, what have you don't for me lately? Since losing the SB to the Packers in his 4th season (read: 2 Super Bowls in his first 4 years, ala Nick Siriani), his postseason record looks like this.....14 years, 9 postseason appearances, 3-9 record, 0 for his last 5 (over his last 8 years, soon to be 9). He took a team that had gone 149-90-1 over the previous 15 seasons under Bill Cowher, with 2 SB appearances and a SB win (2005) and kept them more than relevant for a decade. Is it now an old message he's delivering that doesn't seem to resonate in today's NFL or with today's NFL players? Ownership is going to have to decide by March when his option year (2027) has to be picked up or not.

Like most things, it's more complicated than that. Why would the Steelers pick up an option year with the recent record they've had? A symbolic company gold watch? If they passed on the option, would Tomlin want to coach as a lame duck in 2026? He didn't forget how to coach, so it's got to run deeper than that. The Steelers front office rarely dove into the free agency market. They preferred drafting and development, mostly on the defensive side of the ball. Lately that's changed but their choices have not been the greatest. In the past 3 years they've brought in 3 quarterbacks. Two close to collecting social security than And the trades they've made reek of desperation. Perhaps as Roethlisberger recently said, both the Steelers and Tomlin would do well with a breath of fresh air. Pittsburgh needs to find a young and/or bright offensive mind. The next Ben Johnson might be too much to ask but that McCarthy guy might do well, bringing not only offensive but hometown flavor to the team. Tomlin would be great in NY where the Giants are in desperate need of some structure and discipline. Of course they'd also need a smart young OC to help Dart ascend properly.

Now watch the Steelers go into Baltimore today and beat the doors off the Ravens!!!!!

Article on option year

1. Indiana ..... I've heard talking heads speak of Ohio St. 2025 defense as "generational" and if that's true, what do you call IU's defense?
2. Ohio St.......I can't do anything other than switch the top two teams after that close game last night. OSU doesn't deserve to drop more than 1 spot.
3. Texas Tech.....Georgia played great vs Alabama last night but all that did was even the score 1-1. Tech looks dominant.
4. Georgia

5. Oregon
6. Texas A & M.....they dropped from 3 to 7 after losing to a very good Texas team? Too far.
7. Mississippi
8. Oklahoma

9 Miami.......okay, you'all ran your mouth...you're ahead of Notre Dame....now you get Oklahoma!!!!
10. Texas......as deserving as any team in the top 20 to be in the playoff
11. Notre Dame......hey, you get a chance to redeem your lost to A & M early this season!!
12. Vanderbilt......better and more deserving than anybody below them.

13. Alabama
14. Utah
15. BYU
16. USC
17 Michigan
18. Arizona
19. Iowa
20. Virginia

Sorry, JMU, Tulane, BYU.....we don't give out participation trophies.

Just wonderful!

Thought I would start a thread on these two big games today. Can discuss numerous potential Rams draft picks, especially the main two QBs, Simpson & Mendoza.

Texas Tech destroyed BYU. How many takeaways? They look really good. A deserving team.

Now who's next to join the tourney? Virginia? James Madison?

I am slacking this week friends.

I have no ideas at all.

Cardinals are extremely injured.

What are you all planning to make?

What a great discussion. I love both of these guys as Rams, but I want to really say that I love the style of Demarco Farr. He is so good at bringing out the best in players, and opens up great conversations. Enjoy, boys.

8-4 Philadelphia: @Chargers; vs Las Vegas; @Washington; @Buffalo; vs Washington
6-6-1 Dallas: Lost to Lions; vs Minnesota; vs Chargers; @ Washington; @ NY Giants

10 teams; 4 division winners; 3 of the remaining 6 in the postseason.
Lots of games between the contenders. So many are getting another loss or two..
If we figure Carolina and Dallas are the most likely to drop out, that leaves 4 division champs and 3 of the remaining 4 teams. So who would be that 4th team?

Impeach

It's the Mountain West Conference, so very few college football fans give a shit. But New Mexico got screwed IMHO. The conference had a 4 way tie between Boise St., UNLV, San Diego St and New Mexico, all with 6-2 conference records. Overall Boise was 8-4, UNLV was 10-2, New Mexico and S. Diego St were 9-3. Head to head is the first tie breaker in the MWC.

Boise St. beat New Mexico, UNLV and lost to San Diego St.
New Mexico lost to Boise and beat both UNLV and San Diego St.
UNLV lost to both New Mexico and Boise, didn't play San Diego St.
S.Diego state beat Boise and lost to New Mexico.

Among the 4 teams, head to head stacks up this way.

Boise 2-1
N. Mexico 2-1
UNLV 0-2
S.Diego St 1-1

The MWC commissioner explained they use the same computer metrics formula as the CFP committee. So is it any wonder, the team who didn't beat any of the other 3 teams they're tied with, got into the CCG? The travesty in all this is New Mexico has sucked for years. They hire former Wisconsin OL / Idaho HC Jason Eck (26-13 three years there) and he turns the program around in his first year. They finished the season strong winning their final 6 games. Boise, UNLV and SD St finished 4-2. Even though "it's just the MWC" I feel bad for New Mexico. Apparently the CFP computer metrics formula even sucks when it's not determining who plays for the National Championship!!!!
