My Ram hangover says otherwise today . Lol I will hate watching football for a few days .

Higbee catches the TD and Sammy catches the TD, went right through his hands, 2 plays that's 14 pts. But that's football. Great year, LOVED THE BEATDOWN IN SEATTLE! Will be awesome to see what these coaches and this team can do with this season under it's belt and a full offseason! GO RAMS!!!

Bump.

Lot more positives then negatives this year. Rams as division champs and playoffs was a great feeling.

Until next year...

Well good then. That's money well spent. The team is clearly going to need him.

This is the name I remember most from the age of four or five in my early life.

My Mom used to talk about the LA Rams and Deacon Jones quite a bit. She loved Deacon the most, and later had a real affinity for Little house on the prairie. ;]

Now the 2017 Rams played a playoff game on the same field he once roamed and killed Quarterbacks.

Mom would be so happy.

I'm quite happy as well.

Shoot, I'd take him to Vegas...

and bet the opposite of whatever he tells me.

Tonight was tough, but not totally unexpected. Bad ending to a great year. Tough schedule next year, too. A lot of work ahead.

Tough decisions too. At this point, cb is up in the air. Who do you sign and who walks? Webster gets hurt a lot and Tru is gone if he wants top money. I say resign Joyner and NRC maybe and look for a fa cb. Maybe Hill or Petersen move up.

Don’t know about Watkins. Yeah he draws a top defender and needs more touches but I don’t see him earning elite money.

Really want to see us find some better interior lb play. I like OA and Barron, but not sure we have the run stuffer we need there.

Then you have to start thinking about a new LT and C at some point as well.

Crucial offseason - they nailed the last one. Let’s hope they can do it again.

Btw, enjoyed this forum a lot this year - looking forward to 2018 season with you guys!

.i apologise to all these fuckheads that said playoff experience matters. the players looked off their game in the 1st qtr. by the time they woke up it was 13-0. they weren't good enough to get out of it.

I was one of those fuck heads and I accept your apology.

As angry sad and annoyed as I am rt now I do see the bigger picture I just hope they can continue to hit on draft picks as well as sprinkle in a key free agent or two especially for depth. This hurt but who thought we would even have this opportunity this season so is at it is. As far as this team well I hope they can build on this and I'm preying that this isn't a one hit wonder not only will our free agents be important but league will not be surprised by the Rams next year and it seems (and we know things can change) that our schedule next year is pretty brutal so here's hoping for the best. Thanks guys for a great season it's been fun watching the games and chiming in on here it was all so new to me lol but hard as it is for us rt now congrats on a great season and thanks again. Will be on here constantly for rumors and random chats but for now I need to cool off lol

IDK what you are looking for then. The narrative for the Rams success vs. SF's season since the Jimmy Garropolo trade. The narrative is what my OP was.



That isn't my point. No one is saying Jimmy hasn't been impressive. I'm not trying to down play a 5 game win streak, either. My whole shtick is the narrative of the Rams' success this year and SF's. SF has been instantly gratified. The Rams were questioned about the quality of the opponents they played early in the season (even though SF played the same opponents). Jared Goff's success was tied to Sean McVay's somehow exploiting the system (but in SF it's the pure genius of Jimmy Garropolo and Kyle Shanahan). Plus others that I posted above.

It's a double standard and I'm calling it out.

Maybe. It could be because Jimmy G is hot. But it could also be because the Rams have been the chick pick for years due to their obvious talent, and maybe the media is bored with them after all these years of assuming they’d finally put it together? (Of course the media failed to realize the handicap of Fisher as a coach)

Parade of shame.... awesome idea.

Cleveland has some of the best fans in the world to put up with this crap at all.

Andy Reid is the Jeff Fisher of the playoffs.

Nice job Rodney Harrison..."the Rams secondary is just not that good. " We may not be epic but fuckin a they're pretty damn good to me. Ugh. I'm reqdy for this shit

I'd rather play Seattle
Atlanta is scary because if they are "on" they can beat anyone. They blew the SB but were killing them most of the game. I don't think home vs road matters for us in the playoffs (I mean I hope the crowd helps for this game)
I'd much rather be home than on the road against Minnesota right now. It's freaking cold there!

How are you so sure about this?

Like 98.7%

I used to go to a pretty cool bar down by the waterfront under the freeway called Telaquipacci’s. I thinks it’s gone now.

But you could go there!

I say just bar hop in your Aaron Donald jersey in Pioneer Square.

Nice guys finish sacked...

That's really interesting to see. It reminded me of this:
http://www.espn.com/blog/nfcwest/post/_/id/125257/rams-qb-jared-goff-you-can-learn-from-the-bad

It really shows what a leader Goff is, and he basically predicted the future:

They weeded out the weeds in the team that's for sure. Useless players they were.

.

At seahawks stadium, our Wild Card Game watching us sweep that hawks for the 3rd time that year, the lamentation of the SeaFans was Ambrosia for the soul!

I'd say they deserve a bit more credit for a guy like Goff then they got. I remember leading up to the draft the over whelming belief was that both goff and wentz were mediocre QB's at best. Shows how little the average fan knows. Seems every year people call the QB class "garbage".

I was unable to even try to read your post, because of your avatar picture.

Sure, the old time Raider fans, who were band wagoners in the 80's, probably won't change. But as I remember, the true sustaining popularity of the Raiders in LA was cemented after their Super Bowl wins. The only Super Bowl ever won in LA, as good as the Rams were, they never sealed the deal.

Today is the real beginning, where the city is starting to thrill over the possibility of how far the Rams go. Take it all the way to Minneapolis (2nd time), and the Raiders luster will wane and the Chargers will be always be pretenders and interlopers.

So you obviously know what MiLB means. I don’t really broadcast that. Well done
