Where To Draft Our First Pick Of the 2025 Draft?

The Rams started out slowly. The O-line was a mess, and the young defense hadn't gotten their "sea legs" yet. But when it was all said and done, the Rams won the NFC West, able to rest starters on the last week, and won a playoff game, and was a single play away from advancing to the NFCCG. Not bad considering AD retired, the rash of injuries to the O-line and receiving corps.

I believe our defense it championship caliber now. With another year of experience and maybe some upgrades, this defense can be rock solid for cheap at least two more seasons.

Our offense is still solid.

Where would we upgrade in the draft? I keep seeing TE as the spot, but Higbeast is still effective.

Do we find a stud LB? Solid CB? RB?

IMHO, we need to upgrade some spots on the O-line, run stopping LB, CB and eventually, we need someone in the wings to replace Stafford. I would be okay with Jimmy G for another season, but there needs to be some youth in the backup QB position.

Memento's Just Coming Off the Loss Mock Offseason.

Well, it's the end of the season. Let's get into things, shall we?

Cut:

Colby Parkinson
Darious Williams

(Shamelessly stealing from @jrry32 - although he stole from me first (with Hollin Pierce of Rutgers, haha. Just kidding, but I did post about him first in a mock draft, for serious.) Parkinson was a horrible signing, and D-Will's play fell off a cliff.)

Our Re-signings:

Alaric Jackson - franchise tag

Michael Hoecht - two years, 5.5 million

Tyler Johnson - one year, 3.5 million

Dylan McMahon - ERFA

(Assuming everyone else is gone, and I'm thinking to use the tag on A-Jax on a prove-it contract. I like Robinson as a player, but I can't get behind a drunk driver as a starter for personal reasons (that have very recently been made especially personal). Sorry, D-Rob, but Johnson is younger and has no off-the-field issues.)

Free Agent Signings:

Nick Bolton, ILB, Chiefs - five years, 50 million total. (8 million first year).

(There, we've solved our inside linebacker problem, and didn't even have to spend a pick. Bolton will be thirty at the end of the deal, but I think it's worth it to improve our defense.)

Eric Stokes, CB, Packers - two years, 9.5 million total.

(Taking a chance on Stokes, who fits our system and is still quite young. He's had injury and inconsistency concerns, but he has great potential as a man-cover corner. Competing with Durant and Emmanuel Forbes.)

Elijah Molden, CB, Chargers - one year, 4.5. million.

(Another chancy signing, but I've always liked Molden, and he's only twenty-five. He's had injury concerns, and he's on the smaller side, but is a solid tackler and a threat to pick off passes. Competing with Durant, Forbes, and Stokes.)

Leki Fotu, NT, Jets - two years, five million (second year can void).

(Big-bodied nose tackle (335 lbs.) to replace BB3. Has injury concerns, but liked him a lot in college, and has shown flashes. Even on a two-year contract (which is really a one-year deal for 2.5 million), he could very well be worth it.)

TRADES:

Cooper Kupp to the New England Cheatriots for #77 overall.

(I know we're losing a veteran and someone people should be a Ram for life. I'll remind you that we were shopping Kupp this season, and teams had interest. I have an idea on what to do with this pick.)

Kyren Williams to the Denver Broncos for #85 overall.

(Yeah, I've admittedly soured on K-Will, and I have a better idea on what to do with our running back position as a whole. Denver badly needs a good running back. It fits.)

Rob Havenstein and 2027 fifth to the Minnesota Vikings for 2027 fourth.

(Before you shoot the messenger, please note that I'm all for keeping Havenstein in most of my mocks. But let's face facts: he's thirty-three, costs a fair bit of our cap, and we should be having real talks about his successor. Why not now?)

Jonah Jackson and #191 to the New York Giants for #154 overall.

(Yes, shamelessly stealing from Jerry again because it makes sense.)

Derion Kendrick and #203 overall to the Detroit Lions for #226 overall, #229 overall, and #245 overall)

(Sorry, not sorry, DK fans. He's gone. He's gone, and he's never coming back. I don't care that I'm giving up the sixth for a bunch of sevenths to get rid of his ass. His shit attitude would fit perfectly with Captain Caveman and the Ankle Biting Kittens.)

#100 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders for Michael Mayer.

(Fixed the tight end problem. Mayer was rated quite highly as a receiver and blocker, and he's been killed by poor quarterbacking play from the Raiders. Imagine what he could do with Stafford.)

#26 overall to the Buffalo Bills for #56 overall, #62 overall, #107 overall, and #130 overall.

(Trading the first-round pick to Buffalo for two late-seconds and an early fourth and a late fourth. Figure that fits the trade chart, especially since Buffalo trades up for an edge rusher to help their defense.)

DRAFT:

#56 overall - Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green.

(Would I select Fannin, even though I already took Mayer? Yes, but only because McVay's used more 12 personnel than ever before during this year. He's slowly evolving his offense, and Fannin would bring much needed speed as what Gerald Everett was envisioned to do for our offense.)

#62 overall - Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State.

(Royals can flat out fly; he's run a 4.29 before. He has excellent YAC ability. And he's much bigger than Atwell (6'0", 205 lbs.) and is a better receiver. I'm a huge fan of him with a trade down.)

#77 overall - Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State.

(Judkins is the K-Will replacement, and yes, I'm dead serious with this. He's a physical, punishing runner who has untapped potential in the receiving game. More than that, he can fly as well; he's posted 4.49 times at 220 lbs.)

#85 overall - Anthony Belton, OT, North Carolina State.

(Have been a fan of Belton. He will absolutely bury you in the running game, and his pass protection notably improved. I think he could be a solid eventual replacement for A-Jax, just in case.)

#90 overall - Roc Taylor, WR, Memphis.

(Taylor's been drawing rave reviews lately. Huge (6'3", 215 lbs.), fast (4.39 time) receiver with great hands. Needs work away from the ball, but this is a potential value pick.)

#107 overall - Kyle McCord, QB, Syracuse.

(I'd love Jaxson Dart, but let's face it: he's a first-round pick in the making, and someone I think could (and should) go top five over Sanders and Milroe (especially Sanders). McCord could have a similar rise. He reminds me a bit of 2021 Stafford, actually; big, accurate arm, not entirely mobile (but not averse to taking what he can get), solid processing time, gunslinger, etc.)

#125 overall - Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State.

(Porter is a big (6'4", 200 lbs.) former wideout who is very raw, but well worth a shot at development. Had three interceptions and two passes defensed in limited time, and he's very fast for a corner (has Iowa's 4A 400 meter track's record.)

#130 overall - Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College.

(Trapilo caught my eye at the Mizzou/Boston College game, so I looked more into him...and the more I looked, the more I saw Havenstein. 6'8" is impossible to teach, and he has superb leverage and technique. Not the best feet, but he wins the same way Big Rob does.)

#154 overall - Rocket Sanders, RB, South Carolina.

(Sanders is a big back (6'2", 230 lbs.) who lives up to his name; he can absolutely fly (has recorded 4.44). Hasn't had the best years since his sophomore year, but is an underrated speed/power threat whom, at his best, can dominate in a similar fashion to S-Jax. I'd love to see him on kickoff returns with Schrader to start.)

#202 overall - Simeon Barrow Jr., DE/DT, Miami (Florida).

(Count me as more concerned about Fiske's health and lack of pass-rush inside behind him than adding nose tackle beef. Barrow can get after the quarterback (career of sixteen sacks), but is also a dedicated run stuffer who has a keen grasp of leverage. I could see him well outperforming this draft slot.)

#226 overall - Zakhari Franklin, WR, Illinois.

(Loved him at UTSA. Franklin is a silky-smooth route runner with excellent hands, really sneaky speed (runs a 4.49) and underrated YAC ability. He's very slight, but he could end up being a solid receiver.)

#229 overall - Garrett Dellinger, OG, Louisiana State.

(Solid-sized guard (6'5", 325 lbs.) who - along with Leveston - could be the backup that J-Jax wasn't for cheaper.)

#245 overall - Keondre Jackson, SAF, Illinois State.

(Big (6'3", 215 lbs.) safety who is built for the big nickel position. Was Illinois State's heart and soul on defense with 98 total tackles (58 solo), three picks (one of them a pick-six), 1.5 sacks (three the year before), and two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.)

Roster:

QB: Matt Stafford, Kyle McCord.

(No more Stetson Bennett IV! We finally have a succession plan behind Stafford, and I hope he teaches McCord everything he knows.)

RB: Blake Corum, Quinshon Judkins, Cody Schrader (KR), Rocket Sanders.

(Yes, I'm keeping Schrader over Rivers, particularly because of the KR position, what of it? Corum gets the starting job for now, but Judkins will get carries, and Sanders and Schrader will factor in as well.)

WR: Puka Nacua, Jalen Royals, Jordan Whittington, Tyler Johnson, Xavier Smith (PR), Roc Taylor, Zakhari Franklin.

(Yes, Whittington finally takes the slot that was meant for him all along! Seriously though, there's speed to kill, and we've gotten Stafford some solid weapons. I could imagine Franklin way outperforming his draft slot, much like Nacua or Whittington, and Taylor is an absolute freak at receiver who could add even more speed.)

TE: Tyler Higbee, Michael Mayer, Harold Fannin Jr.

(Finding a blocking tight end might be a need down the line, but with Mayer and Fannin (and Higbee teaching them the ropes), I can't imagine a better starting group for us.)

OL: Alaric Jackson, Steve Avila, Beaux Limmer, Kevin Dotson, Anthony Belton, Justin Dedich, Dylan McMahon, KT Leveston, Ozzy Trapilo, Garrett Dellinger.

(I'm assuming that McClendon is dealt along with a 2026/2027 pick for an earlier 2026/2027 pick, unless there's injury concerns. We'll see how A-Jax fares under the franchise tag, but Belton and Trapilo at least give us options if he does fail. I'm sticking with Limmer at center because he was a rookie thrust into a competitive roster, and he will improve. Dedich, Leveston, and McMahon provide depth behind him, Avila, and Dotson, just in case.)

DL: Kobie Turner, Braden Fiske, Leki Fotu, Desjuan Johnson, Tyler Davis, Simeon Barrow Jr.

(I think Fotu has the capability of starting for a long time; he'll only be twenty-six. But just in case, I think D-John and Davis (and possibly even David Olajiga) could fill the role of NT if he's hurt or ineffective. Barrow is here in case Fiske's injury is more severe than we think, but I think he could carve out a solid role.)

LB: Jared Verse, Byron Young, Nick Bolton, Omar Speights, Michael Hoecht, Brennan Jackson, Nick Hampton, Jake Hummel.

(No real surprises. I think B-Jax takes a much bigger role behind Hoecht, and there's a lot of edge rushers available around if he's not. Hampton and Hummel are special teams.)

DB: Eric Stokes, Emmanuel Forbes, Quentin Lake, Kamren Kinchens, Kam Curl, Cobie Durant, Elijah Molden, Jaylen McCollough, Darien Porter, Keondre Jackson.

(Stokes and Forbes win the battle in this one, but Durant and Molden could easily factor in. I could see McCollough taking a real role at inside linebacker/big nickel along with Lake on obvious passing downs. Porter and Jackson are basically taking a redshirt year. Wallace, Woods, and Lampkin could factor in if one of the veteran corners falters, or, at the very least, could be necessary practice squad candidates or trade candidates. As the saying goes, you can never have too many corners.)

ST: Joshua Karty, Ethan Evans, Alex Ward.

(Absolutely no issues with this group. Right now? We're set.)

Fire away.

Outside Free Agents for 2025

Wanted to see what kinds of ideas are out there.
As I look at who's available I have some names that are interesting for me.. and want to hear from others.

At WR... one name that's jumping at me is Darius Slayton. He feels like exactly the kind of guy to put opposite of Puka who can be a more reliable piece. And he's still young enough.. but should be a plug and play upgrade. He won't break the bank either.

At Corner.. I'm just not sure where to go. This is where I think I'd rather keep the guys we have and add a first rounder. But, if you're going to go big.. I like Byron Murphy.

At ILB.. how about Cody Barton?

These seem to me to be the three biggest positions of need.

They also may need to find a big run-stuffing kind of D tackle if they let Bobby Brown walk.

Officials

Watching the Buffalo game where Dawkins got called for a completely bullshit hold call and I really want the NFL to allow an official to review plays where it is 100% clear if a penalty occurred or not. Nothing close should be reviewable. That should keep the game flowing well enough.

How much of a difference would Donald have made?

I think losing Fiske yesterday proved to be a bigger deal most would think but do you think the presence of Aaron Donald would have maybe taken away at least one of the long runs from Saquon or Hurts? Yesterday, 65% of the Eagles rushing yardage came on those three runs. Outside of those three plays, the Rams did a pretty good job of holding their own. As we all know, the first game vs the Eagles had similar catastrophic breakdowns. Then again, if AD stays, do we even draft Fiske and Verse? When I saw him up in the suite during the sackfest against the Vikings, I couldn't help but think he missed being out there with the guys. I seriously doubt he thought this team would get this close to the Super Bowl. I mean, we were two games away and could have easily beat Philly had we not had some dumb mistakes. I know it's wishful thinking but imagine what this defense could be with him in there.

My/Your Shoe Collections

Fuck it. I have some from 1993 which I was 13 and many, many, many between. I've never seen this OT thead on ROD before. Let's go! 30 year old Nike Air Foamposites Penny Hardaway's, CB34's, Air Jordan's, Nike Air Max running shoes, just random shoes. 30 pairs or so. Some never worn, fuck keeping the boxes the ex'es have those.

Jrry32's First Mock Offseason of 2025

Well, our season ended. It sucked. We blew so many chances. But there's always next year. While this draft is lacking at the top, there are a lot of talented guys in the 20 to 45 range. Good news for us.
Cut
TE Colby Parkinson (Post June 1st)
CB Darious Williams

Unfortunately, our 2024 FA class was mostly a dud. Parkinson is one of those duds. His snap count dropped as the season progressed. I don't know what McVay saw, but he clearly didn't love it. D-Will provided solid play, but he's aging and not worth the cap number. Plus, we need more size at CB. It's why I am choosing Spoon on a cheap deal over D-Will.

Re-sign
LT Alaric Jackson (franchise and extend)
CB Ahkello Witherspoon
EDGE Michael Hoecht
DT Bobby Brown III
OL Dylan McMahon (ERFA)

I think we have to keep Jackson. He's a solid LT, the position is in demand, and we don't need to be trotting out a rookie on Stafford's blindside. I expect Witherspoon is a cheap re-sign. He's not great, but he's a competent player and gives us size in the secondary. Hoecht is a steady role player, so I'd try to keep him on a reasonable contract. Same with Bobby Brown III. While I'd love to bring back D-Rob, he's likely looking at a 3-6 game suspension due to the two DUI arrests.

Free Agency
GettyImages-1461200054.jpg

ILB Nick Bolton

If this game drove something home to me, it's our desperate need for a dawg at ILB. We have that guy on the DL (Verse). Bolton will do a lot to solve our run defense woes. I considered Dre Greenlaw or Charvarius Ward here. I opted for Bolton over Greenlaw due to youth and durability. I opted against Ward because this draft is stronger and deeper at CB than ILB and Ward is turning 29, while Bolton is still only 24 (25 in March).

large.jpeg

WR Allen Lazard

I am anticipating that the Jets will cut Lazard due to his cap number and the likelihood of Rodgers departing. With D-Rob likely to face a lengthy suspension due to his DUI arrests, Lazard would be an interesting addition. He's a big WR (6'5" 225) who can block and is capable of getting vertical. He put up 412 yards and 5 TDs in only 7 games. Seems like a worthwhile veteran additional on a one or two year deal.

8f6547e43681024f335ea68e9f293cb4

OT Josh Jones

After watching Noteboom and McClendon struggle when Havenstein went down, it's clear we need a swing OT. While Jones can play both OT and OG positions, his best snaps have come at OT (LT, specifically). Important depth signing.

imageedit_1_49940530-16x9-1.jpg

DT Greg Gaines

A blast from the past here, Gaines has mostly been in a rotational role in Tampa. It should make him relatively cheap to bring back. He'll give us additional depth inside. It won't hurt us to have a high-motor run stuffer.

Trades
Falcons trade TE Kyle Pitts
Rams trade Round 4 Pick #26 and Conditional 2026 Round 5 Pick (4th if Pitts has 1000+ yards, 3rd if he makes the Pro Bowl or All Pro team)

Pitts is headed into the final year of his rookie contract (the option year). Things haven't worked out in Atlanta. I'd give him a shot here. Here's why: Pitts is still only 24 years old, he's still a 6'6" 245 pound man who ran a 4.40 40, and I think McVay is smart enough to understand how to use Pitts's unique skillset. We can show 12 personnel with Pitts and Higbee and create mismatches based on the personnel packages defenses use in response to Pitts. There is a long list of TEs who didn't blossom until they found the right offense later in their careers. I think Pitts can be that guy.

Rams trade OL Jonah Jackson and Round 6 Pick #19
Giants trade Round 5 Pick #16

The Giants were reportedly interested in signing Jackson last offseason. While we could just keep Jackson for another year to provide (incredible) depth, I think we're okay with Justin Dedich and Dylan McMahon. I think Jackson will have some trade value because starting caliber OLs are always in demand, and he's still relatively young.

Rams trade Round 6 Pick #14
Titans trade QB Will Levis and Round 7 Pick #23

The Titans did this last year with Malik Willis (traded for a 7th to the Packers). They are taking a QB at #1 and will want to have a veteran backup. (I'm guessing Gardner Minshew or Mason Rudolph.) While I harbor many doubts about Levis, he has two things going for him: (1) top-notch physical tools and (2) successful play under McVay's former OC Liam Coen (at Kentucky). Levis has shown flashes in the NFL and was in a rough situation in Tennessee. We can see how he develops with our coaching staff and Stafford. Low risk move. This is basically the same compensation the Jets received for Zach Wilson last year.

Rams trade Round 1 Pick #26 and Round 3 Pick #36
Patriots trade Round 2 Pick #6, Round 3 Pick #13, and Round 4 Pick #8

The Patriots need to get Drake Maye some help. They trade up for either an OL or a WR. The Rams are comfortable moving back to the second round.

NFL Draft
Round 2 Pick #6 - Jahdae Barron CB Texas
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAmXAK0aKFk

Analysis: The Thorpe Award winner, Barron falls out of the first round because he isn't 6'0+" and doesn't have 4.3 wheels. But Barron is a perfect fit for our scheme and what we need at CB. At 5'11" 200, he's a physical run defender who excels in zone coverage due to his great football IQ, change of directional ability, and ball skills. Barron is also versatile enough to play outside and in the slot, allowing us to get creative with Quentin Lake.

Round 3 Pick #13 - Matthew Golden WR Texas
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruw5W5Xea2w

Analysis: Matthew Golden burst on to the scene this year with Texas after transferring from Houston. I love Golden's fit in our O. At 6'0" 195, he's a gifted route runner who has the acceleration and speed to get vertical and the elusiveness to pick up yards after the catch. Natural hands catcher who has tremendous body control. And he is absolutely lethal running the dig route. Willing blocker with good technique too. His weaknesses are play strength and getting off of press coverage. Additionally, while he has the speed to get vertical, he's not a burner.

Round 3 Pick #26 - LeQuint Allen HB Syracuse
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk3hB5QBp88

Analysis: Allen reminds me a lot of Tony Pollard as a runner. He has explosive acceleration, quick feet, and is a slippery runner despite running fairly upright and having a higher center of gravity. However, while Allen is a gifted runner, his most valuable asset is his receiving ability. Lethal route runner with soft, natural hands. He'll need to work on his pass pro technique and get stronger, but he profiles as the lightning to Corum's thunder (if we let Williams walk after 2025) and an absolute terror as a receiver out of the backfield.

Round 4 Pick #8 - Hollin Pierce OT Rutgers
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzhXtwCmYLI

Analysis: Hollin Pierce is going to need a redshirt year to work on his game, but you can't teach 6'8" 350 and his natural power. Pierce profiles as an impact player in the running game. He more often than not dominates the defender in front of him on running plays. As a pass protector, he's strong as an ox and has a ton of length, but he has a lot to clean up. Bends too much from the waist, gets beaten inside (with spins especially) when he oversets, and can lose his fundamentals at the top of the arc. He's not the most fleet-footed guy, but he has the athleticism to handle pass pro at RT in the NFL.

Round 5 Pick #16 - Jack Bech WR Texas Christian
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h83OazG8REE

Analysis: Jack Bech is a Sean McVay WR. At 6'2" 215, he is physical in all aspects of the game. He will bring it as a blocker, he overpowers defenders in his routes, and he runs like a TE after the catch. Bech is extremely effective against zone defender due to his high IQ, physical play, and reliable hands. Against man, his athletic limitations can show up, as he does not possess great speed or elite quickness. He typically wins with physicality and route running savvy. At minimum, he'll bring it on special teams for us. But I think there's potential here for him to carve out a role in our O. Rich man's Ben Skowronek.

Round 6 Pick #26 - Carson Bruener ILB Washington
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1vlHiZyj4

Analysis: The son of former Steelers TE Mark Bruener, Carson is a good athlete, a heady player, and very adept in coverage. Where he'll offer the most value to us early on is special teams. He has good speed, plays with a non-stop motor, and really shined on special teams at Washington. Bruener was also a productive ILB, leading the team with over 100 tackles this year in Steve Belichick's defense. He was the Mike and had the green dot. I love him in zone coverage. He has great awareness, good lateral agility, and the speed to carry TEs up the field. He needs some work as a run defender. Needs to trust his eyes and trigger, rather than hesitating and settling for tackling the guy four yards down the field.

Round 7 Pick #23 - Trikweze Bridges S Florida
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnG9NnS4S-w

Analysis: I didn't expect a lot from Bridges when he transferred to UF this year. He started at CB for Oregon back in 2022, but lost his job in 2023. I was pleasantly surprised. He started the year at safety, where he played solid football. Due to injuries at CB, Bridges served as the #1 CB late in the year and again played solid football. He's a versatile DB who can contribute on special teams and is capable of developing into a guy we deploy in sub-packages against athletic TEs, in addition to providing depth at safety.

WTF happened to (NFL) Kay Adams?

Helluva game today/this afternoon. Oddly I'm over it and quite proud of this team and organization. I could say a lot but I'll mix it totally up because I'm simply curious. As the title states... (I can't stand her Up and Adams anyway). No rant or rave, a beautiful woman turned into a plastic masquerade.

Prior and then presently. I'm over the heart breaking loss. Both ways I suppose.

Matthew Stafford Contract Status

So we have a story that's been out there re: Stafford wanting more guaranteed money in his final two years. Rams didn't give it to him. Not sure where this is going, but I have a feeling there may be a little drama before it gets settled.

Mack’s First Takes

Wonderful season. So close and looking up!

1) We need a stud ILB to pair with Speights. We struggle against home run hitters at RB.

2) We need a home run hitter as a change of pace back… our Jahmyr Gibbs type.

3) We need a WR who can stretch the field that McVay trusts. Atwell is plenty good enough, but McVay doesn’t trust him enough. I kept screaming to see Atwell because no one on Philly could keep up with him.

4) McVay is the best HC in the league. Hands down.

5) The grit of this team is unmatched. 16 sacks in two postseason games including 7 against that Philly OL is special.

6) We need to keep this OL intact. I dunno what that means for the Detroit LG we signed, but we need to sign Alaric Jackson.

7) Chris Shula needs a raise. Big raise.

8) Our K and P are set.

9) Snead needs to focus on the secondary in the draft like he did the OL.

10) Unless Kupp was injured and can come back healthy, I think he’s gone. We can’t just rely on Nacua. I know people don’t want to see this, but I could see us going after Tee Higgins unless a stud WR falls to us in the end of the first round of the draft. I love Kupp and would love for him to retire a Ram, but he’s not getting targets or separation.

I’m happy with this season and proud of this very young team. So many positives going into the offseason. I’m sad we can’t see more of this special team, but only one team ends the season happy.

GAME DAY Rams at Eagles - Divisional Championship

Worst fans in the league? Check. Bad weather? Check. Short week? Check. Cross-country travel? Check. Playing a team that kicked our ass earlier? Check. Dealing with real adversity back home? Check. Man, what a great opportunity for Coach McVay and this Rams team to find out what they're really made of. Nobody gave Washington a chance in hell to win last night and looked what happened. I feel the same about today's game in Philly. Let's go kick some ass, Rams!

SEE YA IN 2 WEEKS

omg... what a game...

and the look on dan campbells face towards the end of that ass whopping... absolutely priceless...

but here is the problem...

after what i just saw, would i rather play wash or det?...

detroit may have been the better draw...

after thinking that, i came to the only conclusion i could...

we gotta win, no matter who we draw...

home nfc championship? um yes please...

take care of philly, and then turn the carriage into a pumpkin for the Commodes...

omg, again, what a game...

go rams

MENU THREAD - Divisional Playoff Round

I started the process earlier today.

We will be chowing on EAGLET TORTILLA SOUP. It wasn't easy fighting off both parents... but... I was successful.

Here's a shot of the young and extremely tender eaglets that I just finished smoking. Yes, the parents fight like crazy, but, they don't have facemask penalties that are fake.

Gonna put it completely together in the morn.
