Rams have a great strategy for the Australia game
They rented an A380.
The most expensive charter plane on earth. Enough lay flat seats for all the players and cabin altitude of 5,000 compared to 8,000 on regular passenger planes.
The players can actually get a good night sleep on this plane. Due to low cabin altitude, high humidity, and its dead quiet.

The players see how serious the franchise is taking this game with THAT expense, less disruption to their personal lives, AND the media telling everyone we’re doing it wrong.

Advantage RAMS

The players have extra motivation to prove everyone wrong - AND - get this treatment next time. Not to mention the 49’ers are acting like they own Australia. Such a clown franchise.

We are winning this game!

I feel the same way. For some reason the whiners play like superbowl contenders every time they play us, no matter who is on the field for them.

Exactly! I remember when we were supposed to crush the Niners because Jim Drunkenmiller was subbing for Steve Young, or was it when Blaine Gabbert was playing, or was it when Tim Rattay was playing, or was it when Elvis Grbac was playing, or was it when Shaun Hill was playing...

The most recent vintage, of this example, is Nick Mullens beating us.

I don't know if this has been posted before but I love the way Colin Cowherd described the difference between how the Rams and niners are treating this trip.....

"The niners are treating this like a semester abroad while the Rams are treating it like Seal Team 6.....get in, win, get out."

All of the above because we couldn't beat anyone back then. But it was Elvis Grbac playing for Steve young. I think we were either 4-0 or 4-1. First year in St Louis. We were primed to finally beat them and they destroyed us 40 something to 10 or something like that. That was game that spawned the infamous "Same Ole Sorry Ass Rams".

Or as I like to call it, "The Curse Of Dana Stubblefield. (TM)"

Niners havent won a Title since Stubblefield uttered this cruel, insensitive remark, and as an added bonus, spent multiple years in the klink, LOL

I guess karma is a real thing. We've been to 4 Superbowls since and won it twice.

Well they have BEEN to alot since then (3) but its not about appearances its about winning. I dont have warm, fuzzy feelings about our 2 New England SB losses. Niners havent won it all since Dana (SOSAR)

Woulda liked to see Donald out there wreaking havoc. But this was already one of the best lines in the league before he returned. They will be fine for this game. Even better when he's been playing a few games. Seattle is the key. And we don't get them till weeks 16 and 18. By then Donald will be primed for great games. Donald at full strength with Garrett. Darnold saw ghosts before. He'll be seeing what feels like demons in those games. If he survives.

I think the Rams strategy is best because it's not just about this game. They only deal with jet lag once, while the niners deal with it coming and going. Niners are dumber than a second coat of paint.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be watching the game (so someone else will have to create the Victory thread when/if the Rams win). I'm practicing for a boccia tournament in Chicago and have to be at my best. Not only that, but my folk's television is the only one I can watch the games on, and with the late starting time, it's a no-go.

So, bring home a winner for me, guys!

I got this off of AI - I like it. In their 14 head-to-head matchups (during Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season), Myles Garrett generated a 28.6% pressure rate against Trent Williams. [1]
According to tracking data from Pro Football Focus (PFF), the individual breakdown for those 14 snaps includes: [1, 2]
  • 4 pressures allowed
  • 1 sack allowed
  • 36% pass-rush win rate for Garrett [1]
This performance stood out as one of the highest pass-rush win rates Trent Williams has ever surrendered in a single game throughout his career

The 49ers' run defense is in big trouble. I don't care how good Coach Morris is; losing DT Alfred Collins, with Grace Halton as his backup

I think Morris will have something up his sleeve. He knows McVay and the Rams' offense. He made changes to the D, with a 5-man base front from what I read. I know they have a lot of injuries on the front. You never know with the injuries; sometimes teams make up for them with emotional play.

When you say 10 titles in two major sports, I’m assuming you are talking about baseball and football.
Oakland A’s won THREE straight, steelers 4 in 6 years, and the raiders got one too.
… but the pirates only won one title in ‘71 when Clemente went off. Which one am I missing?

Also of note, the Golden State Warriors won a title in basketball too. The played right next door to the raiders in the indoor Oakland coliseum (same parking lot).

I mention the warriors because the late great announcer Bill King was a Bay Area legend and actually had stints calling the raiders, A’s, and Warriors back then.
He is a legend to people who were around then, listening to local sports.

Thanks for sending me down memory lane.
