Yes, they are dorky in the best sense of the word.TMBG is the dorkiest band I’ve ever seen live, and that’s saying something.
Back to the topic.....The Rams are playing in the Blueberries vs the Goffs! I know @thirteen28 ;loves the chance to pizz off the football gods....
They must bust the CURSE! (Saw it on a different website, so prolly true?)Please tell me you're joking ... they cannot be tempting fate with the blueberries, even against an 0-6 team.

Superstitious Swabby!I tell you, if they wear the blueberries and end up losing to the Lions, QB'ed by Goff, with a team that is significantly worse than our 2016 team where Goff struggled as a rookie (we at least had a D for about 2/3 of the year before they started making business decisions and taking games off), then nobody will be able to doubt that the curse is real. And believe me, another poll will be forthcoming!

On that, yes I am.
In fact, there is only one arena in life where I am superstitious - football. (Ok, two - I can cause rain by washing my truck, unless we are in a drought and really need it, at which point my rainmaking powers dissipate dramatically).
In 1986, I bought a Dickerson jersey. Midway through 1987 he was gone.
In 1987, I bought a Jim Everett jersey. In 1990, the team began falling apart around him and his career with the Rams went into the toilet.
In 2001, I bought a Kurt Warner jersey. The bottom of his Rams career fell out the next season.
I have not bought a Rams jersey since then, and if I ever do, it will be for a player that is safely retired (and if he is a HoF candidate but not yet inducted, I will refrain).
Lesson learned. Buying the jersey of an active player, at least by me, causes said player to see his career do a tailspin.
And for those asking, no, I never did buy one for Goff, so you can't put that on me.
I think you might be safe with a Donald or Stafford jersey, ... add a Super Bowl and not just Donald, but they'll both likely be heading towards the HOF. Those jerseys will have staying power !
Yep I have had the same ‘luck’ with Rams Jerseys. 1st jersey I bought was a Bradford and we all know how that worked out. I had high hopes for him.On that, yes I am.

"What's that blue(berry) thing doing over there....."
Then you should have bought a Craig Dahl jersey in 2012 and a Blythe jersey in 2019.On that, yes I am.

That was by design. Georgia and her flying monkey Shaw started tearing the team apart so the City would be apathetic when she moved the team 5 years later. So in that case you got Major Leagued. Not your fault.In 1987, I bought a Jim Everett jersey. In 1990, the team began falling apart around him and his career with the Rams went into the toilet.

Rapp likes reading the eyes of the QB and Daniel Jones started down his targets which worked in Rapp's favor. However, he needs to make sure he's discipline when we play the top QBs in the NFC after the bye. Rapp has been fooled before by veteran QBs that don't show where they are going, but the consequences of jumping a route are less severe in the box than at deep safety.Rapp looked like a different player for this game. Was he given a green light to play more aggressively? He hadn't been jumping routes like that all season. Whatever they decided to do, it worked well. I know its a crippled up Giants team, but the whole DB unit wasn't play with the big cushion.
