49er’s at Rams

[Loyal]

Well done on the name change! A+++

Well Old School, you and I have to step up our game, cuz Dave has like 900000 ROD dollars. He's about to strip the title belt from your cold-dead-fingers...:redcard:

Sounds like you wear and the Rams lose but, it doesn't matter much to

so as I posted in another thread, not sure if I wear my good luck jersey today (throwback Dickerson)... it seems to be good for 2 weeks before the luck runs out. Now I have worn it the past 2 weeks, so do I wear it this week, and say the hell with the superstitions, or do I not wear it, wash it and hope for the best next week?

if I wear it this week then wash it, Rams have 2 weeks of wins guaranteed.

If I don't wear it, who knows what happens next week.

Today's a good day to test your theory since the outcome isn't do or die. That way you'll know what to wear next week.

Nice job changing the author to Foolio, Primetime.

Whenever he posts something foolish, which is most of the time, he will get that name change because it fits. Juvenile, yes but he deserves it. Btw I didn't come up with that, some of the members of his own site refer to him that way in the comments section.

It'll be fascinating to see how he chooses to mix social justice issues with the NFL in 2018, even though anyone with a functioning brain knows by now that it leads to less viewership.

In 2015 it was: make the Redskins change their name.
In 2016 it was: force an NFL team to sign Colin Kaepernick.

Both were dismal failures.

Foolio!

Okay according to LA Times Williams will start at LT and I believe Saffold will get a couple of series before they sit him so the offensive line to start the game should look like this:

LT...Williams
LG...Saffold
C...Blythe
RG...Brown
RT..Havenstein

I'm expecting Neary & Cornelius Lucas to be active as well with Neary most likely replacing Saffold at LG...Not sure what they will do with Lucas, but maybe he replaces Havenstein at RT with Brown logging the whole game at RG.

Could florio be a bigger douche? He says its believed and then apparent that the rams are resting starters because they want the Philly matchup in divisional round. Yeah believed in his tiny brain.

In all likelihood we're playing in Minnesota one week or another so the real difference is where we play the NFC Championship. If the rams are the 4th seed we give up the chance to host the NFC Championship which would end up being against the saints in New Orleans. And for that to happen the saints would have to go into purple heaven and knock off the Vikings. So wed have the confident and rolling saints to play in their building. At that point that is no better matchup than the rams going to Minnesota in the divisional round.

At the 3rd seed we probably get 2 home games cause I think the saints beat Philly. At the 4th seed we have 2 road games in tough places.

This is about resting players. Coach knows they can beat anyone and hes not trying to guess who wins next week so he can hopefully play one team over the other.

Fuck you florio.

“It’s believed”... by who?

Nice job changing the author to Foolio, Primetime. So the media (sources?) thinks this is the Rams motive, so it must be true. alm:

Yea, this is not reporting. This is making shit up and disguising it as fact. This is the MO of this ass hat. I stopped reading this guy a long time ago.

 

[OldSchool]

Well Old School, you and I have to step up our game, cuz Dave has like 900000 ROD dollars. He's about to strip the title belt from your cold-dead-fingers...:redcard:

haha It's all good. I was browsing the ROD book page and noticed something. I think it's total wagers placed and I'm at something like 190 while he was some crazy number in the thousands. I just don't bet enough.

Rams, 49ers look ready to rule NFC West again
By Eric Branch

Photo: Scott Strazzante, The Chronicle

Before the Rams visited the 49ers in Week 3, the prime-time meeting was expected to be the latest of the NFL’s forgettable Thursday night offerings.

Not only were the teams playing on three days of rest — a trusted recipe for sloppy snoozers — they were also typically terrible at full strength: They were coming off seasons in which they had a combined record of 6-26 and had occupied the bottom two spots in the NFC West for the third straight season.

Are you ready for some (yawn) football?

As it turns out, the bottom dwellers played a wildly entertaining game that featured 839 yards and 10 touchdowns and was won 41-39 by the Rams.

In September, the gripping game was viewed as a surprise. Now, three months later, it’s viewed as a preview of coming attractions.

The once-spirited 49ers-Rams rivalry won’t be rekindled Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the Rams resting their best players in a meaningless regular-season finale, but many signs suggest it will return in 2018.

The Rams (11-4) won their first NFC West title since 2003 and feature a promising young quarterback (Jared Goff) who is clicking with a young rookie head coach who doubles as the offensive play-caller (Sean McVay).

The 49ers (5-10) are on a four-game winning streak that has coincided with the insertion of a promising young quarterback (Jimmy Garoppolo) who is clicking with a young rookie head coach who doubles as the offensive play-caller (Kyle Shanahan).

The 49ers and Rams haven’t occupied the top two spots in the NFC West since 2002, and one has finished in last place in 11 of the past 15 seasons. From 1967 through 2001, they combined to win 28 of 35 division titles, six Super Bowls (five by the 49ers) and occupied the top two NFC West spots in 12 seasons.

“The hard rivals end up being usually who the better teams in the division are,” Shanahan said. “I hope that we’re up there as we get going. I know the Rams are there this year, so we’re excited to get to play them.”

Speaking of excitement, McVay, 31, the league’s youngest head coach, and Shanahan, 38, the second youngest, have injected just that into lifeless offenses.

The Rams lead the NFL in points (465) after finishing last in 2016 (224). They also rank seventh in total offense, which would mark their first top-10 finish since 2006.

The 49ers rank 12th in total offense after having just one finish inside the top 20 since 2003 (11th in 2012). They have taken off with Garoppolo, who has led them to at least 369 yards in four straight games for the first time since 1998. They ranked 21st in total offense before Garoppolo became the starter Dec. 3.

McVay has seen Shanahan’s work up close. They were colleagues in Washington from 2010 through ’13 when Shanahan, the offensive coordinator, was McVay’s boss.

“Anytime you have a division opponent that’s got a lot of things that look really good for the future, that’s not exactly something that you’re too excited about as an opposing coach,” McVay said. “But it’s always fun to coach against the guys that have been instrumental in your history as a coach.”

The 49ers’ future suddenly looks so bright that running back Carlos Hyde forecast a Super Bowl run in 2018. Shanahan has said Hyde might have been facetious, but the optimism surrounding a 5-10 team is real.

“I keep saying I wish we had seven more games,” linebacker Eli Harold said. “Because if we did, the way we are playing right now, we definitely would be one of the top teams.”

The Rams’ resurgence after their 2016 return to Los Angeles, coupled with the 49ers’ recent uptick, does suggest a dormant intrastate rivalry could return next season. Shanahan wants to put the brakes on such talk. The Rams might have arrived this season, but the 49ers still have work to do.

“You can’t control what’s going on next year,” Shanahan said. “You only can worry about right now. … When you start focusing on things like that, you get humbled very fast.”

49ers (5-10) at Rams (11-4)

When: 1:25 p.m.TV/Radio: Channel: 2 Channel: 40/680, 107.7

Spotlight on: RB Carlos Hyde: The four-year veteran with 850 rushing yards has an outside shot at his first 1,000-yard season. Last year, Hyde finished with 988 yards after enduring a season-ending knee injury in Week 16 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Hyde has rushed for 150-plus yards in just two career games, but he will face a defense that’s resting All-Pro tackle Aaron Donald. This could mark the final game with the 49ers for Hyde, a pending free agent who has expressed a desire to return in 2018.

Injury notes: 49ers — No players listed on injury report. Rams — WR Cooper Kupp (knee) is questionable, but won’t play as the Rams are resting many of their key starters.

The Big 3

The 49ers are the first team in NFL history to win five games after an 0-9 start.

WR Marquise Goodwin (934 yards) needs 66 yards to become the 11th player in franchise history with 1,000 receiving yards and the third since 2003 (Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree).

The 49ers are aiming to hold their sixth straight opponent to fewer than 100 rushing yards, which would be their first such streak since 2011.
