Well, when running against the likes of Troy Reeder he's a 1 double A running back.

So let me start this by saying I’m a huge fan of Lewis, he seems to make something happen more often than not he always flashes while on the field.
That being said this surprised me and I was wondering if this was skewed by attempts I.e it’s easier to have a high % with less attempts. (1 attempt + 1 sack = 100% win rate). The more I dug I don’t know how accurate the info is….below are the grades for 80% of pass rush attempts
Didn’t see Lewis so I lowered it to 50% of pass rush attempts
Again didn’t see Lewis so I lowered it to 20% and still didn’t see him.
In all fairness, these grades don’t include the Lions game so I suppose that game alone COULD have vaulted him if he had a lot of non penalized pass rushing attempts and won nearly all of them but that would be surprising to me and would likely only be able to move him up in the 20% category which is exciting for his future but kinda miss-leading as well.
I’ll be interested to see if that’s the case when the grades are available to include this week.
For some reason direct TV was acting like they were waiting on a game to finish, but in this case, they should not have been waiting because as soon as the Atlanta game ended, which was bonus coverage in other areas the game came on.
The list was for edge players only. It doesn't look like you have your list filtered that way.
Classic Rams
Hall of Fame
Funny I see it now but this was meant for the SNF thread. My observation was spot-on but my thread awareness was lacking.
The game coverage was messed up on a few streams for me. I got on 1 stream and they were showing the end of the NE-NYJ game. Was I on the right channel? I did click on Rams-Lions.
So I quickly jumped to other streams. One had some kind of NFL holding pattern used before game start. Third attempt got me to 1st and 10 Lions so I missed the kickoff but caught the first play.
From what I gather anyone using the Direct TV feed, did not get the game until the Lions kicked off after the Swift TD...I was watching it at home with that feed and another friend of mine was at a bar in North Carolina and we just saw the logos until the other games ended. Very odd.
A game like this last year vs NYJ, we lose. Same type of game this year; but with Stafford we win. Detroit will win some ballgames.
My point was speaking to the fan's expectations of a blow out vs the reality of the Lions players making this their Superbowl. I didn't see the opening drive due to DirecTV not airing it, so I can't really speak to that, but other than what looks like 1 big play in that drive, our D gave up 4 FGs (Take out the 2 converted fake punts and they would have given up 2 FGs). The O didn't get a chance until they were down 10, and I think the game felt a lot worse than it was. I will give you the special teams were terrible, and if they continue to play like that, will likely cost us a game or two down the road.
As far as your question about being down 10 points to Tampa or GB. Obviously would prefer not to be down by 10 to anybody in the Superbowl, but I would not be nearly as worried as in the past. This team is different. That first quarter could have felt a lot like the jets game last year. To me it didn't. It felt like a desperate team going all out and having the bounces go their way. I was very confident we would win that game even at the end of the first quarter.
I am a big believer in how much expectations shape our individual reality. I understand why fans who expected a blow out can come away from a game like that, disappointed. Because you walk away feeling like they underperformed. But, the reality is that early on, every bounce was going their way, and the Rams weathered the storm and won by two scores. To me, how they reacted vs. the reality of how that game played out is more important then how they played vs. my imagined expectations going into the game.
I expected a blow out but am perfectly fine with the win. I also felt very comfortable that we would still win at every point during the game. Now, I was as pissed as can be after that third fake kick got converted... but after I calmed down a few minutes later I was good. This offense will get their points and more often than not Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey will make a play... sometimes together.
But seriously, this gif characterizes the Rams going into the 4th quarter perfectly I think.
I love this and posted quite a bit after the trade that this is an area where Stafford would be much better than Goff, particularly 3rd & long.
I do have a gripe over McV's playcalling on 3rd & medium though. Too much low % stuff. Just get the 5 yards.
Well, the Dodgers lost so that sucks. But the Rams won and the 49ers lost. So that's two outta three this weekend.
It's pretty comical over on the nfl sub in reddit. Penny Sewell is a great player and guy for standing up to AD and AD is a punk bitch on and off the field cause he gets irritated with how much crap he takes during each game

They're also 3rd in the league in conversion percentage (47.5%). Highest in the McVay era. It must be working
They actually played it fairly conservative this game. Could be because they were down early, could be a change.

The hate on Donald by the fans of the teams he has butchered is pretty hilarious....
but it's also kind of sad.
So now Donald is a bi***? #99 is a huge d-bag? And this is from fans outside our division?? Jesus. Heavy is the head that wears the crown I guess...
