If your team isn't gonna win a SB I suppose the next-best thing is to see your arch-rival go down in absolute fucking flames. Nearly the same kinda dopamine hit.

Oh, but last year we did win a Super Bowl, in part because we handed these arch-rivals another bitter defeat in the NFC Championship :laugh3::laugh4:

I am a big fan of Frank Pentangeli:

I said, uh, Can of Peas, my ass! That's a Ritz cracker and chopped liver!"

For a cocky assed fanbase, who always seemed to come off like they (not only the team) were better than everybody else, it must be very painful, though it is extremely satisfying for this Ram fan. To rank the past 28 years in terms of what season was more disappointing almost sounds like it could be coming from a Lions or Browns fan. When it settles in and the prospect of a brand new season in 2023 begins to take hold, what will be the next 'big question'? Who's our QB.....again?

All the fans talking about how the Eagles aren't 'all that,' yet they ignore the fact that the Eagles ran at will against the #1 Tot and #1 Run D yesterday and all four TDs were scored on the ground.

That's just a tad misleading.

In the first half the Eagles ran 18 times for 69 yards (3.8 ypc) and Hurts had 97 yards passing (13-19, 7.46). In the second half they ran 26 times (79 yds, 3.0 ypc) and threw the ball 6 times (2 comp, 24 yds). They "ran at will" because they had a lead and SF had no QB. In the second half they did have their longest drive of the game (72 yards on 15 plays) but the other 3 drives totaled 31 yards on 18 plays. They played good situational football and the situation was SF had no chance once they fumbled and Philly took a 21-7 lead.

Having said that, yes the niners were the #1 D and Philly didn't fold like a tent. They have a very good team, good on both sides of the ball. I still believe they will need to take a lead and build on it vs KC because if the Chiefs get out to a decent lead, Hurts will have a challenge to bring them back.

Now people are coming for Shanny, asking why he tried to block a very good DE with a TE, getting his qb sacked and his arm ripped off. Then they did it again and got the backup sacked, did a 3rd time and got a 2nd qb knocked out of the game.

Living in 49er territory I can say you hit the nail on the head with those fans thinking they're better than everybody else because their team won some Superbowls way back when. They walked around with this "My dog is better than your dog" mentality. Believe me, yesterday was second only to us kicking their ass in last year's NFCCG.

It is nice to see them anguish over the quarterback position again. They have one of the most talented rosters in the league and it gets wasted because the problems with the most important position on the team. I remember a couple years ago when people said the Rams were a quarterback away from a championship. We solved that problem when we traded for Stafford. Even sweeter that we pulled the rug out from under them by snagging him before they could.

Stafford has some serious chinks and dings in his armor. Time to be proactive again and grab Mayfield while he's here and available. I will always be grateful to Stafford for his Lombardi and yes he and Cooper with AD sealing the deal brought that one home to LA. The 3 superstars got it done. But anyone who thinks Matt will play out his contract is kidding themselves. I keep pointing back to his contract structure. The Rams saw 2025 as his last year when they wrote the contract. Every year after 2023 is a year where the team has an "out".

The Rams lucked into a successor QB in Mayfield. Snead must be proactive. Mayfield stays as a backup in 2023 if he knows he's the starter in 2024. Give him a full year to become fully versed in McVay's offense, and with the WRs and he can hit the field running in 2024. There is no guarantee that Stafford can finish 2023. Spinal contusions normally take almost a full 12 months to heal, so for Stafford to return is pushing the envelope. His tendonitis will always be a potential problem, it's called getting old. I wish I could still backpack the backcountry but arthritis in my him tells me those days are done. It really affected his deep throws last season. Contractually they need to play Stafford, but to not be proactive about the QB position even this year and certainly going forward starting in 2024 is IMO a reality. Sign Mayfield an they will kick the SB window wide open for years.

Snead also needs to be proactive about the HC. Yes, Sean might stay 10 more years or he might walk in 2 or 3. Time to begin to groom Brown or someone else for the position to backstop McVay. This year needs to be a wake up call in regard to both the QB and HC positions.

That was some great stuff by Orlovsky!! And he was 100% right. The threat of Hurts made the LBs hesitant. The play of the OL....a good OL.....made some holes. And if you have those weapons in your arsenal, you're going to break some big gains.

Did the Eagles "run at will"? Semantics.

They ran it 42 times (without the 2 kneels by Minshew) for 150 yards. Sure they ran at will. Because they could dominate SF? No. They ran at will because SF had no way to come back. A QB who couldn't run the offense (Johnson) and the other couldn't throw the ball (literally) 8 minutes into the game.

They broke off some long runs (6 for 10 or more). 17, 13*, 10*, 12, 14 and 12. That's 6 carries for 78 yards. The other 36 attempts gained 72 yards (2.0). They had 8 negative yardage runs and 4 for zero yards gained. I don't consider that 'running at will' as in dominant. They ran 37 plays in the first half (18 runs; 19 passes). Once they were up 14 (21-7 to start the 3rd quarter), they ran the ball 24 times and threw 6 passes. Smart. And Hurts ran it 11 of those 24 times (for 40 yards).

Like I said, semantics. When I think of somebody "running at will", I think of a bunch of positive runs and big gainers. Not 23 attempts that gain 3 yards or less with half of them 0 to negative yard gains (12). They even had another -4 yard attempt that was nullified by penalty. And that's another thing, the niners D gave up 7 first downs on penalty (dirty MFers!!!), 3 of them (on 3rd (2) or 4th (1) down) extended Philly drives. Throw in 3 turnovers and is it any wonder they were dominated?
