Davante Adams

[Allen2McVay]

I don't mind the edit, but that gives me no consolation being second best. We handed away the Philly game and others so stupidly that we need to realize the fine line of being on point at all positions at all times.

I wasn't suggesting any 'consolation' but Extreme FRUSTRATION to be that close ... especially last year because that was a Conference Championship, and would have put the Rams in the Super Bowl.

56 years of following the Rams. A number of playoff disappointments
... several heart-breaking losses in the Wild Card or Divisional Rounds but thos games don't put a team in the Super Bowl.
... several diappointing losses in the NFC Championship but mostly it was disappointing performances from the Rams in defeat ... 1975 and 1978 vs. Dallas ... 1985 vs. Chicago ... 1989 vs. the Niners ... BUT, the Rams were out-played in each of those games.

The 1974 and 1976 NFC Championship losses (both in Minnesotat) were Always the WORST for me personally (not counting Super Bowl defeats) because ... in my opinion ... the Rams were the better team THAT DAY; and, coming-up one-win-short of the Super Bowl was absolutely BRUTAL.

Last year's loss to Seattle is right there with those Vikings' losses.

Love me some Davante but it's week 2. He's neither as ineffective as he looked week 1 nor as dominant as he looked week 2.

Let's remember that the Giants secondary was already banged up heading into the game and losing your QB will skew things.

I expect him to wear down somewhat as a 17 game season progresses but he should be nothing short of a top tier WR2 (with the ability to step into WR1 on occasion) if he stays healthy.

Im right with ya in the misery Brother. My first horror was '74, and YES, '25 in Seattle was as hard to take as any of em. And you're right about the ones we weren't close in.

Personally, I did not have high expectations in '85 or '89.
Thought the Rams maxed-out both years just reaching the NFC Champioship.

Especially 1985. That Bears' Defense was great. One of the two best one-year-defenses I have ever seen.
The other being the 2000 Ravens.

Despite the Rams splitting two close games with the Niners in 1989, I thought that Niner team was terrific.

Now in '74 and '76. I had very high expectations ... but I was also young ... and adorable.

We could have won both of those games in Minnesota, and we also could have won the 78 Dallas game but our field goal kicker sucked ass.

1978?!?

The Rams sucked that day. It was scoreless at the half, and Corral did miss two FGAs but the Cowboys dominated the 2nd half and won 28-0. The Rams turned the ball over SEVEN times!

By-the-way, the prior week, in the Divisional Round, it was similar but in reverse. A close first half before the Rams doimated the second half and retired Fran Tarkenton.

I was disappointed when Brady came-out of retirement. The Rams defeated Tarkenton's Vikings in 1978, Staubach's Cowboys in 1979 and ... for the moment ... Brady's Bucs in 2021 ... sending each of those great QBs (who had caused Rams' fans much misery) into retirement with final game playoff losses.

Yeah, 6-0 Rams at Half changes the game possibly.

Adams interviewed by Adams. She does like NFL WRS, Amendola had a taste.
Adams let the NFL in TDs last year without getting to play with Stafford in training camp very much, if at all. Its like they were getting used to each other during the season.
Now we get to see what a "real" season between those 2 looks like with a fully healthy Adams.
Its going to be great. What Puka and Garret get back both the offense and defense are going to have this pick your poison situations.
And the season we all thought would happen will be upon us.

LOLOL ya and no one is even mentioning the 2018/19 Rams SB loss. I think we had that chalked up to an L before it started, but maaan with a healthy Gurley (and a bit better QB) we'd be working on SB Ring #4.

Let’s not forget Kupp was out too. I know he was a young player, but he was on pace for over 1000 yards and 12 TDs. He certainly would have contributed and most likely would have hauled in that pass the Cooks didn’t. (I still don’t blame Cooks, that pass was way too late)

When I initiated the discussion earlier, I said I was excluding Super Bowls.

Oh -- sorry, yes... I guess I shoulda realized b/c the 2001 SB loss wasn't in there.
Easily my top most painful Rams loss of any Rams game. Admittedly I became a fan in '99 though, those other pre-Anaheim games had to be especially painful.

Understand.
All five of the Rams’ Super Bowl appearances could have been wins or losses. Even the 1979 loss to Pittsburgh where the Rams led after three quarters.

Davante killed it for my fantasy team, won me 50 bucks for high score of the week!

Imagine going into Monday night and being like "The only thing that could lose me this matchup is if Davante Adams puts 40 on me, ha!"

He won my dad a victory as well. Unfortunately, my dad also has Jaxson Dart on his fantasy team. Hopefully he picked up Lock on waivers...

My brother and our childhood friend are also in that fantasy league, and it's a really tough twelve-team league.
