That old woman with Foolio is a dipshit. "imagine if MAHOMES had this offensive talent!!"???? Wtf is she even talking about??? Stafford is playing at a higher lever than Kermit is these days and Kermit has the best TE in the league.

Yeah man some of these asswipes they dig up for these shows, it makes me angry. But Foolio's tears are delicious. :laugh3:

Kay still crying in her oversugared Latte. She'll probably avoid covering the game.

They picked Rashee Rice 122 picks ahead of Puka... they've got Kelce.. they returned with Pacheco, CEH and McKinnon.. and spent money on MVS.
Wah-wah-wah.
And I actually like Mahomes.. but, give Stafford his fucking props. Guy won a Super Bowl for a reason.

Eisen as usual is on point. Always love his takes. As to the playoff matchups IF we get in...

Dallas will dumpster us in the wildcard round. Because their rush is good enough to disrupt Stafford and their offense will roast our secondary.

But the rest of the options I think we have a chance. Philly is probably a loss but they haven't been too sharp and our offense will go up and down the field vs their defense, so it's possible. Detroit has no defense so they're a coin flip vs us, where we have the better QB but they're at home and have more explosive weapons.

And lastly that storyline with Detroit... I mean you can't make up that good a storyline. One of those rare alignments you get in sports where you gotta say wow. I'd almost feel bad for them if we go in there and knock them out in their first year back. Almost. But they have plenty of playoff runs ahead I think so I'll opt for the "Stafford cockblocks Detroit" over the "Goff payback victory over McVay" storyline.

I sort of agree with you. I think you remember a developing Rams squad that was beaten by the Iggles and the Cowgirls, but we aren’t the same team that lost those games. The only team I a iffy about is the Niners, but the same idea applies against them. We hung with them most of the first game and the Rams are much better now, IMO. I think the Rams are the only playoff team in the NFC that can crush their dreams. Frisco, go ahead and play your starters in week 18 and see what happens, rat boy.

Do they have more explosive weapons? We have KUPP, Nacua, Robinson, Williams and Higbee

They have St Brown, Reynolds, Williams, Montgomery/Gibbs, La Porta

Both have a legit cadre of offensive weapons, but I like the Rams overall weapons better.

Sure La Porta over Higbee and I think the RB situation is a wash. But… St Brown over KUPP? Nah. Anyone they have over Puka? No way. And I’d take Robinson over any of their WRs not named St Brown. And we have Atwell.

I think we're stronger underneath. But we don't have anyone with Gibbs' threat, just in terms of raw speed. LaPorta is a bigger Kupp basically. And despite Kupp & Nacua's excellence neither are field stretchers. Speed is our achilles heel with our pass game weapons.

Obviously that Detroit storyline is amazing for sports media and fans in general but thinking that a Dallas/Eagles game we have a pretty damn good chance to win honestly even though we'll be on the road.

1. We are peaking while both those teams have been exposed since we played them.
2. We are healthy finally
3. They have all or most of the pressure.
4. Or HC and coaching staff is starting to peak for the season, and McVay is our difference maker.
5. We have the most experienced QB in the NFC.

Me being the optimist now! lol

This team was written off as tanking or rebuilding but now they’re one of the hottest teams in the league the last 6 weeks. They’re devoid of talent, the bill for that Super Bowl has come due and on and on, and as of today they’re in the playoffs, and what does Foolio want to talk about? “McVay only came back cuz he had to, he waited too long for that tv job and they were all taken.” Foolio also says McVay felt bad when the team heard he was flirting with the networks.
McVay himself has admitted how much building this team and going to 2 super bowls took out of him, and that he had to do some soul searching, but unless Foolio is talking to McVay’s wife I think he’s been watching too much real housewives with all the drama he’s cooking up. Why is he rehashing all these tidbits anyway? All you hear today is praise for what McVay has been able to do this season and for whatever reason Florio tries to throw a wet blanket on it. I really don’t understand the reasons for those statements unless he wanted to make rams fans hate him more than they did before.

I like to dislike Key. Two things for him. First you should k own that the Super Bowl is rarely won by the best team. It's won by the hottest team.

Second thank you for jinxing the Whiners
He's a loudmouth. I could watch the whole way through because he such a richard....
