Yuck. Didn't need to see this. We really need to get a future RT, Big Rob has been more hurt then healthy this season. Too bad our high priced FA OL can' t play tackle.

The Rams turnaround this year has been phenomenal. They are a completely different team from what they were coming out of week 5. So toss out the 1-4 start.

I don’t expect them to walk over the Cards or Seahawks but I do expect them to take care of business (at home) and win. These are 2 mediocre descending teams that the Rams can handle with good (not great) performances. I’d take backing into the playoffs but that would greatly deflate the momentum going into the playoffs. Go Rams! Win 2 and serve notice!

Oh I agree with that. Aging is unbeaten though, unfortunately.

So it looks like the Shitbirds will be without both starting OT's and their best offensive weapon, Connor. We have not had a comfortable game the entire season. If ever there was a set up for one, this is it. So clearly, it won't be.

Really hoping to get our pass rush back on track against a bunch of back up's and JAGs on that line. If we can't get pressure against these clowns, I'm a bit concerned about the playoffs which feature teams with some very good OL's.

Earlier today, Alber Breer reported that the Cardinals expect to have James Conner available for the game.

Let him play, less excuses. A knee contusion doesn’t heal in one week.

Shitbirds? Deadbirds?

What type of birds are the Seahawks?

Not having a go at you personally, by the way, but these puerile nicknames are fucking stupid.

Correct ! They are absolutely stupid as can be. Give every team we play some juvenile lame ass version of their real name. Like we are supposed to hate every team other than our favorite one.
Once in awhile, but every team we play. Dumb.
I try and call everyone by their given name. I don't call people by their nicknames if they have one. Some are derogatory so I call them whatever their mom called them.
As yes, calling Shanahan rat face all the time is also shitty. Always going with personal appearance cut downs is weak. He beat our brains in for years. We all would have gladly taken him if the Rams went that way. And he is McVays close friend, good enough for me. If he was a total POS he would not be the greatest Rams coach in history's pal. So I have to believe he is a good dude.
BTW, the 49ers actual name is much more of a cut down than the Shitters. The real 49ers were a bunch of Native murdering pieces of human garbage.
