PREGAME Pregame Thread - Rams at Ravens

[socalrams90]

Don’t like the time change but maybe it helps limit the cold temps. Plus mcvay has a pretty decent record at 10 am if I recall.

I think we will be fairly balanced which has brought success over the past weeks. When we throw I think we will slice up that swiss cheese secondary they are fielding. I have no idea who will be available until later in the week but if the O.L holds up I see a lot of yards piling up through the air

I'd like to see them get back to their starting five on the OL. If the Ravens get a line minus say Whit and Allen that compensates for their secondary in the form of more pressure. And I don't like where Stafford is right now in dealing with pressure. That's where he gambles and turns it over.

So if the OL looks like the one we just had I prefer they go heavy on the ground and keep it simple. Try to get a ball control and field position type win. It will be good practice for them too with the playoffs right around the corner.

Btw why was the Rams/Baltimore game moved to 1pm? Hate that!

 

[Da-Rock]

1pm Eastern so 10am on West Coast. I like that better.

 

[Q729]

Maybe they moved it to 1pm so Baltimore couldn't say fuck it all after seeing the result of the Cincinnati game.

Edit:

Ramswire said:
This is likely because FOX wants to get the Cardinals-Cowboys matchup to a bigger audience in the late-afternoon window, which is easier with Rams-Ravens kicking off in the early slot.

NFL moves Rams-Ravens game to 1 p.m. ET on Sunday

The NFL has moved Rams-Ravens up from 4:25 to 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, which isn’t great news for the Rams

Also, according to that, McVay is 8-2 in 1 p.m. starts in the Eastern Time Zone.

I might prefer a bad weather game.
Stay focused on the ground game

1pm Eastern so 10am on West Coast. I like that better.

Me too - I love watching the game Sunday morning and not having to wait/stress longer.
Plus I prefer them not playing 4-7pm in the cold/dark east coast (1-4pm daytime better cold wise).

It says 8-2 including two wins this year against the Colts and Giants but we also beat the Texans and Vikings at 1 eastern

So, Stafford should be used to cold games, snow and rain coming from the NFC Central.

I think rain will have the biggest affect on receivers catching the ball, so they need to glove up. Also, the affect on ball carriers fumbling.

This may be another high turnover agonizing game to watch.

Does anyone think Mr. Pass-Happy McVay will abandon the pass because of rain? I bet he doesn't. He just can't help himself.

And probably not the best conditions for Cam Akers to make a return. MCvay said Akers will be playing this week....I'm excitedly nervous as hell.

 

[RAMBUSH]

I live in MD. Will be at the game. It's expected to be 60 degrees and maybe rainy

I hear they moved the game time as well.

Seems like the worst conditions for a re-emergence of Cam. Cold weather, rain, wind, etc. One positive is I think Baltimore has a natural grass surface. That's not much, but something.

 

[Karate61]

Yes. It's been moved to 1pm Eastern (10am PST). That helps a bit, as they won't have to play into the cold of the early evening as they would playing 4-7pm EST.

 

[Tano]

I live WV and if it is as warm as expected - I will be going to the game even if it rains a little

Well with Covid and all - I am having a difficult time finding anyone to go with me even though my boss's boss is giving me his season tickets.

Sheesh

 

[Billy Baroo]

Why all the fuss. Game time will be in mid 50’s. Someone’s got some bad intel.

I honestly think McVay is a serious morning person.

We tend to win those early games, and we get our ass kicked in prime time games at night for some reason.

It's like his caffeine rush wears off in the evening or something.

 

[Rams8821]

Yeah looks to be just a light rain, still not ideal but should be ok.

Damn. And with that it's not going to be shown on my sports channel -DAZN.

 

[dieterbrock]

The good thing about the 1pm start is after the Rams win, we can sit back and watch them clinch the division when the Cowboys destroy the Cards

 

[CGI_Ram]

Damn. And with that it's not going to be shown on my sports channel -DAZN.

It shows as scheduled for 1pm ET on DAZN. You don't see it?
