I've lost all "feeling" for this team... have no idea what might happen. I'll tune in and hope for the best.
It's a playoff game for the Rams. I hope they can come out with higher intensity and sustain it throughout the game. They have to keep penalties to a minimum. The offensive pre-snap penalties have been costly. Vegas can be a neutral field which would help.
But you have to admit that ridiculous call on Josh Wallace, even after they could see it was not a personal foul on tape, was one of the most ridiculous calls I've ever seen.
I could tell Wallace let up on the guy in real time. I didn't even need the tape.
It does make you say... WTF!
Could be true.
Last weekend I took my wife to the Keith Urban show at Fontaine Bleau in Vegas.
I saw several Bills caps while walking around the area, so maybe this weekend, it's the Rams fans who will show up.
Side note: after looking at ticket prices (behind the snack booths, I believe), and I think they're some of the most expensive in the NFL.
Almost $380 a seat.
Hard to think we could become sellers at the trade deadline! This feels like a must win psychologically, despite being down 8-9 starters.
We can still get to the playoffs. The team needs to focus on that. We’ll be dangerous if we can make it. One game at a time but damn we’ve been snake bit.
Let’s flip that this week.

Not sure players that are half-a-season from free agency would garner much in return via trades.
If the Rams are not players in 2027 Free Agency; and they lose most of their free agents, the 2028 return in compensatory picks could be much stronger than the 2027 draft capital return for trade-dealine-deals.
Also, should the Rams move on from a couple contracts, they could have significant cap space in 2027 to re-sign many of their free agent class (Nacua, Turner, Young, Dotson, Avila, McClendon are at the top of my list).
That's what I am hoping for ... That plus the brunette on page 231 of the Boobies tread in Off Topic.

But but but he’s not coming back this year lol
Dolac may be an upgrade.
I’ll trade somebody who can cover the middle on pass downs and move laterally for an occasional tackle versus a peanut punch every two games.
If the Raiders know what they’re doing they’ll load the box on Sunday.
Teams appear to be onto the idea that aside from Stafford to Puka, no one else is going to hurt them beyond 10-15 yrds.
Even the run game is toothless to threaten the big play. It’s rough.
Tutu has to show out or this could get ugly. More dink and dunk to the TE’s mixed with 5 yrd runs won’t get the defense to back off.

Dolac is going to get his chance. We'll see if he earns more PT.

You don't think we should tank the rest of the year for draft position?
You don't think we should trade him and Stafford at the trade deadline?
You don't think the season's over?
GOOD !!! The idea of tanking and turning into losers makes me sick.
I want to see my Rams fighting all the way, win or lose, despite the record.

A few posters were suggesting McVay had already decided it’s his last year and/or rams should replace him after the season.
Saw several mention trading/benching Stafford and that Garrett was done for the year it was just the rams trying to string the fans along with hope that he would return lol.
All that to say HELL NO the season isn’t over haha. In my delusional homer mind Rams could finish 13-4 still and win the division. Hell even 10-7 could make the playoffs.
Let’s win this week and then get the reinforcements back starting next week to continue the W streak that starts with the Raiders!
