Yeah, I was thinking about buying one but they are 800$ I have a couple of generators and all that. But a pain to hook up and start just for the power going out for one night. I found mine at a pawn shop for 400$. Looks brand new. Also bought another 200W solar panel they had so I have 2 of them for my unit.
What I really wanted mine for is the drag strip. My car (69 GTO) has a belt driven fan and water pump. Going to electric pump and fan. Don't want to listen to a generator in my pit cooling down the engine between rounds.

You got skills. My brother had a '67 GTO stock convertible, Burgundy Black top. I got stuck in the middle of back seat on cool Easter ride.
Pawn shop is a good idea. I need something.

For me they are top 4 most obnoxious in the NFL in my opinion behind 69ers, Pats, Eagles fans.

I would agree 110%. I hate all 4 of those teams. My order for fanbases would be... niners, patriots, eagles, seahawks*

*I don't know any Seahawk fans
 
It's as close of a championship matchup as you can get. If the Rams can stop or slow down the run game, they will have a big edge. Stafford over Darnold. Rattle Darnold early on. Play smarter when you have the Hags in 3rd-and-long.

He suggested 14 personnel. No room for a WR in that grouping.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about "a package".
They run many packages during a game;
13 personnel is three tight ends and usually one wide receiver and one running back.
That's one type of package for example.
Then we have three wide receiver sets and a lot of teams use two running backs.
All of those are different "packages".
I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

Regardless, if you trot out a 14 “package” there is no room for a WR.

The safeties would drop and clog passing lanes because they know any TE can't run past them. And they'd be there to stop the run. If the weather is horribly windy it might make sense to run and try to maul people, but that's about it.

If they do that, sounds like a perfect opportunity to run play-action and send Ferguson deep.

Uncanny.
I was just about to post something to that effect.
I keep seeing Ferguson catching a bomb down the middle of the field like he did in London vs Jax.

Two minds can make it happen.

Seriously, when the defense gets stressed trying to contain Adams and Nacua…a big hit to WR3/TE will be a backbreaker.

Never thought I’d say this in a million years, but I like our black uniforms….

I’m in the same boat.

I hated them when I first saw them.
Hated them leading up to the game.
Shook my head watching them roll onto the field in them.
A friend texted me saying how cool he thought they were.
I still felt they were an abomination.

Re-watched the game last night.
I liked them.

I don't know that McClendon can play LT. Probably not. But maybe a small chance he can do it without it being a disaster.

Some guys are strictly RT and can't flip back and forth.

Guys that can play both often back up LT and still train at RT a little. They're basically a guy who can more athletically handle pass rushers on that side and when they switch to RT it's not as big a deal whereas a RT may be strictly a RT who can't handle the speed and agility on the LT. (None of this takes into consideration how well they can flip their technique which is it's own skill).

That's why it's most likely that Humphries as rough as he looks is the superior player at LT to McClendon.

Better to find a tackle in the draft. One that can backup at LT and cross train at RT. You just really can't do the opposite.

Having a Tackle in development seems like a good plan—all of the time. That’s why I was surprised when the Rams dealt leveston so quickly.
Do the Rams even have someone currently in development at Tackle on the PS?

Just some positive numbers for the Rams vs the #6 defense in the NFL (Seattle), #1 in points allowed.

1. The Rams have averaged 29 ppg vs Seattle or 11.8 ppg more than Seattle's average
2. The Rams have averaged 121.5 yds rushing per game vs Seattle, 29.4 YPC more than Seattle's average
3. The Rams averaged 4.0 per attempt (3.98) vs them while Seattle's average was 3.7.

Some really positive numbers to take into account, that Puka, Kyren, Corum and the TEs might like.

1. The Seahawks were ranked #23 in missed tackles, having 110. There were only 9 teams who missed more tackles.
2. The Seahawks were ranked #27 in YAC allowed (2060 yards).

Let’s hope it plays out that way.

The numbers all sound well and good, but looking at where these two teams have been playing over the last month and there is clearly an advantage to Seattle in terms of rest, wear and tear.

…but there’s something the stats don’t bear out. The absence/return of Dotson and Lake showed big last game. An effective run game spawns the play action attack—the McVay staple. After being a bit rusty, both Lake and the secondary looked much improved last week.

I would add that because of Fiske and Young being banged up lately, the Rams have been cycling in a lotta depth. Fresh bodies on that front 5 creates opportunities for TOs.

I’m up too fucking early for this game!
Lol.

This is true. Seattle has had a couple of road games, one a tight game for the #1 seed which they won, a bye and a game vs SF where they were ahead from the jump. No stress, good rest. The Rams have endured stress level DEF-CON 7. A Monday Night loss to Atlanta, a cake walk vs Arizona, another stressful matchup at Carolina where a comeback was needed, and yet another stressful matchup in cold, snowy, Chicago with the miracle maker where a comeback was needed due to another miracle. Tested? They're not tested, they're transformed. It's got to feel like, "okay, what's next? What are we going to have to overcome? Let's get on with it!! We get a long bye after the Super Bowl"

I think the return of Dotson and Lake in previous games have allowed them to knock the rust off. Yes, the secondary has looked better. Remember, we have 7 takeaways in the last 4 games and 3 the previous game vs Seattle. 10 in 5 games. That's a good trend coming into a game vs Darnold. With the return of Dotson and Lake vs the loss of Charbonnet, I like our odds. I liked our odds before I heard of the Charbonnet injury.

It is going to be yet another test for this team. It's not going to be easy......their D is really good. A couple of short fields will help. I don't expect another 500 yard game but I also don't expect a 250 yard game. And I do expect our D to play much better than the last time we met. Let's go!!!!!

Alright Ramily….. what to do, what to do…

Do I wear my regular Vapor Donald jersey at game time like I have the last 2 games?

Or do I break out the big guns… an 100% Authentic game Donald jersey?
