And the extra playoff spot got added the next year. And we would've made it that year with the current NFL structure.
This game was soooo much like games in the recent past where the team had to win *despite* the QB.
I hope this was Stafford's last shit game of the season, because they can absolutely win it all if he plays well.. not spectacular.. not great, just well.
He was flat-out bad today. Great, GREAT team win.

One more game ball! Can't forget UDFA Jackson stepping in and playing LT in his first real game action IIRC. Outstanding effort by the young man hope it bodes well for the future.
If not for loving talking about the game as it happens I'd never be in there. I think every week I mention some people need to put their big boy pants on and act like adults.
it was so great , even with Stafford's crap game , but every time the Vikings looked like they were going to make a game of it , the Rams found a way to answer
game ball goes to Sony Michel , he played his ass off today

Whew.
Special teams and defense. Been a while since we could say that.

I think today showed that the team knows how to win when things aren’t going their way - this is crucial for the playoffs. But you’re right - we need Stafford to be solid!
Hopefully we keep winning when they come back
I understand that people vent in game threads - ive been there done that.
But some of the comments get laughable.
I'll say this for Stafford - made some good throws on those last two drives to get points.
We also went from 2/7 on 3rd downs to 7/14 I think.
Seemed like in addition to Stafford being off, the Vikings seemed to decide to prevent the big plays and make us dink and dunk down the field.
Great job by McVay to adjust and Stafford for making a few plays when he just didn't have it today

Patchwork OL was better than expected. D played Great. I figured we would probably lose this game with everything going against us.
2 Practices in the last 14 days (No Wonder Stafford was rusty)
Basically a Thursday game for us after playing Tuesday, but an extra day of prep for Min (and Minnesota being allowed to practice)
Away Game with the home team desperately needing a win (in a loud, tough place to play)
Covid wrecking the roster the past 3 weeks
A patchwork O-Line
3 Turnovers (-2 in the game)
Yet they won, leading wire-to-wire. I know lots of folks on this board will complain about this game, and Stafford, and all the usual gripes; but man, even with all that, they were clearly the better team.

Could be one of the best signings of the year.
It has been since Pharoh Cooper since the Rams have had a true return threat.
Powell definitely deserves a game ball.
My favorite are the silly stuff like fire Morris or DeCamillis and bench or cut this or that player. Just childish, voice your displeasure at a play but calling for somebody to be cut is just beyond bad. Aside from the fact we're needing every body we can get this time of year the fact that they won't cut somebody for something like a missed block, dropped pass or intereception is just bad.
Stafford was really bad. A couple bad picks. Missing open receivers. Essentially handed them their first ten points. But he did find his accuracy with good throws to OBJ for the TD and Kupp on that huge 3rd down play. That is what you get with him. Throws and decisions that make you want to pull your hair out. Then throws that make you say "That is why McVay wanted him".
