Like every single one of our wins this year, it is about the opponent. A little bit of love from good morning football on our defense and us as a potential Super Bowl contender but main stream heads are just talking about Cam and pats.

Next week we won’t make the headlines cause it’s the jets.

The Rams Danced On The Grave Of The Patriots Dynasty

Cam Newton #1 of the New England Patriots is sacked by Aaron Donald #99 of the Los Angeles Rams


A stat you tend to hear nowadays in the middle of most Rams games is that head coach Sean McVay is undefeated in the nearly three dozen games in which his team has gone into halftime with the lead. That impressive mark came up again as L.A. took a 17-3 advantage into the break on Thursday night against the Patriots. But, with New England’s 45-0 destruction of the Chargers still fresh on everybody’s mind, you’d be forgiven if the Belichick mystique made the 14-point deficit feel much smaller than it otherwise might have.
After 15 more minutes of football, however, not only were the Patriots looking absolutely worthless compared to their playoff-bound opponents, but their entire season seemed like it was done. The Rams shored up their lead by playing maybe the most flawless quarter I’ve ever seen, as they earned three sacks, forced two punts, and scored a touchdown on a 10-minute, 16-play drive to go up 24-3, which would stand as the final score.

The combination of New England mistakes—like a neutral zone infraction on 4th-and-1 in the red zone—and Rams dominance—Cam Akers ran it 29 times for 171 yards, with 63 of them coming on that 90-yard clock-eating drive—was enough to perhaps mark the unofficial end of a dynasty. ESPN now gives the 6-7 Pats a mere six percent chance of qualifying for the playoffs, which makes them the worst team still mathematically alive in the AFC, by a wide margin, and would stop an 11-year postseason streak if it holds. It would take not only a perfect final stretch for the 10th-place Patriots to earn more football, but also critical losses by the Dolphins, Colts, Raiders, and Ravens.

This was a statement win for the Pats’ old Super Bowl foes, who sit atop the toughest division in football and have proven that their offensive and defensive lines can just completely dominate a game. But the more interesting story out of this lopsided contest is: Where does New England go from here? With Cam Newton a free agent after this season, the calls are growing louder for him to be permanently sidelined in favor of unproven backup Jarrett Stidham. Newton has been unremarkable under center in his time up north, making an impact primarily by running as he’s thrown twice as many interceptions as his five touchdown passes. With just three games left in the season, it makes sense that the Patriots would give Stidham a few chances to show what he can do, so they can make a more informed decision about how to fill their starting job in the offseason. But Bill Belichick doesn’t quite seem ready to do that.

“Cam’s our quarterback,” Belichick clarified multiple times at the post-game press conference despite benching Newton in the fourth quarter, elaborating very little on that declaration as he pretty clearly tried to project a confidence that New England’s season wasn’t literally over just yet.

“Jarrett has worked hard. He’s tried to take advantage of his opportunities. But that’s not really the point,” he did say.

Football has been better and more interesting for all of the Patriots’ ongoing, frustrating success over the last two decades, but the collapse of this empire—both as Tom Brady struggles to succeed consistently in Tampa and his legendary former coach fails to carry on the franchise’s tradition of winning—is perhaps just as fascinating. The Patriots are now a vehicle through which a bold contender like the Rams can make themselves appear powerful on national television, but as a winner in his own right Belichick is essentially back to square one, a place he hasn’t been since Mo Lewis nearly ended Drew Bledsoe’s life. There are no easy answers here, no escalator that the Patriots can take to quickly regain the same status they had in 2016. But seeing them try to find a way back will either be a masterclass in reloading a team, or the best schadenfreude that the NFL has to offer.

Rams vs. Patriots: Cam Akers has a breakout game - Turf Show Times
Cam Akers is the backfield presence the Rams have been craving
The rookie looks primed to take LA’s offense to a new level.

By Brady Klopfer
New England Patriots v Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams’ rushing attack early in the season wasn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson Jr. had plenty of moments that were valuable and productive.

But it certainly wasn’t a dynamic attack.And then along came Cam.

The Rams drafted Cam Akers in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft with hopes that he could be the type of dynamic attack out of the backfield that could elevate a good team, and turn it into a great team. And while it took a little while for Sean McVay to start to use Akers in that role, the Rams are now getting the type of return on their investment that we should all strive for in our portfolios.
Through the first 10 weeks of the year, Akers played in eight games and had 50 carries for 201 yards and no touchdowns, and three receptions for 27 yards and one touchdown.

And then he found his groove, and the Rams started using him more. Or perhaps the Rams started using him more and he found his groove. It’s a bit of a chicken or the egg situation.

In the Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Akers had nine carries for 84 yards and one touchdown. In last week’s win against the Arizona Cardinals he had an old school game: 21 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown, and one reception for 22 yards.
And on Thursday night, as the Rams crushed the New England Patriots 24-3, LA repeatedly leaned on their rookie back, and he repeatedly rewarded them for doing so. Akers ran the ball 29 times for 171 yards, with a pair of receptions for 23 yards.
The 171 yards was the most rushing yards by a rookie this season, and the 194 yards from scrimmage were only 26 fewer than the Patriots entire offense.

It was a dominant showing. Akers ran 35 yards on just the game’s second play from scrimmage, and immediately set the tone for the night.

WHAT. A. RUN.@thereal_cam3 with a 35-yard run to set up the score‼️ pic.twitter.com/SMjAy5y6P0

His performance took some pressure off of quarterback Jared Goff, who was able to slide into something of a game manager role. And it certainly invigorated a fanbase that has been craving some offensive performances to match the dominant defense.

A Star is Born! Wow!!! A diamond in the Rough

Cam is the man, exactly what I wanted to see, keep pressure off Goff and play great Defense. More rushing yards than Goff had throwing. Thank you mcvay.

Dude is consistently getting yards! I love it!
— soccernicholas6 (@soccernicholas6) December 11, 2020

His vision is CRAZY!!!
— Joseph E. Johnson IV (@jejiv_) December 11, 2020

Yup, that’s about right.

We’ve known for months that the Rams would have an all-world defense. How far they could go this year was dependent on how much the offense could try and match it.
There’s a long ways to go. But right now Akers is proving to be the type of weapon that can be an X factor when the lights are brightest.

It’s still Goff’s fault, I heard one guy say Goff didn’t play much better than Cam, another said Goff kept the Pats in the game.
To my eyes the game plan was solid, the pats were not good against the run and running the ball keeps your qb out of jeopardy. It was pretty clear that the Pats offense was gonna have a hard time scoring points so giving them a chance for a strip sack would be reckless. Goff made some good throws, the td to Kupp for one, Goff had some drops, one from Reynolds and one from Woods come to mind, and a pick. That throw was low and inside, Woods tries to make a play for his qb and the db makes a great play to take it away. The pats didn’t score on that drive and actually the rams did on a pick six, and that was basically the game.
There was a lot of talk about the super bowl and Goff and Mcvay’s performance and maybe if McVay had done some of the things they did last night like less play action, more 3 tight ends, even I formation, the results would have been better.
Goff doesn’t need to be the reason they win, the defense is elite, the running game is emerging. McVay loves 11 personnel but he might finally be figuring out that he needs a plan b or c.

I know, she let her dirty secret slip :LOL: Sorry Kay, we already knew
They said they were going to revisit it....I never saw that happen. We still don't know the story.

Also, Kay looks amazing in Rams gear.....she would look even better out of it.

She along with Von Miller and one other guy I forget who were on Twitch last night doing a live chat watch of the game and I think she mentioned it during that.
