So, Are You Lovin' Preseason This Year?

[Loyal]

My whole football life, I've hated Preseason (especially when it was 6 games long). But, it seems a little different this year as we watch recent draft picks getting after it. Our defense has been kicking Home Depot employee donkey, but is it real? Beau Limmer is pretty darn good.

So what do you think? Is Preseason more fun this year? It sure looked like a pretty full SoFi stadium this weekend.

Backups looking good so far. When was Pre-Season 6 games, 5 at most for the HOF game for a team I thought.

It will be interesting to see what a “Renters” home crowd is like when playing against the “Owners.”

Preseason homer.

I wonder what The Rams home opener will look like,or do I dare say Levi South ? It will be disgusting & disappointing if it’s not a blue & gold.
1 thing we know is at the Renters game it will be all blue & gold.

As a long time RAMS FAN,I respect those renter fans.There were a lot of Ram Fans that became Charger Fans when they left.

I respect those Charger Fans that stayed Chargers Fans than the ones who flip flopped when The Rams came back.

Oldbutnotdead is one of those fans,I guess,but still Ram Fans are Ram Fans so respects.

still I want to see that infestation of all those F’’””” nine fans to be controlled better at SOFI Stadium.
I know Kevin Demoff wants the same & because of scheduling it should be full of Rams Fans.

To think 2 road games & come Home to a Stadium full of Red is not what I want to see.

I enjoy preseason & almost went Saturday against the Hags.

So far so good. I like how McVay protects his starters.

Things were a tad different back then, brother. Much different

 

[HitStick]

In years past (pre McVay) I was more concerned with having starters (if we saw the depth players in the regular season we were screwed) so preseason was boring. Now that we have starters in place, it’s fun to see our depth.

Great time of year and yeah loving preseason

Rams played their first game since a playoff month loss 7 months ago. If somebody doesn't love that they have issues.

A fun preseason story from long ago(1951) I read about. The Rams once played three teams in a single game; and that's not a typo.

Back when teams would play non-NFL teams in the preseason, the 11th US Naval District wanted their service football teams to play against the Rams. So the NFL came up with a format that's never been seen since. Instead of two halves or four quarters, the game would be split into three 20 minute periods, like hockey does. The Rams played one team for 20 minutes, then that team would leave and another would take the field for the next 20 minutes. Then, again, for the last 20.

Rams won against all three by an aggregate score of 55-2. But that would've fun to see.

I really enjoy watching the younger players and the recent draft picks play. I watch the game completely differently, with no stress. I focus on different players or groups instead of the game as a whole.
It's taken a long time to get to this point and I now enjoy it quite a bit especially since we are down to 3 games.

Insofar as the Rams are like a drug....

Preseason feels like a "fix" after going without for far too long.

Yeah it's a watered-down crappy version of the real thing.... but close enough!

Yeah I thought I remember watching the Steelers play against the college all stars when I was a kid.

I like preseason. Always have. This last game was great. Got to see so many new players on the team excel, and a surprise sweet performance from Logan Bruss. Was fun watching Stetson run around, and the last td drive was awesome. This game has me so pumped up for the season to get going. I think we gonna have a kick-ass team this year. Absolutely no chance the equipment manager gets fired any time soon!
