I am NOT complaining about Stafford (I am THRILLED He is the Rams QB) at all but can you imagine the Rams Games if he could play all 4 Quarters like he plays the 4th Quarter?!

Its good that we have confidence you're never out of it with Stafford. I just wish he'd do better earlier in games. Relying on comebacks week after week is playing with fire. So are early INT's. The games we lost we dug too deep a hole to climb out of. I worry that will happen in the playoffs.

I agree.

I wonder if we're going to run the ball more in the playoffs with Cam available. Currently that's a risky proposition with Sony the only trustworthy RB.

I also think McVay and Stafford will have a "playoff" offense/decision making process where we're being more careful.

Stafford in 4th Qtr this season? 11 TDs, 0 INTs. Yesterday? 14 for 14 in second half.

So yes. Worth it.

It took me about half a year, after escaping with a W in the most hostile environment ever (Superdome) I thought we had this even with no Kupp and a basically ineffective TG2 (I can understand those who didn’t rewatch the game, but rewatching it a few times shed a different light compared to my real time impression)

Myself, while those 2 50/50 balls to Cooks can be lamented forever, it was that critical phantom holding penalty on Gurley mid 3rd quarter to the the Patriots 33 or so that really screwed us (it was 3-3 still)

i remember being okay with that bad pick by Goff after the near TD to Cooks, we had our timeouts, still 3 minutes left, it was a one score game, our D was playing well, I looked at it as a pin them deep punt, get them to go 3 and out and make the final drive. (I was concerned we’d tie it up too early before the pick, tho of course I would have taken it)
That moment in the Super Bowl where Goff took so long to find Cooks was something I never really recovered from tbh. One of my worst moments as a fan jumping up and down amidst a sea of Pats fans yelling to throw the fucking ball to the wide open receiver in the endzone. Get that ball out to him on time and it's a different game. You gotta capitalize on opportunities in that moment in time, it's the difference in winning and losing.

Goff was a different QB after that. I think the team lost faith in him too. And then the Rams were idiots to pay him. Hopefully they have finally learned their lesson about locking guys up early.

Actually if Goff had thrown it a yard more to his left

No way would the CB been able to get over in time

Cooks was waiting a good second for the ball to get to him after Goff threw it to him

Cooks could have easily adjusted to the ball in flight

That’s how I saw it after rewatching so many times, he made some damn good throws under pressure I really couldn’t appreciate until rewatching

Ill still maintain that holding call on Whit on Gurleys 30 yard run was a momentum changer, went from driving for a go ahead score to deflation

Bringing back bad memories. How about you add the non-call on clear DPI on Cooks?

How about the non-call on Brady for clearly intentional grounding that allowed them to kick winning FG instead of going to OT where it was Warner’s destiny to win it?

Yeah yeah, different SB, but sheesh why is it these Patriots have stolen two rings from our Rams?!!

Hey hey no reason to relive all those memories. Just bury them deep deep DEEP down and never think of them :quiet:.

New season, new QB, new opportunity to get back to that game. Goff didn't play well, but McVay also had his ass handed to him by Belichick. I suspect when we get back to that game McVay will have a much better plan

Whatever. I just know The Rams play the 9ers though s week.

They have a New QB & if you want to compare trades & the 3 QB’s.

Maybe your talking about Mac Jones being a new QB ? How Belacheat got him & by EX-Ram-OC- by Josh ? Talk about Snisher & Demoff letting them get an edge that helped beat The Rams in there last SuperBowl.

Everyone has there way of looking at things.If you look at this last Rams victory & know football we should see a top QB.Especially when you look at the numbers & what Cooper Kupp did in 16 games. Can you say Bruuuuce? If you look up at the Jumbo Tron know & reflect back at the 2021 year which still the same season the thought of Robert Woods come to mind. If you look at Wolford or Goff maybe sseeing Cam Akers will come to mind ?
All I know is Cam will play a big part of The Rams success. Van Jefferson & Cam doing the 2 point conversion looked a lot better than OBj & Sony Michael. Then if your talking The Rams losing & getting there butts kick you have Sony to reflect on.

I get negative like Sunday,but I also trust in Matthew Stafford.He was so worth trading for for so many reasons.
Well four Int Pick 6’s lead 2021 season in The NFL.
Happy New Years The Rams Fans & will the pick 6’s continue past January 2,022? As a Anaheim Fan I know it’s just another Rams victory. Cheers

Why wasn’t Rod Perry a half inch taller ? Why ask why but then again Why did Eli want to go to the Chargers? Why haven’t they been to a SuperBowl ? Big Ben was there as well,but LT wasn’t a bad 2nd rd pick.Then again WTF that was the Vick trade.Talk about draft history & QB’s ? Lightning Bolt was the extra pick from Giants.Drew Brees was the 2nd rd pick & LT like the 2nd ?

—I do always go back to Chris Long & Ryan (Matt) or Leaf ? Vick was going to Jail & Atlanta needed a QB.Talk about value of a QB ? The Rams should have called Arthur Blanks Bluff & drafted Matt Ryan. Then again we can talk about a tough loss 2016/17 to Belacheat.Then again what about Shanny. Just to Add the 8ers to it all this week & how he has OWNED Mcvay & The Rams ?

Chris Long beating The Rams again after that as well if you want to talk draft picks ? Or was that Chris Long winning it in Philly with Nick Foles ?
I guess you have to add times & dates to know it was one or the other & it has always(must) have been the other.

If you want to talk FACTS we can all look at things the way we see them.I think I at least correct myself.OBj wasn’t apart of Eli’s SuperBowl,but the salsa dancer was.To me he was like a AB who just left Tom Brady’s side.Then again Von Miller & Kurt Warner we’re in it.(wrong on my part ?)

Then again Victor Cruz was a real class act.I’ve watched a lot of football in the past. Saw him catches 3 TD’s in a post season. Knew he was special &needed to make the Giants team. Talk about beating the Pats though. Eli did it TWICE.

Phillip Rivers was a solid QB. Big Ben topped them all.Saw his last game(bowl?) at Miami.He was such a Stud.He lifted with the OLineman. He did a QB sneak I believe to win a game.Either way he ended Heinz in a Classy Way. The Victory formation.I could go on.Saw Eli at Mississippi.I believe beating Peyton coach at Tennessee. Told my dad about how good P.Rivers was at NC State as he won his Bowl Game that season as well.
Victor though was a favorite of mine
After watching the preseason.Yeah I was offshore & saw the Trent Green Cheap Shot.You could talk to me what that meant at the time.I trusted in Kurt Warner though & won’t see the movie.Saw the real thing. I do wonder if Tom Nutten gets much love in the movie. The Austin Blythe? London Fletcher as well ? want to talk about him.He got his first start in the 1998 season. Warner didn’t,but got enough playing time in the loss? Nutten might have been his center that game?He was in Amsterdam.
R. Stevenson ran for 2 td’s against Redskins(sorry) in preseason,but knew
knew Sony was going to be on the blocks & The Rams we’re that team. Xavier Jones got & was cool how it came together.R.Stevenson just had a 100 yard 2 TD game adding to the Pats Rams.

Going back to the SuperBowl run though was crazy.My mind is whacked
Andrew Whitworth- time is time
well saw Chris Longs game at Virgina( micha Fiser 2 who played well last week).
Never knew the difference? Beaten awards ? Knew Whit won one. Then if you want to add college football to it & Rose Bowl.(calis Campbell won the other the next season)

Ohio State cameback to beat Utah.Saw a Gal with a Utah sweeter eating Sunday 2nd & wanted to something. Went to watch game & before Halftime Rams are down 10-0 & Baltimore is trying to score a FG before half. Hundtley throws a INT to Fuller. Running down the sidelines Burgees is the happiest guy on the sidelines.Adter the game who is Burgees with the QB from Utah.Then add before that Matt Gays miss FG (Utah). Of course Fuller was the 4th DB from Ohio st drafted in 2020.

Have to hit past winners to see both. Chris Long won both the same year. I think for his water device ???

When did the new emoji come into play ? Funny

Btw - I do make some Good points,just go overboard.
So here's the thing. You absolutely make some good points at times.

I have to be curious - truly curious - though as to what sets you off to post things like your last few here. I honestly have no clue as to your real point. I even read them twice as painful as it was.

The funny thing is that you will post some fairly logical posts with some really good insight.... And then you do this.

I don't really have a problem with it but you have to admit.... A lot of the stuff you write makes you go "WTF?". I mean, do YOU read what you post?

Probably not like I should. I’m not Ramdom Ram but my post are mostly.

I always say I’ll try to post better.Most of it comes of emotion.Not proof reading from a phone post needs to be corrected. - thanks for the input.
