What’s funny is Stafford did this in one of his very first Rams practices back in 2021. Aaron Donald shoved a guard back into Stafford’s lap on a three step drop and Stafford smashed his hand on the linemen’s helmet when he let go of the ball. Then McVay made every single offensive and defensive lineman wear the concussion guardian caps in practice so Stafford didn’t break his hand in a freak accident.

You know, I was thinking about that the other day. Not this specific incident but why teams (especially ones coached by variable control freaks like McVay) don't make the center, RG, and RT wear guardian caps (if QB is right handed). Because more often than not those would be the helmets QBs would smack their hands off of other than defenders which obviously can't control. I'm glad Dotson wears one due to that possibility. Even though they look stupid I kinda wish our whole oline did. One of those "why not" kind of deals.

In that vein I would make our whole secondary wear them. Much rather have balls bouncing off their giant heads than them giving up all the completions they give up.
 
Someone pointed out he went out of rhythm before he hit his hand.
But it certainly didn't help, probably kept him out of rhythm for a while.

The Rams put up 34 points.... What more do you want from Stafford..... Really the Rams should of had 44 points if Puka had caught a ball that was right to him and McVay would have kicked a field goal.

So sick of this narrative. Whaaa. :bigcry:Cry more.

All teams have injuries. The Whiners also had a historically weak schedule. Cry me a river, shut your trap and play.
I'd love to put em outta their misery but I'd like the Seahawks to do it. Can't stand seeing them gain hope especially their stupid fan base. We can then take those Shitbirds out in front of their home crowd. Winning the NFC championship in Seattle then winning the SB itself in Santa Clara would be an epic run.
I never root for that team to do anything but lose. No life! They are like a bad penny. But if the Rams need to take them out? No fear. Get’R’ done.

There is a reason we call them the whiners
 
I have always found it interesting how some are concerned about us playing in varying weather elements. Its not like the opponent is not.

All of these players have played in multiple climates throughout their careers. Some thats all they played in entering college.

The entire coaching staff understand every element of the challenge of any climate. And they are anal as hell to the precise conditions. Hell even Belichick was pissed at the ref at SB 18 when the roof of the Mercedes dome wasn't closing fast enough before kickoff in completely calm conditions. There is a video of him on that.

I don't care what the weather is. Our team will be prepared and our staff will make the appropriate adjustments to get er done.

GO RAMS!!!
 
I'm annoyed by all the weather watching nerds as well.

I'm wondering if they watched the weather for their mommy's to let her know it was okay to hang out the clothes. And provided some analytics to let mommy know the clothes would dry in three hours between 2:00 and 6:00 PM.
