Couldn’t pass up this lil gem

 

[PA Ram]

According to ESPN, which just flashed a graphic there are 64% Patriot fans at the Superbowl vs. 34% Rams fans. Hey--still better than New Orleans. This should be a walk in the park.

They also showed a nice segment in the guy who started the melonheads. For 2 years he was the only one doing it. He did it to excite the crowd. He said it felt like going to a tennis match. Everyone was afraid to make noise. I love fans like this guy. Be a part of the team. Own them.

I think in LA this will have to be a generational thing. If they continue to win the younger fans will move to them. It will just take time.

Don’t quite understand these figures if 30% of the tickets sold were to Atlanta folks?

The Pick
Donald and the pass rush will get to Brady just enough, and Gurley will tally more than 150 yards of total offense. Greg Zuerlein will hit a 44-yard field goal as time expires.

Rams 24, Patriots 21

6 reasons the Rams will beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII

Sitting outside a home depot waiting for it to open. Gotta get a new vacuum and a couple other things.

Heading to the grocery store for a few things as we host just a couple of friends I don't need others that are going to ask questions during the game and then to the liquor store with my game gear on.

I just envision you pacing in front of the tv with a clipboard, saying “We have to score points here...” or “Let’s go win it right now!”

We got this!!!!!! RAMS ALL DAY!!!!!

No idea. They didn't get into it. Just flashed the graphic before the segment about the melonheads. I guess we will see. When they show the crowds it's obvious more Pat's fans are there but there is also a mix of other fans, like Vikes for example.

We will see what the actual stadium looks like tonight

Morning Musings on Gameday: Super Bowl LIII!

Here it is. Super Bowl Sunday.

What was your first thought of the morning?

“Finally, it’s game day?”

“Let’s go get this ‘chip?”

Or perhaps, “Whose House?!?”

Mine was the same it’s been every morning since we landed in Atlanta: How long until the Rams are back on this stage?

No matter how many times friends, family, and peers insist that you to enjoy the moment – and we have enjoyed the moment – it’s human nature to wonder what’s next.

Let’s start our final Morning Musings of the season there.

This isn’t a fluke

Sure, it took a fortunate no-call in New Orleans. And incredible fortune on the injury front.

But make no mistake about this: The Los Angeles Rams deserved to be NFC Champions.

And furthermore, I believe this run has staying power.

You wouldn’t trade Sean McVay for any head coach in the league, including Bill Belichick. His quarterback is perfectly-suited to run the offense. The two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year responded to an historic contract extension with his best year yet.

Most importantly, there’s a standard that’s been set in the two years since McVay arrived in Los Angeles. Whatever roster changes take place around this sensational nucleus, they’ll be expected to uphold a championship culture.

So whether it’s next year or five years from now, yes, I believe these Rams will return to the Super Bowl soon.

(That being said, for today at least, let’s pretend it’s their one and only shot at the Lombardi Trophy.)

Who might we be seeing in Horns for the last time?

Win or lose, there’s going to be turnover this off-season, just as there is on every roster in the NFL. But a victory could be especially poignant for a few Rams and, though they might have said otherwise this week, influence their thinking for 2019.

For instance, if Andrew Whitworth, John Sullivan, or Ndamukong Suh were to win their first ring tonight, might they consider going out on a high note?

If Wade Phillips were to hoist a Lombardi Trophy again tonight, might he opt to pass the coordinator headset?

Regardless of the outcome, what does the future hold for veterans like Roger Saffold and Lamarcus Joyner?

The outcome of Super Bowl LIII is anyone’s guess. The only certainty is that this roster of 53 Rams will never see the field together again.

It’s been a privilege to watch them work.

Unexpected contributor?

The Super Bowl has a track record of elevating unlikely heroes.

Who might that man be for the Rams?

LA substitutes so sparingly on offense that it’s almost impossible to pick from that group, though I wouldn’t be surprised if tight ends Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee have big moments.

On defense, I think Michael Brockers will make instrumental contributions matching the physicality of New England’s running game. Nickell Robey-Coleman commanded the national spotlight this week, so perhaps he’ll have his opportunity against Tom Brady and Julian Edelman.

Maybe it’s JoJo Natson in the return game.

However, I’ve been waiting for Joyner to flash all season. Playing on the franchise tag, coming off a career season, playing next to a rising star in John Johnson, expectations for the fifth-year safety were off the charts. The reception he allowed Ten Ginn, Jr. and the Saints in the NFC Championship nearly ended the Rams season in New Orleans. If the moment presents itself again tonight, I don’t suspect he’ll miss it.

Be your best when your best is required

All season, the Rams have been what McVay calls situational masters. Super Bowl week already has presented a wide array of situations that are unique to America’s biggest sporting event, and tonight’s game will undoubtedly bring many more.

The 2018 season also challenged Los Angeles in completely unforeseen ways: from football deficits like they faced (twice) in New Orleans, to a December slump, to actual tragedies like the Borderline Shooting and Woolsey Fire.

Those collective experiences are what forged these Rams, and they are what the Rams will fall back on tonight.

If the 46 players who dress and their coaches are at their best for four hours, they’ll be champions. There’s no question their best is enough to beat the Patriots.
