The Rams' approach makes way more sense to me.
  • The Afternoon Peak Performance Window:
    The game kicks off at 10:35 AM in Melbourne. For players who stay on Los Angeles time, their bodies will actually feel like it is 5:35 PM on Thursday.
    According to neurologist and sleep consultant W. Christopher Winter, “Athletes generally reach their physical peak in the late afternoon and early evening,” meaning the Rams' body clocks will be primed for a night game.
  • The Adrenaline Buffer:
    Professor Leon Lack, a leading sleep expert at Flinders University, noted that the Rams will have a “crucial adrenaline edge” because the rush of landing and immediately playing will override any travel fatigue before jet lag has a chance to set in.

Ain't no sleep expert.... But I do recall from my traveling days in the Navy, arriving after a bit of a trip that you can be jacked up, and not the least bit ready to crash -- but, it will come!!

I had that same thing happen to me after arriving in Rome, after flying over from the states a few years ago.
I wasn't tired, and being fired up about being there, I found a cabbie and headed over to the original coliseum for a look - see.
I'm thinking that the Rams will be jacked up to go kick some whiner's asses, so I will be expecting the same thing out of them that we both experienced.

At my age, yeah, I'd be having some serious jet lag. But when I was younger, I never felt the jet lag. An all day car ride was worse.

So the Rams should have an Afternoon Peak ... AND ... an Adrenaline Buffer ... AND

... I am struggling to come-up with something both clever and funny but having a Professor named Leon Lack, who is a "Sleep Expert" at an istitution called Flinders ... DAMN IT! ... That seems like plenty of good material.

Nothing bothered me when I was younger, now, on flights, sitting for long periods of time make me stiff, that is why I have Varidesk at work so I can stand more than I sit. On longer flights I always fly business class, it is just more comfortable for someone of my height.

I was lucky. The last few years I had a job I could be up on my feet as much as sitting behind a desk. If I had to sit all day I'd have a numb ass and sore back.

Some talking heads are picking the niners in an upset. The first week unpredictability and all that. The travel. The hype. Is it a win-win? If the Rams lose, it's only 1 game with 16 more to follow. If the Rams win, they're ahead of the field?

Some fans look for a productive offensive performance, what with McVay being the OC guru. I am looking for a productive defensive performance. Since McVay arrived we've had some good week 1 defensive performances. Last year, just 9 points allowed to Houston. In 2023, just 180 yards allowed to Seattle. McVay's very first game as an NFL head coach, 9 points and just 225 yards to Indianapolis might be the bench mark.

You never know what you get in a season opener. Seems like most times the defense is ahead of the offense this early. On paper the Rams are better. But you never know what could happen. I don't expect us to put of a 40 burger this time. Maybe something like 23-16. I'd always love a blow out win but just get out of there with a win and I'm ok with that.

The Rams used the same approach last season for the London trip and beat a playoff Jaguars team 35-7. The same Jaguars that beat the whiners.
