Carl Banks on WFAN this morning. Talking about Goff, man. It’s like Goff has been playing like his rookie self all season.
It’s incredible.

The first two Super Bowl wins are suspect, and I don't care what anyone says about that differently. They burned the tapes to prove one way or the other, so they get the questions about the legitimacy of them for all eternity.

It wasn't just turnovers tbh. It was also the fact that the Falcons realized we couldn't stop the run and fed it to us non-stop. Or that the Falcons had a nice gameplan to remove Gurley and our young QB wasn't ready to get 'er done. Or that the Rams had some huge plays that almost happened, like the near-safety by AD when the Falcons were saved by a timely crackdown block by the TE.
Re: the Cowboys I don't think previous record means much. They happen to have the strengths that match up well against us, and the Rams are going to have to play better vs the run to ensure they're not pushed around. The wildcard here is Goff, too... Dallas can be had on play action and we added a very strong RB they are going to be concerned with along with Gurley so the play action should be working. If Goff plays how he usually plays at home Dallas should be worried too lol.

Goff is a hard read because he expressionless...he looks the same for the most part. Unless you been watching Goff since college...you don't know.
When you look at him before the game tomorrow, he won't look any different than any other game.
You gotta watch Goff play to see where he is because that's the only way to know where he is mentally.
This we do know...THE RAM OLINE HAS TO BE ON THEIR GAME!!!

Some facts about the Good Morning Football crew you may not know or care about. 
Kay Adams is of Polish descent and speaks fluent Polish.
Nate Burleson, while with the Detroit Lions, fractured his forearm in two places in an early morning, single-car accident. It was reported that Burleson was attempting to save a pizza from falling off a seat in his car and lost control of his vehicle.
Peter Schrager - nothing interesting whatsoever other than that he was once a fat guy.
Kyle Brandt portrayed the character of Philip Kiriakis on the American soap opera, Days of Our Lives from 2003 to 2006.

I like Schrager just because he unapologetically stans the Rams harder than anyone outside of ED and he actually saw the offensive revolution under Mcvay coming long before the 2017 season began.
And for the record that doesn't mean I'm a fan of ED as an analyst just because he's back on the bandwagon now. I don't care about the pettiness that happened between him and Fisher, but I can't forget about the Mannion over Goff debacle. Any amateur armchair scout worth a damn knows who wins that contest after only watching just a couple of snaps (college, preseason, whatever) between the two no matter how bad Goff's rookie year was.
And someone needs to remove the stick from Kay Adams' derrierre, she's giving the rest of female sports analysts a bad name by playing everyone's least favorite snarky devil's advocate ex-girlfriend.

The game is played on the field. The Rams should have beat them. The refs were a question mark as well with the way they let the CB’s hold past 5 yards.

The Ryan TD was the killer while he was slipping in his butt.
Look forward to the game.Will see how it plays out. Not going to over analyze it. The Rams are the better team.

It is just a little absurd, the Rams hadn’t had a winning season in forever and to win the division his first 2 years as a coach is incredible, and I know these idiots are just searching for content but it’s over the top. Today it was “ does it tarnish mcvay’s tenure if he loses in their first game again.” Or how bout this one, “the Cowboys are built the right way whereas the rams are trying to take a shortcut.”
I think that coupled with all the FOM (friend of McVay) bs, the Rams are overexposed right now and guys are taking shots, hopefully after tomorrow they’ll all shut up.

Falcons playoff game when Matt Ryan started to slip in the 2nd half. Think it was a lucky pass. If that play does not happen The Rams win !! IMO !!!

The Rams Heard the Comments, the Trash Talk, the Insults Ahead of Cowboys Matchup
By ROBERT KLEMKO

When a team sits on the shelf for two weeks with a first-round playoff bye, as the Rams did this month, the players might start searching for a pick-me-up. Typically innocuous comments made by the opposing team become bulletin board material, so Los Angeles was watching, and waiting. Then the Twitter alerts popped up on the smartphones of Rams offensive linemen as they were leaving meetings and heading to walkthroughs on Friday morning.
“He is a quarterback. I don’t like quarterbacks,” Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence told reporters in Texas that day. “I go in every week wanting to take a quarterback’s soul.”
Rams fans went about the very necessary work of tagging the social media accounts of the Los Angeles offensive linemen to alert them of Lawrence’s comment, and they noticed. “We’re like, ‘They’re talking about snatching souls? OK!” left guard Rodger Saffold said.
Two days later—after Los Angeles’s 30–22 victory over Dallas, sending them to the NFC Championship Game next week—Rams cornerback Aqib Talib interrupted teammate Jared Goff's postgame network TV interview to respond to Lawrence with an uncensored bomb: “He ain’t taking no f****** soul!”
Earlier in the week Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper told reporters he was familiar with both Peters and Talib, having played for the Raiders in the AFC West, the former divisional home of the two mercurial cornerbacks. “I’ve played against those guys twice a year, both of them. I know them in and out. ... I know how they play, and I’m able to tell my teammates [and] the quarterback their tendencies.”
During the game, Rams cornerback Marcus Peters scrapped and jawed on multiple occasions with the Cowboys’ wide receiver, who hauled in six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Before he even reached the locker room, Peters couldn’t contain himself. “These scary-ass n***** was talkin’ sh**!” he screamed in the direction of Cowboys players as he sauntered through a Coliseum tunnel. “What now?”
Fairly harmless? Peters didn’t think so. “That was for Amari Cooper,” Peters said in the postgame locker room. “He got strapped today. He said he knew us. Looks like he don’t know us too well cuz y’all just lost.”
To say the media interviews coming out of Dallas motivated these No. 2-seeded Rams would be an understatement. The winning locker room was abuzz with recollections of perceived insults from the other sideline and the media. “When I see Stephen A. Smith I’m gonna smack him upside his head!” exclaimed one defensive player.
The Los Angeles offensive line was feeling particularly triumphant, what with a week-long media focus on Dallas’ dominant defensive front, which ranked fifth in yards allowed and yards per carry in 2018. The Rams logged 273 yards rushing Saturday night with three touchdowns (5.7 yards per carry). C.J. Anderson, on his fourth team since April, was interchangeable with Todd Gurley, sledgehammering his way to a team-high 123 yards and two scores.
“The big boys did it,” Anderson said. “All week they was hearing about how the Cowboys defensive line was all this and how they stopped Seattle’s run game.”
The offensive linemen took the Lawrence comment to heart. Ditto for a press conference in which Cowboys coach Jason Garrett rattled off the merits of the Los Angeles offense and did not mention the o-line. Said Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth: “He didn't mention the offensive line, just talked about the skill guys. Last time I checked, we’re the only offensive line in the league in the top-five in passing and rushing, so we’ve got to be pretty daggum good. If we've gotta go earn the respect we will.”
As for Lawrence’s soul-snatching comment? “We heard it,” Whitworth said. “He didn't get crap all night and they got buried. I think we’ve said all we need to say.”
What now? What if the winner of Saints-Eagles on Sunday keeps their mouths shut? Where will these Rams possibly find motivation? Whitworth thinks Rams coach Sean McVay may have already provided it.
Up 23–15 with 7:20 left to play, the Rams faced fourth-and-goal from a yard out. Conventional wisdom said kick the field goal to go up two scores, right? McVay elected to send Anderson off the left guard. Whitworth impolitely moved Lawrence out of the way, Saffold knocked Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith off course and Anderson plunged in for the score. Game, blouses. (A reference to the Charlie Murphy "Prince" video where they play basketball.)

“Coach felt a lot of confidence in us all year in those situations and he felt it there and we went for it,” Whitworth said. “I think he might have felt we needed the touchdown, and really just the message it sent to us. Sometimes thats the biggest confidence booster you can get.”
Said Peters: “That’s where we’re going to win the game in the postseason, with that offensive line, in the trenches.”
