QuoteDeadpool if I don't take his comments about DCs becoming head coaches or literally anything else in life seriously. That might be a little harsh, Dead, but I do get where you’re coming from. A good HC requires a different skillset than a good coordinator. We’ve seen evidence of that for years, the latest including Vic Fangio. Similarly, a player needs a different skillset than a DC.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep. Here’s my take. Whit either retires, is traded, or released. It’s time, plus the cap savings are needed elsewhere. Boom is extended at whatever the market price is. Boom has earned it and will be a fine LOT for years. Maybe not a Pro Bowler, but still a top third player there. Maybe even better than that. Alaric Jackson will assume Boom’s role as backup.

Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless This game is obviously OVER. Now let's see Odell's Rams take their Hollywood show on the road, at GOAT. My $$$ is on the one man in sports I do not bet against. 6:35 PM · Jan 17, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteZooey GB had a week off, and they're home. 9ers have a short week, and have to travel on one of those days. And this will be SF's 14th consecutive game since their bye. I still think the 9ers can win, though. Packers will be favored in this game and for obvious reasons. But the 49ers are a very dangerous team. If the Packers make just one big mistake they might find it fatal.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 Quotechico n da rams I can't prove it because I don't have the all 22; don't know that I'd be able to figure it out even then, but I'd be willing to bet Morris made some changes for the Cards game in the defense. And for that he should be commended. He did a fantastic job. when it comes out, the All-22 but it is funny to watch people speculate with no clue--the hatersby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

6 takeaways from Rams' 34-11 win over Cardinals Cameron DaSilva The Arizona Cardinals didn’t put up much of a fight against the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round on Monday night, similar to the way nine of their previous 10 meetings went. The Rams made things look easy with a 34-11 win at home, ending the Cardinals’ season in dominant fashion. The Rams are still alive in theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Breaking down the final 4 teams in the NFC playoff field Zach Kruse The Los Angeles Rams beat up on the Arizona Cardinals in the final game of the NFL’s Wild Card Round on Monday night. The field of four is now set in each conference. In the NFC, it’s the Rams, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

Late in the season he finally made adjustments that have improved results. He took far too long, but better late than never. He has probably done enough ‘adjustments’ to save his job and get a 2nd year with McVay. This would fetch the Rams 2 future 3rds as comp picks, btw. If he continues next year with this more aggressive (and successful) version of his D then I think teams will beat a paby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Miller is also outstanding at contain, too. That’s an important part of his value that probably doesn’t get him as much attention as it should. Another thing I admire about Von Miller. He rarely misses tackles. That can’t be overstated. Yeah, Miller is gonna be pricey, heck he’s already cost us a 2nd and a 3rd, but I’m a big fan. He’s a helluva football player and human being.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Took a while, but now they are firing on all cylinders. Kicking, punting, coverage, and return units are all producing at very high levels. Early in the season I was very critical of DeCamillis but now his units are ALL kicking butt. Kudos to DeCamillis for the turnaround.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, Burgess’ play was very gratifying last night. We may never know the background story of why he rode the pine so much this year.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m not so sure that this D is better with Rapp on the field, tbh. Just sayin’.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Can Morris find a way to get consistent pressure on Brady? If he does, we win. If he cannot then Brady will attempt to slash us all game with short quick passes. Morris must somehow solve that problem. I do not fear the Bucs running game. As always, turnovers will probably determine the winner in this one. Duh. Would love to have Jones healthy enough to play this week. I will saby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

C’mon, George. Don’t tease us, man. Your reports are pure gold and we can’t wait!by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
It’s all about results, and the results were truly impressive. Morris was aggressive throughout, successfully schemed around the losses of Fuller, Jones, and Rapp. Players tackled well and executed practically flawlessly. Hell, the Rams D simply smothered the Cards and the Cards seemed to know their fate by the mid-1st quarter. That rarely happens in a playoff game. Yep, one could make aby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
IF the Rams bring another well designed gameplan with good playcalling by both McVay and Morris, AND players execute as they did against the Cards… Well, let’s just say that the Rams will be VERY difficult to beat. But those are some big ‘IF’s’, huh?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM in next week’s games. This is early, of course… but I doubt the ratio changes much. 60% have the Titans beating the Bengals 88% have GB beating the Niners 57% taking TB over the Rams 60% Bills defeating KC None actually ‘surprise’ me… but the spread in the GB/Niner game is more than I expected. Personally I think the Niners are going to beat GB. Niners have many key playby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jimmy is waxing poetic tonight. I enjoyed that read, man. Myself? I’m taking great pleasure in seeing all parts of this team pull it together for at least this one game. Been a long time coming but it was wonderful to watch when it finally arrived. Let’s see… Uber efficient O, smothering D, and ST that looked elite. If these coaches and players can keep it up for 3 more games, well…by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I look forward to your review. Also, I would appreciate your take on Burgess’ play. Thanks in advance.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Anybody disagree with that statement? The rest of the playoffs should be absolutely amazing. Any of the remaining teams could get hot for a 3 game streak and hoist the Lombardi without too many raised eyebrows, don’t you think? I’m gonna go waaaaay out on a limb, just for funsies, and predict a Rams-Bills SB. Rams would then get HFA, of course. Best time of the NFL year. Better buckleby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Timing is so important. And in game 18 the ‘good’ Burgess finally shows up. Yes, my tongue is firmly in my cheek. Seriously, kudos to Morris for overcoming the losses of Jones, Fuller, and Rapp quite nicely. Aggression in a talented D can do amazing things.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog QuoteRams43 Those calls looked bad to me from my TV live. Replays only confirmed what I thought I saw on both. NFL playoff officiating should be better.

QuoteJamesJM I do not recall in any game winning two challenges and then being awarded a third.... although it 'seems' like I remember that... but not the Rams. It’s unfortunate that the refs missed both calls and forced McVay to use his challenges in the first place. This was a strange weekend for the zebras. And in the playoffs for crying out loud.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
