152 wins and 85 losses is why in a NFL (not for long league) 9 times - 10 or more wins 0 losing seasons in 15 seasons 2 superbowl appearances and a superbowl win That is an incredible resume. His teams are always high energy is what I like.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

Arians did great with Cardinals 10, 11, 13 wins with Palmer as his QB who was a below 500 QB up until the time Arians got him. and now he comes back and wins a superbowl with Brady who is over 40. Brady is not the GOAT. He just has had the 2 best coaches in the NFL as his coach. On top of that, Arians has that aggressive attacking approach. the SF coach to me is completely overrby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
To get the good, sometimes you have to accept the bad, but in the end playing to win versus not to lose is how you build a confident championship team. Always playing scared leads you to those 6-10 years that we experienced between Martz and McVay.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
There were 2 paths last year 1) After the Patriots game, there was this celebratory mood on this board with a dominating 24-3 defensive performance. But what was missed in the rubble was a dismal second half performance offensively of running and punting. This idea that the Rams could dominate on defense an entire season was way out there as far as I am concerned, but there was plenty ofby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Great find! #1 winning percentage of all active coaches You could make the case he is #2 behind Belicheck looking at that chart, but I put 1) Arians with him with 2 superbowl appearances with difference teams (just love his attack attitude on offense) 2) Reid longevity winning season after season for decades with 2 different teams as well But the argument can be made that McVay is #2 coby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and people act like he is like 25th 1) Belicheck 2) Arians 3) Reid 4) McVay And the complaints about passing are misplaced. Passing is what wins in the NFL and has been for quite a number of seasons. Go look at the final 4 last year. Even when the run is successful like yesterday, it is passing that creates a running game.

Yes. He should be the first receiver ever to get the MVP. If you follow the games this year, there are so many games where his plays are the dagger in the heart of the opponent including that last drive this week. He is more than stats though with his leadership of preparation that shows the teammates what doing extra is all about. And there is all the little things he does.

If the Rams get the #2 seed and the Bucs get the #3 seed, this provides the best path to the superbowl. Kupp needs to dominate these last 3 games to win those games. He is the straw that stirs the drink! I can't see the Rams catching the Packers because of head to head. But with the injuries to the Cardinals and Bucs WRs, the Rams right now have a window to slide into that #2 slot.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Much has been said of Kupp's pursuit of 1st WR triple crown in almost 20 years 1) Receptions 2) Receiving Yards 3) Touchdowns However, what is missed is his big play results. Best yards after catch over the past 3 years and this stat this year. 1) 1st in receptions more than 40 yards with 8 2) 1st in receptions more than 20 yards with 24 He is much more than a 3rd and 4, catch aby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Love the video. Love the Manning stories, but the favorite part is this: The separation is in his preparation! and at the 6:25 mark how Kupp had to relearn how to run after ACL surgery and used that as a way to eliminate imperfections in his stride. He studied video in his stride, breaking it down in slow motion to refine. Between 1.5 and 2.0 miles per hour faster.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He may be down but still the best player in the game. 7 wins in a row on a team that doesn't have much other than Hill and Kelce. Think about the parameters 1) Bottom 1/3 defense 2) Only 2 weapons (Hill and Kelce) 3) Average line 4) Average running game And 2nd best record in the NFL behind the greatest of the great with Aaron Rodgers.

Rams beat Tampa 35-32 in shootout with Brady that is my dream scenario where Cooper Kupp puts up 10 catches for 150 and scores a go ahead TD with like 1 minute left on one of his crafty catch and runs. Than Brady leads Tampa in field goal range, but gets greedy and holds the ball too long and Donald puts him on his back and causes a fumble with like 20 seconds left and the Rams recover.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I liked the call going for 2 in that situation from a football team identity that we believe we can win, but I don't know the percentages. If you only make the 2, like 30% of the time, I would use analytics and kick it for the 1 point. Either way Rodgers is going to go for the win, if you tie with the extra point or take a 2 point lead so Rodgers being on the other side is kind of irreleventby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
The 49ers should be a team that competes for the superbowl every year with all that talent, but there is too much focus on running the ball which stifels the team. While they are doing great now, the odds to get a lead in 4 straight playoff games where they can play that ball control offense against good teams is just unfavorable.

Maybe having a job and access to medical insurance provides the better path to health safety than locking everybody down where you have no choice. What is missed in this is that each person controls their own destiny or at least should.

Have always argued for Rodgers greatest player ever but Brady has all those superbowls. I have softened the stance on Rodgers because of his piddling when trailing late in a game. He doesn't get the team up to the line of scrimmage with tempo very well and despite his obscene QB stats, that ability to lead a team when time is an element is a hole in his game.

This isn't to say you don't run at all. If you can get first downs running the ball and work your way down and score, that is great. You have success and establish a lead and control the game because your defense is getting stops. But what really puzzles me is typically it makes sense to abandon the run because that is the reason you fall behind. The other team scores and you don't becaby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
a complete collapse by the Cardinals is needed to win the division and that is so unlikely. Assuming the Rams will lose 1 more game, the Cardinals need to lose to the Rams to the Seahawks and one other team Not sure if the tiebreaker would fall the Rams way or not Rams would have to win the remaining division games and have only 1 remaining loss.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
1) Bruce He did it every way and made the biggest play in Rams history, turning an interception for the defense and a probably lost into a game winning touchdown for the Rams. He did it when he was the only weapon on a bad team and did it when he was one of many on a superbowl team and did it forever with being like top 5 or 6 all time in receiving yards.

You win by passing in the modern day NFL. That has been the story for a long time in this league. That isn't to say you don't run at all, but you need to move the ball through the air and get chunks of yardage versus just running it and punting it. 3 TDs and 295 yards pass Had the Rams not passed the ball so frequently, the rushing attempts don't come because you are always punting versby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes. other teams have injuries. Some want to pick up the Packers 3 offensive lineman. Maybe the 3 that replaced the starters are just as good or better. The Rams run through Kupp and Woods and they play off each other as as noted these guys are extra special because they do more than just catch passes.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
There is a big crowd here for the Rams to dummy it down and run it and punt it to stay away from turnovers. A couple of things: 1) You are not going to beat the great teams with the run it and punt it approach unless you are the 85 Bears in today's NFL. 2) Even with the average to good teams, you need a dominant defense for the run it and punt it approach on offense.
