I think Buffalo is favored for this game with the same fervor from the same pundits that chose them to go to the Super Bowl last year - and they very nearly did. Right now - today - that doesn't hold in my view. I think there's money to be won in Las Vegas if a batch of it goes on the line for Buffalo - and Buffalo loses. I expect the Rams to win by more than one score, but I'm more interby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
And it bears repeating again: Stafford will be throwing to them. We haven't seen that in live action yet, and that's the part of this game I'm most interested in. If there's a rush or leak in protection, Stafford has seen it his whole career before coming here. He knows how to deal with it. He anticipates openings as well as anybody, and can throw a receiver open - that's in addition to the oby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Ahh yes... Az Hakim. Speed afoot, hands of board. Every time Warner threw to him I'd cringe - I expected the ball to bounce off his hands or off his numbers before it bobbled through his hands, and was surprised when it was caught. I remember posting around draft time: No more speedy little wodeouts! Some of you still on board might remember Ram49 and I lobbying for a wideout that was deemby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks! It's good to be back. I was around a lot for the post '99 Super Bowl years, and when organization management/Martz chased Vermiel off, dumped Warner, I just sorta wandered off... and, during that time, life got a little complicated as it often does - no time for much of anything football. Nonetheless, I'd dial up the Herd board every now and then, see what the gang had to say. I waby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll add two to the list: Jon Arnett, back in my high school-early junior college days, in a play that made a cigarette commercial: (Cigarettes were cool back in the late '50's, early '60's - Arnett looked uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the smoking mannerisms, blowing uninhaled smoke at the beginning of the commercial, overlooking an empty Colosseum as the announcer said... "Think backby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed - although we've seen McVey's reluctance to put rookies in before he's convinced they're ready - and in a game against the Bills I wouldn't expect it. If Van isn't 100%, I'd expect Tutu from the redzone back except when down-distance dictated otherwise, and Skow the rest of the time. I'll be real interested over the course of the season to see whether position coaching and extra timeby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember the ball that VJ overran into the endzone that was intercepted by a d-back who high-pointed it. Important play in an important game - remember? Post-game clip showed position coach telling player to stop and go up and get it. IMO that was a perfectly thrown ball - not underthrown - that the receiver could have taken in stride IF that DB hadn't closed on the play. Stafford put thby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
We ain't flyin' under the radar, are we? Tough schedule and uncertainties going in, at this point we have a legitimate chance to win every game we play. That said, injuries are always the joker in the deck. The Bills in our opener will face a fully-stocked Ram team and will probably be our toughest game of the season. We'll get rid of the 49ers early-on and I think our coaches know how to beaby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Fair assessment JM; I'm expecting Boom to be Boom, and not Whit; good journeyman pro just now getting the full-time nod as a starter vs. HOF player and leader. I won't get down on him as he stumbles on that path - it's to be expected. I'm more concerned with keeping him healthy through twenty-odd games than his quality of play - 'nuff said on that point. I also hope to see more two tight eby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
My bad; I misread "Mama Ram as Promised for you!!" as meaning it was gifted to you. Maybe you'll get one in 2022!by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll be watching the Von/Boom matchup on passing downs as plays develop. Von will be a formitable test for Boom - and a taste of things to come as he faces some premier rushers further down the schedule.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
How can we field an overall better team in '22 and lose more than we did in '21? First, we're looking at an as-yet unproven OLine. We know Boom and Shelton as players, and know them both as good journeymen but must expect a reasonable dropoff from the solid pro or HOF players they replace. That's one on each side of the line - left side critical to pass pro, right side critical to already-iffyby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Seriously - congrats, Mama! Pretty nice souvenier at a non-injurious price for a great game to cap a memorable season. Too bad you can't trade rings. though, with Desean. You deserve it more for loyalty than he does...by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Looks perfect for a departed receiver - what's his name? - who got a real ring; this one seems more appropriate for his level of "We not me" contribution to the Super Bowl victory. ;)by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

So a super bowl for a second round pick. We'll get the third back as a comp pick. I'd take that anytime. Let's go get Wagnerby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think it matters how long he was with us. He just has to become a head coach or GM for us to get the two picksby mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
Games over if he gets down. If he scores or worse fumbles the whiners would get it back with over a minute to play, fresh set of downs, and 1 timeout.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it's only for head coach or GM.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com

Did Gay and our long snapper get COVID. If so that would explain not needing backups on the ps but I don't remember if they did.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
If the drop kick kick off would have gone out of bounds would it be Viking ball at the 40. Or would it be treated like a punt and be spotted at the line where it went out?by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
does this mean that the Rams are the only team allowed to expand to China? If so that's a huge market that they can develop. I know the NBA makes a ton of money from China.by mtramfan - RamsFootballFans.com
