I was at 1976 Saints game - 2 months ago
It was in Superdome. Hank Stram was Saints coach. Merlin Olsen led the team in opening laps. Rams won a close ugly game.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

LaPorta is fantastic - 2 months ago
Quotesince68 Thank you for setting me straight. I looked up Kittle - 4.52 and LaPorta - 4.59 The fastest TEs in the league now are: Evan Engram - 4.42 Noah Fant - 4.50 Gesicki - 4.54 So, Ferguson's 4.63 is the fastest this year?, but not close to the fastest ever, or since 2003 at least. How much difference is there between 4.59 and 4.63? 4 hundredths of a second! How do you thiby max - RamsFootballFans.com

There is only one Lombardi - 5 months ago
For those of us who remember the 60's and what Lombardi was during that time, there’s no question who the greatest HC of all time is. Lombardi was bigger than life. A tour de force, a great leader of men, revered by everyone in football, and with the highest level of integrity. I met him once in NY as a high school boy at an awards dinner. It was as if God was in the room.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes but... - 5 months ago
Back then there were only 14 teams in the NFL. And the Packers only had to beat 2 teams in the playoffs to win the NFL title. They won 2 SBs against the AFL that wasn't quite up to the NFLs level at that time.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
If he’s half of Deacon Jones I’ll be elated - 5 months ago
I grew up watching Deacon. I saw him do things that only Donald could do, maybe. I saw Jones split a double team on the goal line against the Cards in 1970 and almost take the hand off. At times he was not human.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Do you think Philly fans care either way? They’re gross. - 5 months ago
Philly fans are indisputably cretinous. They relish their reputation. NOBODY outside of Philly likes them, and many of them hate each other. We are not talking about normal civilized people. Who else has a jail in their stadium? And needs it! Simply put, Philly is gross. And everyone knows it, including them. So how do you handle gross disgusting low life’s?

McVay is ahead of us all… - 6 months ago
We have the best coach in the NFL. At this point, doubting him is tantamount to questioning if water is wet. Go ahead if you want to look foolish. It seems like going into Philadelphia and that environment there is not a good shot at winning. But as long as we’ve got McVay we’ve got a much better chance than anyone imagines.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

54 - 46 in favor of Vikings fans - 6 months ago
According to the @VividSeats, the crowd at State Farm Stadium tonight is projected to be 54% Vikings fans/46% Rams fans, based on ticket data. Let’s be honest, people in LA are in tragedy mode. They were not protected by their elected officials. I am deeply saddened and angry at the same time.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Met Jake at Giants game in 2017 - 6 months ago
I met him and his old partner Blane at halftime of the Rams beat down of the Giants in November of 2017 in a cold rainy game. They were both big Wentz guys and hated that Rams took Goff instead. Nice kids. Very ambitious and confident.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Jake is relentless worker. - 6 months ago
He knows a ton about the team and players. My only criticism, if you can call it that, is he extremely overvalues Rams players. He says our bench warmers are elite talents. So if you want objective reporting, he’s not your guy. Otherwise, he’s got good data.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams likely traveling across country on less rest… - 6 months ago
If Rams beat Vikings, it’s quite possible we will have to travel across the country to either Philadelphia or Tampa on a days worth of less rest. There are 4 possible outcomes of the 2 other NFC playoff games. In 2 of the 4, we go to Philadelphia or Tampa. I think Wash is getting overlooked. They won 12 games and people talk about them like they’re a 9 win wildcard team.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks Les - 6 months ago
As you know, I’ve been a Rams fan from the old George Allen days. I actually get a kick out of the newer guys telling me what a Rams fan should say and not say. Did I tell you Jourdan Rodrigue published my story about Merlin Olsen from 1970 in the recent book on the Top 100 players of all time? Very cool.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Not looking forward to going to Detroit again... - 6 months ago
Quotestlramz Quotemax Thank Goodness we got that SB win. That's a big deal. Goff looks fantastic. But that Super Bowl ring is forever. Yup. It was worth the trade to get it. Still, how many guys were wrong about Goff? Not pointing fingers but they’re the same guys who complain just about everything.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Not looking forward to going to Detroit again... - 6 months ago
How many times do we want to get beat by Goff? The Lions love beating us with Goff. And you know Goff will savor every moment rubbing it into McVay in the playoffs. My worst nightmare is McVay leaving us with the prospect of losing to Goff and the Lions for the next 5 years. Thank Goodness we got that SB win.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Darnold looks very shaky - 6 months ago
Darnold was seeing ghosts. If we can pressure him I think he’ll revert back to the old Darnold. He doesn’t seem to process quickly enough. That was the knock on him before. I think Daniels would have presented a tougher challenge. So yeah, I think we got the better match up. Best case scenario is we beat Minnesota and TB beats Washington. I’d rather go to Detroit than Philadelphia.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

I think we know the answer - 6 months ago
QuoteJamesHarrisFanClub What if Kurt Warner had signed with the Jets? Warner went to the Giants and looked average at best. He revived his career in AZ with a good OL and great WRs. If he had gone from the Giants to Jets it’s most likely he’d have gone on the QB scrap heap.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
To clarify… - 6 months ago
QuoteL.A.Rams ...Goff became a good QB after going from a sucky organization (the Rams) to a great organization (the Lions). What I’m asserting is that Goff went from a situation where his OL sucked, and his head coach was anxious to win a SB immediately and knew he couldn’t do it with Goff in the short term. Goff is clearly better now than he was in 2017 and 2018. He is a mature veteran QBby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Only 5 QBs have over 30 TDs this year - 6 months ago
These are the only QBs with over 30 TDS… Burrow Jackson Mayfield Goff Darnold Funny that 2 of them were Rams and both were first overall picks. It’s interesting to me that 3 of them were rejects. Essentially, giveaways that anyone could have gotten for a bag of chips. Is anymore evidence needed to prove that a QB is more a function of his environment than organizations, media, andby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Me neither… - 6 months ago
I have no idea how good Darnold is. But look at how many people here thought Goff wasn’t good. Clearly Goff is very good. He just needed time, more patient coaching, and a good OL. All of which he didn’t have here in 2019 and 2020. Why can’t Darnold be in a similar situation? He was a top draft pick for a reason. He’s got talent. As the saying goes, patience is a virtue.

Ha! Nice satire… - 6 months ago
QuoteShecky So if they clinch today, rest starters and lose next week, I'm assuming you won't be watching the Rams' playoff games using this logic. The whole premise is absurd. You earn the division based on the rules of the league. If we clinch this week, which I believe now will happen based on the game results so far, McVay has no business playing the starters a full 4 quarters. And hby max - RamsFootballFans.com
It’s over, not sure if it’s this week or next week - 6 months ago
QuoteShecky Not. Rams have a 99+% to win division even with losing next. Do some research. I think we may only need 2 of those 5 games. That’s because I think we win strength of schedule now. If that’s right, then 2 of 5 is about 80%. So good probability we clinch tomorrow.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
