That game in Seattle on Dec 18th that was for the division championship is still bothersome! Puka had one of his best games of the season but if he doesn't mouth off on social media about the referees the day before on Dec 17th maybe the Rams don't get hosed by the referees and the NFL and win that game! And then the NFC Championship game would have been at SoFi and maybe we have a different outcby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
As much as I like Styles there is no way he will be available at Pick 13. All the mock drafts I have run have him going anywhere from the 5 - 10 range and the Rams don't have the draft capital to move up from Pick 13 so Lemon and Sadiq are more realistic choices that will be available.by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Does that now move Sadiq up into the Top 10 or Top 15 of the draft?by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Can't keep everybody. Lake and Kitchens will be the starters. Rams need to draft or sign a younger free agent safety to replace Curl unless Curl is willing to sign a team friendly deal but doubt that happens because he will demand top dollar and the Rams currently have other players on the D Line and O Line that will become free agents and need new contracts.by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rebuild the secondary. Need 2 new starting CB's and a stud sideline to sideline MLB or Safety that can help defend the passing game and the running game.by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I would like the Rams to get more stronger and more physical on the O Line so they can have a more dominate running game especially for short yardage plays on 3rd and 4th down and not have to rely on Stafford so much. Need to keep Stafford upright and healthy all season long and limit the hits he takes to extend his career for another 2 years at the minimum.by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
If the NFL is legit then why is this Billion Dollar league the only professional Sports league to not have Full Time Referee's yet games are always influenced by a referees bad call or key penalties that influence the outcome of games? Just makes you wonder sometimes why with all the technology, instant replay and rules changes the NFL still struggles with fans feeling games are influenced by offby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree 100%. If the Rams do not win a Super Bowl this year or next year or before Stafford retires then it will be known as one of the most catastrophic failures of this LA Rams organization ever! To have a MVP QB and to be so close two years in a row of going to the Super Bowl and winning it all and to only fail because your organization was more interested in saving draft picks and cap dollarsby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Boy this board has reached new lows when topics and concerns are about what Puka said in the news or a podcast? As Allen Iverson once said "we're talking about practice" and here you all are talking about what Puka said in the news? Not what Puka did in a game? "We're talking about what he said in the news"? I've said this before? Puka is a young athlete who speaks his mind! Wby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Saw an article that said KT Leveston started at Right Tackle for the Browns the last three games of the season and the Browns went 2-1. Not sure why the Rams gave up on him and kept Quesenberry and Humphries who was horrible and probably won't be back with the team in 2026. Just seems like the Rams missed again on a quality backup tackle that they drafted, developed and would have had as cheap baby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
It's funny because you guys want Puka to behave like an athlete and gentleman from the 1980's! Sorry guys but those days are over and it took my 17 year old nephew to educate me. Puka is 24 years old and is part of the new Generation Alpha/Beta and these kids grew up with a cell phone in their hands and social media since they were born. Puka grew up with Adin Ross who is a 25 year old America onby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess you can say there is the right way to build a roster a wrong way to build a roster and the Rams way to build a roster. And I'm ok with the Rams way under McVay! We may never sniff or win another Super Bowl but the LA Rams will always be competitive and fun to watch and in the playoffs every year which is why Kevin Demoff hired this Boy Wonder coach 10 years ago and McVay has already delivby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Listen I still wouldn't replace Snead or McVay because what they have built in the last 10 years is a winning LA Rams team that has been to the playoffs almost every year and has lost and won one Super Bowl. But I'm also a realist and have to accept the following. They are essentially blasting the LA Rams organization and Snead and McVay on pod casts this week saying they could have brought in taby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree with everything you posted Avenger. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't think the LA Rams organization mentality is f them picks and to go all in to win a Super Bowl. They used that formula once and are not doing it again. I think they're more interested in competitive longevity for the team and are building the roster accordingly to be competitive and exciting every year. And for those ofby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree our 2025 draft really did nothing to help the team this season and now that we look back yes it did cost us this season. But I have another question? Why did McVay and Snead trade that 1st round pick instead of taking the best player available? Were they really worried that Stafford was done and this would be his last year and it forced their hand to load up to draft a QB (Manning) in 202by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams could have made a big move at the trade deadline but only signed Mcreary who did what for our defense? Sauce Gardner was available? We also wanted the Rams to resign Jalen Ramsey at the beginning of the season but they chose not to. So it's not all Shula's fault! It was just the perfect storm and with some key injuries to Witherspoon and Lake the defense went downhill fast after Thanksgivingby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah what do you expect somebody to say when a microphone is put in front of your face after a game like that? Did you see McVays press conference after the game? He got a little Testy and pist off to when they asked him about Stafford's future! Devante is going to be a NFL hall of fame wide receiver. And he does have that me not we attitude but he's been that way his whole career but he gets itby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
What in the heck is wrong with Rams returning punts in the playoffs! I had flashbacks to when Pharoh Cooper fumbled those kickoff and punts in McVays 1st playoff game for the Rams against the Falcons at the LA coliseum. Pharoh was a pro bowler that season but picked the worst and only game of the season to have a case of the Yips! Xavier had the same problem in the NFC championship and it cost thby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't care what he said in the locker room after the game. Locker room talk is all personality based! I think Devante was playing with a bad hamstring. But he gutted it out the last 3 games! But did he change our red zone offense! We all complained about McVay and the Rams red zone offense the last few years and always having to settle for FG's. With Devante on board all that changed and Ramsby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams should have won that game! Two major mistakes at the end of the first half and to start the second half cost them the game I say! If they go in 13-10 at halftime and don't muff that punt and go down the field and score after the D got that three and out to start the second half it would have been 16-10 or 20-10 Rams and it is a totally different ball game 2nd half and Rams probably win 3by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Any way you can post Seattle PFF grades? I would just like to compare where the strengths and weaknesses were with their team last night and maybe it gives us different insight to why we lost?by SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes one thing I didn't enjoy was watching Landman fall to the ground every time he tried to make an open field tackle. He just doesn't have good technique and probably learned those bad tackling habits at a young age. And Speights just seemed like he was in quicksand when he tried to tackle in the open field! I thought after the Chicago game he finally had arrived but then the game last night heby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
As Bradley Cooper said in the movie Silver Linings! "The world will break your heart ten ways to Sunday, that's guaranteed. And I can't explain that - or the craziness inside myself and everybody else - but guess what? Sunday is my favorite day again". The pain hurts! That loss was devastating to every Ram fan yesterday but for me especially it's going to take awhile to get overby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Great post. I agree on all points. But will the Rams make the required moves and go all in to win a Super Bowl at SoFi in 2026? Because if you look at the 2025 draft the Rams drafted for the future and will they do the same in 2026? Will they draft a WR and QB in Round 1 and just sign a coupe of mid tier free agent CB's? Hard to say? But the Rams don't go all in for a Super Bowl in 2024 or 2025 eby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
I disagree Doc. You just can't panic now and use your 2 #1 draft choices on CB's. And let's be honest when was the last time the Rams drafted a CB in the first round? The last time that happened was when they drafted Tye Hill at CB in 2006! The Rams just don't use high draft capital on CB's. I expect them to draft a WR and maybe because of public fan backlash a CB with the second 1st round pick bby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAtlantic Ram Mistake happen. But that was a tough place to play. I honestly thought the secondary play would be improved with the “let them play” officials. But didn’t really turn out that way. Defense overall took a huge step back during the season. I would say things can be fixed but a lot of work to do. I love Adams red zone production but I’m not sure he is the answer. T Macmby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah forget Cancun! Rams personnel office needs to get busy finding a new quality special teams coach and personnel evaluator to go with it. They also may need a new defensive coordinator and defensive coaching staff if Shula leaves. Shula was great during the regular mid season but wasn't a difference maker in the playoffs once teams adjusted to his scheme. His failure to use the Blitz against Dby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
You can also add the 2025 draft to that list because what player drafted in 2025 made an impact this season to help us in the playoffs? Ferguson was a 2nd round pick but he didn't make an impact. Josiah Stuart was a rotational DE 3rd round pick and didn't make any game changing plays in the playoffs. Our 4th round pick RB Jarquez Hunter didn't even play at RB in any games this season. Our 5th rouby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes I agree. The continuity was just never there between Adams and Ferguson. Remember Stafford with the bad back was hurt during training camp and that limited his throwing and Ferguson also got hurt during training camp and didn't even play until mid season. I think Adams stays as a #3 Red Zone WR on the team but the Rams are going to need another #2 WR and right now that guy just isn't on the rby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
Tough call either way. The only reason I would have kicked the FG is because of momentum. By stopping the Rams on 4th down it got the crowd and Seattle team fired up again and created momentum and Seattle knew if they got a couple of first downs the game was over and that is what happened. If you kick the FG and are down by 1 point you kickoff and try to pin Seattle back and if you do it may havby SoCalRamFan - RamsFootballFans.com
