Nansen could be a sleeper. Who knows? I'm not feeling a Staley rehire but it could work out. I'm not feeling a Rivera hire but it might turn out great. I hope McVay is consulting all of his Rams brass on this decision daily and often. He probably thinks about his top 3 candidates 5 times a day and during his sleep. Sean knows he needs to nail this DC hiring but it's not as easyby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Robinson relegated Atwell to 4th WR after mid season. Sadly Robinson made Atwell look like a USFL player when he got in his groove. Damn it hurts because I wanted the little WR to explode last season for 1,100 yards and 10 TD's. Got kicked in the teeth hoping for that outcome.by Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Probably won't be in a Rams uniform for long. The 2024 season could be his last year as a Ram assuming he's not traded or cut for some crazy reason. I overrated Tutu and thought he would be a stud by his 2nd season. I guess I didn't learn my lesson about the Rams history of drafting smaller WR's since Tavon. I thought Tutu was going to have a break out season in 2023 but I was wronby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote21Dog The inside handoff to St. Brown. You have Montgomery and Gibbs running at will and you hand to a WR and it's not an end around or something that suits his skills? Also question throwing to your third or fourth best receiving option in Reynolds. Get the ball to LaPorta or St. Brown. I know 21Dog. Ughhh the agony of defeat and I'm not a fan of the Ravens or Lions. Those gamby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
There is a lot more to it than that the catch was dropped. Dan Campbell played scared and didn't trust his shaky defense by going for it on both of the 4th downs. (he wet the bed) Even if the catch was made, it didn't guarantee they would win the game. McVay would likely not have gone for those 4th downs. (not in his DNA) he's usually conservative in those nervous times of a game and pby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Dan Campbell: He went (Chargers) Brandon Staley crazy with both of those 4th down gambles: Cocky or Overconfident? Or maybe Campbell was worried and called those go for it on 4th down plays because he didn't trust his suspect defense to hold off the 49ers. He said he didn't have any regrets going for the 4th downs in his press conference. I call bull @#$%&. Of course that's what he's gby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJimYoungblood53 QuoteFlorida_Ram If he does his (old school) 2 lost fumbles and 2 Int's and folds under pressure it will be sad to watch. Not too fair a comment. That scenario you use, 2 INT and 2 lost fumbles happened just twice and one was with Lions. Byt, let's look at the opposite - games with 2 TD and 0 fumbles = 39, 20 with the Rams.

QuoteStafford9 I like your reference Stafford9. Yes, pay the man.. He's not super elite but he's top shelf and no longer a McVay system quarterback. Goff has taken 2 different teams to the NFC Championship. That's not a fluke... Pay the man or some other team will.by Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro But what does "belly up" or "choke" mean to the people using those words? There were 14 QB's in the playoffs when they started. Only 4 are left. Did the other 10 choke or go belly up? Why aren't they still in it? If the Lions Oline is dominated by 9ers pass rush then any QB would struggle with that. But if Goff has even average time to throw, I'm confidentby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteStafford9 For the right price, I would sell him on the Brady way, take less and we can surround you with talent. I am talking 35 mil a year is my max I have a gut feeling he's going to get 45 million or more per season.. NFL inflation is always 2 or 3 years ahead of the game.. He will be the Lions starting QB next season regardless of the outcome of this game.by Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteStafford9 If Goff chokes today in SF and you are the Lions do you resign him? If he does his (old school) 2 lost fumbles and 2 Int's and folds under pressure it will be sad to watch. I don't feel like this is going to be the case today. He might have a sub par game but I don't see Goff choking the game away today. If for some reason he crumbles, I still resign him but at a muchby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteStafford9 That hurts, this guy has not been given the credit he deserves, selecting a coach and building a winning team in Detroit.

Les Snead would've been my 2nd place vote.by Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay always thinks out of the box when it comes to hiring coaches. Will Dennard Wilson be hired as the Rams new DC. Who knows? I just appreciate how McVay thinks when it comes to hiring OC's and DC's and filling voids on his annual poached staff.by Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro And if I'm reading your post right, it sounds like you're saying Goff is still the same guy, just getting good protection and open 1st reads again. And that that's all he can do. I just don't believe a QB can survive in the NFL, let alone thrive as Goff has, if he can't go through progressions. DC's would exploit that quickly. And I have watched Goff a lot including film anby Florida_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan Goff was young and not trusting in his own abilities, still growing as a QB....Fact, Stafford walks right in and gets SB in his first season with the Rams.

QuoteStafford9 Without a doubt! I don't know why? Maybe because his defense pressured the Rams and gave the lowly Giants a chance to win in their 26-25 battle. Giants could've won that game. Don "Wink" Martindale is swirling in my mind and I won't be upset if McVay selects him as the new DC. I've heard he be a firecracker kind of like Buddy Ryan.

I'm starting to get a gut feeling: Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers & Rahim Morris to the Seahawks. Head coaching predictions are never a sure thing but these 2 possibilities seem realistic to me.

2023/2024 Season Review I'm guilty of projecting the Rams to win 7 games at the most for the 2023/2024 season. The Rams proved me wrong and won 10 games.
