Several years ago, someone found a U-matic video tape that contained parts of three Rams games from 1976. There was the 2nd half of the Dolphins game, all of the overtime game with the Vikings (finished in a 10-10 tie), and part of the Giants game. U-matic was an early form of video tape, and it retained its quality very nicely over all of those years.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
It's hard to keep up with the rookies, Terrell Lewis and Terrell Burgess, who both looked good last night. Is Lewis now healthy enough to be a contributor for the rest of the season? What were the injuries that held him back? Does it appear that he could help to solidify the defense? Any updates on the injury that knocked Burgess out of the game?by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In a game with the Jets in 1983, the Rams offensive line went after Mark Gastineau in what may have been their proudest moment. That incident came to mind after the Cowboys offensive line failed to go after the guy who knocked their QB out of the game with one of the dirtiest hits I have ever seen.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
If a team has a three-game losing streak in which they are dismantled 30-6 and 40-16 and then lose to a team that finishes 6-10, it must be a pretty crummy team, right? That team ended the streak with a 24-0 win in which they set a record by giving up only -7 yards, and then they went on to knock Roger Staubach out of the playoffs in the final game of his career and to make their first Super Bowlby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

After having some unexpected struggles in the middle of the 1970 season, the Rams battled back into playoff contention with a 30-13 win over the 49ers that was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. They just missed the playoffs due to a tough loss to the Lions in the next-to-last game and the Raiders (who had already clinched a playoff berth) laying down for the 49ers in the final game.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a tough year for the Washington team, but they did a nice job on the interim uniforms. The numbers on the helmet look good.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The TD by Kupp put the Rams up by 7. They kicked the extra point to go up by 8, which left it as a 1 score game. At the time, I was thinking it might make sense to go for 2. If they make it, they go up by 9 and the game is essentially over. Even if they don't make it, they are still up by 7 and have a high probability of winning. If the Rams have a good 2 point play up their sleeve, I think it woby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I find it an irritating distraction that the Rams often wait until the last instant to snap the ball. I realize that there are advantages to waiting in order to change the play and/or read the defense, but it seems that there could also be a downside. It must be taxing for players to remain frozen in their stances for such a long time. The defense can tee off on the blitz knowing exactly when theby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Bertelsen was one of my favorite players on the Rams in the early 1970s. A good RB and punt returner.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
This team is looking totally underwhelming today. They do not look like a playoff caliber team.by L.A.Rams - Game Time Forum
It was strange at the opening of the broadcast. I had the impression that they were showing a video game rather than the real Rams running onto the field. After the game, I need to go back and watch it again. Did anyone else get that impression?by L.A.Rams - Game Time Forum

The Rams have had several nice little "Golden Ages" since I started following them in the late 1960s. There was the entire 1967 season, which peaked with huge victories over the Packers and Colts to finish 11-1-2. Then there was 1969, when they started out 11-0, Roman Gabriel was the MVP, and the Fearsome Foursome was still in its prime. The 1973 season got off to a magical start with gby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

Something that really caught my attention in that graph is that each of the top ten QBs put more than 30 points on the scoreboard. That seems highly unusual. I wonder if it has ever happened before.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

The fact that guys like that are stupid became an undeniable fact to me when I was listening to Tony Kornheiser on the radio years ago, and it came to light that he didn't know which teams in the NFL were in which divisions. Someone who is supposedly a pundit should know such facts. Another favorite example, which is also a recurring example, is the NFL announcer who questions the use of a timby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams started out 11-0 that season, but they fell behind the Eagles 10-0 at the half in the 9th game. They came back in the 2nd half to win it 23-17 and go 9-0. Eddie Meador returned an interception for a TD to give the Rams the lead.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't care what the so-called experts say in that article. Percentages matter in the long run, but you can't always play the odds in key situations. If the Cowboys had kicked the FG to tie the game, that would have put pressure on the Rams and taken the pressure of playing from behind off the Cowboys. I think it would be more reasonable for the Rams to have gone for it on the 4th down, but I stby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

One of my scariest moments was watching my nephew go down after an awkward landing in basketball and instinctively grab his knee. At the ER, they thought it was a torn ACL, which is especially bad for a 16 year old who hasn't stopped growing (the surgery can apparently cause complications in the growth of that leg relative to the other). We all gave out a big sigh of relief when it turned out thaby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
While growing up with football in the 1960s, it became a part of me. Beginning in the early 1980s, however, I started questioning if it makes sense to follow a brutal sport that is played by spoiled, and in many cases ignorant, rich people. I started becoming more of an NBA fan, which was easy as a Lakers fan during that period. The arrival of Eric Dickerson drew me back into following the NFL. Hby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The day after winning the Super Bowl, the Bears showed up for a celebration in downtown Chicago. It was the day before the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and bitter cold. The high temperature for the day was 7 degrees. I can still remember Mayor Harold Washington talking at the celebration.
