...The Rams sure haven't had any reason for the halftime hosts to compliment them. What would we have suggested?? So far, Allen and the Bills have been able to do whatever they've wanted. You and I and everyone here on this board probably could've covered better on the Kroft TDC than the Rams who were out there. Two quarters still to play... Go Rams!by Oakville Tim - Game Time Forum
Well, Ray Malavasi did coach the Rams into SB14, their first such appearance... How about him? And John Robinson was pretty good too, although I figured his Rams record, before I looked it up, was far better than 79-74. Let Mr. McVay earn a spot in the photo with some more good/great years? How about Mike Martz? He certainly was polarizing but he was 53-32 regular season and the Rams back theby Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
...regarding the presumed horns on the redesigned helmet. (sic) "I know a C when I see a C... they've gone away from our unique look for the last 75 years." Also, (sic) "Marvin Demoff was my agent and did a great job for me... his son is a good kid but he's not a football guy." This was a great, insightful, generation gap-type interview for an old fan such as me.by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
No doubt, The Alleged Ernie Adams will oversee those 25-30 Alleged Patriots, with OL guru Dante Scarnecchia, having "retired" once again, already there to set up camp! B)by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
That might well be, but of course there are 31 other team owners and their franchises who've been directly affected by one Patriots cheating event or another. Help me out here? ^Rams in SB36 ^Colts in Deflategate ^Jets in Spygate, 2007 ^Bengals -- the Bengals!! -- in 2019, who knew that Belichick would have to cheat in order to gain an edge on the Bengals???

...the ideal penalty would be (1) forfeiture of an entire year's draft,as others have suggested, plus (2) the suspension of Belichick for an entire year. But those things will never happen. What amazes me is that the other 31 owners have never banded together and demanded this kind of penalty from Goodell, who has now proven to be pretty good at knuckling-under, bowing down, and acceding toby Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
Sometimes, IMO, these well-intentioned bloggers and layout folks don't communicate with each other on headline versus article. This article obviously has full games mixed in with singular plays.

The Coliseum looked superb, what a great end zone! And -- sorry here, folks -- the white-and-blues looked timeless, classic, perfect! The blue on the Rams' horned helmets even matched the numbers and trim on the jersey and stripe on the pants! :sst 34-10 on this day was a great, great number.by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
...I'm also wondering: What all did Belichick learn from the Rams' Nov. 18 win at Foxborough? It might be heresy here to suggest that Spygate did little to help Belichick figure how to derail the Rams in SB36... but 60 minutes of game film had to be a heck of a sample size for him.

...Because he's done what he's done over a 20-year span in a salary cap era with practically no drop-off in contending for an NFL championship. Casey Stengel in baseball, Scotty Bowman in hockey, Red Auerbach in basketball... they ruled their respective teams back when talent could and was stockpiled without any sort of salary cap. They weren't necessarily de facto CEOs, but for one example,by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he's one of "the four constants" in the New England dynasty... Belichick and Brady, of course, plus Scarnecchia and the mysterious Ernie Adams. For 20 years now the Patriots' OL has largely kept Brady's uniform clean. "Largely," I say, because of course that's hard to quantify and Brady's skill set has almost always made his OL look good... He doesn't hold onto theby Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
...It'll be interesting to see what Hoodie has up either/both sleeve(s). As always he needs just that one or two "key plays won" in order to derail an opponent. Jackson is so big/strong/elusive that he might well produce 300 YFS the next time BAL plays NE...but will Belichick find that one or two flaws in Jackson that he can expose to win that game?by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
I swear, I can't shake the feeling that Belichick is going to convince Gronkowski to return to the team before long. I don't care that Gronkowski now swears by a banned (???) substance to heal his career-long injuries... or that he's now a FOX studio analyst. Belichick is going to tap into the Yankees/Andy Pettitte (retire every year, until September) playbook. It'd be the (newest) ultimate Beby Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
...No theatrics, no back-flips into the end zone on the "To the House" highlights... He hands the football to the nearest official. He just does his business like he's been there, done that before. Henderson's highlight reel is... um, very Patriot-like. He looks like a terrific DP by SneacVay!by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
Most games, Belichick just identifies the 2-3 tipping points and coaches his team to be ready to win those outright. I'm not going to do the math here, but in his six SB championships Belichick has outscored the opponent by, I'l bet, no more than a combined 30 points. Tonight's win was a "blowout" in comparison.by Oakville Tim - Game Time Forum
I think you're right. No reason to believe that all of a sudden the offense will find a rhythm to come back and score. Belichick and Brady are the game's greatest at squeezing the opponents' nuts and making them say "Uncle."by Oakville Tim - Game Time Forum
I'll go with Isiah Robertson and 1999-season edition of Grant Wistrom. Two relentless, attacking defenders who could and did turn games around with their athleticism. I'd hope their skill set would mask other weaknesses on the defense... make the others better, especially the secondary.by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com

An amazing career, the GOAT. I'm convinced after this. Manning had all those weapons all those years and could win only 2X, once for IND and once for DEN. Montana, a great, great QB, no doubt, but he had all those weapons all those years. Bradshaw won 4X, yes, but had all those weapons all those years and on both sides of the LOS. Elway could win only 2X. Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Favre, aby Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
...And anyway, Brady surely is the GOAT. He just is, and I don't know what other QB is truly close. I'm sure he looked at the clock and figured, "25 points down? 15 minutes on the clock? No problem."by Oakville Tim - RamsFootballFans.com
