but first... I think they played well.... But there were quite a few failures in wrapping up on first contact last night. The pursuit I thought was VERY good. Swarming to the ball.... that stood out to me as compared to recent years and I was loving it.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
But I gotta be honest here... last night I didn't really notice any truly bad or one sided calls. Not saying it didn't happen... I was way too engrossed in the game to notice. :laughing Also saw some posts here about Detroit being dirty, and going for knees.... I didn't notice that either. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
So I won't reply to this. :laughing Just need to say it once again - the current OT rule in the NFL is the most lame, stupid, asinine, brain-dead, unfair, rule in all of sports. It makes the PK rule in the Soccer World Cup look GENIUS. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know if a team exists that could stop them. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I had company over last night. I do not like having company over during Ram games. I am NOT a sociable person during Ram games. Well, I'm not very sociable at any time but during Ram games that especially holds true. However... There were some nice moments: Several of these guests were NOT Rams fans. They were, however, Kupp fans. In the 4th one of these guests declared Kupp the GOATby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
especially considering this injury pandemic. But there are things that seem awry to me. I'd have to rewatch the game to be sure, (and I doubt I'll do that... losses are hard for me to rewatch), but it sure "seems" to me that we have extremely few passes over the middle, slants over the middle are as rare as hen's teeth.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

certainly don't in this game. But that changes nothing.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
And if they keep this up he will not finish the season.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
But there is work to do. For the 1st game, against a contender.... I'm thinking this is looking very positive.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
On another note.... I'm with the board. There is no reason for Tutu to be on this roster.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
They are getting there QUICK.... nice... but too many yards allowed after contact.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
That's my youngest grandson. Just got a text from his coach... he's starting next game. Gotta admit, I'm shocked.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'm not at all put off with what I've seen so far. Obviously some goofs but this is the Lions and like you say we're one score down at the half. I think Detroit has its hands full.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
the penalties gave them a chance score.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum

Lions are good. I've no complaints so far.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
I was surprised with both team for the conservative play calling to this point.... Lions are done with it. With the Ram's respond? Yes, but not quickly.by JamesJM - Game Time Forum
and the announcers are in awe. AS THEY SHOULD BE..... so think about it... Fred Dryer two safeties IN ONE QUARTER! It could be the most invincible record in football. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Been to a few, damn few. I enjoyed the experience but even if a sports bar existed in my area I seriously doubt if I would have patronized it much.... at least not for Ram's games.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I do agree that this first game certainly doesn't define this season never-the-less.... I've always thought a good start can set the tone for any given season, especially mentally. Even with this longer 17 game season every game is crucial. I won't be relaxed for this game - neither will I throw my hands up in the air should the unspeakable occur. I WILL be angry if they come out sloppyby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
