I will be looking for some tertiary issues I believe will make the difference today. 1. How will the officials call the game? Blocking AD and Hutch is impossible one on one without holding. However they lean is fine as long as it's consistent. The refs will also have to set the tone as to defensive holding and interference and offensive picks because both teams are particularly susceptibleby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed...HOF! and to think they are doing it with a burned out coach who longs for the booth, a QB, DT, and WR whose best days are two years behind them at least, and a total lack of understanding how important first round picks really are. It's a miracle they won any games at all.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteMamaRAMa Why is this 7-year old article even posted unless it's to willfully and shamelessly stir the pot? I wasn't the OP but I think the answer is catharsis. There's a stark contrast between where the team was in that moment and what it is now. For some, yes, it's a release of vitriol. For me, I really appreciate how far this team has developed from that historic moment in Rams history wby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Maxx is like the love-child of Lyle Alzado and Uma Thurman (Kill Bill Version). He's my second favorite player to watch (after Puka). He collapses anything shallow on his half of the field. I could GAF what defense you run...sh#t, I'd invent the 2-6-3 defense with AD and Crosby on the line with 6 LB/S types w 2 corners and a deep safety. We would go undefeated as long as the offense can score tenby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Boy do I miss the pessimism...not! This article didn't age well. But that's normal when someone who only knows what he reads and then offers criticism before they have so much as a conversation about their writing with the person the subject in question.

QuoteOld Goat This kinda reminds me of another poster that has been constantly admonishing how expectations should be managed for the season. Duly noted. I expect them to win this game. If they don't, it will be no different than any other playoff loss. I'll be pretty disappointed. Just like many posters here are still upset about playoff losses to the Vikings back in the 70s, how the sby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
the Lions beat the Rams this weekend? Personally, I consider this year a win already but can't help thinking something magical is happening. I really want to see how far it can go. In reality, I would be greatly disappointed but still feel prouder of this team than most years I've loved this team as a fan. I realize most of us don't even want to consider the possibility.

The last two years of Staley's defense getting regularly exploited is proof enough he doesn't have answers...because he had the talent. Again, I love Henderson but what makes him a better coordinator than Pleasant? He may be great w DLine technique and effort, but can he coordinate the back end? I just don't know the answer to that question but feel I do know that about Aubreyby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Staley failed to find answers to how offenses would attack his system. Now, if he gets the chance to redirect his thinking to new innovations...perhaps. Personally, as much as he could add a valuable voice, Pleasant is the guy I have narrowly inching out Hendo for schematic reasons. As much as Hendo deserves a promotion, what he does so very well works best with that particular room. I want aby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
So the metrics say the Rams are a middling team. What it doesn't say is how the metrics for the Rams changed throughout the season.

The problem with Kupp earlier in the year had more to do with he and Matthew still tweaking the rules in the option routes as teams have learned some of the tendencies. Since then, yes, he's not seperating as well because his elite quickness has been diminished so his body isn't always responding as it was before and he has to adjust how he runs his routes. He's also regularly slamming his body iby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

When you first see Puka Nacua on national TV, there's a high probability the man is smiling. You keep watching and notice the next time you see him, he's smiling again. You don't even notice yourself smiling along. But you do notice the other people laughing around him. Finally, you get to watch an interview he knows is being recorded and broadcast worldwide and he's being asked uncomfortable queby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
There used to be a Rams team that had a great coach who had built a good culture but with a team that was struggling to win football games. The roster had a few Pro Bowl types that had just flown under the radar on a bad team. The coach looked inside and realized he couldn't get better results with the same solutions. So he decided to rebuild the entire offense in a new image. The idea was to takby Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteOld Goat QuoteCarolinaRam I thought after the Baltimore game he would settle down but he is so inconsistent from 40 out. McVay has got a tough decision. Would Crosby consider coming back after we cut him after a week? That's my biggest worry, that Mason tells us to go kick rocks. Crosby lost the weeklong kicking contest. He would blame nobody but himself because he's a true professional.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
Having played with Mahomes and Lamar his pro career meant he had to learn scramble drills and actually need them in games. This adds an element to the offense predicated on timing in those moments when Stafford can extend a play beyond its design. The best part is that Matthew also trusts him with the timing routes now.by Leoram - RamsFootballFans.com
The first great debate I remember here was Warner v Bulger. Later it was the great Bradford/Suh draft. Most recently, the Goff/Wentz debate ruled the board (I thought Wentz was a better fit for a Fisher offense).

I agree for only one reason. Losing this game would destroy all the hope and belief this team has recently built. Stumbling now would have lasting consequences. Sure, McVay will talk about resilience but the reality is...you play better when you honestly believe and it's exponentially harder to do so when you don't do your best when the best is required.

Sorry to come off as judgemental. I just think if the worst thing we have to deal with is the inability to afford a sporting event, well...I'd consider myself a lucky man.
