You're right, it was cold that night but not brutal. I would say the 2016 game in Foxboro was colder. 2001 game was fun. Rams took a knee at Patriots 10-yard line to end it. I saw a drunk on the way out throw a rock at a policeman's horse and the cop was off the horse and had the guy on the ground in about 3.5 seconds...by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com

He's been steady and reliable, for sure. PFF has him among their top 10 graded centers. Likely in line for a decent raise next year...by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
... they talked about one of the issues in this game is there is real risk that Newton gets really embarrassed by the Rams defense.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Whether it's Newton running or him pitching the ball outside to their RBs the Rams have to be physical and disciplined out on the edges. I would also almost guarantee some sort of reverse, flea flicker, WR pass type play from New England in this game.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think Rapp could have a shot to play in the Jets game. But they also might hold him back and have him 100% for Seattle. With Whitworth I would think week 17 is possible but they might also only consider it if there are big playoff implications. Assuming they make it the first round of the playoffs would be Jan. 9-10.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
If the Rams can play disciplined and with energy and speed against the run they could make things really hard on Newton in this game. Would love to see the Rams get 5-6 sacks and 2-3 INTs this game.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
In 3 TNF starts he is 2-1 with a 127.5 QB rating: 77/110 (70.0%), 1,152 yards, 9 TD, 1 INT Wins @SF in 2017 and vs. MIN in 2018, the loss @SEA last October.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
That's fair at this point. He's done alright so far with his pass blocking obviously ahead of his run blocking. In fairness to the kid he still gets an 'incomplete' grade for 2020 (5 starts left) and I would imagine that with a full OTAs, camp and preseason as the primary LT he would develop further. We'll see if he gets that chance.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd like to see them move Goff around quite a bit this game. Like vs. San Francisco last December. Also, don't invite trouble with a lot of empty backfield sets. And last, run power between the tackles, not a lot of zone stuff on the edges. Oh, and some no huddle early. I think he thrives in that. And it's always good to tire a defensive line's legs early if you can.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
I really want this game for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is a 'winnable' home game needs to be won this time of year. And regardless of the Seattle game outcome in week 16 winning these next two at home could cement the Rams as at least the 5th seed. But, we shouldn't fall into a trap that this is some gimme game. Just like Miami wasn't. Or San Francisco. The Rams are a top-8 teamby LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
If the Rams (vs. NE) and Seahawks (vs. NYJ) both win this week the Rams could clinch a playoff berth with a win vs. NYJ and WFT beating Seattle at home. But, regardless, Rams need to beat Seattle to win the West.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com

Totally agree about the LBs... "Blindside edge needs to be Hollins and Oko. I love Ebukam's hustle but his contain is not good he just doesn't have the instincts for it." This Thursday I would anticipate a full dose of zero blitz like in Miami. Hopefully Rams have learned from then.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I would expect Robinson to play a good amount Thursday night.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com

Just a few thoughts since I live in the belly of the beast and watch them a lot and listen to Boston sports radio daily, etc. When they run the ball they can get rolling. So that's where it begins. Still a very good OL overall including the rookie OG Onwenu, a 6th round pick who may be one of the best rookie OL in the league. The young RB Harris is legit. I think they'll try and get out on thby LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com

It's all about that. Patriots' special teams are playing really well. Can't allow any big plays there or make any big mistakes. And simply don't turn the ball over.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
Good point. He has been this year.by LMU93 - Game Time Forum
I dont mind going for it at all there but dont run behind your worst run blocker at LT.by LMU93 - Game Time Forum
I agree. The whole country is on fire with this thing. It is not in pockets here and there like April and May. Las Vegas is hardly safe haven. I would think having the guys in their own HQ and in their own homes makes more sense than putting them on the road. That or pause the whole season two weeks and put everyone in a bubble. Not just a few teams.by LMU93 - RamsFootballFans.com
