Quotekw13 Then we should go deep. Alaric Jackson was out. I didn't watch, was Noteboom in there? Yes, Noteboom was out there and appeared to acquit himself just fine. I didn't see him go out with any injuries, so that likely means he'll show up on the injury report this week and be ruled out against the 9'ers.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I disagree. The game plan appeared to be sound to me. Its execution OTOH... Not gonna blame McVay for: poor Stafford throws; the once-a-game drop by Nacua; and, an inability to convert on XP's.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Grateful for (yet another) win, but I still have some questions and comments: 1) Ahhh...so "Bad Stafford" re-emerges in Week 16, eh? Hopefully it's just a guest appearance. 2) Can someone please explain to me (again) why we declined to re-sign Gay? Was that one of those "penny wise...dollar foolish" types of things? 3) Good to see McVay calling run plays inside theby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker Guys don't often fall off the cliff so I think something is up. But has Wilson's performance really "fallen off a cliff?" I mean...it wasn't like he killed it last year (or even the season before in Seattle). What I've seen is a steady degradation of his skills over the past few seasons. This degradation has seen him go from an elite QB to someone who's average to aby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsfan69 <snipped> Always tough this time of the year when you play a team that has nothing to lose. Ehhhh, I don't know...

The primary difference is the 49'ers had to contend with a mobile QB (playing at an MVP level) who could extend broken plays. The Raven defense OTOH knew exactly where Purdy was going to be on every drop-back and tee'd off. But it's more than that... Though they don't have an Aaron Donald on their DL, the Raven DL is nonetheless a superior unit (as a whole) to what the Rams have. And theby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Not saying that they've been completely ripped out of McStafford's playbook, but it sure has been nice to see the return of all the motion on offense the past few games. Have to assume that a lot of this has to do with: A) the emergence of Robinson as the 3rd WR; and, B ) Higbee's return to (relative) health?

Then there's a couple of things that I'd like to see them do now (and in the off-season): 1) Shut-down Stafford/AD/Kupp (and maybe Havs) NOW while all three appear to be reasonably healthy. All three have demonstrated that they have gas in the tank (for goodness sake, AD is still being triple-teamed) and there's no need for either of them to spend the off-season rehabbing an injury in pursuitby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Have you observed him enough to form any thoughts? He seems to have good size at 6-03 and might be able to add another 5-lbs of muscle. Kinda like his dad, he doesn't appear to possess blazing speed, but he often got behind the defense at USC. Also seems to be a "hands" catcher which I like.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsDynasty Refs didn't call fouls on Shaq as they could have because some have theorized that the refs are thinking, how else can these guys guard him.

I don't think I had the team winning 5 or 6 games this year. I didn't think much about the gutted defense and believed that they'd have trouble getting to the QB and stopping the rush.

I read this Athletic article this morning. IMO, Stafford belongs in the "It's Complicated" category which was defined as: Special circumstances make these situations less straightforward, creating a wide range of potential outcomes. Though he can still be productive, Stafford is no where near the QB that started [or ended) the 2021 season for the Rams. Instead, we're now mostly seby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
From the article: QuoteESPN asked college coaches and veteran scouts about the Michigan quarterback. While the coach called McCarthy a very good college quarterback, One veteran scout said, “I’d be scared to take him in the first round right now and turn a franchise over to him.

And I don't think it's close. Yes, we opened the game with a turnover and fell behind 13 - 0 after the 1st quarter. But that doesn't mean we weren't playing (or that we weren't playing well).
