Probably already noted by others, but to me, the Peters trade brings me back to the mid 80s when the Rams were a young, upcoming team and they traded for Gary Green, also of the Chiefs, to bolster their young secondary. Made them a really strong defense, and one of the best secondaries in the league. In fact, I recall Danny White saying that, having played both the Rams and the Bears in the samby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

... still doesn't top 1999! That's not to denigrate the 2017 Rams, because what they've done is stunning. But as amazing as it's been, it still can't top 1999. In fact, I can't imagine anything, in any sport, ever topping the incredible turnaround from 1998 to 1999.

Can we also express appreciation for a player who doesn't act like a @#$%& every time he scores or makes a big play? Guy's been there before, many times in fact, and always acts like it. Another reason to appreciate what we have in Todd Gurley.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote9er8er"Fresh and focused" can also end up as rusty and distracted with a week off heading into the post season. Last season, for instance, it turned out to be a 50/50 proposition, But that's just teams that didn't get the playoff bye beating teams that did half the time last year. That's not teams who gave themselves an effective bye by playing a game in which they changed theby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K-Is the 3rd seed worth losing a key player like Goff, Gurley, Donald ??? That's not the only reason to rest them. In fact, it's not even the primary reason. The primary reason to rest them so they're fresh for the first game. Teams coming off of a first round bye are typically fresher, faster and more focused. Other players need the break to let their bodies heal. All of whichby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
