Isn't that the student loan finance company?

not sure, but if it is, then I hope Bernie wins in 2020 so that going to a game will be free.

that's how it works, right?

Annndddd…..Taylor Swift is the main act for Sofi Stadium grand opening this coming July.

Huge game incoming for Goff and his receivers?     Sunday evening temps in Cleveland will be in the 70s (no rain), and four DBs are already banged up for the Browns.

That was a pretty good football game on Sunday night vs. Cleveland.

Nice win for the Rams of course but Cleveland looked good also.

Rams do need to improve their first half performance, going forward.

Seven tough games are coming up this season (2 vs Niners, 2 vs Sea Chickens, @ Cowgirls, and at home vs the Bears and Ravens).

Secondary trying to arm tackle isn't working today

Yikes

I don't care what the Rams Spin Department says, there's something wrong with Gurley.

[Angel Oracle]

Give Malcolm Brown more carries.

WTF is Goff doing with so many INTs already?

Hey Rams defense, Winston and Godley aren’t that good!

[Blarg]

That was a shit show yesterday. The Rams defense is just not good. Their offensive line was passable but Goff needs to move his ass once in a while instead of just hopping up in down in the pocket waiting for a receiver to get clear. 

[fan_since79]

I wasn't following the preseason closely, but is it true that McVay didn't play his regulars at all? Not even a single series of downs?!

So they're just getting warmed up now?! 

He looked and sounded terrible in the post-game conference. Veins bulging in his neck, high-pitched voice, rambling and confusing responses, then he suddenly stormed off. The man needs to take a stress pill and calm down.

[Angel Oracle]

How do you go from allowing just 22 pts the past two weeks to N.O./Cleveland, to allowing 55 pts (48 actually) to an up and down TB offense?

[Homebrewer]

Nobody watching the NFL here?? Cant blame you guys...the game has been pussified beyond watchability.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Glad to see a good Thursday night game. Laughable delay of game on 3rd and 10 then a missed kick to end it. Rams shit the bed.  

[Homebrewer]

NO WAY that was roughing the passer. To me the NFL has become hard to watch. Poor officiating and poor play by the players. I keep trying but I've been losing interest for years.

[Homebrewer]

And furthermore..F*ck PETE CARROLL

[fan_since79]

Rams played much better and the offense was more balanced. Tough loss, but some good signs going forward.

[tdawg87]

Good game. The secondary still sucks.

[Angel Oracle]

If the Rams played against TB like they did vs Seattle, last Sunday would have been a for sure victory.   That's the game (TB) that may hurt long term, given the challenging schedule in 2019. 

Can't get on Zuerlein, for as many times as he's won games for the Rams.    Ball just didn't hook, just stayed straight to the right.

[Angel Oracle]

After 3 straight losses, today yields.

DB Marcus Peters was traded to the Ravens for LB Kenny Young and an undisclosed 2020 draft pick.   And yes Lou, Young....Bruin.

First round picks in 2020 and 2021 plus a 4th rounder in 2021 were traded to the Jaguars for DB Jalen Ramsey.   Ramsey has had issues this season in Jacksonville. 

They still need to address the issues with the OL and Goff.   Something seems out of whack there. 

 

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

That's a lot to give up for a guy who took a step back in 2018.  To be fair Jacksonville massively under performed expectations in 2018 after making the AFC title game in 2017 and some of that could have been the team mailing it in once they were out of it.  That said as talented as Ramsey is he's also a guy who runs his mouth and can be a distraction when things aren't going well.  With Talib on IR for at least 8 games the rams are going to need Ramsey to play at a high level because at 3-3 they're facing an uphill battle as it could take 10 wins to get a wildcard birth in the NFC which means they'd need to go 7-3.  I'm sure this is also a move looking beyond this year but trading their next two first rounders makes it that much harder to build through the draft.  

[Angel Oracle]

And they have a difficult schedule still to navigate, including games vs Seattle, Baltimore, and Chicago at home, and S.F. and Dallas on the road.    Not to mention a much improved Arizona team at home and on the road.

[Slegnaac]

Hopefully this will improve the secondary, which has looked lost recently.
