Los Angeles Rams thread

[Angel Oracle]

Meant to also post this here from the NFL thread.

The Rams took care of the ball, just the one INT on the end zone deflection.   They quickly put the four fumbles against TB in the past.

Stafford completed three playoff games with just one INT and picked apart the Niners when it counted.

Kupp was Kupp, NFL’s Mr. Clutch.

OBJ did what they acquired him to do.  Hard to beat a team when two WRs go off on you for 100+ yards

Huge 30 yard reception with 15 yard penalty tacked on after it

Class act by OBJ going over to the Niners bench after the game to console Samuel, and has been a great Rams teammate the whole time so far.

Unsung hero certainly is TE Kendall Blanton, filling in for Higbee, and five huge catches.

Akers had some solid runs.

Speaking of which, huge props to the Rams run defense, only 50 yards allowed on the ground.  That prevented ball control by the Niners, and matched their physicality.

Niners DB Tartt is going to see that dropped sure thing INT in his sleep for a while.   Could have been just about a seal to the win if he catches it.

Props to the whole Rams team for total 4th quarter domination after trailing by 10.   First team to ever win NFC Champ Game when trailing by at least 10 going into the 4th quarter 

Can’t say enough about a team beating a team that beat LA, Dallas, and GB all on the road in successive weeks.

On to hosting Super Bowl LVI

Just so long as they don't underestimate the Bengals. They're for real.

i think this was the key to winning. the rams really shut down the run game, and the pass rush was strong enough to force garafalo into making mistakes, even though the rams didn't have any sacks yesterday.

deebo samuels is a beast, and facing him three times this season was a tall order. they kept him pretty quiet yesterday.

Speaking of which, that was one huge hit by Nick Scott on Samuel to break up a potential 1st down play.

Perfectly timed and perfectly legal hit, just glad Samuel was okay.

Scott has really stepped up in the playoffs.

Jimmy G almost got his best player murdered on that play.

That was brutal and initially got a flag but after review the hit was legit. Just bone crushing timed hit like you saw at least once a game nearly every game but not as often now because of targeting rules.

Not that I am against the rule, there a lot of ex-players with far fewer brain cells because of some brutal hits, but players are a little more careful about how they approach a tackle. So fewer big hits out there and more attempts to strip the ball instead of put the receiver or runner on the ground.

i hated to see it, but the rams got the benefit of snapping the ball at least twice after the 40 second clock hit zero. 

they better manage the clock better in the SB.

Rams sign Bears WR Allen Robinson, 3 years/$46 million.

Supposedly are trying to bring back OBJ, but where does he fit with already having Kupp, Woods, Robinson, and Jefferson?

[Blarg]

When he isn't on the IR?

[Tank]

whoa, 32 year old von miller just signed a 6 year/120 mil deal with buffalo. $51 mil is guaranteed.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Thoughts on the 4 year/$160 million ($135 million guaranteed) extension for Stafford?

Guess the Woods trade (for Titans 6th round pick) was to free up cap money?

[Blarg]

Sounds like a gross over pay. 

[Tank]

Sorry to see Woods go. Apparently he was called Bobby Trees by a lot of people.

[Lou]

That's what qb's get paid. There are 15 that are making at least $25M/yr.  Not sure what you guys expected. 

[Angel Oracle]

Let him make that money.   He proved me wrong after that three game slide and season ending loss to the Niners, with a great post-season.

First LA Rams Super Bowl title, he earned the new contract.
