Great start for sure to the season

Outscored Seahawks 23-0 and outgained them 258-12 in the 2nd half.
On the road in hostile environment 

Puka Nacua is a keeper, 10 catches/119 yards in NFL debut.

Tutu Atwell also had 119 receiving yards.

The old Stafford is back.

All of that without Coop and with Akers struggling!

Rookie LB Byron Young is going to be a force rushing the passer.

After the 3-6 start, 3 straight wins and currently tied with Seattle, GB, and Minn for the last 2 NFC playoff spots at 6-6

Good offensive game this past Sunday against one of the best NFL defenses so far this season.

Good passing/rushing balance the past two weeks 

Tough one coming up tomorrow against the Ravens 

[Tank]

good offensive show today against washington.

the defense needs to step up and close off these games better. 

at 7-7 they're the last wild card team tonight. if they can beat NO this thursday night and the giants the following week, then their final game against SF may not be critical. i don't see any way they beat the niners this year. 

[Slegnaac]

The Saints are playing for a playoff spot as well.  I am hoping that the short week, plus travel will turn the game in the Rams favor.

[Angel Oracle]

4-1 the past 5 weeks, lone loss in OT against the top AFC team on the road

got a real nice Christmas present from two brothers i'm teaching (their dad is also the senior pastor at my church). they gave me a complete pin set of the rams super bowl championship year in '21, from opening game to the super bowl. it's one of those things you like but don't generally buy for yourself.

Another big game for Puka (9/164)

Only 5 catches and 78 yards from tying NFL rookie records 

(I don’t acknowledge Bill Gorman’s yardage record, came with AFL Oilers in AFL’s first season - 1960.)

DBs need to develop better endurance, burned back-to-back 4th quarters.

Beat the Giants in 9 days!

Great Game!

Robinson with some clutch receptions.

Williams is a beast at RB.  I was worried when they took him to the medical tent.  Glad he was okay to continue in the game.

I do not like the "prevent" defense.

Need to continue this @ NY on New Years Eve.

[Slegnaac]

Rams need to get a FG kicker STAT!!!!

[tdawg87]

We in the playoffs, boys.

[Blarg]

Anyone that watched that disaster of a game has to think the Rams are not supposed to be in the playoffs. 

[Tank]

the rams did everything possible to give that game away, but still somehow managed to win. go figure.

[Blarg]

The Giants wanted a better lottery pick. 

For a field goal kicker.

[Slegnaac]

Rams cut Kicker Lucas Havrisik.

I wonder if he knew before boarding the flight to LAX?

deserved.

i was looking forward to having them use mason crosby. didn't realize they'd already released him, but after watching him kick yesterday for the giants, i'm glad that never came to fruition.

rams are now officially in the playoffs. 

[Blarg]

Rams bench their best players and beat the 49'ers for the first time in 10 seasons. 

[Slegnaac]

To be fair, the 9'ers weren't playing their best team either. 

[Tank]

our B squad is better than their B squad! 

[Slegnaac]

Defence needs pull it together in the 2nd half.

[Slegnaac]

Would a

Could a

Should a

[Tank]

the defense played a lot better in the second half. in the first half, a decent college team would have walked right through them. 

they played much better in the second half, but it wasn't enough to make up for the first half.

[Angel Oracle]

Aaron Donald retires after 10 HOF seasons.

Good news is he announced it with FA period not far along, plus at least that adds $25 million to available cap space.

Congrats AD on a HOF career and a SB ring as an LA Ram!

[Blarg]

He was so much of the Rams defense. Whether he was getting to the quarterback, stopping the run or pulling two players from the O line to contain him while the other D linesmen penetrated the gaps. Donald's presence is going to be missed. 

[Angel Oracle]

Two possible FAs to sign to take that nose tackle spot:  Jadeveon Clowney and Chase Young?

Or are they more rush ends?

[Tank]

oh man. this guy was so much fun to watch. he'll leave huge shoes to fill.
