The RAMS Forum

Watching Get Up on ESPN. All I hear is the Bears and the SF upset of the Eagles with some Josh Allen sprinkled in. Ignore the Rams and let them do it on the field.

Haha...I was thinking the exact same thing as I was watching. First of all, Nate Brandt is a Chicago homer so there is that perspective. About 1 1/2 hours into it they finally gave Stafford and Puka a little credit. (I recorded it and fast forward...couldn't keep watching all the BS.) I will give credit to Nate that he said Rams will put up a lot of points against the Bears. He wasn't sure how the Bears would stop us. "This is not the Green Bay offense that we will be playing on Sunday."

One, it's fine to be under the radar. Two, we didn't give them much to talk about. We did not honestly look like a Super Bowl contender on Saturday. Luckily, every week is a new story and we know we can go toe to toe with anyone.

People will zag on rams this week

If the Bears pressure Stafford on Sunday like they pressured Love, it is going to be a long day for Chicago. You can bet McVay is watching the weather report for Chicago for Sunday. The Bears are praying for a snow storm.

it is almost as if Stafford did not spend a decade in Detroit

I heard this from a Detroit analyst today..."Do you realize Stafford is going to be remembered as a Ram and not a Lion? The Lion's failed him."

That’s so crazy to think about. But very true

We played like shit Saturday. Why would they waste energy on a team who almost lost to a shitty team?

Haha...because 3 other teams almost lost as well, and actually scored less points? There are only 8 teams left, 2 havnt played and 2 had byes.

Damn Felix, you need to change your name to DownerCat instead of StonerCat. ;-)

we dropped a wide opens TD pass (-7 points)

we chose to not take an easy field goal (-3 points)

we gave Carolina momentum turning it over on downs and not taking the 3 for 20-7 lead and let them
score on a 3rd and long scramble untouched in the red zone

we basically allowed a blocked punt TD (7 points)

and still won on the road in the playoffs against a team with former coaches and players that we had already lost to.

Rams should have won more along the lines of 44-20 or 23

I'm a realist. I don't bury my face in fantasy bro. Worry about yourself, don't worry about me bro. I'm good.

And it's because we let it happen. Too many times in this regime we have games where we play like shit against shitty teams. That's a product of coaching. That's a product of the GM. We lack killer instinct and always have.

Can't tell nowadays. Y'all always make things personal with me for whatever reason. Especially when I disagree.

We as fans should be used to it. The Rams have always been second fiddle to the talking heads. That’s fine. I would rather fly under the radar anyway.

we got this against the Bears. Let the DL do their job and the offense will be fine. Bears lost a key player on defense with their LB Edwards getting hurt last week. This was a huge blow. Along with their LT being out as well Rams will win this game. I honestly do not think it will be close
