Neither Stafford or K Will are going anywhere for 2025. Judge the body of work. Not this game. Both were huge in getting where we did.

It was a great season AFTER the 1-4 start. It was a very good season. Frankly, 2 plays away from the NFCC is a damn good season. All things considered.

The Rams have crushed the last 2-3 drafts. They need some work in FA. I expect them to kill it in both areas this off season and load this team to be ready and able for a SB run.

Stafford is the last of his kind. Build the team around him with players who are versatile enough to thrive with a young, mobile QB if the future.

This front office and staff know what they are doing. This team will be a force in 2025. Grab a QB then and the ride will continue.

Great time to be. Rams fan, IMHO.

Yes on all accounts. Except there was really nothing wrong with Stafford or Williams in this game. Hopefully the overreaction will subside here in time.

You can’t have a false start there. Not at that point of the game.


False start was a non-factor after they gained 10 on 2nd and 12. It was the sack on the next play. And that was on Limmer not Dotson.

That was the one. You would hope the rookie would be more situationally aware. He makes that block, we win. I’m certain of it.

…Kyren will be released with Corum as the starter? I believe Rivers outperformed Corum and I’ve been big on him but Williams ain’t going anywhere

Williams is a good back but he has proven to be a fumbler and not just in crappy weather. Maybe this can be remedied and maybe not but if it can be he's a top 10 running back.

He was hardly the problem. The fumble was bad. He was trying to make a play. It happens. Happened to Brady many a time.

Brady won 7 Superbowls. It happened to Brady when it didn't cost them playoff games. All of that said...I lived in Michigan and played football in some lousy weather. The game changes with cold, wet balls. The NFL really needs to make playing conditions better in the winter by mandating covered stadiums in areas with freeze/snow potential.

Now we need to start planning for our next QB.


I think it's a matter of perspective.

From the perspective during last off season......solidified our interior O line; signed Parkinson, Curl , DWill; drafted Verse, Fiske, Corum; "if our defense is only half good, nobody is gonna stop our O we're gonna dominate, as long as we stay healthy"....not the season we expected.

From the perspective....."injuries have killed us; our O line is in disarray, Kupp and Puka out; we'll be lucky to be 3-2 going into the bye; Shula is in over his head"......a bit better than we thought.

From the perspective starting 1-4......"damn McVay did it again, we won the division; our D is better than expected; and with all we had to overcome....young D, injuries, etc".....great season.

From the perspective 1-4......"we're toast....I'm not gonna waste my time watching....oh look we're 1 game out of the division....what a game vs the Bills!!!...3-6 last year, 1-4 this year, playoffs both times....nobody wants to face us now"...........not a grwat season...."we shoulda won in Philly, shoulda gone to the CCG and the Superbowl. I never doubted them for a minute".....Great season? NOT!!! How can you say that Red?

Ain’t gonna happen. People like the circus. The NFL is first and foremost about entertainment.

Watching grown men slipping and sliding around in the snow is entertainment for the masses.

The media loves it cause it adds a fun factor to the game. It’s like a bunch of old ladies playing poker with tons of wild cards. Everyone gets 5 of a kind!
