Jared Goff:

Find a mic
Cry about McVay

But remember, this is why he gave up on you

I don’t know why I’m taking special pleasure in the Lions losing. No direct reason per se, but something about them being pre-ordained as the second coming, and the Campbell act getting a bit stale.

I'm there, too. I originally thought Campbell was a meathead, then kind of came around, and now think if he was more even keeled, his team might be. You're "breaking people's kneecaps" (or whatever the quote was) or crying in a post-game presser. Which is it? I also think there's a lot of hubris in the overall approach in DET. The go-for-it all the time and the trick plays have a lack of respect component in them.

I was hoping for a rematch with the lions, I feel bad for the lion fans, they have been waiting a long time just to get there.

I hate the Lions too, but that probably has a lot to do with losing to them in last year's WC plus i generally want the Rams to be right when they make a move like trading Goff for Stafford. Nothing against Goff, i just want the Rams to be right, to win games, trades, etc.

But i think Ben Johnson and the offense are great. Washington goes for it a ton on 4th down too and it's working out pretty good for them.

There's this idea (so it seems to me) that if you do things the conventional way and lose, well that's how it goes. But if you do things an unconventional way and lose, now you're a fool.

And when you do things the unconventional way and win, not a peep from anybody.

As JB Long posted yesterday: Tough night for the "take the points" crowd.

This is absolutely a thing, including .. if you do things the unconventional way and win, you often make a lot of enemies.

When their franchise learns to win for its own sake and not because they are media darlings or pursuing a narrative, they will have a chance at enjoying real success.

I don't know why it is - maybe this is just navel gazing - but the Rams seem to have been a magnet for this type of behavior. I suspect it's partly because the Rams have no national cheerleaders .. Saints/Haslett; Chiefs during their Missouri Jealous Little Brother Syndrome; Lions with the Goff/McVay "You're good enough for Detroit!" narrative today.

The Saints and Chiefs have learned what real success looks like. Maybe Detroit will get there ..

For example, here's Tony Softli (former Rams VP in St. Louis) after one of WA's failed 4th downs last week:

There's actually a Breaking News out there .. LAFD to hang Dan Campbell from helicopter and douse Palisades fire with his salty tears. Stay tuned for updates

Wish I could take credit for this one but cannot ..

Yeah, the "take the points" has turned out to be somewhat of a fallacy. But for me, if you blow a 17-point lead in the NFC championship game and then get 45 dropped on you at home, your bravado and brash approach rings hollow. And you are exactly right...win Dan Campbell and I will shut up.

[Elvis]

I like KC to take care of business, would give the points if i had to.
Will be rooting like hell for WA but unlikely they can pull out a win. Still i'd take the points here.

I'll take Bills at home though everyone seems to love Baltimore...

3-0, Rams landed on the number.

My WC picks went 4-2:

Probably take Houston and the points, won't be surprised at all if they win.
I would never give that many points but if you forced me: Baltimore
Take the points with Denver
Eagles, think there's a good chance they roll over GB but i'll be rooting for GB.
TB, home team by default but not much of an opinion on this one. If GB has somehow upset Phili when this kicks off, we'll all be rooting hard for WA.
Rams, pick 'em or give me points...

I only bring this up because, well 7-2...
