To be clear, I believe you are recounting what you heard accurately. I just don't necessarily believe that the people speaking were reporting or speculating (or even just talking out of their posteriors).

Could be. But it sounded strongly like it was common knowledge among all of them.

I’m just sharing what I heard. All I know for sure is that the owners suite was amazing. The best game experience ever.

One funny thing was Shad Khan was right next to us and he was letting the expletives fly. Not sure who he was with. I think I posted that on Discord to.

hahaha

Thanks Hack.

I got serious sensory overload.

From Saturday night through the game I was barraged by people I never met before who were either Hollywood types or Rams org types. They all knew each other and it was one big power trip to watch. One of the nicest guys I met was Mark Ciardi, the producer for American underdog, the Kurt Warner movie. He’s a big NY Giants fan and we talked a lot about them since we’re both NYers, although I think he’s from NJ.

The stadium is unreal as we all know, but the owners suite was insane. Our suite was adjacent to Shad Kahn’s, so it was all Jags people around us. The suite had Unlimited food, from shrimp cocktail, to all kinds of cheeses and meats, sushi, prosciutto, ribs, tiaramisu, fine chocolates, all kinds of beer wine and champagne. And our own private luxury rest room. The staff in the suite were extremely attentive, constantly offering food and drinks, and cleaning up after everyone. Only way I got in was my daughters best friend from college is married to Hollywood agent and it’s his suite. Totally spoiled now, will be hard to go to a game again normally.

I was in the owners suite with guys close to the team. Stafford is getting heavy treatment especially for his elbow, but both shoulders and back are hurting as well. But the elbow reportedly is the major hurt. He’s playing through it.

That really explains some things.

Agreed. I wonder why all the cloak and dagger?

I don't see any "cloak and dagger." The NFL's injury reporting rule focuses on whether the player takes part in practices. Stafford, by all accounts, has been fully practicing. While he may have some physical issues, the Rams are under no obligation to report them if they are not impacting Stafford's ability to be on the field.

thats the point thought. he's been a turnover machine and clearly not himself (his first half of the season self) recently. are injuries contributing or the reason why?

I don't see that at all.

Against the Titans, he made one dumb throw and one bad throw for INTs. I suppose the second one could have been a physical thing, but that's just one play.

Against the 49ers, he had one INT that was because he and OBJ were not on the same page, and another because Tyler Higbee dropped a pass which fell into the hands of a defender.

Against the Packers, he had a strip sack from his blind side (nothing to do with any injury) and a bad pick-6.

Yesterday, he had no turnovers and 3 TD passes.

Where is the evidence of him becoming a "turnover machine" due to physical limitations?

I'm not saying he's 100%. I'm sure he's not. But I do think that his condition is being overstated.

[Ramsdude]

IMO, the bigger issue is his inaccurate throws. He throwing behind guys a lot and also tossing some high balls that could get our guys knocked out.

It's happening every game. Multiple times. Not sure if he is just streaky, doesn't know the O well enough or is injured. Maybe it's a combo of all of these?

He has been like this since game 1 so I think it's the offense and his lack of "timing" with the WR's. The nagging injuries aren't helping him either.
