Silly.


You must admit, the wording was funny. 8-)

I am still trying to see where Instagram works for me.

Thanks for all you do to make the Rams experience even better. <3

DirtyFacedKid wrote:What are your collective thoughts on Gurley slowing down that last run to get tackled? He could've downed himself at the 1 then we could've run some more time off the clock before punching it in for our 30+ point average. Am I seeing this wrong?

Edit: I understand that may be running up the score. I could just still be reeling at Rodgers trying to get the Pack crowd going against us in our house. :-)


#1, McV told Goff to tell the team not to score. So a lot of that was McV. Not to take anything away from Gurley, because he was a huge portion of that win. (Example: his sideline catch, the one that got reviewed, was as athletic a play as we could hope to see–I don;’t know how many Rams receivers, going back to ALL of them, could make that play, let alone running backs.)

#2, when you end the game you end the game. No mishaps, injuries, or other weirdnesses. The game is done, everyone goes home with the win, no more bodies banging, the element of chance is killed off. It is true that theoretically, Rodgers could have scored, added a 2 pointer, and then GB could have onside kicked. That's not real likely but it was probably one consideration. More likely, you just want to end the game so that absolutely no mishap of any kind, including as I said an injury, has any chance of happening at all. Have nail, have coffin, have hammer, nail er shut.

This all makes sense. I was being short-sighted. I wanted to get our 30+ on the Pack, despite our earlier poor performance.

Too funny! Re: McVays comment re Gurley and FF.

8-0! Baby!

Fantasy is fun, but this is the ONLY stat that matters. (And i have 14 FF teams).

Feels like we're getting to the point where people can stop saying "Yeah, but who have they beat?" and start asking "Wow, who haven't they beat?"

Oh yeah.

For as much as we keep knowing the next game matters though, next week the 8-0 Rams play a Saints team who has not lost since Week 1.

In their house.

Could be our most challenging game of the year. Including anything that may happen in the playoffs.
