Maybe you can explain exactly what it is you're doing here?

I can't say for sure, but I think there's a Jefferson Airplane reference in there somewhere.

I don’t know either.

One thing I do know is that Jefferson Airplane were very prescient.

I mean, c’mon, “ One pill makes you larger”?

Back in the sixties?

I think there are pivotal moments where you can point a finger at a particular game and say, "yeah, that right there is where the team moved into the upper echelon of NFL teams." True, the RAMS were already good, but to overcome that miserable start in NO and then deal with that crowd noise all game long showed some serious testicular fortitude. Should bode well going forward and tonight in a less than homey environment.

Not so fast there, Tommy-boy. Seems there is still another echelon that needs reaching.

My wife asks the same thing when we're having sex.

So THAT'S how he does it!

That's good stuff, Zen. Gotta give him his props, that man can coach a team.

Before any real ugly and unnecessary blame comes this way I just wanted to dip in and say I'm STILL super fucking proud of the Rams. ALL OF THEM. Coaches, players, staff alike. We just played the Superbowl!! 2 years out from being the leagues punchline and punching bag!! We sure as shit didn't play our greatest game, but it was one hell of a season, and I honestly think next year will be better. I 100% believe we hold the Lombardi next year too. Love ya Ramily. What a fun fucking ride!!

Concur. 1-3 in franchise history in the Super Bowl isn't stellar, but 4 appearances is pretty damn good. Stan/McVay/Snead seems like a combo destined for many more shots at the big prize...dare I say, maybe we can challenge the vaunted Pats franchise in Super Bowl success in years to come.

Really excited by the future.

BB designed a masterful defense. Kept changing the coverages and pressures and took Goff out of his comfort zone. I think he designed to stop TGII as well but when Gurley didn't show up he was able to take out Goff. Mastermind deserves his props.

This was a game we should have won. Our D confounded the aging Brady a lot. He is not the reason the Pats won. It's BB.

It will be interesting to see how that team fares when the dynamic duo is finally separated.

haha. Usually when someone is talking with themselves, they tend to agree with themselves.
But the 2nd and far more brilliant Tom is correct. We still got a long ways to go, , and then consistently work to stay there.
Of course hindsight is typically 20-20.

Read somewhere that Pats would call 2 defenses for each play then when clock went down to 15 seconds (McVay communication to Goff cut off) Pats would switch to the 2nd defensive call. Assuming I got that right, pressure on Goff to audible.

I think McVay/Goff can remedy this with some more experience for young Goff.

Super Bowl experience for the RAMS will steel them well going forward.

I tend to think the first Tom is a self-righteous moron.
