So we will get to see at least 1 new ILB, a big dime look with 6 DBs, no Whittington and long shot for Puka - possibly more 12p with Allen but more Tyler J and possibly More X at WR. This is going to be a wild game.

Winning on a short week isn’t easy, but Sean McVay has had a ton of success in Thursday night games during his career with the Rams. Ahead of this week’s game against the 5-1 Vikings, that should give the Rams some hope despite being home underdogs.

Since 2017, McVay has led the Rams to a 6-2 record on Thursday Night Football. Their record gets even better when you focus specifically on short-week games, excluding their Week 1 matchup with the Bills in 2022 when the Rams lost 31-10 at home.

Cooper Kupp was a full participant for the second straight day and Joe Noteboom was upgraded from limited to full.

All I know is that if Kupp goes out for some reason and can't return or doesn't play it's time to play Jimmy G. Stafford is overly dependent upon Kupp. His play without Kupp is average, hardly the elite QB the Rams are paying. The Rams owe it to their players to play their best QB and without Kupp in the game Jimmy is probably the better QB.

I explained my feelings in another thread. I'm a hardcore Rams fan and there comes a time when for the benefit of the team changes must be made. They did it with White this season and Jaylen Ramsey before him. They weren't the only ones, but they can't treat Stafford any differently. What they could do is claim an injury (i.e. tendonitis) to save his trade value and reputation. The Rams need to start their playoff run on Thursday and Stafford over this season is barely been average. They can say he's good enough to play as a backup but as a starter it would only prolong the healing.

The Rams need this game so they need the elite version of Stafford. That only appears when Kupp plays. With Kupp and Stafford both the Rams have a chance to pull off a win. The Kupp-less version of Stafford isn't good enough. He's thrown more INTs than TDs this year. People booed Goff and blamed him but accept it from Matt? Sorry guys but I don't. People forget that through it all, Goff continued to win.

Re-watched the Lions @Vikings game last night.

The Lions should have won fairly easily if it wasnt for the fumble return for a TD.

The message that comes from that game. You can gash the aggressive Viking run defense with running game and take some shots down field with the pass. The Vikings will give us opportunities for big plays down the field, just need the o-line to give Staff a chance. Stafford is going to have to be on his toes tonight!
