Oh yeah, those fans who fretted about lousy 2022 Ram OL talent and depth. :idea2:

Man, you are so full of shit.

You didn’t know, didn’t predict, didn’t even suggest that “it would get this bad, this fast.”

You expressed concern about the OL. Congratulations. So did most everyone else, to one degree or another. You’re not Nostradamus now that the OL, decimated by injuries, has collapsed.

You may be a Rams fan, but you’re a bigger fan of your gaslighting, ego-driven, self.

Now go celebrate the loss with your partner in back-patting bullshit, max.

I’m done with both of you. Life’s too short for conversations with dumbasses like you.

Ignore: engage.

Like I have said all along this year ramsman34 about our chances at Running It Back....

maybe we end up backing into the 2022 Playoffs the same way that the 9-7 Ray Malavasi 1979 squad did.....
....and then anything can happen, sportsfans!!! :idea2: :arrow2: 8-)

Like I said before Avenger....

I hire lawyers to assist our Company in unravelling the legalese in our system up here.
Lawyers are like mechanics....in that there are good ones and shitty ones.
I am used to their linguistic BS.
You are no different.
You project your labels onto your fellow RFU posters. So lame. So transparent. So juvenile.

What a waste of time you have been!
You say that you are done with me?
GOOD!!!! KEEP IT THAT WAY, ACE!!! :x

I won't have to waste precious minutes reading your condescending bullshit anymore!
To quote the late great Canadian songwriter, poet and National icon Leonard Cohen:
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

On the bright side, if everything goes our way, we could end up 13 - 4 with the lights shining, , bright.

But that concern about the O line was expressed prior to last season (passing on Humphrey), during last season (in the throes of a 3 game losing streak) and after the season (despite winning the SB we couldn't generate a consistent run game). Which is why I have used the blind squirrel/broken clock analogy. Of course in some circles it's verbotten to bring up posts from the past, despite being invited, even encouraged with "YOU CAN LOOK IT UP"! :shock2:

Truth is those squirrels have been saying it for 2 years, since the Rams passed on Creed. But NOBODY predicted the OL injuries that occured from day 1. And the injuries are 99% of the problem. They can say "they should have known it was likely Noteboom would be injured again" but based on what? His college numbers? The fact he missed 10 games in 2019? The fact he missed the last two postseason games in 2021? There was no reason to believe he'd blow out his achilles and to my best recollection, it was never mentioned in "the concern".

It's been said, they should have drafted Creed, signed a FA OG and used ARob's money to do so and then all their troubles would be fantasy. Except ARob's money would have gone to Woods coming off an ACL. :idea2: Whatever. To me, some guys were WRONG last year and they simply doubled down after swallowing crow. Now they want to revel in the "I told you so" crappola because the Rams lost 4 starters and a backup to injury. You can't make this stuff up......and you can look it up!!!!

Think about how many of the core players will be in their 30's next season. Donald, Wagner, Floyd, Kupp, Stafford, Allen Robinson, Higbee. Donald will be 32. Wagner 33. Ramsey will be close at 29. Henderson, Gaines, Rapp, Scott, Edwards and A'Shawn Robinson will be free agents. Along with Matt Gay.

Injuries start to happen more often when guys hit their 30's. I'm pretty sure we will lose a number of those free agents. And we have 6 picks next draft. No 1st, 4th or 5th. We're gonna be really thin at a number of positions.

I'd rather they do not give up the few they have. Whoever they pick next year will likely not be an impact year one. I might be sounding like the sky is falling. But I think we might be seeing a couple lean years coming. If it does come its really gonna test McVay's resolve. Will he stick it out? Or will he bail a sinking ship?

You're spot on. It's called looking ahead. We don't have the picks to acquire the amount of bodies it would take to be more competitive this year, even if you include future first round picks. It's not "sky is falling" to realize, they should even try to unload a few of those soon-to-be free agents for whatever they can get. But they won't because we're just 3-4 and we don't play SF anymore this year!!

Your point would be better taken without this type personal attack.
Please do engage ignore for the sake of harmony.

Man this month reminds me of last year's November. A few tough losses and a bye in between. I
t's not likely but it is possible we turn it around again. If we bring in some online help today, or even another pass rusher I'd be a bit more encouraged.
And as was said above, it good we got SF out of the way, at least we don't play them again. Very bad matchup.

Already did.

If the Gaslighting Duo's constant use of personal attacks (everyone's clear, after 736 mentions, that I'm a lawyer from Florida, right?) had been addressed in a timely manner, it would not have been necessary.
