Bradley Cooper and nem aint coming to save the Rams. They are DONEZO. Hey man, they went for it last year...and it worked. Props to them. They are sitting at 3-7, butt naked last in the division and heading to Kansas City, this weekend. Matt Stafford is BACK in the concussion protocol, Cooper Kupp is effectively out for the season, Allen Robinson has THIRTY THREE receptions....WHAT???, they released Darryl Henderson. Just all bad. I'm sure McVay is thinking about parachuting into the booth on that Jon Gruden, ESPN steez.

On to the games, Gents...

Rams were super cocky about that shit after last year. Now they may be forced to trade all their star players just to get some draft capital and not sink into obscurity.

He's lost a step but not noticable enough for some team out there to overpay in picks to get him.

I wish they didn't give up that last drive (mostly cause of fantasy lol). Good time on their schedule to go on a run, nothing is given but a 5 win streak is very possible.

This is some terrible clock management by Detroit here.

Detroit had enough time and timeouts to score a TD and win this game but they are playing like all they need is a FG to win this game.

Oh but they do. If he’s the 3rd wr and even moderately healthy, they’re set all the way up. And he generally blocks well..most wrs from his school tend to do that too. So they could run when he’s out there even if it’s 3 wr sets.

And they can’t risk having him go somewhere that would be useful to any team they might have to play in January.

A lot of getting beat in the divisional round teams said the same. Green Bay for instance. Meanwhile, the Chiefs, Rams, and Bucs seem to add people whenever they can.

Aka more good players can be good..even if it’s short term. The cowboys know how quickly injuries can ruin a good meal. Their whole thing is that they’re usually talented but not deep. He gives them a shot at having one more casserole just in-case.

And he’s gonna come at a discount (probably). He helped the hell out the rams last year too. It’s easy to hate on the rams now for the short memory crowd. But they allegedly ‘had a bunch of good players’ before they traded for Von Miller and got OBJ off the street too. Now that they’ve lost a few of those people and replaced them with lesser people, they can’t move the ball or cause havoc on defense the same way. But I bet they’ll live with 2 Super Bowl appearances in the recent past vs some bullshit like what the Chargers, Packers, and Steelers have been doing the last decade.

The teams he couldn’t help were the washed Eli/horrid oline Giants and the ‘now everyone knows the truth about Bayka’ Browns.

I just hope he’s actually healthy. And I’m really wondering about that part of it. Him doing video stunts don’t phase me.

its a no brainer to add odell if possible
I wish/hope my Eagles had a chance, even just to keep him away from dallas or any other team

I like the nfl rebranding Thanksgiving football to John Madden.

>I like the nfl rebranding Thanksgiving football to John
>Madden.

It worked on me too. Good times. Madden acting a fool and excitedly being the color guy on these games was great. And he wasn’t in the hatin on folks for attention business either.

Plus, isn't that what we want GMs to do if a team is close, go all in and take a chance?

But it's been a perfect storm of bad circumstances. Not only has the offensive line been bad, they've had a number of injuries so they haven't had time to gel or gain experience. According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, they've had 10 different starting lineups on the offensive line. If the line was playing better, I think a lot of the issues on offense are able to be solved.

Then OBJ hasn't returned and while his contribution to the team was most felt in the playoffs. The Rams were looking forward to have him step in and be a great compliment to Cupp. I guess Robinson was a nice insurance policy. I don't know why he hasn't worked out at all. The indication during camp was that he was going to really work out.

In retrospect, maybe they should have spent the money on Robinson on a tackle. If OBJ hadn't gotten hurt, I think they do.

McVay's teams, when they work best, leverage the run. With the line playing poorly, Akers' inability to play well (when he's in the lineup) they can't run and use play action to have explosives and score enough points to lean on the defense.

Yes, they've lacked 1st round picks. Surprisingly, they usually end up with the normal 6 or 7 picks every draft because of compensatory picks. With that out of the way they've done remarkably well finding players lower in the draft to step in and play at a high level, relative to their draft status. But their lack of success the last couple of years really set the stage for this year.

Plus, they've had a significant brain drain over the last few seasons. Staley, O'Connell, and some other coaches have moved on from the staff that would be great to lean on this year. O'Connell especially was a sounding board for McVay. He's said that he misses his presence this year.

All in all, it would have been great to bring the bulk of last year's team back and make a run. Repeating is hard, and even if the team were playing well, it wouldn't have been likely they win again.

Like you said, Dstl, this offseason is going to be interesting. Does McVay decide to retire and spend time with his new family. Donald could retire. And speaking of picks, they don't have their 1st round pick.

The disappointment this year is worse because of the promise the season held. The NFC looked down and the Rams pulled in a lot of high profile free agents so they looked like the favorite. But now they're going to wander around for a bit in a new place - outside of contention.

our best receiver ..Bears could no longer stretch the field.

But Siemans showed that a passer can really do some damage with this OL
and offense…even Montgomery had some success on the ground. It was
a small sample size, but he wasn’t afraid to sling it.

Unfortunately, our defense is depleted due to injuries and we lost
Eddie Jackson today.

Mike White is out here doing things against this bad Bears defense. I hope people don’t use this to decide that White is amazing. It’s good that he can take what he’s getting so I might still have to eat it for calling him ‘terrible’. We’ll see! More even decent qbs is good for us watchers of football.

So bad. Not the 1st time either

Brady literally led a game winning touchdown drive with no timeouts in 37 seconds THREE WEEKS ago. You decided to run out the clock with 30 seconds and three timeouts left when all you need is a field goal to win?!?!?! Man, Bowles seems like a nice dude, but he is the most conservative dumb decision making coahc ive ever seen.

Linebackers filled the gaps all game long.

They could have a nice one two punch emerging with Perine and Mixon too. Bengals seem like a team getting stronger at the right time

sign Beckham. He is a a huge, huge distraction and the
cowboys don’t need that right now. They would be foolish
to risk the cohesion and chemistry they have with the team to
bring him.

The cowboys don’t have any problems on or off the field, or on social

Clearly that old coaching staff wasn’t helping him reach his potential. Getting Hill certainly helps but even without Hill Tua and the Dolphins offense would still be very good with Waddle.

That being said, I still question his ability to make it through a whole season due to his size and the way he takes hits.
