I love the 1960s/1970s look, myself.

I think those were throwback uniforms. Their usual ones are with the white helmets.

I would like to see more of the old ones myself. 

same here...

I'm crazy about the all yellow unis...

[Blarg]

They look like some crappy high school uniform.

Offense was efficient (0 TO's) yesterday, while the defense made S.F. pay time and time again, with 6 sacks and 4 forced TO's.

Littleton is really impressing at LB.   Donald was crazy, even for him (4 sacks).  

On to home game with GB, after sweeping 3 road games; the Pack should be vulnerable as they are no doubt not used to mid 80s temps in late October.

Hopefully 8-0 going into showdown #1 in New Orleans in early November

[Angel Oracle]

Looks like Kupp may be out Sunday, and then back the following Sunday for N.O.

Knee is doing much better.

Beat the Pack!

[Brandon]

C'mon you fuckers. Not playing the spread, but have a lot of points on the Rams but they are playing like the Lambs!?!

 

 

(did I do it right @Angel Oracle?)

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

They're starting to roll now.

[Angel Oracle]

Bleep you Rams!

Rodgers is great, but not Superman!

This team isn’t sniffing a Super Bowl appearance with this defense!!!!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Special teams and offense can still take them to super bowl.

I agree.

Always works.

Need Talib back in the worst way.

Rams today acquired 2015 3rd overall pick, DE/edge rusher Dante Fowler, Jr., from the Jags for a 2019 3rd round pick and a 2020 5th round pick.

Fowler gives the Rams extra defensive depth up front, although 3rd round and 5th round picks seems kind of steep for a guy they likely won't be re-signing after 2018.    They could be eyeing him as a starting edge rush replacement for Matt Longacre, who has struggled some this season.

Fowler, Barron, Littleton, and Ebukam could be a nice LB corp, if Fowler can fit in well enough.    Longacre and John Franklin-Myers would then give them decent depth in the LB corp.

Sunday's game in N.O. could be one of those 43-40 type games, as neither team is doing very well with pass defense and being on turf.     It starts a crazy 3 weeks stretch with games @ N.O., home vs warming up Seattle, and a MNF game at Mexico City vs the Chiefs.

T-minus two days until showdown #1 vs Saints

[Slegnaac]

Have cleared my Sunday afternoon schedule for this one.

[Lou]

Go Rams!

and Go OVER! 

[Blarg]

This looks like that come back to earth games where the Rams are going to get their first loss and a lot of info on what they need to fix.

Their defense is just not covering the field well or putting pressure on Brees. 

35-14 is a big halftime deficit.

Michael Thomas pulled out the joe horn cell phone

I hardly ever bet NFL anymore. haven't for years. 

[Angel Oracle]

Who the ^}%% was defending Thomas?    The flop Peters????

Saints and Rams aren’t going to the Super Bowl!!!!

Both defenses suck!!!!

Talib ain’t gonna make that much difference when he returns!!!!

[Lou]

lol 

[Tank]

peters has been a bit of a disappointment this season.

the defense is giving up WAY too many points, especially in these last two games.

the cell phone stunt was idiotic and could have really hurt his team because of the penalty.

[Angel Oracle]

The tackling has been poor far too often.   How many big plays have come from broken tackles?

Defense wins championships.

The Rams are amongst the top teams.   But they won’t be a true Super Bowl caliber team until the defense gets its’ act together.

Holding the terrible Raiders, Cards, and Niners down doesn’t mean a thing, when the other six teams have run roughshod on the Rams defense!

[arch stanton]

Phillips' defense calls for press coverage and pressure on the QB. Brees had way too much time to allow that to work effectively. Get to the quarterback, save the season

[Angel Oracle]

O.C. Register article on the game specifically mentioned one guy on defense as especially being an issue.

Marcus "the flop" Peters
