Welcome to Glendale, Arizona-home of the Arrowhead Town Center shopping mall! (seriously, that’s the third sentence in their wiki bio) Guh…
Fallout:
-They’re expected to fall to Detroit next week (as almost all have) but there’s more good news for Washington-the amount of cap space they’re expected to have this offseason? A mere 100 mil. The GM is Adam Peters and he has this team poised to be far above average for the foreseeable future-with the ability to sign free agents of high caliber he can even whiff in the draft and still be okay.
-Eagles starting linebacker Nakobe Dean is done for the playoffs with a torn patellar tendon. The dude knows how to fill out a stat sheet sheet what with 128 tackles, 3 sacks, 9 TFL, 6 QB hits and an INT. That’s tangible difference-making that is going to be hard to replace.
-Yeah, sure, Herbert had a bad game but the reason is that the Texans game plan from the defensive line was near-perfect. Herbert was pressured on 50% of his dropbacks and had less than 2.5 seconds to release the ball 11(!) times. Five of those times defenders were completely unblocked.
To The Game!
-Minny has the most wins ever for a non-#1 seed.
-Stafford averages 308 yards throwing in the playoffs, that’s #1 for all QB’s that have started a minimum of 5 games. Kurt Warner and Dan Fouts come in at second and third with 304.
-That said, the Rams are the lowest-scoring team (21.6) to make the postseason this year.
-With those scoring problems they’ve learned how to win ugly-their last three wins have come by scores of 12-6, 19-9 and 13-9. No one talks about their D.
-The last time they played the Vikes blitzed 12 times and didn’t record a single hit or pressure. How is that possible?
-The Rams have to get out of the gate much faster-they average only 6.8 points scored in the first half.
-I love the sports media’s take on Sam Darnold through the weeks. When he threw for 5 TD’s vs Atlanta it was all SAM THE MAN! When he threw for 0 TD’s vs Detroit (and no INT’s either) it was “Darnold Can’t Rise To The Occasion”. JFC…
DO YOUR BEST.
You should get that kind of call in your home stadium.
Look, I hate Bill Belichick, but that was fucking hilarious. “It’s an offensive league, what are you guys doing? Of course that was going to be called a pass”
He’s surprisingly personable on the Manningcast. And he was 100% right here
Bill is very easy to like on Peyton & Eli.
yeah actual person in there somewhere unlike Tombot
Me thinks that was grounding.
#17 was standing two feet away from where it landed.
So were 8 linemen from both teams, and Stafford may just as well have been throwing to them.
What is a pass or a catch? it’s fucken mystery
HRMMMMMMMMMMM
Weird-ass forward pass gambit is a success I guess
wow
You cannot allow that to be called a forward pass unless you follow that up by putting flags on the QB and not allowing him to be tackled.
Pure garbage.
Woooo!
I mean, he did try to throw it, but it wasn’t very convincing.
Fattfew finger
all that fried chicken grease on his hands
SUDDEN LONGBOAT CHANGE!
The script: “I SAY THEE NAY!”
NOT SO FAST!
So, I’ve thought about this. Not that it’s going to happen, but buying Greenland actually makes sense.
We already have at least one military base there and would likely build more.
The Arctic is going to become a major shipping traffic area.
Strategically, it makes sense to increase our presence in the Arctic.
Because it’s Trump, it’s dismissed as a dumb thing, but it actually makes sense.
Which is why Denmark will never go for it.
Maybe in president Vance’s first term. Kill me now
Well, sure, it would be nice to HAVE it, but it ain’t ours, and no one’s just gonna give it to us, so yes, it’s a dumb thing.
It would be nice to HAVE lots of strategic places with rare earth metals.
Greenland would want to have autonomy; Trump is already drawing a 51st star on the US Flag.
That’s just Rhode Island
I thought it was more the naked imperialism of it that we were laughing at.
I think he just wants to restore the golf course. It’s mostly flooded since the US closed the base at Kangerlussauq
Of course it would be great to have Greenland. But why would we think he wants it (or the panama canal) for any reason other than because it’s really fucking important strategically for Putin?
I thought he wanted Greenland because of the Mercator projection. I can’t wait till someone points out how big Siberia is and he offers to ignore the whole Ukraine thing in exchange for all of Russia east of Lake Baikal
Trump wants to do away with the US in NATO. He just wants Greenland because he saw it on a Mercator projection map.
He also wants to make Canada the 51st state, and thought a black light stuck up your ass cured covid.
I tried that black light cure every day for three months. Nothing. Well, something but let’s not get into that here.
The opposite of ‘bleached’, no doubt.
The other reason is for the chalk, but he has to get by this guy:
Every Trump comment here is dumber than him, which is some kind of feat.
Of course it makes sense, except for the part where one of our NATO allies already controls it.
Well, there goes the shutout

I said puntos not these.

Is Viking playoff clownfraudery one of the pillars of the modern NFL?
Sadly yes.
Usually deeper and more heartbreaky.
/pours one out for yeah right’s future viewing experience (so far)
Okay, who reminded Hey Darnold! that he was a Jet?
Fell down a rabbit hole concerning the use of Tiger tanks by the Germans in WW2. I must be a middle aged white dude in America
Shouldn’t you be all about the Roman empire? Or is this just in addition?
American Civil War or or GTFO.
I went through that period before. The biography of Gen. Lee was amazing read.
Eh, I knew how it ended.
I never got into the history of Rome. I guess that makes me AN OUTLIER

One of the finest movies ever made. Patton’s aids and close friends said that it was virtually a spot on representation of the man. Although Patton was said to have a high pitched, squeaky voice. Also, he was a major racist and pretty much half insane.
Anyone take the over on Higbee catches? Probably already a winner.
RAMMMMMMMIT by 50!
People who walk and talk loudly on their phones with their headphones on deserve a piece of rebar inserted into their brainstem
Accounts say Gage turned into an asshole after that, so maybe try the other side of the head
What are your thoughts on on people using speaker phone for calls on full volume?
I am going to guess that he would stick pencils in their nose and smash their head into a table.

I take notes and then sell the info to corporate espionage clients
I hear it every day walking into work, one time it got so obnoxious I started signing. And I sing poorly. Fucking assholes walk the earth.
The Rams are gonna end up scoring 42 points, aren’t they?
Oh hey cool another superhero movie (aggravates carpal tunnel from dismissively wanking)
I think MCU up to Endgame baked all the enthusiasm for superhero movies out of me.
Juan Cena does not have cena at McD’s
Gonna shut off the TV and assume this is the way it ends.
Why didn’t I think of that yesterday early??
Hey half the country lives in an alternate reality, maybe we join em.
This time next year we’ll be vacationing in GreeNland FOR FREE
That’s my plan for just before Trump takes the Oath of Office,
Yes definitely
I’m here hoping for either the Commendatore scene from Don Giovanni or the Phantom Thieves to send a calling card.
LA coming out shooting against looters
RAMMMMMMMMMING
I thought that you said rimming – B. Cole
When they played during the season it was during the Crippled Period for Rams wasn’t it?
I think it was first game back for Kupp and Puka.
MY NAME IS PUKA I LIVE IN THE SECOND ARY
Is that like a Plane arium?
Do you have a rare bone marrow disorder?
If you lived around me in the 80s and didn’t have a cool ass puka shell necklace to go with your tan, then you were nobody.
So we’re all watching Manningcast, right?

SAXOMOPHONNNNNNEEEE
Easily best anthem of the year
Rachel went a little nuts with the Bedazzler, eh?
Tipping my hand (but it will be more fun if folks have time to prepare a bit and jot down ideas), but one of the gimmicks to help fill out another season of request line is going to be “divisions”. As in, NFC West, AFC South, etc. We’ll do a division each week and the requested songs are supposed to have something to do with one of the teams therein. This topic was inspired by the following song, which of course represents one of the teams in the AFC North. Try to guess which one!

does it rhyme with Sleevehand Clowns?
EVERYTHING IS FINE EVERYTHING IS FINE EVERYTHING IS FINE
That’s great, Andrew Whitworth, but it would be helpful if you’d fix my roof instead of flapping your gums.
Cooper Kupp doing Ambrose Burnside cosplay was not on my Bingo Card!
Game’s going to end about as well for the Rams as Fredericksburg did for Burnside.
Well, this aged well.
No no no no no. That’s antimatter Burnside.
Chop game strong.
You know who really really needs to flush it, Joe and Troy?
Andy Reid. He absolutely destroyed that Golden Corral restroom. The Hague almost investigated it as a war crime.

This is what’s awesome about Hawaii. During the course of whatever (that arm thing everyone is always typing at me about something over there) — working with people from afar — we dumb-ass set off the alarm (to where the police get notified) 2x at the hale and so I finally get my letter from the county to be like, “Hi. 1. We waived your first one because we don’t even second-guess one alarm going off around here; everybody gets one strike, new guy. 2. Here’s your first billable alarm violation (and subsequent delinquent notices because you didn’t register so we did not know where to send this and it took forever to get to you to pay us now). 3. Here’s your fine for not registering. Now click here to pay.”
Separately now, I live in AZ. We have a stupid motorist law that, basically says, if we have to rescue you because you tried to drive through a running wash; you’re paying for the whole operation.
So now in Hawaii, instead of being like, “Fucking Haole Gon’ Haole Tax”, they call this thing the False Alarm Reduction Program. I mean — come the fuck on, man. How’d you people tame a volcano into submission generally?
Fees and Fines weren’t even enough either.
But the turtles are pretty!
teevee is muted, because I DESPISE mawkish sentiment, but is this rando piano lady singing the original, 1970s RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! song?
No, this is her fight song.
Thoughts and prayers are going to put out them fires just like they stop school shootings.

Hell yeah! This year gonna be 9th Anniversary of March of the Ram Man.
Amazing, I missed this the first time or perhaps lost those specific brain cells.
it’s almost time to…..
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!!
I honestly don’t know who I want to win this to help the Iggles NFC future Dok and I have going.
You DEFFO want a Rams win, now that the Commies have prevailed over the capitalist wreckers
Do I have to? Still haven’t gotten over SB56.
oh, absolutely not. This is only for the Iggles supporter perspective.
I have nothing against either team here, but I do kinda want DET/MIN 3.0 in a few weeks.
Thanks, Imaginary Pal. Skull? (checks internet) Oh, uh, Skol.
Also, Skoliosexual? That’s a new one.
Rhymes with polio? Is this a RFK thing?
Attracted to transgender persons. Not sure if that’s offensive or not. It is singling them out and saying they are different than the gender they identify with.
Don’t look at me like that. I’m making an effort at being a better person, dammit!
As opposed to being attracted to people in iron lungs and FDR lookalikes?
(checks Internet)
Paraphil-Devotism
Also, I’m clearing my history now. I don’t want this search to see the light of day.
Seems like a wise move

They both had never run in snow before and were trying to show off. Need to shorten your stride when running on snow.
Some stupid [British word] changed lanes into me on the way back from Sacramento on Friday. I thought she had just bumped the mirror off its spot (you know where you can just bump it back into place with no issues) but it turns out she bent the housing itself. Now I have to decide whether to report it to insurance or just replace the damned thing myself. And this year was off to such a great start, too!
CUNT!!!!!
Technology shut down.
See y’all on the other side after getting home and watching the game.
SKOL!
Skol to you, Rammit to Spam!
YR are you on the way to Spam’s gently used cuck chair? Now reupholstered!
One last Manningcast for the year, and last one with the grumblefucker as well.
Oh that’s right, he won’t be back next year.
thought hed already be gone recruiting and what not, guess the national game coverage is more effective and seems there a dead spot of 3 days in January one of which is today coaches arent allowed to recruit.
In the NFC West there’s a team from LA
In SoFi arena the Rams ran most of their plays
Blitzing and blocking then hitting the pool
And kicking some field goals when the weather’s real cool
When a couple of sparks who were up to no good
Started settin’ fire to their neighborhood
There were four little fires and the League got scared
Said you’re moving to Arizona cause there’s flames in Bel-Air
I could smell the smoke for the first time out here today
Excellent!
When you look at it on the map, I see no reason the Rams can’t host their own games.
It’s very calm right now but we’ll see what the evening holds. Winds are supposed to pick up soon.
Air quality would be a concern
[shrugs] – anybody who ever breathed the air in Los Angeles from 1980-1989.
diverting emergency services from standby and curfew probably hard to justify for game traffic and security unless had a fanless COVID game.
