A lot of people celebrating, but I think we really have to hope Stafford screws this up.

They had WRs running wide open against us that Stafford simply missed.
Stafford has played three good teams since coming to the Rams.

In one, against the Bucs, he looked great.
In the other two, against the Cardinals and the Titans, he was average at best.

Which is the real Matthew Stafford?

The same one we’ve seen for the last decade

Loved OBJ in his prime but he has not been healthy in years so I suspect this is going to be interesting to watch. Will he do enough good to offset the potential bad in the lockerroom?

They are clearly following the Bucs blueprint last year. Antonio Brown was supposed to wreck the Bucs. Now it helps to have Brady leading the charge. However, last year it became clear that they had way more talent than the teams they were playing.

Again I saw Rodgers beat us with no wrs. Its all on Stafford to not screw this up imo. They've got the Oline and now can rival the Bucs as a WR core.

It might overwhelm Stafford. Hope so at least.

If you like fat girls and to freeze your butt off, sure.
I’ve actually spent quite a bit of time in and around Wisconsin... It’s a really really beautiful state. My ex wife is from there and her entire family. I loved it.

But granted that was all summer months no winter. I knew better lol.

PS: take your kids to the Dells for a summer vaca you won’t regret it.

I like the signing for the Rams. I was hoping the Cards would snap him up.

He’s not going there to be the #1 guy. He can be a great addition.

Btw, Browns and Giants teammates loved him. Don’t know why he’s a cancer for wanting the ball. He’s had no off field issues in Cleveland.

If the Cards could’ve thrown him out there with their WR room, that’d be sickly for opposing defenses. OBJ as a #4, cmon, that’s pretty good.

I was anti-LA until I moved here, and now I love it. The only place in the country that I could ski and three hours later be at the beach.

While I love what AJ Green has done this year Im not sure he's better than Odell to be honest. So I think he would have been a 3.

The way things are trending with Rondale maybe he's just a special teams guy this year. Team seems to trust Wesley a bit more on actual routes.

We seem to use Rondale exclusively for those lateral passes. Get him in space, load up with blockers in front. It has worked a few times but I'd love to see us mix it up a fraction more with him.

My ex is a now a fat girl and she is from Tennessee. She spent the last 20 years on the feed bag and blew up like a water buffalo. What the hell was I thinking when I married her?

But Brown wasn't missing games because he was hurt he was missing games because he was suspended. I loved OBJ but he has not been himself for years, he gets healthy, plays a few games but even in those games if you watch him you can see he's not 100%. Maybe they luck out and get 10-12 games of him and they can use him sparingly but therein lies the problem he doesn't want to be used sparingly.

I don't think he's going to destroy them but I don't think we're looking at this as the move that just makes them unbeatable.

If they don’t win it all this year they could be hosed for years to come.
I don't trust Stafford in big-game situations either. I wish the Rams nothing but poor luck. I didn't hate the Rams as much until they moved to LA.

This worries me. I don’t think it’s the Rams going after all these players. I think it’s all these players wanting to play for Sean Mcvay
