Rams @ Falcons Live Game Thread

[GlendoraRam]

Now that the Rams cannot win the NFV West, I am curious how they play this evening.
Please post your game comments here.

Heading out around 5:00 to head to the game. They better play very well! This is a critical game for Stafford and his MVP candidacy. Game is not near as exciting as I thought it would be back in June when I purchased the tickets.

don't forget the ATL draft pick
have fun

They need to give Staff a huge game for his MVP push, and they need to dominate to restore some trust and credibility from my perspective. And oh yeah, the draft pick too!

I just dont trust this team as much as I did a month ago. Too many physical and mental lapses.

It's actually a low stress game for me. It's been a long time since I can say that. Mcvay hiring his buddies and not holding them accountable, has already cost the Rams the 1st seed. I would like to at least get the 5th seed, but it's not as big as a impact as getting a 1st seed or winning the division.

Imo Rams finish strong and win the next two, even if JG starts next week. I'm guessing Mcvay and Shula doesn't play tight tonight and let it all hang out, now that 1st seed is gone. I'm expecting more pressure packages and Stafford continuing to air it out, as long as the OL holds up

I don't get you guys and the resting starters, play JG gig?
The Rams will need to win next week too to finish 5th ahead of the SF/Hags loser so they can play the NFC South Champion and not @ the Eagles. They'll play their starters til the game is in hand is my guess!

I think we are an amazing team when behind the 8 ball.

Just from experience in the McVay era, Rams tend to get a bit gun shy when favored. But to your point, I am also interested to see how we react. Do we come to play or do we come to just make it through another road game... do we care to win? To me, it's always the most healthiest and on fire teams at the end of the season you need to worry about.... and right now, and how we handled the Seattle game, Rams are not that team. But you know who are those teams, yup... two other NFCW teams that want to win, and win it all.

Will be interesting to see indeed. How will our Rams respond? Will we fight and show some passion?

Goodness, I sure hope so..

I agree with you, but last year in a similar situation, Mcvay rest starters.

I don't remember us at risk of dropping a spot, do you?

Yes


Post last year ESPN

Though the Rams clinched the division in Week 17, they are still playing for playoff seeding. Los Angeles would finish with the No. 3 seed with a win or a tie against Seattle or a loss by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A Rams loss and a Buccaneers victory would give the Rams the No. 4 seed.

Rams inactives for tonight’s game.
WR Davante Adams
OT Alaric Jackson
G Kevin Dotson
CB Josh Wallace
CB Darious Williams
RB Jarquez Hunter

I see. The difference is they were guaranteed a home playoff game last year but I'm still surprised. I must've missed that or bitched about it!

Been watching Mevis warm up. 45-48 seems to be his most comfortable distance. He missed one 55 yarder and two 60s. (Also made a few 55 yarders.) Both 60 yarders were middle but short. One hit the bottom crossbar. 56-57 seems to be his max range.

Thanks for the update bro... Keep em coming if you can... How about a pic of your sightline?

[Bulldawg]

Atlanta kicker made his 60 yarder and 58 with 4-5 yards to spare. (Not sure if you guys care for this info or not.)

[Bulldawg]

A good many Rams jerseys here. Will be able to tell more when it starts filling up.

[DelMar]

I can’t decide who’s worse.

Ryan Clark or Mina Kimes.

Rather listen to nails on a chalkboard instead of listening to these two woke jokes.

ATL 2 first round draft picks are DE's going to be interesting to see how the backups play

I really dislike RC...dude is a total clown

[GlendoraRam]

Falcons defense ranks 9th against the pass, and 25th against the run.
Should be able to pop off some good runs even with a few starters out along the offensive line.

[Utah Rams Fan]

The Rams will come out strong tonight and also take care of AZ next week. They will go on the win the Super Bowl and none of you will even care what seed they were.

[DelMar]

I wonder is Morris’s performance tonight will be the deciding factor on if he makes it to next season as Falcons coach…

hmmm

Was just going to say I think Williams and Corum could have a big night.

Can you ask your mom to save my sandwich for tomorrow? I got caught up tonight

[Claremontram]

Play to win; all hands on deck.

Let's go Rams!

[Bulldawg]

Kelly and the girls are here. I know Delmar was asking about her earlier.

[Bulldawg]

Seeing the QBs side by side, Stafford’s release is just different. Okay, see you guys in a bit.

[Rampager66]

Half an hour to Kickoff, time for the pre game fatty...

[Truth]

I would run the football and do not risk throwing behind a line missing this many guys. Falcons got a couple dudes in Leonard Floyd and their high priced DT that are free agents after next week. They may be playing to extend their careers and get one more payday tonight.

[NorCal RF]

Atlanta has a really good RB, TE, n WR to go along with a top tier pass rusher. This won’t be an easy game…………
