Fuck yay

Wouldn't matter anyways

I think I'm the only Rams fan on this board

I don't think this will be like 2010 for me

there will be no points this game

Lol. Aren't the Rams the highest scoring team

In the league?

bnw was our st louis rams fan but st louis no longer has rams and ilx no longer has bnw

i love when the ball boinks around

I'm a former San Francisco 49 er fan

But f*** them plus they moved out of San Francisco

i desperately hate how the rams have a little piece of their gold uniform on their sleeves

the rams & 9rs r historic enemies

i am in favour of the gold sleeve detail, we are now enemies

thats so fd up man

Seeing that play, I guess Mariotta has a play for the career playoff reel.

Chef fans have to have some angst. They have had a decent number of winning clubs that have not done bupkus in the playoffs like over 20 years. It's a weight lesser than what towns like Cleveland carry, but the Chiefs could not get it done even with Joe Montana.

still sad about the 13-3 herm/trent green chiefs

also, mariota's best play of the game was the run block he threw on that game killing 3rd down conversion

there shd be a timeout flag just my opinion give the coaches more flags

ATL and LA look pretty evenly matched. ATL's D line was really pushing LA around early in the game.

rams made things happen at the end of the first half by changing up their approach on offense and for some reason they are back to getting murdered by the atlanta d line and running for -3y on 1st down

ugh that fucking 3rd down draw, assholes

rip los amgeles football

this drive is funny do they know they need two tds

Just dump it off and burn some clock good thinking

v weak. atl has been v good tbf but rams offense has been sad

damn wanted to see the famous onside kick

well, smart money now is on both falx and pats back in their respective conf champ games. super bowl revenge match v much live

they shd agree to a play for play reenactment of last year

give the fans what they want

Well that didn't work out

Rams got outcoached tonight

bobby spirals 0-2

but at least you got some bee ok

i'm v sad the rams didn't show up but thinking the chiefs would win a playoff game is on me

are we sure this isn't gronk

the Bills playoff game was everything we dreamed it would be pic.twitter.com/gSqATioOBI

xp also, oj is wearing a mccoy jersey, respect

bills fans doing it like they might not be back for 20 years

no chill

i gotta go to a bills home game next season just for the atmosphere

would be real sad if incognito can't return

remember that tyrod taylor/blake bortles playoff game?

well, no one is going in the HOF based on passer rating, that is certainly true. as i was saying upthread, football stats are pretty bad all round. i like the ways folks like football outsiders and PFF are building metrics that try to do things like measure passes irrespective of catches and taking account of on-field situations, but there are infinite variables and the holy grail of a stat that tidily and definitively describes qb performance is likely a fantasy. but take a bunch of different datapoints together and hopefully you see something consistent. as phil simms famously said, "data analysis in football is like a georges seurat painting"

yeah passer ratings for the legendary QBs of the 80s like Elway and Marino were pedestrian compared to today's QBs but that's because completion percentages are higher as so many offenses use screens and dump-offs whereas Elway/Marino flung the ball downfield most of the game.

Tannehill had passer ratings that were higher than Marino posted in many seasons and was hated by a large chunk of his fanbase....cos it really doesn't mean much anymore.

i vote for romo
