Myles Garrett’s injury is a big opportunity for Josaiah Stewart
The Los Angeles Rams placed star pass rusher Myles Garrett on injured reserve Sunday, ruling him out for at least the next four games. While, of course, this is mostly unfortunate news for the team, if we apply the “never waste a good crisis” logic we can find some silver linings. One of the developments […]
Giants get back Malik Nabers, 1 week before Rams game
The New York Giants are set to have number one receiver Malik Nabers when they face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Nabers, who was a Pro Bowl player in 2024 as a rookie, is active for the Giants on Sunday night, less than a year after a devastating knee injury. If Nabers makes […]
Aaron Donald is no longer just a luxury for the Rams’ defense
The Los Angeles Rams suddenly need Aaron Donald more than they could have imagined this offseason. It’s been a common refrain for fans around the league, pundits, analysts, that the Rams don’t even need Donald, one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history, because of how good the rest of the defensive line and […]
Myles Garrett knee injury lands Rams’ edge rusher on IR
Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic surgery on the knee injury that has recently limited him, so the Los Angeles Rams plan to place their star edge rusher on injured reserve. This means that Garrett will miss at least the next four games, and the earliest he could return is October 18 against the Cardinals. Garrett […]
The Rams have to get more from Davante Adams
Davante Adams is not the reason the Los Angeles Rams lost their season opener to the San Francisco 49ers. To boil it down to that would be insane. That being said, if the Rams want to hit their offensive peak this season, they will need more out of the former All-Pro. It’s completely fair to […]
Rams suggested as landing spot for reunion with former tackle
The Washington Commanders released tackle D.J. Humphries on Friday, opening the door for him to return to the Los Angeles Rams as insurance for A.J. Jackson if that’s something both parties are interested in. Humphries appeared in eight games with the Rams in 2025, including one start in place of Jackson. It is also possible […]
Jaylen Watson on wrong end of 2 TD passes in Rams debut
Rams cornerback Jaylen Watson was only blamed for one touchdown pass surrendered in his last two seasons with the Chiefs, but L.A.’s $51 million investment has already allowed twice that many in 2026. Although “blame” on touchdown passes can be difficult to ascertain, especially if it’s simply because Watson was the closest defender in the […]
Myles Garrett, Rams, may have a knee problem
Myles Garrett did not get off to the start that he wanted to in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, and though there were/are some positive signs, Garrett stating after the game that more or less he wasn’t himself due to injury, should be concerning. Even if only in the short-term. Garrett can put […]
Week 1 always lies. These parts of the Rams’ loss might not.
Week 1 of the NFL season is certain to bring unexpected outcomes. For instance, the Seattle Seahawks fell short to the San Francisco 49ers in Sam Darnold’s first game last year before going on to win the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots, who also made the final two, suffered a loss in the opening […]
College football game day thread
After a couple of weeks baking cupcakes, FBS football gets a little meat on the bone, matchup wise. The biggest play of the weekend is the battle between #1 Ohio State and #4 Texas, pitting two top QB/WR pairings. Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith for the Buckeyes versus Arch Manning and Cam Coleman for the […]
Rams snap count review: Are the linebackers pulling their weight?
After being out-coached, out-played, and yes, out-classed 27-7 by arch rivals, the San Francisco 49ers in their opening game, it is obvious that the Los Angles Rams have many holes to fill before they can begin to fulfill the high expectations that were bestowed upon them. TST pondered about three philosophies that could be holding […]
I wouldn’t want to be Jaxson Dart next week
Myles Garrett is still the best defensive player in football and that makes the New York Giants the unfortunate team that has to face him when he’s as pissed off and motivated as he’s ever been. With as many factors working in Garrett’s favor as were working against him in Week 1, that makes Giants […]
Rams fans react to 49ers loss: ‘Is Davante Adams washed?’
In the wake of the L.A. Rams’ 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, hot and lukewarm takes about the state of the franchise have been rolling in like California wildfires. The people at the center of those opinions are mostly the stars of the team like Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, Myles Garrett, and Davante […]
Rams’ travel plan was a bust, never to be repeated
The Los Angeles Rams’ travel plan for their game against the 49ers in Australia on Thursday proved a massive bust. LA’s plan was risky from the start and should never be repeated by a team traveling to the continent again. Both the Rams and 49ers had different strategies for going down under (hate how that […]
Sean McVay says ‘put the blame on me’ after Rams loss
In the NFL, when a team loses, the head coach often gets plenty of credit, whether that’s fair or not. In a loss, the head coach typically gets heaps of blame, whether that’s fair or not. In Sean McVay’s latest press conference after his team’s latest loss to the San Francisco 49ers he makes one […]
The Rams have invited a QB controversy
It was fair to expect regression from Matthew Stafford’s MVP season heights. It’s rare to see a quarterback play at such a high level into his late 30’s—and even more rare for them to accomplish such a feat for the first time a decade and a half into their career. No one saw a total […]
3 Sean McVay philosophies that could be holding the Rams back
The Los Angeles Rams opened the 2026 season with a rough 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and though that can feel deflating in the moment, just keep in mind that last year’s Super Bowl champions lost to the 49ers at home in Week 1. That being said, the Rams have now incurred at […]
49ers receiver pokes fun at Rams’ travel plans
The Los Angeles Rams were mauled on Thursday by the San Francisco 49ers and many are wondering if Sean McVay’s “drop in and get out” travel itinerary is the reason for their sluggishness. Even 49ers receiver Mike Evans, who said after the game: “You’ve got to give your body time to adjust, I mean obviously […]
Rams Reacts: Fans were very confident about team’s direction before loss
Ahead of the Los Angeles Rams’ 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, many fans expressed their confidence in the team’s direction. Following a 20-point loss to begin the season, it’s fair to wonder how those fans feel now, especially when the Rams were perceived as a heavy Super Bowl contender entering the […]
Four down territory: Rams takeaways after flat performance
The Los Angeles Rams time in Melbourne, Australia was short-lived and that might be for the best as LA suffered a 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night (Friday morning for others). Some might question the Rams decision to fly in the day before the game, although that did not seem to […]
Rams Winners & Losers: Is Matthew Stafford done for?
It was clear the Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford were out of sync from the game’s opening moments. They fell to the San Francisco 49ers 27-7 in an embarrassing opening week stunner. This game feels primed to be overanalyzed and ill-extrapolated. Week 1 brings surprises every year that never seem to age well. The […]
Rams-49ers Final Score: SF kicks the crap out of L.A. in Australia
The Los Angeles Rams lost to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 27-7 in the first ever NFL game held in Australia. The 49ers put an embarrassing beatdown on the Rams as SF moves to 1-0 and Los Angeles falls to last in the NFC West at 0-1. Brock Purdy threw three touchdowns, […]
Rams-49ers Thursday night game thread
The Los Angeles Rams “host” the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 of the NFL season in Melbourne, Australia, in the first ever NFL game to be featured Down Under. This game is on Netflix, so you may want to check out our how to watch guide! The Seattle Seahawks (1-0) won the first game […]
NFC West should remain the NFL’s best division in 2026
The Seattle Seahawks proved Wednesday night that they remain the class of the NFC West, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers not far behind. With the Rams, Seahawks and 49ers set to be among the conference’s best teams, the division should remain the NFL’s best in 2026. The NFC West featured three […]
Why the Rams should beat the Niners handily
The L.A. Rams should have no trouble beating their division rival San Francisco 49ers in their Week 1 game in Melbourne on Thursday night and the reason is simple: The Rams were the better team last season and they’re even better this season. When analyzing the first game of the year against a division rival, […]
