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

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, […]

Bold predictions for Rams-49ers 2026 season opener
The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are set to make NFL history when they meet at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia for the first-ever regular-season NFL game played in the country.

Seahawks just put Rams, NFL on notice
The Seattle Seahawks may not have dominated the New England Patriots solely based on their winning score of 13-10, but if you watched the game, then you saw the Seahawks overcome an injury to their starting quarterback, you saw them overcome a 10-0 deficit, you saw their defense fight the entire game, you saw their […]
Rams save $3.4 million with Quentin Lake restructure
The Los Angeles Rams have created some much-needed salary-cap flexibility by restructuring the contract of defensive back Quentin Lake, freeing approximately $3.4 million in 2026 cap space. According to the terms of the restructure, the Rams converted $4.285 million of Lake’s salary into a signing bonus. The team then added two void years to the […]
Drake Maye’s debut reinforces why Matthew Stafford won MVP
Editor’s note: A previous version of this article contained a joke Twitter post that was presented as fact. We regret the error. Drake Maye could have won last season’s MVP trophy if he had received just one more first place vote, but the Patriots quarterback’s poor play on Wednesday night against the Seahawks only reinforced […]
Rams were lucky to miss out on Maxx Crosby, A.J. Brown trades
The Los Angeles Rams explored trades for both Maxx Crosby and A.J. Brown in the spring, according to Tom Pelissero. Those deals may have improved the team at the time, but by having the ammunition to trade for Myles Garrett in the summer, the Rams were able to get two-for-the-price-of-one when the move compelled Aaron […]
