Rams fan confidence bounces back after London

The L.A. Rams suffered a loss to the 49ers in Week 5 and had an underwhelming showing against the Ravens in Week 6, so fan confidence dipped below 60% in the last two weeks. However, after beating the pants off of the Jaguars in London the fans are back: In this week’s SB Nation Reacts […]

Should Rams be buyers at the trade deadline?

With the Los Angeles Rams on their bye week, it’s likely that head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead have been doing some self-scouting. Whether that turns into a trade or the Rams remain confident in the pieces they have will be determined at the trade deadline. Still, if the Rams started trade […]

Reviewing the Rams offense at the break

After a start that could best be described as hot and cold, the Los Angeles Rams offense showed the Jacksonville Jaguars (and the rest of the NFL) that they were capable of an efficient four-quarter effort. The finishing stats weren’t gaudy, but the Rams, for the first time this season, controlled the flow of the […]

Random Ramsdom:Have you been watching the Sean McVay bye week tour?

Sean McVay isn’t 40 years old, and he’s perhaps the best coach the Los Angeles Rams have ever had, and while his team is 5-2, McVay has been doing a bit of a social media tour and if you’re a Rams fan, what’s not to love? Have you been watching any of the interviews? Are […]

Random Ramsdom: Is he now, without doubt, a Hall of Famer?

Matthew Stafford is having an outstanding year up to this point, and whereas I think he’d agree that he’s left some throws out there, he should also agree that he’s been a BIG reason the Los Angeles Rams have started 5-2 this season, so has Stafford finally cemented himself as a sure-fire Hall of Fame […]

Chris Shula’s top-5 defense could lead Rams DC to head coaching job

One of the big questions for the Los Angeles Rams heading into the 2025 season was how much their defense would improve from year one to year two under defensive coordinator Chris Shula.

Rams Winners or Losers: Bye week debate!

After every Rams game, a Winners and Losers column is posted by JB Scott and it tends to lead to a lot of debate in the comments section about who deserved to be a winner and who played or coached poorly enough to be on the losers list. Since there is no Rams game this […]

Rams Film Review: Offense leans into 13 personnel in win

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay proved why he’s one of the better offensive minds in the NFL in the Week 7 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. McVay got deep in his bag, pulling out something that even he hadn’t attempted in his nine years as the Rams’ head coach and play-caller. Without wide […]

The Rams lost to Mac Jones less than three weeks ago and fan confidence dropped below 60% for the first time all year, but L.A. has now won their last two games by a combined score of 52-10. Is the next fan confidence poll guaranteed to be a season high point? That’s up to Rams […]

What happens when you pair Stafford with a great defense?

Matthew Stafford seems to be paired with the best defense of his 17-year NFL career. The Los Angeles Rams rank first in Defensive EPA (Estimated Points Added) through seven weeks and Chris Shula’s side of the ball is second in points allowed and 2nd in points per drive allowed. It is the first time the […]

JSN might’ve just stolen OPOY from Puka

During the first month of the season, Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua appeared to be a lock for Offensive Player of the Year. Following his ankle injury that has kept him out for most of L.A.’s last two games, the Seahawks’ Jaxon Smith-Njigba might be on his way to stealing OPOY honors from Nacua. […]

Since Kyren Williams’ shocking fumble against the San Francisco 49ers, he’s bounced back with some really solid performances against the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

‘Draft a top-10 QB’ hasn’t worked at all lately

Drake Maye is the only quarterback in the NFL this season who is top-10 in passer rating and was drafted by his current team in the top-20 picks. I’ll say that again for the people who obsess over drafting quarterbacks early every year: Out of the top-10 quarterbacks in passer rating, Maye is the only […]

Rams Rookie QB Watch: Ty Simpson might be the one

It seems as if every week the discussion for who is in the QB1 conversation changes. Last week, it was Fernando Mendoza following a strong performance against Oregon. Garrett Nussmeier, LaNorris Sellers, and others have been in the conversation throughout the season as well. That inconsistency at quarterback could work in favor of the Los […]

Random Ramsdom: Was it LA’s best game of the year?

Was what we saw on Sunday the Los Angeles Rams’ best game of the year? Can anyone say “no”, or name another game that was better? I don’t think so. Had the Rams beaten the Philadelphia Eagles then we’d have some competition, but they didn’t so I think their win over the Jags is their […]

How did Falcons loss to 49ers help the Rams draft order?

Most Rams fans were rooting for the Atlanta Falcons to beat the 49ers on Sunday night, but instead Mac Jones improved his record to 4-1 and San Francisco stayed in first place.
