Top 300 draft picks for 2026

Along with the Los Angeles Rams priming for a playoff run, the new year also brings about the start of the 2026 NFL Draft season. Over the next four months, prospects will be cussed and discussed and mock draft drafts will be everywhere. I have my opening board set and am ready to share it. […]

Terrance Ferguson is one of a kind

Los Angeles Rams rookie Terrance Ferguson is one of the most unique and promising players in all the NFL. On the surface this could easily come across as hyperbole for someone with only 11 catches for less than 250 yards. However, you can already see the breadcrumbs of how Ferguson can become a special player […]

Have Rams lost the confidence of fans?

The Los Angeles Rams were one quarter away from essentially putting the Seahawks away and locking up the NFC West. Five quarters and one overtime later, the Rams are one loss or one Seahawks win away from being the six-seed. The best the Rams can do is the five-seed. What a whirlwind 10 days its […]

Losing MVP might be best case for Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford had yet another three-turnover performance on Monday night, and it likely cost him the MVP. However, Stafford missing out on MVP honors might be the best-case scenario for him and the Los Angeles Rams in postseason play. Winning MVP has rarely translated to playoff success in the last decade. As evidenced by the […]

Why Rams can’t rest starters against Cardinals now

The Rams have to play their starters against the Cardinals in Week 18 and the reason has nothing to do with playoff seeds. It’s because Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, and the Rams can’t go into the playoffs having lost four of their last six games with handouts to teams like the Panthers, Falcons, and Cardinals. […]

10 takeaways from Rams failed comeback vs. Falcons

The Los Angeles Rams have had a rough two weeks. Within the last 11 days, the Rams lost the NFC’s No. 1 seed, the NFC West, and potentially a top-10 pick. Coming off of a disappointing loss in Week 16 to the Seattle Seahawks, there was a lot of anticipation on how the Rams would […]

PFF grades: Missed tackles galore (again)

The Los Angeles Rams fell to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football 24-27. LA looked disjointed from the job and was upset by a talented but inconsistent Atlanta team. While the loss is painful to fans—causing us to take a step back and reassess the Rams’ prospects into the playoffs—it does not impact the […]

Rams-Falcons: Plays that determined outcome

The Rams’ Monday Night Football matchup with the Falcons unraveled largely behind an uncharacteristically rough night from Matthew Stafford, as Los Angeles fell short under the bright lights. Stafford struggled to find a consistent rhythm, misfiring on throws he normally makes and failing to ignite an offense that never fully got on track. While the […]

L.A. Rams News: How should we feel about this team?

Are the Los Angeles Rams good this year? Are they bad? Are the average? Are they choke artists, or do they not have enough talent? Is it on coaching, is it the players? For a team with a 11 wins on the season, there are a lot of questions about the Rams, and those questions […]

Winners & Losers: Matthew’s Monday meltdown

Winning the NFC West was out of reach for the Los Angeles Rams coming into Monday Night Football on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. They looked like a team that did not have much to play for. The Rams were upset 24-27 by Atlanta. It was a shocking result that currently puts LA in […]

Rams-Cardinals opening odds Week 18

The Los Angeles Rams are 7.5-point favorites against the reeling Arizona Cardinals in Week 18, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Arizona is far and away the worst team in the NFC West and is currently on an eight-game losing streak. The Rams are coming off back-to-back losses to the Seahawks and Falcons. L.A. fell behind 24-3 […]

Rams-Falcons final score: L.A. shows up too little too late

The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Atalanta Falcons by a final score of 27-24 in Week 17 of the NFL season. This entire season has been wild with big leads, comebacks and all-around chaos, so when the Rams fell 21-0, and then found themselves suddenly trailing 24-17 to start the fourth quarter, you couldn’t […]

Rams-Falcons second-half discussion: What is happening to L.A.?

The Los Angeles Rams trail the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 21-0 after the first half of play. The Rams were punched in the mouth by the Falcons and fell behind 14-0 before the first quarter came to an end. The Rams aren’t out of it technically, but Matthew Stafford has two interceptions on […]

Rams-Falcons discussion: Will L.A. get back on track?

The Los Angeles Rams (11-4) travel to take on the Atlanta Falcons (6-9) in Week 17 of the NFL season in what could be a “get right” game for L.A., or the exact opposite of that. Entering Week 16, the Rams had a chance to win the NFC West and the top spot in the […]

Should the Rams spend their draft capital on offense?

Armed with two picks in Round 1, the Los Angeles Rams enter the draft season with a strong position. At this writing, L.A. is 11-4 with two winnable games left on the schedule, they possess a Top 5 offense that is dynamic both passing and running. Adding to their play on the field, all 11 […]

McVay was too proud to tie. It could’ve cost Rams the 1-seed.

One of the least popular opinions that I’ve shared on Turf Show Times was that the Los Angeles Rams might regret not going for a tie against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. My argument was simple: If it was Week 18 instead and you knew that a tie would win you the NFC […]

Beating Falcons doesn’t matter if Rams lose to Cardinals

If the Los Angeles Rams beat the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, it will keep L.A. in the 5-seed and potentially push up Atlanta’s 2026 first round draft pick slightly. However, the Rams could still beat the Falcons and slip to the 6-seed if Sean McVay then decides to sit his starters against the Arizona […]

Did Rams losing NFC West also lose Matthew Stafford MVP?

Outside of the NFC West title race and the battle for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been in the MVP conversation throughout the season. For much of the year, Stafford has led that discussion, but New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye hasn’t been far behind and has been […]

This Rams corner has a huge opportunity in front of him

The trade acquisition of Roger McCreary from the Tennessee Titans made a bigger splash at the trade deadline than it has on the field at any point this season so far for the Los Angeles Rams. The fourth-year corner played only a single defensive snap for his new team before landing on injured reserve. But […]

Is 2025 Rams season on path as ‘the one that got away’?

The Los Angeles Rams are currently on pace to tie the most wins in a single season during the Sean McVay era. If the Rams win out and beat the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals, they will finish the season 13-4. Despite that, it is very possible that they don’t play a single home game […]

How in the world can Rams cover Falcons’ pass catchers?

The Los Angeles Rams mostly have not been able to cover larger pass catchers all season. They’ll travel to face the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football where this problem will likely be ever apparent. Kyle Pitts has been on an absolute tear recently since Kirk Cousins took over the reins as signal caller. He’s […]

L.A. Rams News: Big NFC matchup on Monday night

The Los Angeles Rams will be taking on the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football, and every team still alive in the NFC will likely be watching. At this point, much of who will be making the NFC playoff picture is known, but the respective seeding is still to be determined. It’s been as wild […]

Rams eliminated from NFC West contention

With the San Francisco 49ers beating the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football, the Los Angeles Rams have officially been eliminated from contention for winning the NFC West division. The Rams will either be the 5-seed or the 6-seed, and historically those kind of differences have meant little or nothing to head coach Sean McVay. […]
