At the time this group simply was not playing well. McCreary—who came from the Titans—was not an easy projection on the depth chart because the Rams […]

The Los Angeles Rams have cut kicker Josh Karty. The breakup was all but official after Harrison Mevis (the “Thiccer Kicker”) took over duties for the last three games.

Happy Thanksgiving to you if you are a Rams fan. What are you making and/or eating today? While you’re at it, what do you think about the three games today? I see some former Rams there in Detroit with the Lions playing the Packers in the morning. Will Jared Goff help keep the Lions in […]

Say what you want about Joe Burrow, but he’s entertaining and he recently recounted growing up and watching Thanksgiving football and of course watching the Detroit Lions and their once upon a time quarterback, Matthew Stafford. Burrow made the funny recollection that he would basically eat food on Thanksgiving, and watch Stafford ball out, but […]

As a fan of quarterback prospects, I was ready to go to war for Bryce Young in the 2023 draft, especially in comparison to one of the other top-ranked guys that year, Anthony Richardson. Ironically, people argued that Young would get injured too often and Richardson would look lost in the NFL, but it turns […]

Throughout the Sean McVay and Les Snead era in Los Angeles, it has almost been a running joke on how much they have ignored the linebacker position. After paying linebacker Alec Ogletree in early 2017, the Rams cut him five months later. Over the next eight years, the Rams didn’t just not pay a linebacker, […]

The Los Angeles Rams are winners of six straight, and will try to make it lucky seven in a row against the Carolina Panthers. For now, L.A. has the NFC’s best record, but must fend off an upset attempt by the scrappy Panthers on Sunday, who are unexpectedly in the playoff mix with five games […]

Quandre Diggs was recently added by the Seattle Seahawks, and that may not seem like a big deal, but he’s a former teammate of Matthew Stafford, and he also has picked off Stafford at least twice (based on my research with Google and Seahawks.com).

At first glance you see the Carolina Panthers’ 6-6 record and think “they must be a young and improving team on an ascend”. A deeper dive reveals they are mostly a product of a weaker schedule and in part a beneficiary of the hapless NFC South: Week 1 at Jacksonville Jaguars: 10-26 (0-1) Week 2 […]

Whether you call it overrated, underrated, or fairly rated, Matthew Stafford is having one of the most unusual seasons by a quarterback in recent history. For example, Stafford’s last 18 touchdown passes have come while the Rams are either tied or have the lead. It’s been almost two months since Stafford threw a touchdown while […]
