Which is literally why you spike the ball. But yes I agree, panicked, terrible in game awareness to not realize you can pause and regroup.

Despite kind of following the Lions, by proximity, I've never noticed Stafford has such nasty teeth.

If I were a cards fan, those penalties would be crushing. There’s nothing as depressing as feeling like you’re witnessing a miracle and your team poops their pants. Big’ol turd.

Clutch game by Matthew, and the D stepped up BIG.
There are literally tens of thousands of new Rams fans in Michigan who are super pumped right now. Stafford is a great guy and few outside the D realized how good he was. Got the right coach, the right offense and a defense that’s good enough.
Keep going man!

Rams 30...Cards 23
Rams win outright, easy to take the points tonight
You've got to be kidding me. You just bumped your own post and celebrated for a game you made it clear you had NO money on?
You're the Cam Newton of the Shark Pool -- doing a Superman LAM dance, after a QB sneak TD with a minute left, down by 20.

Mission accomplished. Boosted to #1 seed in league 1 and he scored enough to win me the tiebreaker for the last playoff seed in league 2.

No, but he was instrumental in the win. Great power running and kept the defense on their heels. Was a little strange, actually, that McVay didn't call a few more runs on second and 5 and 6 after such strong runs on first down, epsecially on that series where they got the final FG, the Cards D was gassed, and they seemed unable to stop Michel. Calling two passing plays there probably cost them some points.

They need to protect Stafford a little better, he took a lot of hits (and a facemask the zebras didn't call) last night. Their back end sched favors them a bit for playoff seeding, SFO I think they can beat because Stafford with the Rams have already played against them, and they will be at home.

It's a loss in the division where the Rams scored the fewest points in a game. The go into a bye week, and lose against Green Bay. It didn't seem much of a catalyst to beating Jacksonville because JAX is a mess, and the motivation of beating AZ is because it was a much needed win because they lost to SFO and GB.
They need to hold wins at home in the back end against both SEA and SFO. SoFi is the host for the Super Bowl, they need to win those two games in SoFi just for seeding.

Remember when fat Matt was made of glass? Since the end of 2010, he’s never missed a game except for the year he broke his back (2019.)
Everyone always brings up the CLE game his rookie year to illustrate how tough he is (dislocated his non-throwing shoulder on last play of the game, went back out and threw the 2 pointer to win - dislocated it again.
He plays through injuries better than anyone I know. I remember at the end of 2020 and he listed his injuries for the year. There were like 8 or 9, broken digits, chipped vertebrae, strains, serious bruises. It was hilarious.
Probably the best in the league at delivering a strike 3 nanoseconds before he gets blasted. He had a lot of practice at that his first 12 years.

Yeah I used Stafford as an example in the Jimmy Faproppolo thread where he averaged over 4000 yards per season between 2011-2018 while playing throughout entire season consecutively while in Detroit. He's tough, but he ain't getting any younger, but give him a full 16 games, and you will get 4500 yards passing out of him.

He is not a black ink guy; doesn’t lead the league in a boatload of marque stats like say Rodgers or Brady. He’s a grey ink (Top Ten) compiler. But the elite stat he has is Yards/G for his career. It’s been dropping but he’s 3rd all=time and 2nd amongst actives. Because he was so young when he cane into the league, he’s always breaking Brees records for fastest to 10K, 20K, 30K, 40K. That’s for both youngest and fewest games. He’s gonna 50K Week 18, but not sure if he’s still tracking as fastest.
This year he is on a whole be new level..Bur st this point only legacy matters,
He and Ryan are going to be Top 6 in all the major categories in a few years. Don’t mean a thing, gotta get that ring. Or, ya know....win one payoff game. He’s gonna do it this year.

I dunno about rings so much, Marino never got one, Jim Kelley had four tries at one, Bart Starr got one posting lulzy numbers, Terry Bradshaw got four because he played for the Steelers, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won one, and Peyton Manning won one posting one of the worst regular seasons ever by a quarterback. There are many HOF players that don't have one like Larry Fitzgerald and Charles Barkley, and not having one should not diminish their careers. It didn't enhance Trent Dilfer's who got traded right after, but it did to Larry Brown's bank account, only because Al Davis was alive.

You’re right, it’s not the extreme. But zero division titles, zero playoff wins, always ranked around 8th-12th best at your position….does that sound like a gold jacket.
The LAR portion of his career will be the part that makes the biggest impression on how people view him.
As a quarterback.
As a human…don’t get me started. As a husband, as a dad, as a friend, as a community leader - dude crushes it.
The latter is why Michigan loves him so much, and why virtually all Lion fans want him to thrive

Lost a playoff spot because Kyler Murray took a sack at the end of the game I played an entire season scored 2039.65 pts and was up 4.7 pts for 2nd highest score in the NFFC online championship contest and only 2 teams make playoffs so I had to finish 2nd in scoring to get there and Murray takes a 5 yard sack making Prater's FG a 49 yarder instead of 44 yarder he amkes the FG and the other guy finishes with 2039.85 pts.

Barry Sanders has never won a championship in Detroit. One can say both Sanders and Stafford gave reason for people to watch the Lions. But I can't blame either for why they are the Lions lol.

Megatron, and for a shorter time, Billy Sims.
Most Michiganders are sensible enough to not care one way or another wrt the Lions. They’ve always had the Spartans or Wolverines for their football fix. Most.who are Lions fans are often either cynical (SOL or same ole Lions) and/or at some level, a bit self-loathing.
I sometimes find it difficult to relate. It’s not that I think the piss poor attitude isn’t warranted. The franchise is awful, one of the worst of any sport in North America. But it’s anathema for me to approach anything in that way.
I’m still (very) critical of the team when it’s warranted, which is often. But I’m basically an optimistic version of Charlie Brown. I not only fall for the same thing over and over, I genuinely, sincerely and passionately believe this time will be different. I’m not sure the exact term fir it but I am very much like Brooklyn Dodgers fans of the 1940s and 50s. Their perennial slogan was “wait until next year!”

I used to be a more fully throated fan of a team that won five Super Bowls when they played in the actual city they are named after. Since they have moved down south to San Jose (because they have a deal with a small city owns the stadium due to they moving there, and now is at odds with Jed York, who rigged city council seats that even still with a brand spanking new stadium that the York family only leases, could mean a wholesale move to St. Louis, nearer to Youngstown, Ohio, where Jed's parents live if things blow up in Santa Clara with the city council holding the bag of a flawed stadium), they have been to two Super Bowls, but lost each. I stopped being a fan since they moved out of San Francisco and even more when the Yorks took over the franchise. Not that corrupt Eddie DeBartolo Jr would had done any better, he would had moved the team earlier if he didn't get a bond from the city of San Francisco with the help of a few dead voters and wound up without the franchise because he got pinched lying to a grand jury over a riverboat deal with a corrupt Louisiana politician.
This is why I don't put my wholesale "faithfulness" into a sports franchise, especially one with the Ghost of Bill Walsh, who the Yorks actually ignored even when they employed him as GM.
The funny thing is, every NFL team in California has moved from the city they originated in lulz.
Chargers - moved from Los Angeles to San Diego then back to Los Angeles
Rams - moved from Cleveland to Los Angeles to St Louis than back to Los Angeles
Raiders - moved from Oakland to Los Angeles than back to Oakland and now in Las Vegas
San Francisco - moved from San Francisco to Santa Clara
At least you know the Lions ain't moving anywhere.

Stafford was great last night. Avoided picks but still took risks and made incredible throws. They can win it all with that type of performance.
