I get your point and I'm not picking but my point is , yeah, there is scoring but scoring in itself doesn't make it a quality product. Its like watching watching an old NBA basketball game where the Suns beat the Hornets 134-128. There's scoring but you know its not the quality of the Jazz and Bulls that score 104 on any given night but look 100X better in every facet of it.

I can understand this.  That is one of the reasons I wanted to point out I am not actually watching the game so you could take it for what that's worth.  I saw some quick scores and was impressed this Thursday Night game wasn't another horrible game.

Meh...I play FF, I want pts. I couldn't care less who wins and frankly when I saw who was playing I kinda expected a 13-6 final

Not my favorite either but the Rams look better than any of the awful Navy Blue and Gold uniforms they wore. That whole scheme was so boring. 49ers always look good.

Greatest Show on Turf unis looked great. Those were the high water mark for Rams unis, IMO.

i see this yelllow and start craving hot dogs. 

I've never cared for this Niners Black uni. 80s or early 90s were Niners best looks

That's kind of the 'problem" in a nutshell. If you are only in it for the fantasy, then anything that ends 38-32 is great (assuming your guy got the points, of course). But for many of us, we grew up as football fans, first and foremost and it is difficult for us to manage our level of hypocrisy. We want to see good football but "good football" is based on excellent play from offense AND defense AND ST. Kind of hard to have our cake and eat it too.

For me, personally, though, its the bad officiating, the non stop commercials, all that.  I think i truly realized just how bad football was last year when the Cards and Hawks played that FG exchange game and it was 9-6 or something. That was an exciting game to watch IF you weren't reliant of fantasy football points.  It was tactical and calculated and had great defensive plays, etc.  To me, that game was better than most of these Pats 38, Steelrs 21 "games of the week".

 
Can't tell you how nice it is after the last countless, torturous, excruciating years  to see a Rams game where the offense actually looks like a competent NFL offense.

I'm really impressed how much progress Goff has made from year 1 to year 2. I don't think I've ever seen a high first round QB look more ill-equipped to be an NFL starter. OK, Jamarcus Russell. Still, he's looked great all summer, really great to see.

 
What was Ward supposed to do on that play?  Receiver caught ball and was a runner.  Had his head down.  Christ.  Guess let him score.

The McVay hire was very smart. I thought we'd have another year or two before the risk of losing him at such a young age became a real threat. I'm starting to wish we'd prioritized keeping our homegrown (through two different regimes and three promotions) X's and O's genius over sticking with Gruden. McVay also really impressed me in his brief stint on All or Nothing, and the behind the scenes videos I've seen of him doing his thing on the Rams. He's clearly not just an offensive mind...he's also extremely organized, a good delegator, and a leader of men. I'm very bitter that we let him go. Gruden is very likable but so meh, and we put so many years into grooming McVay. ####.

And I felt the same way about the NCAA hoops tourney.  I found I enjoyed it more once I quit filling out brackets and needing particular results.  So, are you willing to step away from fantasy in order to appreciate good football more than just a bunch of RNGs in pads?

So what's the biggest difference in Jared Goff?

Less stache on the sideline headset.

 
Half time booze check-in:

Currently enjoying the local LA brew, Angel City LAger from Angel City Brewery.

What're the rest of you sippin' on this fine Thursday eve?

 
Guess the Rams didn't want to let Tavon Austin risk another muffed punt.  Another poor clock management example.

And a quicker release, better OL, more weapons, and the look that the game has slowed down for him a little.

he's also facing the 49ers, so let's keep it in perspective. 

2 bad defenses he's faced he looks great. Tough trench of schedule coming up.

I actually quit fantasy 2 seasons ago and I enjoy it more without question. I don't have to watch the crap games and I don't live or die on every non-reported injury, etc, etc. 

Honestly, the thing I miss the most is the interaction with other people talking about something i know about. That's mainly why I keep up on the fantasy implications and still enjoy chatting here.
