1/16/2021

packers get on the board first

The Los Angeles Rams began Saturday's game going three-and-out, but the Green Bay Packers got on the board first. The Rams' defense held them to three points, as linebacker Troy Reeder broke up a touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to receiver Allen Lazard. ​

Davante Adams has the first td of the day

And it's a pretty one. Rodgers fired off a quick one to receiver Davante Adams, a play perfectly designed to keep Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey​ away from the ball. ​

This touchdown gives the Packers a 10-3 lead.

m-v-p

Rodgers has yet another one for the highlight reel, and an MVP play if I've ever seen one. This pump fake turned rushing touchdown put the Packers up yet another score, for a 16-3 lead.

packers up on rams at halftime

The Packers have dominated the first half so far and are up on Los Angeles 19-10 at the half. The Rams answered with a score of their own late in the second quarter but are gonna have to do more than that going forward. Green Bay gets the ball at the start of the second half.

turns out everyone is named 'aaron' in green bay is good

The Packers got the ball in the second half, and running back Aaron Jones made sure to make the most of it with a 60-yard run.

Jones ran it in for a touchdown a few plays later to give the Packers a 25-10 lead.

the Rams have some fight in them

The Rams were able to march down the field, completely obliterating Green Bay's defense in the process. The result? A Cam Akers touchdown, where he lined up in the wildcat formation. Los Angeles tried this two other times so far during this game, and this situation was the perfect time for it to work.

Direct snap to Cam Akers and he's IN with authority! #RamsHouse #NFLPlayoffs

​The Rams went for two after this and cut the Packers' lead to 25-18.

packers keep their foot on the gas

Rodgers-to-Lazard kept things rolling in the fourth quarter with this 58-yard touchdown, making it look easy once again.

This beauty put the Packers up 32-18 and put the icing on the cake.

packers move on, rams go home

The Packers are moving on to the NFC Championship game, defeating Los Angeles 32-18. The next round will feature 37-year old Rodgers, and either Tom Brady or Drew Brees​, and I don't think we need to talk about how old they are. It's been drilled into our heads all week.

Urban Meyer and the jags inch closer towards a deal

After about a week or so of constant rumors, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Urban Meyer are taking more steps towards making him the latest head coach of the team. The two parties met again on Wednesday, and it's looking like the rumors could morph into reality any minute now.

At this time, it’s Jacksonville as the one and only for Urban Meyer. Jaguars’ owner Shad Khan’s process has led him to Meyer, and Meyer is highly interested, and the two sides are interested in trying to finalize a deal this week. https://t.co/gDpE46pyuG

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 14, 2021

The 
Los Angeles Chargers were also rumored to have contacted Meyer, but they had no formal interview with him for the position. Adam Schefter says above that the Jags seem to be the only choice for Meyer.

Meyer would get the chance to transform the Jacksonville franchise and (maybe) utilize the actual talent on the roster (and incoming talent) correctly, something the team has been missing for a long while.

kevin stefanski back with browns

Cleveland Browns head coach ​Kevin Stefanski missed last week's playoff game after testing positive for COVID-19 but is now back with the team on Thursday.

Ten days after testing positive for COVID-19, #Browns coach Kevin Stefanski is back at the team's facility today as preparations continue for Sunday's playoff against the #Chiefs.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 14, 2021

I'm just as surprised as all of you that the Browns could pull off a win last week without their head coach, who is my pick for Coach of the Year. They're up against the 
Kansas City Chiefs this week, which is a whole different ballgame as far as playoff games go. 

The Browns also activated Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson off of the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Will they win? Check out my picks for this week on Patreon. 

Jared goff will start for rams on saturday

After not starting for the past two weeks, quarterback Jared Goff will start for the Los Angeles Rams in Saturday's divisional-round against the Green Bay Packers. Backup quarterback John Wolford is out with a neck injury that he suffered in last weekend's win. ​

John Wolford is OUT Saturday, per Sean McVay.

— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) January 14, 2021

​Goff had thumb surgery a few weeks ago and played most of last weekend's game, despite not starting. With a full week of practice and is listed as a full participant, it looks like he'll be more prepared this week. 
Blake Bortles​ will serve as the backup.

We all expected the Buffalo Bills to be the ones to come out swinging first, but the Indianapolis Colts​ were the first to get on the scoreboard with a field goal.

Josh Allen answers by doing josh allen things

A highlight for the ages: Bills quarterback Josh Allen looked like he was going to take off, then glanced at tight end Dawson Knox all alone in the end zone and tossed the ball in a play that you'll see circulated for a while.

Bills up at the half, thanks to Josh allen

The Colts have been pretty much dominating the game thus far, but Buffalo is the one with the upper hand after the first half. Allen has been marching down the field, and ending a methodical drive with a rushing touchdown to take the lead.

bills win first playoff game since 1995

The first postseason game was a wild one. The Bills sent Indianapolis home with a 27-24 win. Allen had quite a nice day, throwing over 300 yards and leading the team in rushing yards. Colts QB Philip Rivers​ goes home, perhaps forever?

jared goff in for rams as john wolford hurts neck

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is in the game after expecting not to play due to a broken thumb. Starter John Wolford exited the game early after a hard hit. He has since been taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation from a neck injury.

dk metcalf scores 51-yard touchdown

For some reason, the Seattle Seahawks are on the struggle bus, when it really should be the Rams given their situation(s). Wide receiver DK Metcalf came to play, however, scoring a 51-yarder, cutting their lead 13-10.

RUSS TO DK! #Seahawks

rams are ahead at halftime

Even with losing their starting quarterback and having to play with an injured Goff, the Rams are up on Seattle at halftime, 20-10. One of the main reasons is rookie running back Cam Akers, who is making plays in his playoff debut.

seahawks fumble punt, rams score off it

It hasn't exactly been the Seahawks' best day. Returner DJ Reed fumbled, resulting in Rams' ball. And Los Angeles naturally turned it into a touchdown.

rams beat seahawks, badly

The Rams defense came out swinging on Saturday, even with the loss of star Aaron Donald. Los Angeles completely took Seahawks QB Russell Wilson out of the game, pulling out a 30-20 victory, and an advancement to next week. I'll wait until we see the availability of the players though. It looks... bleak.

bucs get on the board first with a field goal

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got on the scoreboard first against the Washington Football Team with a field goal on their opening drive. More importantly, Washington's defense was able to knock Bucs QB Tom Brady ​down more than once.

Brady is playing like Brady in the playoffs (and yelling at people too). He's thrown two touchdowns already, one to Chris Godwin and one to Antonio Brown.

Andrew Whitworth avoids torn ACL

11/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth was carted off the field during Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks with a tough-looking injury. The good news is he didn't tear his ACL. The bad news is he's going on injured reserve anyway. Whitworth's initial diagnosis is a torn MCL and a damaged PCL.

#Rams LT Andrew Whitworth suffered a torn MCL, source said following tests tonight. He also has damage to his PCL. The respected veteran is headed to Injured Reserve. The good news is his ACL is intact.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 16, 2020

Joe Noteboom assumed responsibility for Whitworth after his exit and will likely be in his spot moving forward. The Rams take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers​ next weekend.

Rams beat Washington, but that wasn't the top story

10/12/2020

0 Comments

 
The Los Angeles Rams flew across the country to visit the Washington Football Team, who still don't have a real name, and beat the pants off of them, 30-10. But that wasn't the top story of the day in Landover.

Aside from former starting quarterback Dwayne Haskins being benched for Kyle Allen (and then staying home because he had a sick tummy), ears were raised when Washington announced that Alex Smith would be the backup. Fast forward a little while to game-time. Allen endures a helmet-to-helmet shot from Rams CB Jalen Ramsey and is out of the game. Next up? Smith. 

I'm not going to go through the whole Smith-injury story. While it's a great comeback and good for him and all that jazz, if you're like me, you're watching through your fingers, hoping no one hits him. 

Rams QB Jared Goff took some time to speak on Smith's comeback, calling it "amazing."

Rams QB Jared Goff on Alex Smith's return to the field: "That is truly one of the most amazing things I think, not only that we've ever seen, but one of the most amazing things in football history, is him getting back from that injury."

Clay Matthews says 'nah' to the Broncos

9/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Ever since the Denver Broncos lost star linebacker Von Miller to a leg injury a mere few days ago, they have been looking high and low for a replacement since the season starts...... today. Free agent Clay Matthews is one of the top choices for a last-minute option, but it looks like that won't be happening.

Denver expressed interest in signing former Rams’ and Packers’ LB Clay Matthews, but was told he is “not going to play,” per source. Matthews would have been a strong replacement for the injured Von Miller.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 10, 2020

​This is probably the reason why Matthews hasn't been picked up yet. He didn't play poorly last season until he landed on injured reserve with a broken jaw.

The Los Angeles Rams released Matthews early this offseason, which followed with him filing a grievance with the team. Hence the reason another team hasn't signed him; if he takes money somewhere else, that means the Rams don't owe him. I hope that makes sense.

updated with response from agent:

While, above, I assume that he doesn't want to play this year because of said grievance, his agent released a statement explaining that Matthews is still open to playing this season, as long as it's for the "right" team. Aka, if the money is good enough to offset the grievance.

The Los Angeles Rams are locking up a few key players. First was cornerback Jalen Ramsey, next up looks to be wide receiver Cooper Kupp​. 

Sean McVay says that “it is the hope” that the Rams get a deal done with WR Cooper Kupp this week.

— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) September 9, 2020

That seems smart, as Kupp is heading into the last year of his rookie deal. 

Next up: Restructuring that god-awful Jared Goff​ deal.

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Travin Howard will miss the 2020 season due to a meniscus injury that will require surgery.

Sean McVay says that LB Travin Howard tore his meniscus, will have surgery and is out for the season.

— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) September 1, 2020

Howard spent his rookie year on the practice squad last season, and his spot was purely a depth position. However, now the Rams have even more problems with depth at the linebacker position.
