Wow. I really wanted him two years ago. I think he's done a great job for years and hope he gets another chance

A few thoughts about the Rams Game (Tribute to BillFromNYC)
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm trying to ration myself on the Lorax love. I've said in other threads that he's my favorite story on defense. I just love how he plays. Just trying to spread the love. -
I'll see your three and raise your Watkins, Dareus, and Karlos. All in good fun

3-2 but Tyrod has had 4 bad games this season
Virgil replied to Yeezus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's not 27 million. It's 17 plus a 10 signing bonus. That works out to a 19.5 mil cap hit. That's more than doable. Again, the deal was genius. -
This isn't crazy to me. I'd happily pay him with the Gilmore money. I think Chicago would listen too. He's 26 but does have some injury concerns. It won't happen, because reasons. But it's not a bad idea.

Does everyone get together before every home game? I'll be there this Sunday and was thinking about stopping by, time permitting.

Enough with the Bourbon Kings of the NFL!

A few thoughts about the Rams Game (Tribute to BillFromNYC)
Virgil replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just want to say that I am not taking the torch. I know that everyone loved his recaps and was something I looked forward too. They were hardly opinionated to any one extreme and he kept it objective. With that, it takes some time and thought to write these things out, and he said he wanted to take some time for himself. I'm only doing it because I thought it was a nice thing to have after games and I could use some objective thinking. It's a struggle 😀 With that, these are his recaps and always will be. I hope he decides to do them again someday. Until then, hopefully I, or anyone else who wants to try, doesn't mess them up too badly. -

I think that happened again the Pats. Today was a matter of a good defensive scheme. Throwing for over 30 times last week and spreading it around was quite the sight. -
Ask Keenum

You know what TT isn't doing? Losing games. He's doing what needs to be done and has had quite a few plays where his legs extended drives or created TD's. It's different, but it's the best we have and their isn't any grass on the other side of the fence. -

Thank you. It's tough to stay rational with this team. I'm going to become a heavy drinker to offset the burden -

I thought the same thing in the moment. I wanted to see a different camera angle to see if he could have gotten down to grab that. -
I'm picking up what you are putting down.

I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not. I'm going to assume you are and we are best friends!!! Now, tell me what you do for a living!

It's one of the things that so many of us overlook. Huge point. And Woods is making his share of mistakes too. I want to like Woods and see him succeed, but I just don't see him putting enough together this season to earn the money that someone else will pay him. -
The Ravens aren't done losing yet and we get to rectify the week 2 loss at the end of the season. Looking at tie-breakers this early is maddening.
-
I think the defense got outplayed a lot today. I'll take the win, but they had us running around and back-tracking a lot. Robey-Coleman made a great play or we are having a different conversation
-
Makes that week 2 loss hurt even more. Hey PatsFanNH, go !@#$ yourself! I'm sorry, it just comes out when I see one of you . In all seriousness, thank you for having some class on this board. I really hope you guys find a way to lose a few more, especially Oct 30th. Seeing Brady put up 400 yards today, Browns or not, doesn't feel good.

Lorenzo Alexander proving the Bills were right...

I love this kid! He might be my favorite player on the defense right now -
Phew. Let's just all take a minute and exhale and then get the hell out of LA. This is a game we find a way to lose. It was ugly, we got beat in spots, but it's still a W in the win column. I'm going to be a little more cynical with these points, but it's more about looking forward for corrections than not appreciating the win. With that, in honor of BillFromNYC.... 1 - This was probably our second worst game of the season in regards to not establishing a rhythm. We had a few good drives and we scored 30 points, which is nothing to sneeze at. But the team was inconsistent from drive to drive. As Rex would say, we didn't quit and that is true. I also give a ton of credit to the Rams coaching here. More on this later. 2 - McCoy looks vintage with both his cuts and speed. He was without question the offensive MVP and I don't want to think about how this game would have looked without him. Felton was right there with him and just made some great blocks. While TT added some rushing yards also, our rushing attack is much more balanced to our HB's this year. Biggest bright spot of the game. 3 - Robey-Coleman was an absolute spark plug for this team and the reason we were able to pull this game out. His burst to intercept that pick-6 and his emotion from that point on seemed to fuel the defense. He sure woke me up and got me back in the game. Props to this kid and everything he did for us. 4 - You sit there in crying, braiding your hair, You say you got trouble, my friend has a fair, Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. Now there is still some blind man, blind he can't see, You think he's complaining, why should you appeal? Don't tell me your troubles, I got enough of my own, Be thankful for living, drink up and go home. 5 - TT watch. I'm going to stick up for Tyrod in this game. He wasn't stellar by any means. We are not going to talk about him lining up behind Incognito . BUT, I think the lack of rhythm in this game had a huge affect on him and it's starting to be a theme for him. He looked terrible in the first two games. In games 3 & 4 however, Lynn found a way to move him around, establish some throws, and get him comfortable. That never seemed to happen today. The miss of Woods deep was a rough pass. I'm starting to think that he can't quite pinpoint Wood's speed. However, his last TD was a true grit throw. He found Clay OVER THE MIDDLE and often in the beginning. And credit to the Rams DB's for making some good plays. I'm chalking this game up to being on the West Coast and just being an off rhythm game for everyone. 6 - Gilmore watch. I feel like I have an internal meter that sways every game in regards to whether or not I want to extend Gilmore. This game, not so much. I keep hearing people say that think he's playing to not get injured. While I don't think that any player is that consciousness on the field, I get the sentiment. He's not playing at a level to deserve top 5 money. I'm going to give some leeway because of my issues with the scheme today (more on that later), but he's also not making the tackles. Overall, outside of Arizona, I can't remember really hearing his name mentioned in a good way. 7 - Rex vs Fisher. Please ignore my screen name while I say this as I've been starting to give Rex some credit lately. HOWEVER, I think Fisher owned Rex and the defense for most of this game. Keenum was completely passes all over the place and they weren't pinpoint throws. The Rams offense did a great job of using our over-commits against us. Most of the WR's were wide open and moved around the field. They did a great job of moving the pocket. I would have loved to see Rex have gone to a more basic defense. Keep one safety, keep Keenum in a tight pocket, and have him make the hard throws. 8 - Offensive Line gets a lot of credit today. There a small handful of plays where it got blown up, but they were pretty dominant for the most part. Aaron Donald was a non-factor with only 2 tackles. Easley was more of a force, but when you run for over 150 yards, the O-Line gets the credit. I'm very happy with how this unit is playing. 9 - Special Teams are making me more and more nervous. Another game, another miss by Carpenter. The decision to bring some of the kick-off's out of the endzone made me nervous. Credit to their punter, but field position really kept the Rams in this game early. I also have to give credit for stopping them on the fake punt. It was the game. That alone should be enough for positive marks. But I don't think it should have ever gotten to that point. 10 - A win is a win. We are 3-2 when it looked like 0-5 was very possible. They aren't all pretty but this is a game that we don't normally win and you need to if you are going to make the playoffs. We have two winnable games coming up (Kaep hopefully doesn't provide a spark) and then we welcome Brady to the Cap. Welcome to the team Justin Hunter. Not much talk about the Brown's in the middle, no disrespect intended. Smile, take the win, now get home. See some of you at the game next week. GO BILLS!!!!!!

Guess he didn't get carried off the field this time -
I hope it burns when you pee 🤗

I'm not saying I fully expect a win, but I just don't get that.
