This game belongs on the Hallmark channel.

Because it's during the Christmas season and it's boring as all hell.

Well played. I'm stealing this and texting it to my friend as if I thought it up myself.

Yeah, thinking Vegas or the mob has anything to do with it is crazy.

Put it this way; how would you define Goodell's tenure so far? Would you say his actions have been about the "game" or about growing the business and profits? Has he pushed the envelope of player safety and common sense by the flirtation with London and TNF package? What does he seem to be about?

He's all about dollars. And rating's means dollars. If he can help it he'll want games that give him the most ratings and revenue lover all else. He's knowingly and willfully cheapened some games and defenses in exchange for dollars. Has every new rule he's implemented allowed for even MORE control of the game for the refs, or less?You really, really think it's beyond Goodell to try and guide a few things here and there?

I'm not saying there's a memo or edict passed down. But, there's some messages sent for sure.

Rams aint winning this game. They have no shot. Zero pressure on the QB

People sure like to speak in extremes. The 6-point favorite is down 3 by half. Suddenly they have no shot.

Good one.

Of course our low scoring slugfests have to bore the hell out of non NFC west fans. At least we have dynamic guys like Russ, Shawn, Earl, Sherm, etc. At least our games are entertaining.
The Chin giving RW props.

Man, we're the only team in our div with a real QB, sauce for the friggin goose!

Is Fisher any good at halftime adjustments?

NO!!

Example: Almost every loss.

Are Cards good at halftime adjustments: YES!!

Example: almost every win.

It's one of the Cards best talents.


Rams are now facing their worst opponent: Half-time. Hope they get it together here.

There's no questioning whether or not he's the friend of every owner. I bet if you would have seen this coming, you woulda' bought a team, huh? Yeah...you shoulda'. Scary ass money and whenever scary ass money is involved, anything is possible. I don't mind things being unfair, I just want to be on the right side of all that unfairness.

If the Rams would simply play as hard against the Cards as they do against the Hawks, they would win this game easily. No pressure on Stanton, and Hill looks like a joke.

Awful game between two bad teams.

But it's a bit frustrating that the bloody Rams can't do us a favor here.

And why does Fisher always save his bag of tricks for US???
