Rams vs. Seahawks is always a must-watch game. There always seems to be SOMETHING on the line, even if one of the two teams are completely eliminated from playoff contention. This one is particularly interesting, because the Rams can simultaneously do the following things with a victory in Seattle: keep the Seahawks OUT of the playoffs, and potentially send Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions to the playoffs IF they're able to take down the Packers in Green Bay. Eyes will be focused on players name...

After a short break, we're back to cover the Rams' 31-10 loss at SoFi Stadium (considered an away game for the Rams), which now brings them to 5-11 on the 2022-2023 season. It's the most losses by a defending Super Bowl champ in NFL history, while the Chargers improve to 10-6. But does it have the same feeling of a normal 5-11 season? To us, the priority at this point is putting together a legitimately competitive group, while still evaluating some of the younger players to see what they're capa...

The Rams have to travel to Lambeau Field this upcoming Monday night to play the 5-8 Packers in what's expected to be the Rams' coldest game since 1992. When weather plays a factor and both teams are trending in the wrong direction, what are some of the elements that help propel you to a victory? Smart coaching, winning at the line of scrimmage, a solid commitment to the run game and a little bit of what we saw with Jared Goff in 2017 & 2018 (schematically). Keep the gameplan simplified, capi...

The Rams defeated the Raiders in dramatic fashion in SoFi Stadium last night, 17-16. It wasn't only Baker Mayfield's debut... but it was his debut after getting claimed 48 hours prior by Sean McVay and the Rams. In miraculous fashion (and after only putting up 3 points in the first half) the Rams' offense began clicking halfway through the fourth quarter and the Raheem Morris' defense simultaneously decided to play the best form of complementary football possible - while only allowing 67 yards i...

The Seahawks beat the Rams, 27-23 and improve to 7-5 while the Rams drop to 3-9 and have lost 6-straight games, which is the worst start for a reigning Super Bowl champion in NFL history. The Rams now have to do some continued digging and look at their current roster to see how they're going to approach the offseason. While a handful of players outperformed our expectations, the end result wasn't what we wanted to see (after being in position to win), but there were some signs of life on both si...

The Rams are back at home this weekend to face a familiar foe in the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are struggling, too, after failing (in Munich) to beat Brady, resting for a bye week, then losing a tough game in overtime to Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raiders. But that three-week stretch is nothing compared to the Rams' 5-game losing streak they're currently battling against, and another winless November's in consecutive seasons. HOWEVER, it very much feels like Seattle's defense against the...

The Rams' recent struggles aren't a huge surprise to #rams fans, knowing how decimated they've been by injuries. But to lose 5-straight and fall to 3-8 after winning the Super Bowl is a massive fall from grace. We dug into how the Rams' core can stay intact, players we've been watching closely to see if they can cut it on next year's roster and featured 5 fans on the new weekly segment of #MondayPain . #podcast #nfl...

Plenty to unpack after another loss against the Saints, as the Rams now drop to 3-7 on the season. With Matthew Stafford now dealing with multiple concussions in a three-week span, it seems the Rams' season is fading quickly. There's plenty to watch for, though: specifically looking for a large handful of players to show they belong on the roster for next year. We also discuss what the potential pitch would sound like to keep the core intact, we go through the contributions from the fans on #Mon...

The Rams travel to New Orleans this weekend to play the Saints -- in a game that both teams need to win desperately. The Saints seem like they're in complete disarray after their loss to Pittsburgh, but the Rams have lost 5 out of the last 6 games and are freefalling in a very similar fashion. The important questions are: who's going to replace Cooper Kupp, how will the offensive line hold up, and will people still be blaming the defense if the offense is incapable of moving the ball? Luckily (a...

There's no question about it - the Rams are struggling mightily. In a game that didn't feature Matthew Stafford or Kyler Murray, the Rams managed to put 17-points on the board (7 of which were in garbage time) and lost their most important offensive weapon in Cooper due to an awful throw by John Wolford, and a questionable hit by Marco Wilson. In the 27-17 loss to Arizona, the Rams' offense (once again) looked like a shell of what it once was, and it's obvious that they need a massive overhaul g...

The Cardinals (3-6) are traveling to SoFi Stadium to face the 3-5 Rams on Sunday. Many would argue that the whole season (for both teams) comes down to this game, and both may be without their starting QB's. The Cardinals are coming off a really tough back-to-back losses to the Vikings, and then the Seahawks this past weekend, and have lost 4 of their last 5 -- which means they're as desperate and as hungry as ever to beat up on the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. We dig in...

The Rams' struggles continue as they drop another game on the road to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 16-13. Record is now 3-5, and we're all forced to ask ourselves as fans - what's next for this team? In this episode, we dig into the Rams' stale, inconsistent and frankly boring offense (which is now ranked dead last in the league) and the "bend don't break" defense that seems to be criticized more than it should be - based on how McVay's offense has been recently performing. How do you get out of th...

The Rams are currently 3-4 and are heading into Raymond James Stadium to face-off against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. The Bucs are coming off a 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and are currently 1-3 at home and Tom Brady is coming off his first 3-game losing streak in 20 years. Is this a good sign for a struggling Rams team, who was dead silent during the deadline? We think so. That, plus the latest on Cam Akers re-joining the team, additional moves around the league and Nick's Picks (with a...

The Rams fell short in their home stadium in what was their second chance this regular season to beat the 49ers. In a situation that we believed was plenty winnable (with the 49ers dealing with a handful of injuries) - the Rams squandered away a 14-10 lead and ended up allowing 21 unanswered points in the second half of this game. We discuss some of the key moments that could've swung momentum in our favor: Ramsey's forced fumble, Higbee's drop, etc., as well as how we underestimated the severit...

The Rams are hosting the 49ers in SoFi Stadium this weekend, as they get ready to face off against their biggest rival for the second time in less than a month. There's no doubt that the Rams have come off their bye week much healthier, as the 49ers are currently struggling with injuries to some key players on both sides of the ball. We get into how the Rams could potentially set themselves up for victory in this game (hint, don't completely abandon the run early) and utilize the pieces that wer...

The Rams are on a bye week, but that didn't stop us from speculating trade scenarios around the league, and how they could potentially unfold to benefit the Rams. The latest odds/news on Odell Beckham Jr., Cam Akers, Melvin Gordon, Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns, Robert Quinn, Bradley Chubb and any other potential trade scenarios that could happen before the trade deadline. The Rams may only be a few pieces away from putting the puzzle together again, so we spent some time speculating and stay...

The Rams defeated the Carolina Panthers, 24-10 in SoFi Stadium to snap their two-game losing skid against San Francisco and Dallas. Going into the half losing 10-7, Rams fans were boo'ing the Rams as they jogged into the home tunnel. There was a lot of animosity, based on the fans' expectations of this team coming off a Super Bowl victory. But after the half, the Rams' offense adjusted and came out firing with a complimentary and evenly dispersed effort by Matthew Stafford & the Rams' receiv...

The Rams are currently 2-3, with the Panthers looming on Sunday. We preview the 1-4 Carolina Panthers, who've just lost their head coach and (seemingly) their starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield. Long behold, their interim head coach (Steve Wilks) has been around quite some time, and there's plenty of reasons to get behind P.J. Walker, who we've seen play well in this league before. If the Rams can attack the left side of the offensive line and keep Walker uncomfortable, they may find themsel...

The Rams have dropped their second straight game -- this time to the Dallas Cowboys, who seemingly had something to prove defensively all game. They knew there was a major weakness upfront (due to a boatload of injuries), and they immediately took advantage. Outside of additional offensive line help, it's fair to start questioning some of the play calls, player usage and schemes, considering how badly bruised this team is upfront. Their offense was forced to change, but at times -- it still trie...

Full Cowboys game preview is live, starting with the Cowboys' offense (lead by Cooper Rush). If the Rams are able to implement the same type of defensive gameplan the 49ers used against us (allowing Kupp to get his and limiting others), does the offense have enough to win this game and get back to a winning record? Cowboys fans are calling their defense this year: "the best they've ever seen", and with the amount of star-power and speed they have, it may cause issues for the Rams' offense. Creat...

The banged-up Rams didn't fare well against the 49ers in their home stadium for the long-awaited NFC Championship rematch, as they were defeated 24-9. With three legitimate opportunities to score in the redzone, the offense wasn't sharp enough to convert and made a crucial mistake down the stretch on telegraphed screen to Cooper Kupp. The defense did what they could, considering defense back depth was hurt and Jimmy G was getting rid of the ball in 2.23 seconds (on average). Aaron Donald finishe...

The NFC Championship rematch is finally here. The Rams' biggest rival, the 49ers, are hosting them on Monday Night Football - in a game where there are no true implications except ownership over the NFC West, and pride. We take you back to the three match-ups against the 49ers last year, what went wrong in the first two and how the Rams went onto hoist the Lombardi in Los Angeles. Additionally, we'll dig into who the 49ers are throughout the first 3 games of this season, who the Rams have become...

The Rams took care of business against the Arizona Cardinals and improved to 2-1 on the season (and have won 10 of the last 11 match-ups against Kliff Kingsbury and the Cardinals). McVay's offense continues to evolve and add new layers - specifically in the run game, where we saw players like Cooper Kupp and Ben Skowronek lead the way as blockers, pass catchers and threats to beat you on the ground. Cooper Kupp comes away with his first-career rushing touchdown, and Aaron Donald comes away with ...

In the latest, we preview the 1-1 Arizona Cardinals, who have lost to the Chiefs in Arizona, 44-21 and miraculously beat the Raiders in overtime, 29-23 (1-1 record). The objective for both teams is to attempt to start fast, and keep your foot on the throttle. The Cardinals have been outscored 40-7 in the first half and opponents have scored on 8 of their first 10 first half possessions. There's a legitimate opportunity for the Los Angeles Rams' "new look" offense to expose Arizona early, and hol...

The Rams win 31-27 at home in a game that was full of unnecessary stress towards the end. In a full Falcons @ Rams game recap, we'll take you through each series, where we saw improvements, and where there was room to make corrections. The Rams' offense was near perfect in the first half, but the offense and special teams unit made crucial mistakes down the stretch and the defense had to take over when it mattered most. The combination of Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey and smart coaching in the last...

On the other side, we dug into Aaron Donald, the Rams' lack of pressure on the front, Bobby Wagner's debut and Ramsey's post-game comments about focusing on man late in the game vs. zone.

The season is upon us. J.B. Long said it best in the latest Rams post on social media “Defending champs cling to past glory, while reigning champs dictate the future”. How will the Rams respond to the "Super Bowl Hangover"? Well, we feel like big media is discrediting the Rams, solely based on their roster losses from last year. But when you dig into the detail and preview the match-ups, you start to wonder why there isn't the same kind of talk in Buffalo. With the Bills being the unanimous Supe...

The Rams hosted the Houston Texans last night for their second preseason game. Both the Rams’ offense and defense faced the Texans first-team offense and defense — consisting of players like Davis Mills, Nico Collins, and Obo Okoronkwo. The backup QB controversy continues, but how are other players progressing this preseason — specifically guys like Logan Bruss, Brycen Hopkins, Kendall Blanton, Daniel Hardy, and Lance McCutcheon (to name a few). What we’re seeing from the Rams’ offensive line de...

The Rams kicked off their season with a preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. There were a ton of unknowns going into this game, particularly if we were going to see players like John Wolford, or Tutu Atwell on the field. Instead, we got a steady dose of Bryce Perkins, who (when paired with Lance McCutcheon) showed that an incredible play is just right around the corner. Additionally, we dug into the 4 Rams RB's who received carries on Saturday night's game, how rookie Logan Bruss fai...
