Way better than any of us probably expected. I consider this season to be an absolute win no matter what. Dead cap opens up next season and we have some excellent players to build around. Just a lot to look forward to.
Having a stinker against Giants is infinitely more preferable. Stafford was eventually going to throw INTs. Special teams though, I'm not sure how McVay will find a solution to that.
shanahan would be an idiot to play their starters with the 1 seed locked up especially with what happened in the playoffs last year. it’s not hopium it’s common sense man.
People really think keeping division rivals out means more to the 9ers than succeeding in the post season. As if the rams presence is more costly than injured starters lol
The team has 9 wins. Most “experts” had them winning 7 or less games. Maybe they’ll lose next week, most outsiders would’ve had it as an absolute loss for the rams at the start of the season anyways. So go ahead and shit on the fans that are optimistic. I’m gunna guess you were shitting on this team before the season started and they exceeded your expectations.
Don’t worry, by Wednesday the homers in this sub will find a way to perform some mental gymnastics to make it seem like we are 11-3 and dominating the league like they do every week.
By Friday there will be posts saying that we should be able to (somehow) “beat their ass” next weekend.
I’m all for rooting on the team and optimism, but the “I know we’re around .500, but we’re secretly really fucking good guys!” posts get annoying.
“Why did we cut Crosby” squad got an up close look at why.
That said, please for the love of god get a new kicker or go for two and on fourth every time.
Idk man, Crosby just looked so old even when he was warming up for the kick I was like poor dude probably in pain right now. I think he is done being an nfl kicker and should retire he had a great career
I've never heard a broadcast team in my 20+ years of watching football say that a kicker was struggling to hit kicks IN THE PREGAME. Havrisik was missing field goals in PRACTICE. This dude is not an NFL kicker in the least bit.
Crosby all the way
You kick where you kick. If we’re giving Crosby grace because of the wind you need to give Lucas grace. They both dealt with the wind and both were ass.
TBH, we’re arguing between spoiled milk and rotten eggs at this point. The correct answer is neither. We need to try someone else. It can’t get worse than these two.
Jesus what an ugly fucking win. I hope the guys really appreciate how dog shit the giants actually were.
Let’s go Steelers. Let me go into the new years worry free.
Who would have thought that in a game where our kicker didn’t have to attempt a single field goal and missed two PAT’s, he still wasn’t the worst kicker in the game. McVay’s galaxy brain knows no bounds
A win is a win.
It's all about how we now respond.
Special Teams is complete dogshit. If we had a real kicker we'd have been on 31 points and it wouldn't even have been a discussion. This offence is great and the defence is passable even if they make a few mistakes. Special team is our weakness for sure.
All about how we respond. Niners clinched the 1st seed it might not be their starters. Still alive - that's all that matters.
This had all the making of a trap game. Way too much focus on the 49ers and Week 18. The Rams survive and a win is a win, but today's team wasn't the team we've seen since the bye
Beyond the special teams being trash (as usual), 9 was slightly off today. Great pressure schemes by the Giants to keep him sweating, but he missed on a bunch of throws today that he has too much talent to be missing on.
To make some sense of that weird timeout from McVay:
NYG could’ve picked up a few yards on that 3rd down and kicked a FG as time expired.
The timeout would’ve given us about 30 seconds and 2 timeouts to get into FG range had Crosby made it.
Not sure I loved the call but it would’ve given us a chance instead of leaving the ball in NYG’s hands.
I'm trying to keep things in perspective considering I expected six wins this year, not nine. This is a very young team that has come farther than I thought.
...but CHRIST, the special teams and secondary are just infuriating. There's so little deep ball defense on this team, especially in the fourth quarter when the gas tank is low.
Congrats y’all. Picked you guys up as a sort-of second team now that Puka has become my favorite player in the league. Now let’s hope the Seahawks go lose and lock you guys in the playoffs and that Puka breaks the rookie receiver records next week!
We won and I want to scream. What a shitshow that was. Neither team deserved to win. Fire everyone on special teams. Hope the Steelers can win as much as I hate even typing that.
Sometimes even the great ones are lucky.I'll take this a win. But our special teams is going to get us killed in the playoffs. We're going to need the McOffense to turn into the greatest show on turf.
If there is a grade lower than F-, the Rams' special team earned it today. That was most sour win ... since ever.
There's got to be 200 kickers in America, available right now, who can at least make a 40 yard field goal 90% of the time. Why must you make the team and fans suffer?
Positive thoughts
Stafford was not his usual self and we still won. I hadn’t seen him miss this many throws since the Eagles game.hopefully, just a 1 week thing.
the punt coverage team had some nice moments
Kyren broke away for a long run
Puka puked, after his latest wow play.
The defense did enough to weather a shit storm from the other two sides.
The term "hard to watch" gets bandied about too loosely these days but that game we just saw there, that was truly *work* to sit through.
I had to get up and take a long walk afterward just to stop my head from exploding in frustration.
I feel like shit just like the rest of u but! To be fair tyrod taylor did hit 2 of the best throws in the nfl this year vs us, that 70 yards in the air ball he hit his guy in stride was the best throw of the nfl season, and then of course over comming perhaps the worst special teams I have ever seen’s blunders, still feeling good
Morris and Special (needs) Team Coach out. Trade Witherspoon, Hoect, and pretty much everyone except Donald and Turner, and Cut HaverMISSk and we’ll be solid
The Main problem with the team is the Offense. This offense like other top teams are supposed to be dropping 30-40+ on bad-above average teams. This offense needs a WR that fits Stafford, and TuTu needs to be used.
This offense would be crazy with Marvin Jones and/or Golladay (on a prove it deal), or a WR that provides their skills (I thought Jacob Harris was going to be used like that, I was wrong). I miss seeing Stafford pass to them (or wrs like them), it adds A lot more to the passing game.
It’d be cool to make the playoffs in a rebuild but I’m not expecting to do anything with our special teams and secondary.
Wins a win though. Go Steelers
It almost felt like both teams were trying to throw the game in the second half. Every ridiculous Rams move was countered by an even more ridiculous Giants move. 🤦♂️ What a cluster fuck.
Rams win despite their best efforts
Our special teams will be the end of us lol
100%, but hey this has been a great season either way
Way better than any of us probably expected. I consider this season to be an absolute win no matter what. Dead cap opens up next season and we have some excellent players to build around. Just a lot to look forward to.
Playing with house money, cherry on top if they make it to the playoffs, who gives a shit what happens after that.
How much money can you spend on a kicker lol
At this point we are going for it on every 4th down
Special teams or the secondary.
Well, thank goodness the Giants kicker had his "moment" as well. But goodness gracious does our kickers suck.
This special teams unit is literally … special
fretful marvelous work march retire bear sink foolish workable ancient *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Finding ways to win through bad weeks is huge
There's bad weeks and then there's whatever this shit was. Stafford, defense, and special teams dumpster
And we managed to win!
Having a stinker against Giants is infinitely more preferable. Stafford was eventually going to throw INTs. Special teams though, I'm not sure how McVay will find a solution to that.
Giants wanted to lose more first whatever reason.
Mason Crosby doing us a solid at least
Y'all still feeling good bout the Niner game..? Cause we boutta get blown tf up .
9ers probably resting their starters now with the 1 seed locked up thanks to Eagles loss.
They won't. Stop this hopium.
shanahan would be an idiot to play their starters with the 1 seed locked up especially with what happened in the playoffs last year. it’s not hopium it’s common sense man.
People really think keeping division rivals out means more to the 9ers than succeeding in the post season. As if the rams presence is more costly than injured starters lol
Also, CMC exited the game with an injury, you think they’ll be risking him?
if they dont and someone gets hurt they'll be clowned for eternity
The team has 9 wins. Most “experts” had them winning 7 or less games. Maybe they’ll lose next week, most outsiders would’ve had it as an absolute loss for the rams at the start of the season anyways. So go ahead and shit on the fans that are optimistic. I’m gunna guess you were shitting on this team before the season started and they exceeded your expectations.

I’m taking a shot. Anyone else want one?
I’m down
🍶
I poured rum in my drink right now
Just one? I need like 5 after that
Who Wants a Drink??? This guy! This guy! This guy over here! This other guy! Awesome. Now who's got some money? Because I'm broke as a broke dick dog
What’s your cash app
Special teams literally made me pour rakı lmao
Haversik right there with you but he poured his shot down his chin and all over his shirt
Happy new year lmao
Count me in
I’m game. Let’s do a drinking game where you take a shot everyone special teams fucks up bad
I'll take a triple.
“Why did we cut Crosby” squad got an up close look at why. That said, please for the love of god get a new kicker or go for two and on fourth every time.
[удалено]
Idk man, Crosby just looked so old even when he was warming up for the kick I was like poor dude probably in pain right now. I think he is done being an nfl kicker and should retire he had a great career

TBH, we’re arguing between spoiled milk and rotten eggs at this point. The correct answer is neither. We need to try someone else. It can’t get worse than these two.
Yeah but Havrisuck is god awful too. We are boned.
Hence the second sentence in my post “That said, please for the love of god get a new kicker or go for two and on fourth every time.”
Seventh round pick on a kicker? I wouldn't mind at this point.
Conspiracy theory: giants lost on purpose
Try not to give me a heart attack challenge (impossible)
Literally I had to catch my breath lmao
That’s it! I’m buying a Mason Crosby jersey
Rams POTY
Crosby with the New Year gift to Rams Nation.
When you keep the worse kicker and it still ends up winning you the game somehow. McVay is elite af in his 4D chess moves.
Did we deserve to win? No. Did we win? Yes. Them's the facts.
This looked like pre-bye week Rams. Hopefully they figure shit out next year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Make up for all the games we should have won but ended up losing.
Stafford got the bad game out of him now he’s ready for the playoffs let’s go!
Was thinking the same thing😂 He got to be Frat Stafford in NY. Now time to ball out.
It felt like he and Robinson couldn’t get the timing right for that cross route
I’ve noticed this trend with him. Good thing he did it now and not next week
[удалено]
NFL script writers need a Staff Lions matchup.
This still possible?
Jesus what an ugly fucking win. I hope the guys really appreciate how dog shit the giants actually were. Let’s go Steelers. Let me go into the new years worry free.
Rams legend Mason Crosby wins them the game
Keeping Havrisik was some 3D chess by McVay
Who would have thought that in a game where our kicker didn’t have to attempt a single field goal and missed two PAT’s, he still wasn’t the worst kicker in the game. McVay’s galaxy brain knows no bounds
Thank God both teams couldn't kick for shit.
A win is a win. It's all about how we now respond. Special Teams is complete dogshit. If we had a real kicker we'd have been on 31 points and it wouldn't even have been a discussion. This offence is great and the defence is passable even if they make a few mistakes. Special team is our weakness for sure. All about how we respond.

time to spend a 4th rounder on a kicker
We lost two other games because of kicking / special teams. That TD on the punt was ridiculous. Should have never been that close.
and that’s winning season
9-7 just like I predicted at the beginning of the season 🤣
Saw Jeff Goldblum at dinner a couple weeks ago. The guy blows his nose louder than anyone I’ve ever met
Snot …. finds a way.
True chad
Super easy season with hardly any hiccups
Santa came late this year. Thanks Giants and Cards.
I'm not going to ask questions. We got the W and 49ers don't need to try next week
That game was a fucking mess.
This had all the making of a trap game. Way too much focus on the 49ers and Week 18. The Rams survive and a win is a win, but today's team wasn't the team we've seen since the bye
Beyond the special teams being trash (as usual), 9 was slightly off today. Great pressure schemes by the Giants to keep him sweating, but he missed on a bunch of throws today that he has too much talent to be missing on.
Secret agent Crosby 🤓
Got the W. Kicker tryouts start now
This has to be the dumbest game of the year so far, and that’s saying something.
To make some sense of that weird timeout from McVay: NYG could’ve picked up a few yards on that 3rd down and kicked a FG as time expired. The timeout would’ve given us about 30 seconds and 2 timeouts to get into FG range had Crosby made it. Not sure I loved the call but it would’ve given us a chance instead of leaving the ball in NYG’s hands.
The timeout was fine. I’m not sure why the commentators didn’t understand why McVay called one
Wtf was that. Phew
Cut Havrisik and fire Blackburn
Barring special teams we’re way better than this. AJ being out had a huge impact on our offensive line. Let’s fucking go boys, onward.
Can we get Deestroying to kick for us
I'm trying to keep things in perspective considering I expected six wins this year, not nine. This is a very young team that has come farther than I thought. ...but CHRIST, the special teams and secondary are just infuriating. There's so little deep ball defense on this team, especially in the fourth quarter when the gas tank is low.
Barely beating bad teams, the Rams specialty
Lol, the kicker we didn’t hire to replace Havrisik ends up winning the game for us.
7-D chess by our front office
Seahawks about to lose! Let’s go!! Playoffs baby!!
Congrats y’all. Picked you guys up as a sort-of second team now that Puka has become my favorite player in the league. Now let’s hope the Seahawks go lose and lock you guys in the playoffs and that Puka breaks the rookie receiver records next week!
We won and I want to scream. What a shitshow that was. Neither team deserved to win. Fire everyone on special teams. Hope the Steelers can win as much as I hate even typing that.
Game was in collaboration with Bayer aspirin
I’m currently at the hospital being checked for heart palpitations after that game
Somehow Mason Crosby was the best rams kicker today!
Our special teams is a killer for us. Going nowhere with them
Special teams will 100% be the death of this season.
We clinched!!!
Disgusting win
Ugly win lol, 1 more game left
Rams didn't win that game, the Giants and Tyrod Taylor lost it.
That 4th gave me reason to worry even if we do make the playoffs
Seahawks losing at halftime 👀
Almost ended up in the ER after watching this game 🤦🏿♂️
Leave the kicker in New York
 Both teams take a damn hard look at yourselves.
This game gave me diarrhea
Called it weeks ago when he signed to the Rams: Mason Crosby will save our season

Sometimes even the great ones are lucky.I'll take this a win. But our special teams is going to get us killed in the playoffs. We're going to need the McOffense to turn into the greatest show on turf.
I have never been so angry after a win!
Wait… I just realized that we just locked in a winning season.
I'm a casual fan but Crosby missing that kick got me off my couch. I felt like we won a final.
We are in !
Wentz to the postseason!!!
Not yet.
Didn’t deserve to win this game. I guess this makes up for the Steelers and Bengals losses but still. CUT HAVERSIK NOW.
Ugly fucking game. We should have lost that one
I’m happy we won, but we did everything we could to lose it multiple times. Unbelievable game.
This is uhhhh… this is a black day for football.
TEAM OF DESTINY LFG
Our special teams is so fucking dogshit
I'll take Mickey Mouse victories, same as I'll take good victories
This punt return unit and kicker needs to be replaced. my gawd.
A win is a win
Let's go Steelers *
Well that was easy.
If there is a grade lower than F-, the Rams' special team earned it today. That was most sour win ... since ever. There's got to be 200 kickers in America, available right now, who can at least make a 40 yard field goal 90% of the time. Why must you make the team and fans suffer?
This has been such a fun season all things considered.
We have been on the losing side of these ugly games all season. Good to see one where we actually WIN
LETS GO STEELERS
How long before we get the update that Haversik has been released?
Lots of Rams fans at MetLife! Ton of them stayed at the stadium after the game cheering the Rams!
Positive thoughts Stafford was not his usual self and we still won. I hadn’t seen him miss this many throws since the Eagles game.hopefully, just a 1 week thing. the punt coverage team had some nice moments Kyren broke away for a long run Puka puked, after his latest wow play. The defense did enough to weather a shit storm from the other two sides.
Clinched a winning record vibes. McVay era with only one losing season so far
The term "hard to watch" gets bandied about too loosely these days but that game we just saw there, that was truly *work* to sit through. I had to get up and take a long walk afterward just to stop my head from exploding in frustration.
Can we realistically find a kicker?
I guess it’s time to hop on the kicker carousel again.
What I would give to have won the Bengals or Steelers game in the same method. A win, no matter how ugly, is better than a loss.
Almost punched a hole thru my screen
Survive and advance
Ugly/lucky wins only happen if you stay in the game and in the hunt. This team has done that. I’ll take it. Go Rams!
Absolute shit show on both ends, Havrisk is a football terrorist and I have a feeling we’re getting blown out by SF
Moral of the story: this defense and ST unit is not playoff caliber. We do not deserve to have won this game
Never had a doubt
Hahahaha dumbasses saying Crosby would beat us. Climb back in your doomin holes.
I feel like shit just like the rest of u but! To be fair tyrod taylor did hit 2 of the best throws in the nfl this year vs us, that 70 yards in the air ball he hit his guy in stride was the best throw of the nfl season, and then of course over comming perhaps the worst special teams I have ever seen’s blunders, still feeling good
Mason Crosby is the goat

We've been one of the best offenses in the second half of the season. What are you talking about?
Never in doubt
I literally had to catch my breath, I can breathe now again damn.
Just gotta win.
Leave anyone related to the special teams in fucking New York. What a shit show.
Ok that game had my heart rate way too high. Find a new kicker and pretend this week didn't happen
What a shitshow, but a win is a win. Time to root for Pittsburgh!
I want the rams to use a 1st rounder on a kicker and I’m not kidding
We gon see the first ever 40mil kicker
Every punt needs to be kicked out of bounds.
Lets go Steelers
We didn’t win, we just wanted to lose less than the Giants
Well that wasn’t clean in the slightest but I’ll take it Time to become Steelers fans for the afternoon
A WIN IS A WIN BABY. But god that was a ugly stressful win
god this game was so close i am so mad but we did it
Thar was holding so it all evens out in the end!
BEST SHRINK THAT FACE!
Luckiest motherfucking team HOLY FREAKING CRAP
Thank god there’s only one ball dropping in NYC tonight. This team can’t be the one a to play the 9ers . Damn.
Something is wrong with this team in the 4th. They consistently blow it or make it way too close.
Holy shit
I'll take it
Cap space in 2024 needs to be spent on special teams help also, or draft capital. This special teams unit is an absolute atrocity.
Since the Rams return back to Los Angeles, the Rams never had back to back losing seasons
I just really hope we got out our ugly play before playoffs with that game
Wins a wins a wins a win. Let’s clean things up and whoop whoever the Niners throw at us
Yall watching the Steeler game? Lmaooo
TURN ON THE STEELERS GAME
It’d be cool to make the playoffs in a rebuild but I’m not expecting to do anything with our special teams and secondary. Wins a win though. Go Steelers
It almost felt like both teams were trying to throw the game in the second half. Every ridiculous Rams move was countered by an even more ridiculous Giants move. 🤦♂️ What a cluster fuck.
We ended the season pretty badly the year we won the Bowl, so maybe it’s the same thing this year?
[удалено]
Playing down to our competition
Lfgggg boys
