The miserable Dolphin defense also helped Cam looked good. Has their defensive coordinator ever heard of setting the edge?

Me:
I wonder if people are overreacting to one game?

*Opens Twitter*

Me:
That’s a hard yes.

Tell Bears fans that. By halftime, half of them were on the verge of suicide, and then Mitch-A-Palooza happened in the 2nd half.

During the Chargers-Bengals game, you could hear the coaches cursing at the Cincinnati kicker after he missed the 31 yard chip shot field goal attempt.

Those Bungles...

He made Cam look better than he has in years today.

Jury is still out.
What we do know is Cam played a woeful Miami team, at home (for whatever that is worth). Brady played an elite New Orleans team with the closest thing TB has to a peer in Drew Brees, in New Orleans(for whatever that is worth).

You could hear cussing in the Bills game too. Going to be an issue without crowd noise to drown it out.

Sigh. The new Rams stadium in Inglewood looks f'ing incredible.

Would have loved to attend tonight's game. I'll be waiting for next year to burn my ticketmaster gift card, hopefully the NFL lets them open on Sunday night next year.

I thought that if Tampa Bay played a clean game, they probably would have blown the Saints out. Their defense looked really good.

A good point on the postgame show: Think about how long the Saints unit has been together, and then have that longevity and comfort contrasted to the Bucs who are putting all these new pieces together on the fly.

I think Tampa will be fine.

Hit the nail on the head. Also would like to point out that TB is putting all this together during a pandemic.
Today’s game could’ve been the NFC Championship game preview.

I agree, nice work Ray, that oculus board is insane.

[rickah88]

Ok Rayne Dakota, need you to show up tonight!

Btw, was it ever explained how Jace Dakota lost his life? Was it a health condition?

[ctujackbauer]

Strangely, the LA logo looks almost passable or halfway close to decent in the bottom score crawl.

Still should have gone with a throwback logo or something resembling a ram though.

[Moviefan1203]

Gotta love the Rams rushing to the line and Goff giving the blank stare waiting for McVay to break things down for him.

Thanks Bigdog.

The stadium looks great on TV. The Oculus came out phenomenal.
So much material and hard work inside of it.
I’ll be there tomorrow adding random receptacles and data outlets that Stan’s people want installed for convenience.
I’m looking forward to see if they show any footage from the POV cameras I worked on leading to and inside of the Rams locker room.
This is pretty exciting. I’ve put in over 4,000 hours in a little over two years there, so far.

[rickah88]

That stadium does look amazing. A shame it opened this year, but it will be holding many fans for years to come. Hopefully when we ALL don’t have to worry about the ominous backdrop of a pandemic.
Really liking the Rams uniforms too!

Was going to say, too bad they cant go into the electric or mechanical rooms to show your MEP masterpieces haha. Place looks great though, hopefully fans and they will wine and dine you builders once things hopefully open up.

[Moviefan1203]

Stadium is beautiful, Ray. You did an awesome job.

Vander Esch with another neck injury scares me. Worst case scenario a talented linebacker that may have to retire early.
