Man, that Lions pick from the Rams keeps looking better.

[RandyMarsh]

Stafford under throws a wide open receiver 30 yards down the field then follows it up with the devastating pick 6 to give the Packers the 36-17 lead with 2pt conversion attempt coming. The more things change the more they stay the same.

The Rams have alot of tough games left. Got the gimme next week with Jacksonville but after that they have to go to Arizona, play at Baltimore, at Minnesota and they close with SF who destroyed them earlier this year. They got off to a great start so they should be in the playoffs but if they're not careful they very well are looking at being a bottom seed going on the road in which case the Lions pick could end up being around 20th.

[Motown Bombers]

I watched these last 3 Rams game and I can't remember a worse 3 game stretch outside of his rookie season. The Rams certainly don't have a playoff spot locked up yet. This could get ugly. They won 10 games and a playoff game with Goff last year. If they are one and done, is McVay on the hot seat?

SF and Minnesota are on their heels in the playoff chase. Loses to both could knock them out of the playoffs all together. The Rams would lose the tiebreaker with each team.

McVay has such a punchable face, not to mention comes across as arrogant as all hell with the smartest guy in the room vibe so nothing would please me more than to see him get fired. 

[Motown Bombers]

Man, 3rd down less than a minute no timeouts down two scores and McVay calls a run.

[RandyMarsh]

That was some great clock management there by the "genius" Sean McVay.

[Motor City Sonics]

Stafford 1-3 vs. winning teams this year. 

Sound familiar? 

[Motown Bombers]

Did Kelly throw any cheese logs at Packer fans?

[MichiganCardinal]

I feel bad for him, reports are that he’s hurting bad and trying to toughen through it. His line is doing him no favors.

That said, he can go 7-10 and I won’t lose any sleep.

[buddha]

statistically he had a really good game.  but i watched a lot of it and he looked terrible.

I don't know what the Rams expected when they traded for him. He is who he is, a good QB, sometimes a great QB, and sometimes an average QB who frequently struggles against better defenses.

It shouldn't be shocking that Stafford has clammed up against good teams but I also think the Akers and Woods injuries are devastating to that offense. They have no run game and Woods is probably their best all around receiver.

With that said, Stafford has made a lot of mistakes that were self inflicted. We've seen that movie before against top teams. They probably still make the playoffs but wouldn't be it lovely if they somehow missed and the Lions get the 17th or 18th pick.

Akers isn't substantially better than Darrell Henderson. The WR excuse can be used either when you sign OBJ and have arguably the best WR in the league this season in Cooper Kupp. Stafford is out of excuses and if they are a early exit from the playoffs I suspect that will somewhat, maybe largely, be on him. I think this is par for the course for Stafford against good to great defenses.

I think Akers is significantly better.

[Shinzaki]

Given his hx of spinal fracture(s)... I would not have traded for him  That's a really difficult injury to completely  come back from.  Not to mention all the other dings and dents he's had over the years.

I was always a big Stafford fan, & after the trade a part of me really wanted to see him do well.  Now I hope they just keep losing.

97.1 had an interesting stats nugget last night right before the Pistons game.  in LA last year Goff was 4-2 with a 91 QBR against winning teams.  This year Stafford is 2-4 with an 89 QBR against winning teams.   If they don't make a deep run in the playoffs...I could see the Rams imploding this offseason

[Motown Bombers]

The Rams won a playoff game with Goff last year. If they don't win at least one this year, the offseason could get ugly. When does McVay's seat get hot? 

[Motown Bombers]

Stafford had a great game on the road against the team with the best record in the NFL and won.
