Interesting point, if this game had been lost in some heartbreaking fashion that involved Darnold I'm confident you'd have Ernest Jones telling us to fuck off again.Michael K. wrote: ↑Mon Feb 09, 2026 9:39 pmThe thing I keep going back to is how this team rallied after Sam Darnold basically handed the Rams the Division lead a few short months ago. The team had his back, it was a rallying point. Sure, it's not like throwing a pick at the goal line to lose the Super Bowl that appeared to be won, but you are left to wonder how this team would have reacted to that in comparison? The finger pointing was a problem, the blame game. The thing I always went back to is the LOB acting like that play lost the Ring. That play never happens if you don't give up back to back Touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Mon Feb 09, 2026 8:59 pm
Do you see this group of players differently than those from the 2013 team? I guess that team probably had too many "individuals" and "strong personalities" to survive some adversity. Hope this group is different. At least Darnold isn't likely to marry a pop star and go into full weirdo mode.
I feel this team? Darnold would be taking the blame, and the defense probably wouldn't stand for it. But? No way to really know I guess.
The Rams game was a turning point for me too, as a fan. I wasn't even all that mad after that game. It took four picks inside our own territory and the luckiest punt bounce I've ever seen to beat us. And? Instead of throwing around blame? These guys rallied.
You'll like this, I think he has a point, and I love it! The Rams balled and still lost. In my mind the season turned on the comeback victory second game. That was a remarkable event. And next season the rivalry is just getting more intense
"I think the L.A. Rams wake up this morning absolutely sick," Shrager said on ESPN's First Take. "They put up 457 yards on that Seahawks defense in Week 16, they put up 581 yards in the NFC Championship.
"If you're Matthew Stafford, if you're Sean McVay, you wake up this morning absolutely ill, having watched that team do what they did to the Patriots and say, how did we not play in that game? I think the Rams are the team with the greatest regret right now."
