Motown Bombers

Here is the Rams defender going at Laporta's knees. They already know he has a bad knee. The defender also has the sideline. He doesn't need to take Laporta to the ground. This isn't an open field tackle attempt. He just needs to bump him out of bounds. Instead, he dives for the knee.

It's the NFL. You can't go high so what else are you supposed to do? Even Vikings fans didn't cry as much as Rams fans.

Their safety did low hit Laporta but missed.

Seeing the 12 fans the Rams have whine, they are the perfect match for Kelly Stafford.

Rams fans are really whining about that hit by Joseph.

Belichick is having a 2nd interview with Atlanta. They really are going to botch this. They have all that offensive talent and just need to develop a QB and are going to hire a 70 year old defensive coach.

My hot take is when things are all said and done, Goff will be remembered more fondly than Stafford. Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson were all time greats, Stafford was good but not an all time great. It's like the Pistons comp I made earlier. Stafford is Grant Hill. Goff is more like Richard Hamilton. Hill was a superior player talent wise but it's Hamilton's jersey hanging from the rafters.

Guy who plays in Philadelphia lecturing other fanbases on when it's appropriate to boo.

I have the ESPN app on my phone and set up to give me notifications on the scores of all the Detroit teams. It stopped giving me Pistons scores only. Even the app doesn't have the heart to tell me how bad it is.

The optics are bad considering it was Joseph who took out Hockenson and Campbell with the whole kneecap thing.

I can't make out what Stafford is saying to Joseph. Stafford not happy with the hit on Higby.

Plus Cousins or Russell Wilson even on that team and they likely win the division. I do think Atlanta is one of the better jobs.

I want to see a play where they reverse it to Jameson Williams who then throws it downfield to Goff so you have the fastest player on the field throwing it to the slowest player on the field. Goff has the hands for it as demonstrated, but does Williams have the arm?

If I were Atlanta I would try to sign Cousins and draft my future QB. They got talent at receiver and RB and a decent OL. You can plug Cousins in as your bridge and be a contender in that division.

Can't they just move the game to the Meadowlands?

I'm really not surprised. Jerry Jones stuck with Jason Garrett a long time.

I really think Houston can be a difference maker. The Lions lately have too often given up 3rd and ridiculously long conversions. I have to imagine a couple of those may not be converted if you have Houston out there doing nothing but rushing the passer.

Houston sounds like he plans on playing.

Pretty good practice report. Laporta listed as full.

I just realized Goff is the oldest QB remaining in the playoffs. Every QB is under 30.
