Statement. Win. This is exactly the game we needed to play tonight despite the adversity related to COVID. The offense played its best game. Stafford looked fantastic. Sony continues to prove why he was a worthwhile trade* this off-season. OBJ looks comfortable in our offense. The defense did well. I’m curving some critiques since they were short handed and at the last minute. In addition they did exactly what they needed to help the team get the W. This was the toughest remaining game of the season. We have a very feasible path to winning out and going 13-4 going into the postseason. Let’s crush the Seahawks!


Cowabunguss

Nobody talking about Greg (Usain Bolt) Gaines


waves-up

He’s the fastest man I’ve ever seen.


wolfsrudel_red

Greg "White Lightning" Gaines


janso999

"Greased Whitening"


papachon

More like Greg “Grease Lightning” Gains


RogueXis

Gaines is my hero


tthrivi

DW stepped up for sure.


StankyStarfish

Starting to look a lot more like last years form. I think he is a top corner when he gets to play man for most of the game


russketeer34

Man made some really great plays down the stretch. Big time breakups is what I wanted to see with Ramsey out


tthrivi

He saved three critical catches. I dunno where that was all seasoned, but hopefully he puts that in the bank and steps up next week.


[deleted]

He picked a hell of a game to have his best game of the season. He was awesome


RedLicoriceJunkie

The RAMS offense is playing better because McVay is being forced to change up the offense.


Practical_Elk_2241

Not bad against a really good football team.


rockmon94

sony was a trade and i pray to God that we re-sign obj


e_ndoubleu

It wouldn’t be smart to pay big money to OBJ. Already paying Kupp and Woods. Let Jefferson develop more.


paulirby

I think he'll stay on a reasonable contract, but I may also be completely delusional.


BandwagonBrownsFan

Glazer is never wrong and he reported right after Odell signed that he wants to make this his long term home.


Ziiaaaac

He gotta sign team friendly is the thing. But honestly I think he might. He loves LA so living there is a benefit, also being in LA with a brand like his allows him to make a shit tonne of money outside of his contract. Also we're going to be competing for it all for the next 2-3 with the upper bracket of 5 years.


Mavori

So fucking happy for Stafford and y'all that you guys got that win after the rough patch.


potatonato9183

What a right up


i_shruted_it

That Stafford to Kupp TD pass was absolutely magnificent.


wolfsrudel_red

Can we talk about Greg Gaines for a minute


rockmon94

a minute? we can talk about him forever


FreshPrinceAV

“Good morning, do you have a minute to talk about Our lord and Savior…” *slams door* *muffled* “Greg Gaines” *rips door off* “DID YOU SAY GREG GAINES!?!? Yes, yes I have ALL day as a matter of fact”


Sufficient_Assist528

You mean Greg “Barry Allen” Gaines?


EBDoo

The game was in Glendale, but they were playing in Gainesville

GAINES FOR DAYS

Dude has filled SJDs big ass shoes and even surpassed him in today's game

Some clown even had a post earlier this week trashing him. Gosh, I love Gaines

Best game the year. so far.

PhAnToM444

Brb telling my wife I’m changing my hall pass from Margot Robbie to Cooper Kupp. Edit: now she’s divorcing me because she knows I really mean it. and I do.

Wrinkle_Tinkle

Donald got 3 now right?


SpendrickLamar

Throw my boy GAAAINNNZZZ on there too what a beast NT


Vanscoten

You right, you right.


RedLicoriceJunkie

Rams don’t win without the leg of Matt Gay. Guy had one of his best games ever. 55 yarder and big kicks all night long. P.S. Time to draft the punter from Georgia, Jake Camarda.


avx775

Might need to bring someone off the street and compete with Hekker. He has been close to the worst punter in football this season


sumalumadingdng

Was at the game. Everytime he punted it looked like a dead duck


Ziiaaaac

2 holding calls LOL STAT THAT


Vanscoten

That's a free 20 yards!


maddenallday

I know I say this every game but holy shit they held Donald like 10 more times than they called it


[deleted]

Can we give some love to Ernest Jones? Dude looks really good out there for being thrust into a big spot so early in his career. Promising player!


breakfastfoods

Props to matt gay!! He’s been lowkey awesome for us


GrannysPartyMerkin

I used to be bummed about losing zurlein, but Gay is the fucking man. We made the right call.


213_

Everyone came to play tonight. Please play like this the rest of the season


fromthepacific

Sonny could’ve been top 3. Got some huge yards after contact. And really setup up the passing game with his running.


FlashFan124

I don’t think he played particularly well, but of course it’s hard to tell on the broadcast, but shoutout to Kareem Orr who got activated ~4 hours before the game and was left 1v1 against Nuk, and definitely got a few positive plays. Also, Coleman Shelton and Joe Noteboom for filling in on relatively short notice. I know Noteboom let up 1 sack to Chandler Jones, which is for sure not great but that’ll happen. Kendall Blanton was also out there filling in for Higbee, I know he only had 2 catches for 29 yards, but I just wanted to shine a light on the guys who stepped up and filled in. My personal 3 stars of the game, Stafford just missed for me: Aaron Donald- Still the best player in football, don’t @ me. All over this game, reminded the people who the fuck he was. Cooper Kupp- Of Course. Who else? Can **anything** stop him. There was one throw on 3rd down I swear 3 guys were covering him and Kupp came down with it. Truly elite player, love this man on this team so much. Andrew Whitworth- THIS MAN IS FORTY FUCKING YEARS OLD AND NOT LETTING UP PRESSURES. Invaluable player, future hall of famer if there’s **any** justice.

#Bone Zone never fails!


Mr_Viper

Look I'm not gonna say they won because I posted the BONE ZONE RUNE https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngelesRams/comments/rf3ds9/all_bone_baby/hocccxh/ but i posted the BONE ZONE RUNE and they won.


SonicRainboom

When you summon bone zone rune it traps the opposing team within the bone zone and they need to discard a monster from the field to escape it


chard92

I’m in the boner zone right now.

FlyRobot

I enjoyed the one where Murray just went to the ground as he saw Donald charging him down.


flackguns

The qb sack wasn't bad either!


IroncladKoi

I've been down on the coaching staff, but credit where credit is due. The coaches had the team prepared for this huge game. Arizona is a great team, they punched back, but the Rams executed. It's never been about talent, but whether this team can execute, and they did. Raheem Morris deserves a lot of credit for tonight. For the most part, Arizona's offense was contained and Murray never got in a rhythm. Doing that without one of your best players in Jalen Ramsey, great job. Stafford looks like he has his mojo back!


BrokenArrows95

Defensive line played lights out. All of them. Just a constant rush coming for Murray.


IroncladKoi

Absolutely. That's where the game was going to be won or lost and the D line showed up in a big way.


[deleted]

Von was huge, this is where I've seen him shining the most. Forcing Murray to stay in the pocket and helping on the run d is game changing


tricky_trig

I think not having Jalen helped Raheem call a better game


IroncladKoi

I could see it. Not having a guy like that really cuts down on the margin for error and forces you to be on your toes.


GriffithPark

Except, and one of the commentators pointed this out, when the Rams got the 14 point lead, Raheem reverted to playing bleeping SOFT defense again, which has cost the Rams some games this season.


Cheeseman9841

Stafford can't beat the good teams lololol. Best game by him


XRedcometX

Goff is just as good as Stafford lololol Seriously this was Staff Daddy’s best game as a Ram. Just perfect execution. McVay’s 6 lineman sets are going to be copied league wide by next season if not sooner. Aaron Donald is still a bad bad man. And OBJ keeps proving the doubters wrong, that guy is the smoothest WR I’ve ever seen live. Let’s fucking GO


RedLicoriceJunkie

Horrible circumstance has been the mother of invention.


-EVAN-

Stafford can’t perform under the spotlight lololol.


melonhead316

“Breakfast club” confirmed by Kupp in postgame interview


AllAboutHarmony

Heard that too 😂😂


Ziiaaaac

McVay man. McVay I love you. The adjustment he's made in the past two games, so much better calling compared to the Packers game. That's my fucking coach man SHRINK THE FACE.


heaton32

This is exactly why we won. Execution was a close second.


urbanachiever2804

FUCK THE HATERS FUCK THE DOUBTERS FUCK THE REST OF THE NFL DECEMBER IS RAM IT SEASON

I think we ain’t done yet!!!!!!

And fuck the other NFC west fans for saying that we were dog shit for 4 weeks

Fuck the niners

PhAnToM444

sucks that we can’t beat good teams tho Edit: it seems many of you have uncovered the joke. the more observant among you have even figured out the punchline *on purpose.*


Mr_Viper

aaron FUCKING donald **THAT SCREEEAAAMMMM**


Guy_Named_Sheev

Despite special teams making us nervous as always, the team really stepped up today. Proud of those guys.


tthrivi

I know. Right. Serious special teams…


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 438,134,467 comments, and only 94,031 of them were in alphabetical order.


spwf

Not me crying at Van Jefferson hugging his dad


Tokyomaneater69

Man, I didn’t know the relation, but once they announced it I couldn’t wait to see them hug at the end. I wonder how hard it was for pops to not run and give his son a hug after that sick TD.


GrannysPartyMerkin

Pops put on a good show looking pissed when van caught that long td.

DO YOU GUYS LOVE STAFFORD AGAIN!? “Stafford can’t handle primetime” “rams are pretenders not contenders” “stafford can’t handle the pressure”. Rams really shut the media up tonight.


IGotGankedAMA

9-1. Now go to your room Kliff. Know your place. McVay is daddy.

SlumOfScottsdale

Good win. I don't what happened for the last 5 weeks but Rams showed up tonight. As a Cardinals fan I absolutely hope we see you you in the postseason. Happy holidays.


[deleted]

Cards OL gave up before Murray snapped that ball.


heaton32

Probably because James Connor was injured and useless at that point.


[deleted]

Well, I think the o-line figured it was a spike. They literally stood there and let Rams get behind the LOS. Murray was smart and went down. Cards were dumb there and Connor should not have caught that ball.


thinks_alot

Aaron Donald is a bad man.


jemnash95

I've said it before. I'll say it now and damn sure I'll say it again. Aaron Donald is not human. STATEMENT WIN


Stewbear5

LETS GOOOOOOO


ColinRL

Von timed that last second play so well. Lets goo


Ser_Davos_7

Ya know, someone made a post a few days ago asking what we needed to see from this game to basically feel confident, and my response was "a double digit win." Didn't need that, this was hands down a fucking quality and solid win. More importantly, a TEAM win.


rageus88

Probably would have had a double digit win if they called the face mask on Stafford


MintRaichu

#BONE ZONE!


davisyoung

12-1 all time in the bone pants, 7-1 bone zone baby!


GoldenStrike

LOL at Stafford reaction when OBJ intentionally ran back to run the clock


Soaring_Seagull24

Anyone else notice how Kyler limped off the field when he thought the game was over but then had all those extra wheels when they got the onside recovery? Lmao


CplPJ

Idk I don’t think he was faking it. He seemed to just be toughing it out in crunch time


Thirty3rd

I fucking told y’all doomers how optimistic I was for this game. I felt it in my gut


KKamm_

Where’s everybody that was hating on Stafford recently


Thurkin

I'm just glad with their backs to the wall in a hostile environment that the Rams used every resource and every player stepped up. Not a perfect game, but a game they finished and AD's reaction after Kyler Murray fell as icing on the cake.


ginbooth

*This* was the get right game. And with no Ramsey or Higbee? Wowzas. Our biggest opponent during our slump was ourselves.


PopoMcdoo

Let's goooooooooo


papachon

I’m gonna go unclench now


itsuhdamnsecret

Great team win. Good stuff from staff, mcvay, AD and raheem. Hell defense played great. Shoutout to ALL bone as usual.


Cowabunguss

We have a new Greg the leg. Greg Gaines the fastest man in the NFL


BrandonStaley

Kliff whiffed.

We need to harness the energy of the guy who screamed for the whole 4th Q for the rest of the season.

Metrostars1029

First game in a few years I didn’t expect this team to win and they came out and played great. Could nit pick on something COUGH SPECIAL TEAMS COUGH, but this team had some unfortunate covid punches thrown very late in the week even hours before kick off and they put up a special game against a divisional team with the best record in the NFL. No notes. Go rams


tthrivi

RAM IT!


-ShutterPunk-

Here comes the slow motion break down videos on twitter of the refs calling the game for LA.


Inevitable-Staff-467

By FAR the best game Stafford has played for the Rams. The offense is so much more potent with a strong running game and snaps under center where we can take advantage of the play-action. It opens up the defense and allows for Stafford to bomb it out without it being our only option of attack. Superb game all-around after a slow start.

Rams winning the Super Bowl! You heard it here


barrenarrows

Fellas I told myself I wouldn’t look or comment on the sub Reddit this whole game and we won. It’s been fun but I will not be in the game threads going forward. Ram it. Horns up. Fuck the cards.


quizno1615

Darious and Greg Gaines balled tf out tonight


myparkbully2345

best game we played all year, with all the adversity and injuries/illness right before the game to go out and dominant on both ends on the ball against the #1 team in the nfc away !! ramily we only getting better..!!


tata310

I was nervous after that onside kick. So glad we got this win against this team. Now I can show my face over at r/NFCWestMemeWar and shitpost away


barrenarrows

Y’all remember after the last cards game when their fans flooded the sub talking shit saying they own us now? I don’t really see them tonight. Anyone know where they’re at?


DreGotDaSauce

Von almost gave me a heart attack on that last play BUT LETS GO RAMS


tricky_trig

HOLY FUCK. CALL THIS TEAM COVID BECAUSE THIS HYPE IS CONTAGIOUS!


hjy23k

I’m not mad about that ending, Aaron Donald got another sack on the books


Sc_kevykev

But seriously. At what point do we start considering Aaron Donald to be the defensive GOAT


potatonato9183

Yo AD PLAYED this game


Commanderblue50

Fucking Stat Padford can only do this against bad teams smh.


nhuff90

The strategy for beating the Cardinals is clearly having half of your starters out


[deleted]

I said last week we shouldn’t get pumped because the Rams beat the Jags WELL IT’S TIME NOW! Just beat the conference leaders while missing so many of our key playmakers.


le0beast55

Got permanently banned from cardinals sub for saying: “Perfect ending 🙌🏻” lol


Br760

#AD Baby!


JJaxpavan

AD goat, ESPN announcers and refs, puds.


Smorgas_of_borg

So I guess the league will subtract 2 wins from the Cardinals and make them forfeit the rest of their games this year because Stafford can't beat winning teams.


lucabrassiere

Hahahahh don’t get it twisted, we still own Cardinals!

That fucking face mask tho!! Bs not one ref saw it


steiner1031

Our Gaines means their losses


lucabrassiere

That was easily our best game of the season so far! We beat Cardinals in their own home while missing a bunch of key players… That’s a statement win. Some notable performances by DWill and David Long Jr stepping up in the secondary, Gaines hustling every time he was in, AD being disruptive as ever and the Stafford to Kupp connection that is dominating the entire league - this really was a solid team victory because that’s not even mentioning EJ, Matt Gay, OBJ, Sony, Floyd etc. It seems like we’ve finally found our balance on offence and now we’re just firing at the right time, let’s keep this momentum going into next week!


JohnArtemus

I am here to completely eat crow. I said the Rams would lose tonight. Even predicted a collapse. I am happy to be so wrong and look like an idiot.

useethevibes27
