For the record, I do think McCarthy is a good coach. He's not a great coach though and he gets outwitted when it matters, but if you just want a guy to raise your team's floor, he'll get the job done.
This is 100% correct. He would honestly do good things with Caleb, and likely make Chicago a better team in general. But there is a definite ceiling there imo. I think he ends up a finalist for the job, but my preference would be Ben Johnson or Monken before him.

And you'll probably have to beat at least one of them to win a Super Bowl, so if you think you're good enough to compete for one, McCarthy probably can't get you there.

I said this to my dad yesterday when we were talking about how LaFleur shits a brick in the playoffs just the same as McCarthy usually did.

Rams had two receivers wide open 10+ yards downfield on the first play of the game.

And then we have the 1st down play with a pass 6 yards behind the line of scrimmage that gets blown up and almost kills the drive

I feel like we've been here before have we been here before.

(GJ Vikings)

I had the Rams beating the Vikings and the Lions and losing to the Eagles but I guess we just skip the part where they beat the Lions and just go lose to the Eagles.

I feel like this game was an incredibly dumb personal foul from getting out of hand early, but holding to a FG and a good drive here make this feel like it might be competitive!

That was unquestionably a pass. The lack of grounding is questionable though.

I think that no-call for intentional grounding - and perhaps their bias thinking that should've been a fumble (we see things in a light that favors us) - has lit a fire under the Vikings. This game might end up being fun.

Also, forgot to say: The Cardinals owner hosting this game in AZ and providing the Rams the transportation to get there is extremely classy.

Yeah I didn't see if there was a receiver "in the area" but I mean his head was literally looking at his chest so that feels like it should be something you consider grounding.

It also looked like that guy got thrown into the kicker so maybe we just call it even haha.

I think the Rams just match up well against the Vikings. This game earlier in the year is where they turned their season around.

How did that punt not get blocked, also

I stand by that above comment even though the first fumble was overturned.

So much for thinking the Viqueens were gonna rebound and win this game easily.... but... they're queening it up on offense.

What the Vikings offense has looked like so far is possibly worse than it looked against the Lions and it's why I took the Rams with a fair amount of confidence.

Darnold can't big game offense. They'd be fools to give him a big contract.

90% of why The Darnold became The Darnold this year was that he finally had a really good O-line to protect him. If they give him a big contract, he won't be able to maintain that kind of protection.

But regardless, I admit my folly in my thinking lol

Well the issue last week looked like Vikings offense was so awful that their defense was absolutely gassed by the end of the game which is where the Lions scored all their points. We may not have that issue this week though because the game will be out of hand well before that!

Once I saw them going for it there I thought three things.

They're desperate, they're going to fail, and they're going to give up a short field TD.

Also my brother was 5-0 entering this game but on the Vikings, so at least I get a game back on him!
