Lost in it all was / is Kupp - Finishes the season with 1,947 yards and the triple crown.

They had a golden opportunity to get the #2 seed and play at least the first two playoff games at SoFi stadium. They really blew it.

Silver lining is that no Niners for the first two rounds. As crazy as it sounds, I'd rather play the Packers (on the road) in round two over the Niners. NFC championship game is really, really far from a lock right now, but I sure as hell know the Niners aren't getting there.

I still don't like how McVay let up and didn't go for that 1st down late in the 4th. You get that, and it's game.

This team may be 12-5, but as far as chemistry goes, its probably one of the weaker Rams teams going into the playoffs. They are stacked on talent, but I don't see the type of cohesiveness that was present even on some of those Goff Rams teams.

The Rams will host Arizona in the Monday night wild card game next week. That will mean one less day of rest if they advance, although I suppose that teams get 6 days between games in the playoffs all the time between the wild card and divisional rounds.

It doesn't really surprise me...remember when they played at the Coliseum and you could see there were more probably more 49ers jerseys in the grandstands than Rams jerseys.

Thank God I skipped attending the game.

Stafford is who we thought he was and who he's been for 13 years...a loser.

Our OLine got bent over again.

Defense played soft as baby crap. No tackling...and Morris's soft ass coverage is pathetic. Guys 20 yards off the LOS. He needs to go.

McVay can't get out of his own way with his play calls. No killer instinct.

Eff these guys. Maybe we should have drafted a CB or Olineman instead of a 120 pound WR. Lmao. Same mistakes over and over.

Maybe if the team didn't play like chumps and get bent over year after year, the 9er fans would stop showing up in droves.

This team is loaded with talent but they have shown they can check out no matter who they play. Would not surprise me if they lose in the 1st round or if they advance all the way to the Super Bowl.

This is why teams like rams and chargers may be in the 2nd biggest market in the country and spanking new stadium, buy their fans are not as royal and avid as Green Bay, steeler, cowboys and raider fans. You don’t see as many opposition fans in their stadiums ever.

I'm still mad we lost but we did win the NFC West which is arguably the best division in football.

Not being the Niners I think show we are not ready for a deep playoff run. Playing AZ next Monday, probably 50-50 on that game. Funny thing is, if it all plays out, we would get Green Bay next, and our chances might be slightly better, even with Aaron Rodgers.

The NFL created this situation by letting the Rams and Raiders move out of town and created a vacuum of fandom. NFL fans who wanted to root for an NFL team in LA instead latched onto another team and stayed loyal to that fanbase despite the fact that the Rams and Chargers moved to LA after 20+ years of no professional football in LA. I would venture that the Raiders fans who became fans of the team during their brief tenure in LA never gave up their fandom as evidenced when the team comes to LA and it basically looks like the black hole.

I expect there will be a fair amount of Arizona fans in attendance on Monday night. Probably not as much as the 49ers.

Players complaining about the opposing fans at SoFi need to look in the mirror, if they didn't continually get bent over by the 9ers, the fans wouldn't be showing up in droves.

Prepare for the same kind of turnout next season, too. Learn to grow a pair and not get punked in your own stadium.

Theres a reason why most people that are LA natives show up for Lakers and Dodger games but don't do the same for a local NFL team. Last time I remember the NBA or MLB didn't threaten to move the team out of the city. The NFL is still paying for those moves in 2022 despite the fact that the Rams have been back in LA since 2016 and playing in a new stadium. Its going to take decades for them to earn the trust back. They lost 2 decades of trust and building a local fanbase so don't expect it to be done overnight.

Tickets hella cheap for a playoff game against the Cards.

Me and the boyz got tickets in the 300 level for $130 each. Well below face value.

500 level is around 80 bucks and well worth it. The prices are an absolute steal.

In theory the Rams should work a banged up and fading Cardinals team, but I admit to some concern.

Sean McVay said Rams S Jordan Fuller may need ankle surgery and will miss the remainder of the season.

CB Darious Williams has a shoulder injury that's being evaluated.

S Taylor Rapp is in concussion protocol and being evaluated.

Circling the retirement homes for reinforcements before the playoffs begin is a bad sign.
