L.A. Rams News: Playoffs’ eve

Happy and Merry Christmas Eve! If you do not celebrate Christmas that is alright, welcome to the Turf Show Times. We are on the eve of the NFL playoffs; the table is getting set. The Los Angeles Rams are in, so are a number of teams. Much is still to be determined. It’s a wild […]

Survey: How confident are Rams fans? Week 17

The Rams fell from the 1-seed to the 5-seed after losing to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, and L.A.’s drop may not stop there. Or the Rams could end up back in first place and earn a bye week. There’s a wide array of possibilities open now and a few things were clear last week: […]

How DK Metcalf’s suspension could lead him to Rams

If DK Metcalf becomes a surprise free agent in 2026, the Los Angeles Rams might want to kick the tires on him as an heir apparent to Davante Adams and somebody who might thrive, as other receivers have, with Matthew Stafford. How could this even be possible just a year after the Pittsburgh Steelers traded […]

Do Rams have a leadership problem?

The Los Angeles Rams have been in the media in a negative way more recently than fans have grown accustomed to in the Sean McVay era. Last week, wide receiver Puka Nacua got into trouble after appearing on a controversial podcast and attempting to bring the hosts into the facility on a short week. On […]

Rams-Falcons matchups: Who has the advantage on the field?

The Los Angeles Rams had a six-game winning streak prior to their loss to the Seattle Seahawks last Thursday and they will need another six-game winning streak if they want to win the Super Bowl. That starts on Monday against the Atlanta Falcons and one area that L.A. will be looking to exploit is their […]

Week 17 NFL picks: Will Rams get help in NFC seeding?

Two weeks remain for the NFL regular season. The Los Angeles Rams have already clinched a playoff berth but saw their chances of landing the NFC’s #1 seed drop dramatically following their loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Now in order to regain their top spot in the conference, they must win […]

Airing my grievances towards the 2025 Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are in the playoffs for the third straight year and are fighting for the NFC’s top seed with two games to go. There are plenty of things to be grateful for this season, but in the true spirit of Festivus, it is time for the airing of grievances. Serenity now! Serenity […]

Rams possibly traded away the defensive rookie of the year

Nearly every NFL media consumer felt the Los Angeles Rams fleeced the Atlanta Falcons earlier this year during the 2025 draft. Atlanta sent LA their 2026 first-round pick in exchange for the opportunity to select Tennessee EDGE James Pearce 26th overall. While the Falcons felt confident in their ability to win the NFC South, quarterback […]

L.A. Rams News: Did Phillip Rivers do what you wanted?

I am writing this article before the Monday night game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Indianapolis Colts, so who won? Was it who you wanted? Did Phillip Rivers deliver the goods for Indy, or did he deliver the goods for everyone rooting against the Colts? Well, maybe the Colts lost, but it wasn’t […]

49ers can knock Rams down a peg tonight

If the San Francisco 49ers beat the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, the Los Angeles Rams will slip from the 5 seed to the 6 seed in the NFC playoff picture. It’s a remarkable turnaround from where these teams were at going into their Week 5 matchup — an overtime win by the 49ers — and […]

A loss to Falcons would be doubly painful

The Atlanta Falcons are on an unfortunate hot streak, winning their last two games and three of the past five. That puts the Falcons at 6-9 going into their Week 17 matchup with the L.A. Rams, meaning that the first round pick going west is now 11th overall. If the Rams lose to the Falcons […]

Rams’ new special teams coach was recently fired over miscues

The Los Angeles Rams fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn over the weekend, the first in-season firing by Sean McVay during his nine seasons with the team. The move was called “overdue” by many fans given L.A.’s many shortcomings on special teams in 2025, but it is merely just a punishment against one person by […]

Rams Film Review: Did McVay figure something out vs. Seahawks?

For the most part, the Los Angeles Rams offense has been unstoppable since the bye week. Out of eight potential games, the Rams have scored 30 or more points in six of them. They have scored more than 40 points on three separate occasions. To put that in perspective, the 1999 Rams scored 40 points […]

A problem the Rams cannot seem to fix

The Los Angeles Rams are on a current three-game stretch of their worst tackling performances on the season, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades and metrics. I flagged this issue ahead of last Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks: While the Rams slightly improved in terms of how many tackles they missed from […]

The Rams’ narrow path to first place in NFC

Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks was a dramatic blow to the Los Angeles Rams. LA is now unlikely to win the NFC West and may need to play three road games in order to reach the Super Bowl. The path just grew much more difficult. There remains a sliver of hope that the […]

L.A. Rams News: Playoff picture is clearing up

Often times, it’s overstated just how “crazy” the NFL season is because they are all crazy, they are all different and unique and unless you know something others don’t, the NFL is nearly impossible to predict. This season has been insane in terms of surprises, upsets and shocks, but at this point, the playoff picture […]

3 things I think about the Rams following loss to Seahawks

The Los Angeles Rams’ recent loss to the Seattle Seahawks is a much bigger deal than most are making it out to be. For a team with Super Bowl expectations, the path to the pinnacle of professional football just grew much more difficult. Let’s assess the fallout of the loss and evaluate where the Rams […]

How Sunday Week 16 schedule impacts Rams

The Rams have already played their Week 16 game, losing to the Seahawks on Thursday. This dropped L.A. to 11-4 and a wild card position going into next week’s game against the Falcons. How does the Sunday schedule impact the Rams? Bucs at Panthers The winner of this game lands the first blow to determine […]

Rams fire special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn

The Los Angeles Rams have made a shocking in-season coaching change, firing special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams have fired Blackburn following Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Blackburn being fired isn’t necessarily as surprising as the overall timing. While it was somewhat expected that the Rams would […]

Rams can set NFL record next week

It had been nine years since the last time a team had at least 580 total yards and lost, but that’s what the L.A. Rams did on Thursday against the Seahawks in overtime. The Rams had their highest offensive output of the entire Sean McVay era but couldn’t find a way to win when ironically […]

L.A. Rams News: Its only football, ramily

A long time ago, I would watch baseball with my dad and when our team would lose, he would say: “It’s only baseball, son.” So, in light of the Los Angeles Rams loss, I want to say: It’s only football, ramily. The Rams will be back in a bit, and they are going to the […]

Rams on Draft: Players to watch during College Football Playoff

The Los Angeles Rams have clinched a playoff spot, but the NFL draft process is getting started with bowl games already beginning. With over 40 games to be played over the next month, there will be plenty to watch in preparation for the NFL Draft. This list could change with players opting to stay in school or not to play […]

Rams-Seahawks: 5 plays that cost LA the 1 seed

It hurts. It stings. As it should. The Los Angeles Rams (11-4) did not finish all 60 minutes (and then some) and that is why they are now in 5th place in the NFC. Thursday night was another example of Los Angeles still having yet to prove that they can consistently close out games. Ever […]

PFF grades: Poona Ford dominant against former team

Still shocked and stung by the Los Angeles Rams’ 37-38 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football? It might take some time for the wounds to heal. The Rams are in danger of losing the NFC West division race and losing their grip on first place in the NFC conference, though they still […]
