Welcome to part of my take today is friday December 22nd and pft I do not want to watch Derrick car play football anymore. No, no, I don't. They were fun last week against the giants. I don't know if that was just the giant factor or if that was just them finding something that they'll never regain again, but yeah, they're bipolar. They're depressing and then they're fun for a little bit and then they're back to being depressing again, get the Saints off my TV. On the other side though, I think we can say that the Rams are legit. They're a good team. I told you, I believe it was right before they played the Cardinals. I think three wins at the time. Take the over on the Rams season total seven and a half. Biggest bet of the year for me paid off tonight. Very happy about that. They, I'm going to say this, the Rams, I think they're officially dangerous. That's what they are. They're dangerous. That's Stafford playing great ball. I'm getting closer and closer to PFT to also just going down like all the receipts of the Matt Stafford Hall of Fame. Because remember we discussed it in 2018, I think. And I've been long saying like Matt Stafford is going to have all the stats. He's been in the league for so long. He's been really good for so long. He's got the Super Bowl. Matt Stafford is a Hall of Famer. And watching him play football is fun. Like his, the throws he makes and it, it doesn't feel like it's gratuitous. It's like he's making some of these throws because he has to make these throws and Pukin and Koo is awesome. Rams defense playing well. They are, I'm putting it tag him. Maybe make a graphic for me means Rams officially dangerous. Like they, outside of maybe the 49ers, like is there any other team in the NFC, you would be shocked if the Rams beat in the playoffs? No, not really. I shouldn't be. It would obviously be an upset for some of these teams. If they beat the Cowboys, I might be shocked just because of what happened earlier this season, where they were down like 33 to three after, it seemed like the first quarter. But besides the Cowboys and the Niners, no. I think it could definitely be any team in the playoffs. Can I say something that's, that I think there's probably a certain sect of our fan base that is listening right now, that has played this out in their head? That Stafford, going to Detroit, Lions first home playoff game. Yeah, it would be brutal. We not want that. I don't want to see that. I don't want that. That's not fun for anybody. But yeah, he is making crazy throws on a weekly basis. Like he threw one out to the numbers from like a standstill. It probably went 30 yards in the air and just whipped it out. He's got like a whip attached to his shoulder. He's fun to watch. And I don't know, like, I felt like Matt Stafford, the discussion around him was that he was getting old when he was like tailing off his career. His last two seasons with the lions. And no, he's, I think he's always just had that same arm that arm never goes away. It's just a matter of putting pieces around him in the rams of the, I'd say, you know

what?

I think both teams won that trade.

Well, the discourse on Matt Saford, like when he was, you know, last two after the

Super Bowl was fair because a back injury, like who the fuck knows, you know, that's

wasn't that what he had back.

And it was arm. His arm got fucked, right?

I forget exactly. I thought he had a back. He did have a back.

He did have a back at one point. Yes. He had a back.

And I'm pretty sure he had arm, maybe even two arms. Yeah.

He had a spinal contusion. That's always a scary thing.

The discourse was Will Matt Stafford retire.

Right. And he's gonna walk away.

And he looks like he's having fun.

He's ballin'.

The Rams are dangerous. I would like to hear from Lions fans. You can just tweet us and just maybe say like, yeah, I've thought about it. That's all you have to say. We don't have to actually address it, but I'm looking at it right now. And it's not an unreasonable, like the ram sneaking into the six spot. They're tied right now with the Vikings.

They'll technically be in the six spot. They're tied right now with the Vikings.

They'll technically be in the six spot after this game goes final. And the Lions are in the three spot. That's going to be a very weird spot for Matt Stafford to going back to Detroit and playing against them in a playoff game. It's going to be it's going to be weird for everybody. I'm going to feel just uncomfortable watching that I think that would be the meanest,est thing to happen to lions like of all the things that would be the meanest thing. I don't want that to happen. We've talked about the lions and how in the past they've invented new ways to lose whether that be like making a catch in the end zone that's somehow not a catch or fumbling a ball through the end zone or having the NFL record long fuel goal kicked against that bounces off the cross bar and goes in. And it felt like they've they've checked all the boxes for the most heartbreaking ways to lose. This would be the final stone in the affinity gauntlet if it was Matt Stafford coming to Detroit and beating them. So that being said, it does feel like something that's probably going to happen. Yeah. We also need to talk about the fact that Dennis Allen might be the worst coach of all time. And that's not being facetious. That's not being like hyperbolic. That is, if you look at the stats, I think he is somewhere around the seventh to tenth worst coach record wise. That end of half when he decided to go for it on the 42 with a minute left and they're down 10 or no, they're down three. They were down three. Like I know that, you know, analytics go for it more often. You punt that ball and you stop like the Rams doing like a draw play or a screenplay. The Rams most likely just go into halftime. He just gave them seven points and it was just any and he punted on, I know it was like

a fourth and 13, but he punted on the Rams 37 yard line to start the whole game. Like this guy stinks. He's, he spans deserve better. He's officially a weird shithead in my book. There are very few coaches that reach that, that level. He is a weird shithead. I have no idea what he was thinking was fourth and five. I think if I were to put myself in his shit head brain, I would say that on the third

down... head. I have no idea what he was thinking was fourth and five. I think if I were to put myself in his
