Amen, I'm a huge SOONERS fan and I even get bored watching

Id be curious to know if the average age of an NFL fan has been increasing. Are younger generations not as interested bc of iphone apps etc.

Im 39, when I grew up we played with sticks in the woods, used land line phones and sat on the floor as the adults watched football on Sundays. Grandma would make potato rolls with butter and thin sliced ham. We'd spend all day playing football. 3 kids, 1 is perm QB .. more kids the better.

I dont think football is making its imprint on the younger generation.

But counter that with I imagine fantasy football and weekly betting has made a ton of otherwise disinterested millenials now tuning in hardcore ...

idk .... would be a great senior year thesis in college for some economic and media major.

mred - I rarely get to watch the game live. I dvr it, we run errands and maybe I start watching a 1 pm game at 3 or so ... but I thought if you watch a dvr'd show within 24 hours it counts as live on neilsen ratings?

Garcon is such a beast.

Yes folks, we shut down that Rams offense on the road last week.

Finally an entertaining Thursday night game

From cbssports.com:

Garcon Goes Off

One of the reasons that Brian Hoyer was able to have such a big game is because Pierre Garcon caught any pass that was thrown within 10 yards of him. If Hoyer threw it high, Garcon caught it. If Hoyer threw it low, Garcon caught it. If Hoyer threw an uncatchable pass to the sideline, Garcon caught it. You're probably starting to notice a pattern here.

Garcon also did a good job of keeping the 49ers in the game in the fourth quarter when he caught a 59-yard pass that set up a Trent Taylor touchdown.

When the 49ers made Garcon one of their biggest free agent signings of the offseason, this is definitely what Kyle Shanahan wanted to see, and Garcon came through with a seven-catch, 142-yard performance. Garcon's total is the third-highest receiving total of the 2017 season so far.

Folks, not re-signing Garcon was the FO's biggest failure of the off-season. Kirk needed him.

Love Garçon but I can see why we didn't want to give a 30 year old WR a 5 year $47.5M deal

Exactly, it hurts this year to see him but next season or the following you will see him slow down. The gamble was Josh and TP would step up, to fill his shoes.

Verdicts out.

Mcvay will be COY, and Goff is the real deal.. Fisher was such a shit coach lolol. Look at how much better they are with Sean.

I'll tale a wait and see on thaf lol,

At this point crushing the colts and barwly beating niners doesnt impress me much. But the offense is very talented, they will continue to improve and really could develop into a real threat.

Im staying medium on this one. McVay is a rookie HC, with now 3 game films on him. Id wait to see how the Rams close out the season when opposing coaches have enough film on him to make adjustments, then see how McVay adjusts to the adjustments.

Zorn went 6-2 to start his 1st season, finished on a 2-6 run.

But I do think the Rams have talent in all the right places and McVay can scheme an offense.

Finished on a 6-19 run if you count the next season too. But that was obviously a case of being overmatched, the guy had never been a coordinator before so head coach should've never been an option. There's a good reason all current head coaches have coordinator or college HC experience before they get the gig.

We certainly miss Garcon...big time but that contract he got is insanely poor by the niners.

If we would have signed him for 47.5/5 years...this site would have crashed from criticism.

Ironically, the reason why he got such a big contract was because both the McVay and Shanny Jr. wanted him on their teams.
