The Raiders are a top defense. they beat Baltimore. Yes their offense sucks but their defense is legit. Travis’ criticism while valid to a degree, doesn’t take into account the quality of defense they played.
Dude. Travis is so frickin' negative, WTAF?! I am not looking to have smoke blown up my a** but come on bro. His O line is still decimated, and his targets are hot garbage and you act surprised that Stafford wasn't setting records out there. The Offensive line is like a steel chain when it works. We have 3 wooden links in that chain and it shows. We are going to be getting healthier and better every week. I mean, the Ravens lost at home to the Raiders so by your logic the Ravens are the worst team in the NFL. 😂
Sometimes I question whether I'm watching the same games as you guys (cough, Travis) after watching this show. Stafford had his worst game this year ,and possibly as a Ram, against the Raiders, yes. But he's been one of the few bright spots on a struggling injured team this year. He was excellent against the Lions, Niners, and Bears, and I think he was solid against the Cardinals and Packers too when taking all context into account. Aside from the Raiders game, the Rams have consistently moved the ball better than most teams in the league this season. The red zone has been the issue, which yes, Stafford could be doing better in, but I think he's probably the least of their problems compared to the offensive line, play calling, and pass catchers he's working with. Stafford is playing just about as well as he can under these circumstances and he will start to ball out once he gets some help back even if it's too little too late. Also, been wanting to say this for a couple of years so I'll do it now. Travis's takes on Tutu should get him removed as a co-host. Tutu has consistently been a productive and efficient player in just about every game he's started in for the Rams and Travis will pretend that's not the case because he's so biased against him. Yes, he gave him his flowers against the 49ers, but since then he's still been the Rams leading receiver and Travis has done nothing but continue to shit on him. Guy comes on here acting like the voice of reason but is completely divorced from reality. Ok I'm done 😅 really appreciate you tho, Doug!
I rather they get Atwell more snaps first .. Robinson was almost a non factor till the 2 tds Atwell got more separation than Robinson on his opportunities.
Look Raiders beat the Ravens, and I guess Travis think the ravens are the worst team..... WTF? Raiders have a great defense, Crosby was not a huge deal on Sunday. OL took care of business. Stafford didn't play good but Complimentary Football means everyone has your back. Defense stood up. That what a TEAM is. (Travis)
I could not believe the raiders kicking a field goal down by 8 with so little time left. oh boy! now were only down by 5 and still need a td with the rams having a chance to kill the clock. I'd love to read the raiders media about that decision.
Matthew had 3 to 4 games and everyone is calling him a stud. He has a bad game which he should have been happening from the start with 2 to 3 starters on the line , and now we trade him.I Do not get it. Now if the rams have all starters back and he plays like this then trade him.
I get Travis needs to undermine the win so he can continue to absolutely shit on the Rams, but to call the raiders the worst team in the league? You're really taking the panthers, browns, patriots over them? Did the offense play bad, absolutely. But how about you stop trying to actively make the fans give up on the team while we still have an inkling of hope. It's beyond being a realist, it's straight pessimistic.
Yes I think he puts his offense behind the chains too much. They often get a chunk play then he gets pass happy and Stafford gets sacked for a negative play and they are behind the chains again.
What is with Reeder and Bloom as starting Lbers? They stink. Thought the reason Jones was allowed to leave was because of the play of the rookie Lbers? Man what a blunder
If only all of our remaining opponents could start Gardner Minshew at QB, then yes, we'd still have an outside shot at making the playoffs. Also, certainly no guarantee that all or even any of our key IR players will come back at 100 percent after missing the preseason and/or half the regular season. Sorry fanboys, but Travis just telling it like it is.
yah what happens if the defense ends up being great, but stafford is done for? they have nothing at qb and will have to look for one in the draft. they can run it now finally, they have recievers, a great defense but if stafford goes down, then what?
McVay HAS to stop using that semi-draw handoff in the running game !!! It lets the D ALWAYS blitz/shoot the gaps to stop BOTH the passing and rushing games !!!
This was a weird game, every time they got the turnover, they just scored touchdowns, no settling for field goals, yet on offense they couldn't convert a 3rd down. I have watched gardner minshew since his cougar days and was waiting for him to get actual starts. He didn't do well this year and in this game he had another chance. He failed miserably. What in the hell were the raiders thinking? 14 million guaranteed? Just about the ONLY thing he can do is throw 3-7 yard passes, he throws pics, under throws, overthrows etc. Sad to say cause he was a real leader but he's just not good enough for the NFL
is there a chance they can do this? I hope so, for gods sake, they won't even use throwbacks like everybody else, I think because everybody would love them too much and make them look stupid for those broken horns and gradient numbers
They need to win nine games they have to win 11 games seattle keeps winning games you're not supposed to win so that means they could beat the rams as crazy is that seems they have to win nine more games not 7 i have to win nine
He forced the ball to kupp in that lions playoff game in the end zone and it was clear kupp wasn’t healthy or playing good. It’s in stafford nature to over do it with him. Clearly this team has some talent on offense besides kupp and nacua but he has to use them all respectfully
With the Kupp trade rumor going around, I can see them forcing the ball to him so they can showcase how healthy he is right now. Let’s hope neither happens.
@@zaratekid4 our season is on the line as well as his trade value. They have to let him shine either way in my opinion. If it is his last game as a ram, let it be all time level 🙌🏼 I hope they keep him and give it another run
Raiders have a good defense! The O line is still not great! Will Vikings load the box? How good is Vikings pass rush compared to other defenses the Rams have faced this year? I need to look at the defense rankings for Vikings before saying anything else. Rams need to get ball out quick and it opposing defenses have good linebackers taking away the short quick stuff, Stanford will have a harder time! How good are Viking linebackers compared to other defenses the Rams have faced? Again, I need to go look!
Raiders D really have not been playing well and Crosby has not been himself all season. Vikings have an extremely disruptive pass rush under Brian Flores, especially when they’re playing with the lead or the other team is super pass heavy. It’s not just the pass rush but the way they disguise and fake blitzes so well. Rams defense is going to be a huge factor because if Vikings jump off to a fast start it’s going to be a lot harder for Rams to mount a comeback.
Travis, be more positive about the team. Stafford didn’t have a good game because he didn’t have Kupp, Nacua, or Whittington. Passing game wasn’t there and having two rookies on the OL won’t guarantee too much protection. Also, Xavier Smith on the end of route play was great. Just watch and see once they get the main key guys back. Also, did you say breast while announcing the sponsor? Lol
Raiders Fans were really cool. Back in the day it was crazy.... today not so bad. I had fun with Raider fans. Shoot, my kids are raider fans... LOL. Good times
I think it's time to checkout our backup quarterbacks to see what they can do, Stafford has been having a tough time lately, hopefully he plays better against the vikings . GO RAMS!!
Want to win? Put in Stetson he won every game he started in college but 2 out of 30 games winning back 2 back National championship titles!!!he won both preseason games he played this year!!
Seeing our offense at times struggle to secure 1st downs after getting a 2nd short is wild. I get it that we don’t have our starters, but McVay has gotten away from creative plays and scheming guys open. Remember when we would have amazing spacing and movement that bewildered defenses? I’m just a fan I get it, but there’s something to be said for how stale the play design has gotten.
@@micloTheDon he needs to swallow his pride and get a REAL Offensive Coordinator to make the play calls. He's setting this offense up for failure every time he gets on that ear piece!
@@Johnny_Chingas13 I mean he’s an offensive genius, I just don’t know where it all went. Like others on here have said, it looks like he gets tunnel vision in games and defenses see it. A couple of those runs against the raiders were so blown up you would think the raiders straight up knew the play call.
@@micloTheDon I wouldn't call him an offensive genius but in years past he definitely had more variety in his plays. Now it seems he's hyper focused on passing the ball and that makes it ez for opponents to play defense against them. I don't see him changing anytime soon honestly.
Stafford is playing with WR3+ of course he isn’t going to look great. Look at mahomes this season. And behind a bang up O-Line, we gotta give him and McVay a break they can’t run and call the plays we normally want.
Stafford looks hurt u think. Some of his injuries won’t be said to the public until way after like his Super Bowl winning year where they said he was dealing with injuries after they won it all. I think with the amount of sacks he has taken and how old he is, something happened along the way.
Travis could be done. He is really a baseball guy. His ability to judge talent really sucks. He has virtually no memory of just as recent as the 9’ers game bomb to Tutu. Find a real football guy. Jake Ellenboghan would be a better choice.
@@parisbeech2180 I'm 73 and probably don't need to grow up. And Travis's takes to me are super annoying and I'd love to have someone with a more optimistic attitude.
@@parisbeech2180 Grow up ? 🤣. Well said by a guy that is giving himself thumbs up. What does not wanting to hear a doubting Thomas and Chicken Little the sky is falling person talk about football?
Travis does not keep it real. He just bitter towards the Rams. Id honestly say he is 49er fan, just happens to work for the Rams. Rams have 11 more opportunities for wins, they have one more loss than the 1st place team... that's how to be objective. Stick to the facts. Travis really makes this hard to watch...stfu and go away please, respectfully travis
Been screaming it! He is bland and predictable! Honestly been like that for a while. Even the Superbowl season, he was riding all time great duo in kupp and Stafford. He wasn't dialing up plays to get kupp open, kupp just got open. He is terrible at making big decisions and burns timeouts for nothing.
Na, he can’t run his normal offense without the starters to execute how he draws it up. He’s not gonna even try to waste time running his best design plays with our back up’s and 3rd string. We need our starters to come back bc our plays are drawn up to our starters strengths. Back up’s get the role they does bc they are good complementary pieces. We haven’t seen his normal playbook and when we did it was against the lions and we were fine.
is stafford afraid to fire it in to wr4,5,and 6?? let's see what the kupp affect amounts to!! thinking game vs vikes is diff between in and out of playoffs no room for quality losses 9 wins likely not to make playoffs unless it wins the NFC west!!
Is Stafford a QB that elevates players around him or just looks good because the other players make him look good 😮? That's the question needing answered.
What was kupp before stafford? How bad was beckham before joining the rams? Demarcus Robinson best play has been with stafford and not mahomes or Lamar Jackson
@fred-s7e Kupp is Kupp, he was on his way with Goff. Only shared targets with Woods. Beckham was often injured former star wanting a ring. Robinson is a fair to good WR who unfortunately played with better WRs.
@@robmarchion6708 kupp was already past his mid twenties and was in his late 20s when he finally broke out with stafford. I doubt you can say without stafford, he would have been great because he would barely pass a 1000 yards consistently. Where was that version of kupp for so many years? I mean he played with Goff after that superbowl and still he wasn’t putting up elite numbers like that. No credibility in saying that.
Travis is my boy. I know a lot of people think he’s ultimately negative, and at times I can see that definitely being true. But I do like the fact that he keeps it real. One thing he’ll never be accused of his being a homer lol.
@@jayrocky9067 it’s true that tutu atwell is trash and shouldn’t be on this team? If it wasn’t for tutu, would’ve scored 10 points against the raider and lost. 7 would be the pick 6.
We can't have an honest conversation until all the injured Rams players return. Let me see, with Stafford with all his weapons back and their injured offensive linemen. Then we will see. Not many quarterbacks in the league can overcome missing five blue-chip players--six blue-chip players if you count Joe Noteboom.
Is Cupp being really being shopped around? I hope not, Puca looked good last year. He has been out this season. That scares me, did we already forget about what happened to Gurley?
Put Stetson in he is a winner,he won 28 of 30 games in His college career winning back to back national titles! He won both preseason games.He played this year, Stetson will find a way to pull out the win, Also, he doesn't just stand in the pocket.And wait to get hit if he has to he will run himself and Score touchdowns and first downs! He really is a remarkable young quarterback!!! The rams just haven't gave him enough Playing time To prove it!!!
Mcvay play calling in redzone has been on and off over the years, if Rams trade kupp better think about Higgins Bengals or Johnson Panthers, Hopkins Titans at trade deadline get rid of Reeder,Rosebloom, sign Devin White LB, play Spieghts, Hummel, Travis cut him lose too
