Game Thread: Los Angeles Rams @ SF 49ers, 09/12/16, 10:20pm EST, 2016

From the looks of all the arguments going on, many of you are ready for some season-opener football! Maybe a few forearm shivers out in your garages may help. The Rams travel to San Francisco Monday night at 10:20pm EST to take on the Forty-Niners and we will see if Kaepernick still sits for the National Anthem. The game is with our friends at ESPN.

Lots to watch here. Will our offense finally get going? How rusty is Gurley going to be? Will GRob finally turn the corner? How is this 4-7 D going to look? Will we come away with a win? Unfortunately, because of work, I doubt if I'll be able to catch any of this. I obviously also will not be doing any post-game analysis for this one. Perhaps someone else can step up. I'll be seeing all of you later in the week. Go Rams!

can't wait

I just hope Chip doesn't run the ball on our 4-2-5 defense

 

[Red_Chaos]

i was kind of hoping kap would start so the d line would crush him...

 

[Vitamike]

Well, since it's MNF, I will probably be out with some Rams friends and wont be on line with y'all.

I hope the Odds makers have this right as the Rams are the rare road favorite!

Have fun Rams fans!

So far, three inactives (Spruce, Cooper, Gaines). Haverstein and Hager are questionable.

 

[jvett77]

I get the feeling that most Rams fans (except those in STL) are happy to see the team back in LA.

 

[Rambunctious]

Gaines is out again? What happened to him this time?

 

[Red_Chaos]

Reports stating that Gaines is dealing with a thigh injury

4-7? What is this 4- 7 Defense you speak of? 4 DL and 7 DBs? I did forget we only have 1 decent LB.

 

[Retroram52]

It's really a 4-2-5 alignment but with only one big LB and the rest cross-over DBs, it is known as a 4-7 and Williams is the apparent architect!

The Rams will be gunning for Gabbert. The Rams totaled 41 sacks last season but did so without Quinn for half the season. Gabbert, was sacked 25 times in eight games last year. I would be concerned if I were him.
With Aaron Donald, Quinn, William Hayes, Michael Brockers and Dominique Easley all coming after Gabbert, he could be in for one very frustrating night.
Also the 9ers have even more problems at the WR position than the Rams. Could be a long night for the 9ers offense. I'm keeping the faith until no longer able.....

 

[Rambunctious]

less than 2 hours till kickoff!

 

[Red_Chaos]

yesh, this game is super late

 

[Battlelyon]

I have to be up 430 in the morning, I hate that this game starts so late.

I have to be up 430 in the morning, I hate that this game starts so late.

I usually do have to be at work at about 6:30-7am tmrw, but was able to put it off until about 9:30-10am to watch the game, whew lol

 

[Rambunctious]

Yeah I don't like the late start.

 

[Red_Chaos]

ITS STARTING

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Berman with the coverage tonight. Please let him slip up and go on a profanity filled rant sometime tonight.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Well, here we go folks...Knock wood that everything works out as we hope!!!
