Ram Trucks

It felt like week seven of the NFL was where the rubber hit the road week, where the wheat separate from the chaff for those of us that have the rural background when things got real.

For instance, Matthew Stafford threw for 197 yards and three tuds to become the Rams' career leader in passing touchdowns, and the Rams dumped the Raiders.

It was a 37-21 in L.A. on Sunday.

The Rams took a 28-6 lead in the first half.

I'm not going to lie to you.

I was not at the game.

That's what I see.

The rubber hit the road weak in the NFL.

The 35 didn't come back, which is 35 MA, not Andrew Mueller.

It was Derek Ramstrom.

Oh, okay.

And the six car, which was the sign pro, um, Vinnie Rapuccio.

They lose to the Bills by three points.

And then they have a reeling Rams team coming up and then the Jets.

There are so many signs, so many guideposts for the Raiders, their coaching staff, their players.

They're close.

and pick up positive yardage.

So the fact that they were getting that kind of pressure on a normally elusive quarterback, a quarterback tough to sack, it's a great sign for the Raiders.

So when they're breaking down film today and looking ahead to their off day and setting up their game plan for the Rams, just as you mentioned, yeah, the keynote players, the marquee players are making noise, but The players that are coming up in the system, those depth players, the players that are built to the draft and, you know, maybe a cast off somewhere else are making a difference.

And I feel like there's pride in that Raider uniform again from the fans, from the Raider nation around North America and around the world.

And week five closed Monday night with Josh Allen accounting for 331 total yards, two touchdowns.

Tyler Bass made a 45-yard field goal with 1.55 to go in overtime shortly after the Rams block- or the Bills blocked the Rams field goal attempt.

And Buffalo outlasted LA 37-34 on Monday Night Football.

And I, here's the interesting thing.

Not too many of us thought they were gonna win.

They weren't favored to win last night on Monday Night Football, but lo and behold, they did.

And now the LA-- like I don't know one LA Rams fan.

I don't know one.
