Great analysis. I can't recall a single play he made yesterday. Kinda like he wasn't even on the field. I recall someone in the gameday thread asking is he even playing, so wasn't just me. But, carry on.

We just do well neutralizing him. But rest assured he is extremely elite

Perhaps. But people say stuff like he's the best player in the game. Or he has a 99 Madden rating one of only a very small number of people with it. I've never seen that from him. I think he's more of a 90 overall on Madden if that makes sense. Nick Bosa > Donald.

Nice chart but it doesn't reconcile with what just happened on the field. Great players (best in the game) blow up double teams. For example Cooper Kupp even doubled is basically wide open. Lawrence Taylor would be doubled and would blow everything up. Randy Moss even tripled would win.

Donald in this game literally had a play where he's doubled, he then stopped even attempting a rush cuz he knew it wasn't gonna happen so he disengaged and then tried to hop in the passing lane. He did the old George Costanza jump got like an inch off the ground it was hilarious.

This has the same kinda energy as the people saying Nick Bosa has disappeared the last few games.

So simple but my favorite play!

I remember they had two LA teams back in the day known as the Rams and Raiders. They both moved out of town cuz the locals weren't exactly die hards. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Someone was looking for the calls

if by "electric" they mean like tossing a plugged-in toaster into the bathtub I'm sitting in, I agree.

Yeah I go back and forth whether I kinda like him or it's cringey and annoying, guess it's a bit of both lol

Not quite. The Rams had a healthy fan-base in LA from 1946 (when they moved there from Cleveland) to the mid 80s when the Raiders moved it. They won the 1951 NFL Championship, went to the Super Bowl in 79 and had some damn good teams in their first run there.

The Raiders moving down there didn't help. There's the presence that comes with the Raiders (Raider Nation) and Al Davis was the type of person who just takes over whatever area he was in.

The bigger issue with the Rams was that Georgia Fronteire took over control of the team when her husband, Carroll Rosenbloom (Rosenbloom was a successful owner with the Colts and Rams), died in drowning accident in 1979, and promptly ran them into the financial dump. The Rams were poorly ran, and it eventually got to the point when they needed a new stadium, but they weren't able to get one in LA.

A major reason both teams left was due to the stadiums they were playing in. The Rams were playing at Anahim Stadium and they couldn't get a new stadium built in LA (there was a lot of animosity between Rams ownership, the fans and the LA area) and the Raiders were in the same boat with the Coliseum (Davis moved them in 82 and was already looking to get a new stadium built in 86). A dual stadium would have been the best option for both teams, but Georgia and Al wouldn't work together.

Georgia moving the Rams to St. Louis was a business decision (and the NFL initially blocked it) and the Raiders were looking to move back to Oakland by 1990 and ended up back in Oakland for the same reason (the stadium).

Im with you in that I also think bosa is elite but I promise you Donald is an absolute game wrecker. He happens to not do much vs us overall but rest assured he is the best DL in the league and has been for 5+ years. I wish it weren't true but it is

TJ Watt may have taken the crown.

Nah. Donald Is still the most dominant D-Lineman In the league.

And watching it for a second time was sweet.

As Jackie Gleason once crooned: HOW SWEET IT IS!

I have it recorded. Watched the second half without alcohol tonight. Just awesome. If we can play like that 2nd half in upcoming games we have a shot. But the team was amazing yesterday.

So were the fans there. Wow. The second watch really soaked in just how many fans there.
