OPENING STATEMENT:

We all expect a well played game and a Rams win today!

But; this is the NFL. Most every game in this league is closely contested. Every game is filled with mistakes and missed opportunities.

The mods are committed to protecting our safe haven from excessive negativity and any posts or topics that divide our membership.

So, if the game takes a turn to your disliking, please back away from the keyboard and rejoin the talk when a cooler head returns.

This is a message board. It should be fun. That's why we are here!

Enjoy the game everyone!
 
It's Gameday

Hope to see some of you there. I'll be in the throwback Marshall jersey in section 115
 
I don't know bout you fellas but I woke up quite damn spritely this morning knowing that it was opening day. We will rally behind Shaun Hill and we will play some damn good football fellas! I'm fuckin psyched! GO RAMS
 
Realistically we aren't going to the playoffs, we're probably due for another 7 win season, but I'll be damned if I'm not excited for this game and to kick some Viking ass, really developed a hatred for them and their fans this week.

I don't know if that's a realistic opinion or just not wanting to get your hopes up?

The NFL has teams emerge every year. Look at Carolina last year. From 7-9 to 12-4.

Our division looks tough, but even stuff like that is difficult to predict. Kaeperdick or Wilson could get injured... That would change things.

I'm thinking playoffs because there is no reason not to!
 
Is this the real game thread, as opposed the pre-game barbecue thread earlier this week? :sneaky:

With AP and Cordarrelle Patterson putting up bulletin board fodder this week, how the hell do ya think our Horns are gonna respond?Let the losers trash-talk all they want beforehand. Let's deliver our answers on the gridiron like we're suppose to!
 
As much as I'd like the Vikings to win (yea I'm a Vikings fan) ultimately I wanna see a great game. It's been way too long with football and the packers-Seahawks game didn't really 'quench my thirst' because it was so anticlimactic... and the Seahawks won.

I don't get to watch the rams much so I'm excited to see them play. Obviously that starts with Quinn but also with guys like Donald, who I really liked before the draft. You guys also have some playmakers on offense and if you think about it there's always going to be an electric receiver on the field to watch (Austin and Patterson).

If I had to say there's a Viking that will 'surprise' you guys it's Everson Griffen. If he's over his illness from this week you guys should see just how explosive/disruptive he can be.


Anyways, here's hoping for a good game gents.
 
All game long...

We have been without Bradford a lot over the last few season. So this is just another game to get ready for. I'm pumped. I wanna see these two big guys outside really show their size and strength in Britt and Quick.
 
Savour this. It's finally the NFL season. Every team has hope. Ahh!

Except the Browns. Nothing good ever happens to the Browns.

I'm very excited for KO. Unfortunately, I'll only be able to watch the 1st Q and have to DVR the rest today because I have a commitment for today. :(
