If you're in Hawaii, it's a 3:30 AM game. Our regular games start and 7:00 AM and the late games start at 10:00.
Living in Hawaii offsets any annoyance with game start times. More beach time in the afternoon. What a dream that would be (for me).

That said, I think I'd just stay up until the 3:30am kick off

With Puka out I think you'll see more creativity from both McVay & Stafford.

I think the safety blankets of Kupp and now Puka have dulled the playcalling a bit. Might see some fun stuff on Sunday.

I watched some Jags this year and they have been impressive.
The D is pretty physical and their running game looks good.....Lawrence is Lawrence....looks like world beater one throw and lost on another.
This game will not be easy.
The most frustrating thing this year has been the, yet again, slow slow starts by the offense. Scripted plays or not they just seem to being going through the motions way too often. A lot of drive killing errors week after week. I understand we are still early in the year but this team is strange.
Coen has his team playing hard and they some talent for sure and most dangerously they now believe they are good.
Need good four quarters out of the Rams.
A stagnant offense, missed kicks or turnovers could easily turn this into a loss.
If Puka doesn't go.....and frankly, Id rather make sure he is good for the long run than rush him back....I am hoping and pleaing that McVay/Stafford diversity the attack and just not force 15 targets to a surely double teams Adams.
It would be a great week to get Fergs involved in the downfield passing game and to not be afraid to use Kyren in the passing game as well.
Completely agree with everything. Adams however, I think will see 15+ targets, their weakness are their outside corners and have been exposed all season. Would love to see 30+ rushes in this game but if McVay doesn't feel it early with success then Stafford could air it out like Flacco last night and Adams might see Chase-like targets. Of course there's always Tutu's return, I'll just have to wait and see.
 
Wonder (and sort of hope) we get some Hunter carries in this game with Corum being banged up. Really no reason to test Corums ankle when he could also have the extra week to get fully healthy. Would be so nice to have a back out there that can house it on any carry.
 
I would think Adams gets the majority of the targets. But Tutu is capable of getting open and making catches. Its just a matter of how much does Stafford and McVay trust him. I assume Mumpfield will be the WR4?
 
I am! :hug:

We need to enter the Bye Week with a win and come out roaring like gang busters after the Bye!!! :fistbump1:
In 2023 we were 3-6 going into the bye. 7-1 after the bye with the lone loss being in overtime on the road to the Ravens.

In 2024 we were 1-4 going into the bye. 9-3 after the bye and a throw away game with Seattle in the regular season finale.

So yeah, there is a good history of winning after a bye.

Yeah I loved getting up early and catching the first game while eating breakfast with some cold brews. Then I still had the early afternoon to care of the yard work or whatever else I had to do around the house.

Of course back then I was much younger and had the energy to get up at o dark hundred if necessary. Nowadays I might miss the game and watch it after the fact.
