At the time of this writing, I am enjoying a fine Thanksgiving holiday, and I hope by the time of this reading you have either enjoyed yesterday, or are enjoying today or both! Regardless, as much doom and gloom may be around the Los Angeles Rams they have a chance to change all that on Sunday. It’s a week-to-week league.
Please comment on whatever you want and thanks for checking out Turf Show Times! Good luck with your shopping today (if you do that).
How the Rams Can Snap Out Of It, Beat Saints (si.com)
“The Los Angeles Rams have struggled over the last three weeks but they are still in the thick of the playoff hunt. While technically, they would be on the outside looking in, if the playoffs start today, they are only one game outside of first place in the NFC West, which comes with an automatic home playoff game.
The Rams have been inconsistent for most of this season, primarily because of injuries. However, they have still six remaining games to gain ground in the playoff race, and potentially win the NFC West.”
If the Rams Have Serious Playoff Hopes, Sunday is a Must-Win (si.com)
““The Rams are trying to stay in the playoff hunt, and they will need to avoid an upset at New Orleans, where the Saints have won two straight games and are coming off a bye week,” Bender said.
“The Saints are 1-5 when they allow 100 yards rushing or more, and the Rams are 1-5 when they rush for less than 100 yards. Who wins that battle?” Bender believes the Rams will beat the Saints 20-17.”
The Rams have been inconsistent for most of the season, but they still have a chance to win the division. With six games remaining, including multiple games against NFC West opponents, the Rams must find a way to play well down the stretch if they hope to make it to the playoffs.”
Rams won’t suspend Demarcus Robinson this week after DUI arrest (espn.com)
“LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams will not suspend wide receiver Demarcus Robinson for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, coach Sean McVay said Wednesday.
Robinson was arrested at approximately 5:13 a.m. Monday in Woodland Hills, California, after he was observed driving more than 100 mph on U.S. 101 northbound. The arrest came hours after he caught a touchdown in the Rams’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
McVay said Wednesday that the team will “let the legal process take place” and let the league go through its disciplinary process as well.
Robinson, speaking after Wednesday’s practice, said he has not heard from the NFL and does not have a timeline for when the legal process will play out. He met with McVay and the Rams front office Monday afternoon.”
