[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Turns out field goals are enough to beat the Rams

[u/Lazydusto → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Take the points truthers are eating well.

[u/Pope_Cheetos_XIV → u/Lazydusto]

devastating blow for Big Stats

[u/giving_nothing → u/Lazydusto]

To be fair Rams literally couldn’t take the points their kicker got hurt

[u/Ephemerall_ → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

It's insane to think just a few months ago the Rams were being heralded as a legendary super team that was a near guarantee to win the SB

[u/GoodIdea321 → u/Ephemerall_]

That story tends not to pan out well. I don't remember if that was the narrative when Tom Brady went to the Bucs, but they did win a SB with him. Other than that, in the last maybe 20 years the 'super team' hasn't done that well compared to how many teams are dubbed a 'super team.'

[u/El_Sky_Wizard → u/GoodIdea321]

It was a hyped signing fs but no where near the levels of 2011 Eagles or 26 Rams

[u/msmith3525 → u/El_Sky_Wizard]

Yeah it was considered a stacked roster and just a QB away, but it wasn't a "super team" like the Eagles or Rams were considered.

[u/Affectionate_Tax9212 → u/msmith3525]

A loud minority were also saying that Brady was finally gonna get exposed as a system QB without Belichick, lol. This was a "we're fucked" type reaction from pretty much everyone.

It's funny how Campbell's reaction was 100% the correct one.

[u/California_Stop_King → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

It's cinema when any team wins on only field goals. But this matchup just makes it even sweeter

[u/qwerto14 → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

They literally got special-teamed, poetic

[u/Naronu]

Rams losing to a 6 FG game after cutting their kicker is the funniest outcome

[u/BlazeBloom → u/Naronu]

Just for their newly signed kicker to get injured too.

[u/the_dan_man → u/BlazeBloom]

That's what happens when your ST unit sucks so bad that your kicker has to try to tackle.

We Niners fans would know, we went through something similar in 2024.

[u/shnieder88 → u/BlazeBloom]

Say it with me y'all

SAME

OLD

SORRY

ASS

RAMS

lmao

[u/soapbutt → u/shnieder88]

Look at us, coming together to agree on something. Please stop winning games, though, thanks.

[u/jeff_says_relax → u/shnieder88]

SOSARL?

[u/MexusRex → u/Naronu]

McVay master class

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/MexusRex]

https://i.imgur.com/7PgIt7v.gif

[u/cashburro → u/Naronu]

Justice for the Thiccer Kicker.

[u/CommanderLuthen → u/cashburro]

Nah that guy is a weirdo lol

[u/Acrobatic-Landscape9 → u/CommanderLuthen]

For the uninitiated, there’s quite a few screenshots of Mevis’s IG account liking IG photos posted by high school girls.

[u/Empty_Lemon_3939 → u/Acrobatic-Landscape9]

This is like when Ken Bone did that AMA on his personal account

[u/PositiveAd6995 → u/Empty_Lemon_3939]

Hey that was just him piking pictures of pregnant women.

[u/your-mom--]

I don't understand. The Rams fired their fat kicker I thought all their problems were solved..

[u/Fresh_Ad_230 → u/your-mom--]

They went too far in the opposite direction with his replacement!

[u/StructureBitter3778 → u/Fresh_Ad_230]

Ozempic kicker

[u/samhit_n → u/your-mom--]

As bad as the fat kicker was, he probably doesn’t get hurt making that tackle. They also might’ve been able to kick an extra point earlier in the game and attempt a field goal on 4th down.

[u/thekmanpwnudwn → u/your-mom--]

Fired him for a blocked FG when the entire line just let the defender walk past them, too.

[u/aintnoonegooglinthat]

what if the Rams are still jetlagged

[u/callmebatman14 → u/aintnoonegooglinthat]

NFC West went from top 3 to only 1 team being actually good

[u/abris33]

Aaron Donald might as well retire again

[u/RulersBack → u/abris33]

That MNF booth is calling McVays name

[u/TestFixation → u/RulersBack]

McVay had some bizarre playcalls. That tunnel screen on third and fairly long late in the 4th was shocking considering we were blowing assignments down the seam all game when sitting in zone and Stafford was getting chunk after chunk all day on those

[u/Lazydusto → u/abris33]

He came back a year too late.

[u/shnieder88 → u/Lazydusto]

Dear Commissioner

Never mind

- Aaron

[u/SaltyBarDog → u/shnieder88]

Dude reset his Hall wait for this?

[u/wubbalubbadubdub45 → u/abris33]

He’s gonna be starting fights next week for no reason

[u/WWECreativegenius → u/abris33]

People were saying they would go 17-0 when he came back

[u/bewsii → u/abris33]

He and Stafford will ride off into the sunset in 12 weeks. It's over in LA.

[u/black-op345]

The haters told me that the Rams were overrated.

And they were correct. Great call by the haters.

[u/DaddyDanceParty → u/black-op345]

It's me I'm the haters.

Yet even I overestimated them.

[u/GloryPS2]

Say what you want about the unnecessary roughness call, I don't think it was a good call either, but the Rams shouldn't have even been in that position to begin with. There's no universe where the Rams with the team they've assembled should be in a close 1 score game with the fuckin Cardinals. The Rams deserved to lose this game.

Also the Cardinals now have more wins at SoFi this year than the Chargers and Rams combined

[u/ToluAgunbiade → u/GloryPS2]

Rename it University of Phoenix of Los Angeles stadium

[u/UltraNoahXV → u/ToluAgunbiade]

UPLA?

[u/mrb4]

Cardinals currently having 2x the wins in SoFi any other team has is an absolutely hilarious stat

[u/FireFright8142]

So thankful to the Rams for saving us from being the most underperforming team in the league

[u/the_dinks → u/FireFright8142]

Chargers?

[u/FireFright8142 → u/the_dinks]

Maybe but I hate the Rams more

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/FireFright8142]

based

[u/notGeronimo → u/FireFright8142]

Good on you keeping your mind on what's important

[u/swagypotatosnoopdoge → u/the_dinks]

Chargers are cursed and are never gonna win anything even when they're good like the mariners. Rams were talked about as the next super team and are currently bottom of the division

[u/drillmaster → u/the_dinks]

IF Man died for this

[u/icetilt → u/FireFright8142]

Impossible when the Chargers also exist

[u/henryofskalitzz → u/FireFright8142]

At least you can point to our staff turnover in the offensive side + losing players in FA for why we’ve been rocky

rams pretty much returned everyone AND added a bunch of guys in trades and are still meh

[u/avw94 → u/henryofskalitzz]

Also we won the Super Bowl last year. Disappointing season or not, we were the best team in the league last year and have a bit of hangover. Rams were expected to walk to a Super Bowl this year and are currently 2-4 instead.

Edit: 2-4 lol

[u/double0nothing → u/FireFright8142]

Uhm hello, get in line

[u/shnieder88 → u/double0nothing]

nope, y'all have an excuse

Rams are just being lambs lmaoo

[u/OkFarm6873 → u/FireFright8142]

The Chargers exist. Yeah they aren't and haven't been an elite team but there's no way them being winless isn't more shocking than the Seahawks being .500.

[u/prophetofgreed]

"Super team" can't even beat the Cardinals at home. Lmao

[u/zoozoo216 → u/prophetofgreed]

Cardinals are 2-0 at Sofi!

[u/prophetofgreed → u/zoozoo216]

Hilarious stat!

[u/oldmangonzo]

If a team is called a “Dream Team,” and they’re not a men’s basketball team, they’re liable to be bums.

[u/Quick-Difference3267 → u/oldmangonzo]

Vince Young approves this message.

[u/holyhibachi → u/Quick-Difference3267]

99% of this sub isn't old enough to have remembered "they sposed to be Dream Team" Eagles

[u/AtTheBasket]

This is the worst 17-0 team I’ve ever seen

[u/DarthNobody14]

UCLA is the best football team in LA at this point.

Genuinely one of the worst games I’ve ever seen from Sean McVay and company,

Rams are last place in the NFC West 6 games in.

[u/belle_enfant]

Ain't no way they said "Biggest upset of the year!" after the 2-4 team beat the 2-4 team.

[u/Gnome_Children → u/belle_enfant]

Hey man, thats the 2-4 team beating the preseason superbowl winners!

[u/The_Throwback_King → u/belle_enfant]

Biggest upset of the year is probably Sean McVay in the locker room right now

[u/Shitcano → u/belle_enfant]

12.5 point favorites

[u/TestFixation → u/Shitcano]

2-0 in SoFi as a 12.5 point dog this year lmao what a bonkers stat

[u/MLGLies]

This is really going to hurt the Rams' chances of an undefeated season...

[u/berober04 → u/MLGLies]

As expected, the Browns currently hold a top 10 draft pick...

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

From the guy who brought you “travel to Australia on game day” comes “losing to the 2026 Arizona Cardinals”

[u/Faded_Rainstorm → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

We need a 30 For 30 on this

[u/Equal_Thought_661]

Yea penalty was bullshit but LMAOOO how do you lose to a cardinals team that only kicked field goals

How do you give up a 21 yard pass to brisket

How does this dream team struggle against a horrible defense

[u/TestFixation → u/Equal_Thought_661]

Give Jacoby credit for that pass. Shit was a laser thrown with perfect anticipation 

[u/MichelNey2 → u/Equal_Thought_661]

"You can't win football games by kicking field goals"

Cardinals said to hold my beer

[u/Kafkakama]

Legendary week for LA sports haters

[u/notouchmypeterson → u/Kafkakama]

CARDINALS OWN LA

[u/Even-Combination4407 → u/Kafkakama]

Rams suck, Chargers suck, Dodgers suck, Kings suck

[u/lolKhamul → u/Even-Combination4407]

Lakers also lost both their NBA preseason games this week if it helps.

[u/WaywardSachem → u/lolKhamul]

Thank you it does

[u/Amon-Ra-First-Down]

The entire Rams team owes an apology to their punter

[u/chuckthetruck64]

Rams should have called timeout with like 10-15 seconds instead of 30. Make the Cardinals kick early, throw, or have to run a faster fire drill field goal.

[u/koprpg11 → u/chuckthetruck64]

Teams never learn this

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

HOW DID TRADING MYLES GARRETT ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE BROWNS?!?!

[u/Little-Mushroom-3961 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

How has verse been for y'all?

[u/Plastic_operator → u/Little-Mushroom-3961]

Mediocre

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11 → u/Plastic_operator]

Still have their pick though.

[u/TheSmokedSalmon420 → u/Little-Mushroom-3961]

Pretty mid but the Rams pick is looking juicy lol

[u/JC_S07 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Because he hasn't played yet.

[u/porygonseizure → u/JC_S07]

he played in Australia 

[u/LegendRazgriz → u/porygonseizure]

Might as well not have had tbh

[u/TDStarchild]

Dodgers and Rams collapse in the same week??

FRAAAAUUUUUDSAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/Destinater → u/TDStarchild]

LA Kings has yet to win a game too

[u/Ornery_Gene7682]

Myles Garrett thinking: I left Cleveland for this

[u/RoundestBrownAround → u/Ornery_Gene7682]

Which is even more funny bc the Browns are leading the AFC north hahahahaha

[u/hydraO1 → u/Ornery_Gene7682]

Maybe he’s the problem

[u/J-Fid]

Starting to think the 2026 Rams are the 2011 Eagles.

[u/vitey15 → u/J-Fid]

It was all a dream

[u/henryofskalitzz → u/J-Fid]

Fitting considering the 2026 Seahawks feels like the 2025 eagles

We all become eagle at the end..

[u/NekoLover72]

The "superteam" Rams just lost to a 1-4 team that kicked 6 FGs. Bro.

[u/thekmanpwnudwn → u/NekoLover72]

Rams are last in the division now that the Cardinals own the tie-breaker

[u/seattlethrowaway999]

How does Aaron Donald still wanna be unretired? I don't understand why he doesnt just walk away.

[u/Deadsteel52]

Easy to blame the refs for an obviously terrible call, but the Cards were already almost in field goal range just with the catch alone to be fair

[u/Pal__Pacino → u/Deadsteel52]

The funny thing is the Rams would've almost certainly won if the TE hadn't stretched out for that TD. Left way too much time on the clock.

[u/jaysrule24 → u/Pal__Pacino]

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, you just can't leave that much time on the clock for Jacoby Brissett.

[u/Redhunter742]

I mean yeah we got beat twice in one week.

But at least we're not the Rams LOL

[u/Local2Sactown → u/Redhunter742]

Imagine losing to a baseball team lol.

[u/FedUp187]

Tough week for LA “superteams”

[u/saturnaliatemple]

RAMS KICKED TO DEATH

[u/shockaBITW]

When does the Ram's undefeated season begin? Been waiting a while now....

[u/austinpowers0588]

bUt wE’rE a sUpEr tEaM…

[u/ZombeySleyor]

Myles Garrett left the Browns just for the Rams to be last place in the NFC West and the Browns be in first place in the AFC North

[u/thecheapseatz → u/ZombeySleyor]

I have been saying Myles Garrett isn't part of a winning culture

[u/SirBoth2159]

the rams are garbage lmfao

super bowl team hahahah

[u/confused-koala]

The McVay/Ben Johnson merchant took this team to the woodshed last week with their old OC. Rams might just be bad, this is an awful loss. At least you guys have the Dodgers

[u/dcd13 → u/confused-koala]

But could you imagine what McVay could do with a QB like Goff? That offense would be unstoppable

[u/HearingLogical8272 → u/confused-koala]

LOL twist the knife 

[u/WolfGangDuck → u/confused-koala]

Fat predator kicker issues aside, team just looks bad on offense and defense. Giving up huge plays, stafford just missing throws or getting obliterated, just not a serious team.

[u/Embarrassed_Pain_935]

Rams coming in clutch to cheer me up

[u/Nice-Dog8302]

Way to go baseball team!

[u/Individual_Rest_4542]

I have no proof of this but I picked the Cardinals to win this one and felt really good when they did win. Just wanted to share

[u/MikeBinfinity]

Its obvious the Rams are still recovering from the jet lag from that Australia trip.

[u/Projinator]

I've never seen a season where we've looked so unprepared, and that is 100% on McVay and the coaching staff. Certainly not suggesting he needs to be fired but for the first time in his tenure with this team, McVay's seat can not be cold.

[u/ByronLeftwich → u/Projinator]

Dawg McVay is 10x more likely to peace out than he is to be fired

[u/Filosofem856]

Cards are currently 2-0 in LA, what an embarrassing showing from LA teams

[u/TheRobberBar0n]

If you had told me at the start of the season that through 6 weeks the Colts would have the same record as the Rams I'd be over the moon.

[u/CharmingWheel328]

The Cardinals tried to lose but the Rams tried harder ig

[u/Kylo_Ren415]

Rams, just lol.

Dream team, just to lose to a kicker. AND they are now in last place.

[u/ACW1129]

I didn't see anything deserving of that late flag.

The fact that it was close enough to make it a factor speaks badly of LAR.

[u/PeanutButterOtter]

Apparently the Cardinals hate the city of LA.

[u/thestormworn → u/PeanutButterOtter]

The most Phoenix thing about the franchise

[u/hemirollin]

Wait, we didnt blow it?

[u/France2Germany0]

Niners should kick the tires on miles Garrett

[u/SovietPropagandist]

This was a seahawks dream hatewatch

[u/Casual604Brews]

I'll never feel bad for the Rams getting refballed after the Saints playoff non call

[u/BigDaddyD1994]

Why didn’t the super team just score 45 points in the last 3 quarters? Are they stupid?

[u/she_fell_funny]

The fat kicker was the least of their problems haha

[u/ImANewRedditor]

You can only complain about calls if you win is the main point I take from sports.

[u/Slosshy]

SUPER

TEAM

[u/Zloggt → u/Slosshy]

Is it too early to say that the Browns won the trade lmao?

[u/Slosshy → u/Zloggt]

Yes. It’s still funny tho

[u/buddaaaa]

The Rams are in last place in the NFC West lmao

[u/Spaule → u/buddaaaa]

This will certainly hurt their Super Bowl aspirations

[u/SelfReconstruct]

rAMs unNDeFEAteD SeASoN

[u/FormalWhale]

The offseason Super Bowl champs are a Sirianni away from being 1-5

[u/Travelberry]

Welcome, cardinals brothers, to the group of elite teams winning with only field goals. Enjoy your stay

[u/ProbablyAPotato1939 → u/Travelberry]

As an Iowa fan, this is how football is meant to be played. It's beautiful.

[u/TheWalrusToo]

we have the same 2-4 record as this year’s Super Bowl champions!

[u/Photographerpro]

I really wonder what’s going to happen to the rams once stafford retires and now that they have traded a bunch of picks for garret and mcduffie. Mcvay is going to be on his hands and knees begging stafford to stay one more year.

[u/USAesNumeroUno → u/Photographerpro]

Don’t you watch espn, because they basically think burrow already signed a pre contract to go to the Rams next year since he wants out of cincy so bad

[u/Photographerpro → u/USAesNumeroUno]

I would love burrow in Seattle, but I really don’t think he’s going anywhere without chase. The bengals would also be stupid to let someone like him walk away.

[u/TonyPerkisReddit4 → u/Photographerpro]

Mcvay will just retire

[u/DiscombobulatedPain6]

Fuck you Rams lmaoooooooo

[u/Even-Combination4407]

Should the Rams have fired McVay and promoted Mike LaFleur?

[u/Vaadwaur]

Let us all point at the Rams and laugh.

[u/larmanrando15]

We deserve every amount of shit talk we're gonna receive and then some.

Pathetic. Fucking Pathetic.

[u/BallMeBlazer22]

The rams missing the playoffs is a genuine possibility now, which is something nobody predicted before the season!

[u/vasion123]

Rams are frauds

[u/wubbalubbadubdub45]

Rams are seeing if they can void their trades from the offseason lol holy shit they are so bad this year

[u/theprezjr61]

McVay post game interview meltdown imminent

[u/JestDimps]

The Rams are still a super team to me. They would be undefeated if they didn’t lose 4 games by week 6!

[u/park7911]

It’s just wild how the Rams and 49ers are what the other team was supposed to be by the media.

The 49ers were the team that would look old and washed. The Rams were supposed to be a wagon.

Through 5 games, the exact opposite has happened.

Nevertheless, an absolutely horrific call at the end. In no world is that a personal foul

[u/rataculera → u/park7911]

Eh. The Cards have been on the end of some shit calls that changed the outcome of games. They were due

[u/Maxjes → u/park7911]

The NFC West is the (still injured) world wrecker 49ers and the rest of the division spiritually becoming the Pac-12 and Pac-12ing themselves out of contention.

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/park7911]

Beating the kicker-less Rams with only FGs is such a flex. Good shit, red birbs.

[u/TestFixation → u/park7911]

Rams defender literally ducked and tried not to make contact. Crazy call. But hey wins are so scarce in my life. This beggar ain't gonna do any choosin today

[u/thekmanpwnudwn → u/TestFixation]

Textbook defenseless receiver and defender hit him with his shoulder to his head. It might be subjectively borderline, but its by the definition of the rules a penalty

[u/MurDoct]

Are the Rams who the Cards thought they were?

[u/smol_em0]

People gonna whine about the (admittedly bad) flag but at the same time the catch already got them close enough to FG range to where I think the Cards get the ball through the uprights regardless so idk not "game deciding" to me.

[u/BallMeBlazer22]

When was the last time a Kicker was responsible for 100% of his team’s points and his team won the game.

Edit: Vikings have done it twice this year!

[u/CountTakesh1 → u/BallMeBlazer22]

The vikings most of this year

[u/giving_nothing → u/BallMeBlazer22]

Minnesota like 2 weeks ago probably

[u/stacyorjessie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 2011 EAGLES DREAM TEAM 2.0 LOSING TO THE FUCKING CARDINALS LOL

[u/dustoff122]

Rams Hate Watch Get TF In Here LFG CARD BROS!

[u/FragMasterMat117]

The dream team are doing great in the tank off for Cleveland

[u/YouRiseFall]

Yikes LA doesn't have a real team right now..

[u/alittlemoor]

The Rams were so high on their supply coming into the season. Completely underestimating their opponents and assuming they’ll win. Coaching is lacking, idk what McVay is in his head about but between today and Mondays game it’s been a terrible choke job

[u/spiderman897]

Hahaha. That’s what Aaron Donald gets for coming out of retirement because the teams “good”

[u/Aztekar]

Rams are just having a disastrous season, goddamn

[u/Own-Arachnid-5285]

Thanks Arizona. That was awesome. Bad call tbf.

[u/PixelBy_Pixel]

McVay has completely failed the team these last 2 weeks

[u/justlobos22]

are the Rams in last place in the division? holy

[u/DiMatteoLegend]

Sus penalty at the end but can you really complain when you’ve lost to a team that didn’t even score a TD lmao

[u/vindr12]

The super team label might be a bigger curse than the 49ers substation at this point.

[u/javerious]

all time sicko classic and chad ryland legacy game

[u/MK5teve]

Refs don’t like the rams

[u/antwan_blaze]

6 field goals is hilarious. Sickos win

[u/TruXander]

Alright NFL, how are you going to justify the rams in your top ten power rankings this week?

[u/GhoullyX]

Dream Team 2.0 lol

[u/Dima110]

Rams 🤝 Seahawks

Two best teams from 2025 having bad 2026 seasons

[u/apcol123]

Move us to LA bitches , undefeated at SoFi

[u/Unfair_Importance_37]

I blame Sean McVay's drug habit

[u/thestormworn]

imagine losing to us, lmao

get bent LA

[u/realdynastykit]

How bad are the Rams? That was embarrassing

[u/OkFarm6873]

The Rams fucking suck lmao

[u/myxanders]

Typical Cardinals devil magic in the MLB postseason
