Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 1/28/24
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t make the NFC Championship game, and so this post is futile and I’ll admit semi-whiny, but also, I do think the Rams would’ve beaten the Washington Commanders had they played them in the NFC Championship game.
Instead, the Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles and the rest is and will be history. L.A. took the Eagles down to the wire, and I just can’t help but think that on their best day they could’ve won that game (it wasn’t their best day) and then they could’ve handled the Commanders in Los Angeles.
Would the Rams have then gone on to actually win the Super Bowl? Oh, I don’t know and I suppose it doesn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be thinking about it for a while.
Now, maybe Washington would’ve won anyways, and I for sure think that’s a fair take too. They had a great team and a fantastic season.
Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day!

Veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp and quarterback Matthew Stafford face tough decisions regarding their future with the team. While Kupp has already confirmed he will be playing another season, his future with the Rams remains uncertain.
Stafford, on the other hand, has yet to confirm if he will be back for another season. As a result, speculation has begun to grow regarding what the Rams should do at quarterback, with some TV pundits suggesting a potential trade with the Miami Dolphins for Tua Tagovailoa.”
“As the LA Rams prepared for the 2024 NFL season, veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford was unhappy. Unlike some NFL veterans, Stafford did not sit out of training camp. But he did make his dissatisfaction known to the media and to the team. Stafford wanted guaranteed money, healthy or injured. Eventually, the team caved into his demands.
The Rams and Stafford reworked his contract, accelerating his guaranteed...
