Random Ramsdom: It’s been over 24 hours, how are we feeling about the loss?

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 1/21/25

When the Los Angeles Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday I tried to tell myself over and over again they had a good season. They did, but that truth didn’t exactly take the sting out of the loss. After thinking about the game for the better part of a day, I have come to the conclusion that this loss was heartbreaking. There’s no way around it.

I suppose either a team wins the Super Bowl, or their season ends and it hurts. In this case, I just thought the Rams were so close and despite the errors they had, when Matthew Stafford was driving L.A. down the field in the final moments of the fourth quarter, I started to think they were going to pull this out.

They didn’t, and it was just a depressing end to such an exciting and uplifting season.

Maybe you already shared your feelings in yesterday’s Random Ramsdom, but feel free to let us know what you think about the season, how you may be coping with the loss and if the loss hurt you as much as I think it hurt me.

Thanks so much for checking out Turf Show Times! I know it was an awesome season. I just wanted it go on a bit longer. Comment on whatever you’d like and have a great day!

Cooper Kupp plans to play next season, unsure of Rams future (espn)

“I feel like I’ve got a lot of good football left in me,” Kupp said in the Rams’ final open locker room session of the season. “I’ll be playing football next year. That much I know.”

Kupp acknowledged the rumors that circulated at the trade deadline, which he also addressed during the season.

“Who knows what’s going to happen,” Kupp said. “That’s out of my control. And we will see what it’s going to be. … I don’t have any clarity on what that’s going to look like or anything like that. So yeah, obviously would love to be in L.A., but I don’t know what that’s going to look like.”

Rams’ Drake Stoops: Staying in LA (cbssports)

“Stoops signed with the Rams in early May as an undrafted free agent. The Oklahoma product spent the entire 2024 regular season on the Rams’ practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he wasn’t elevated for a single contest. By signing a futures contract, Stoops will be on the Rams’ 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12, and he’ll work with coaches during OTAs, minicamp and training camp in the hopes of earning a roster spot for the 2025 campaign.”

What does Matthew Stafford’s contract mean for his future with the Rams? (ramswire)

“For the second straight season and the third time in four years, Matthew Stafford led the Los Angeles Rams to the playoffs. Already a Super Bowl champion, Stafford nearly took the Rams to the NFC title game with another terrific performance in the divisional round on Sunday – a game the Rams lost, 28-22.

As good as Stafford has been in Los Angeles for the last four seasons, there are questions about his future with the Rams. Not only will he turn 37 on Feb. 7, but his contract was restructured in the offseason in a way that allows the two sides to either go their separate ways, or come back to the negotiating table to discuss a new deal.”
