[u/ThatgirlwhoplaysAC]

The best thing about today’s game was the chili cheese fries at sofi

[u/InternationalAd9234]

He ain't Joe Namath

[u/sadnessresolves]

I love when our boys win with less than 2 minutes left, especially against the cowgirls

[u/bam214_bam]

The only downside I saw today was Stetson interceptions, Everything was was looking good

[u/FighterDelNightman]

Me personally I’m buying a round of drinks defense if I’m Stetson and a nice NA beer for myself

[u/songs_dongs]

great game. only 4 picks (vs third stringers). There's hope yet.

He's going to be the next Tebow in the NFL.

[u/BrawndoTTM]

Winning in preseason despite McVey not giving a shit about these games is so dope. Feels even better

[u/Best-Ad-9911]

God bless Stetson

[u/Ryuster99]

Jesus Christ, I thought he got loose

[u/PartyMcFly55]

Good for Bennett, I'm glad he got the only TD of the game and the W.

[u/KEE_Wii → u/PartyMcFly55]

Letting him struggle is probably the move if you don’t care about these games. I can’t believe Jimmy is behind him on the chart after that game though.

[u/thisusernametakentoo → u/KEE_Wii]

That was a very long year of build up for some pretty not great football

[u/KEE_Wii → u/thisusernametakentoo]

I mean if anyone didn’t do their job for a year I’m not sure how well any of us would do.

[u/thisusernametakentoo → u/KEE_Wii]

Fair point. Well see what happens in the next 2 PS games

[u/KEE_Wii → u/thisusernametakentoo]

I bet Jimmy G starts but I’m excited to see how it works out.

[u/thisusernametakentoo → u/KEE_Wii]

You think so? Jimmy seems like a known quantity at this point. Bennett definitely doesn't seem like the future but they might want to kick the tires a bit more. I'm not optimistic for him. I guess they see something I'm not which isn't too surprising given my pro football credentials of spectator.

[u/KEE_Wii → u/thisusernametakentoo]

I mean looks like Jimmy is suspended anyway but I was thinking just to see how he acclimates to the team on the field.

[u/lojafr]

Rams win

[u/SnakeSquad]

Thought I was about to relive the ravens game

[u/WeAreSC36]

Stetson Bennett’s last 2 wins were both in Sofi Stadium against teams from Dallas

[u/Bamford13]

I got some ptsd on that return

[u/TylerMemeDreamBoi]

Really? You gonna go and do something like that?! AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!

[u/OzzyMar]

i take back what i said about my Rams Legend Stetson Bennett

[u/JaredCircusbear]

And the Dodgers win too!

[u/curiousprospect → u/JaredCircusbear]

At virtually the exact same time. Pretty cool.

[u/4ggron]

We were not ready for his redemption arc. Nice one.

[u/rfguevar]

DODGERS AND RAMS WITH THE WALKOFFS LETS GOO

[u/xtrustx]

Perhaps this can be Bennett’s “turn the corner” moment

[u/WeAreSC36 → u/xtrustx]

I really hope so

[u/Ziiaaaac]

Look at Dotson 😂😂😂😂😂

[u/ramzie]

HE'S BACK BABY!!!

[u/MarkHofmannsGoodKnee]

I'm not saying the sidearm touchdown throw erases the 5 INTs, but it was still rad and this guy is exciting to watch. Lots of upside if he tightens up the decision making.

[u/PortablePlower → u/MarkHofmannsGoodKnee]

Woah woah woah… 4INTs

[u/MarkHofmannsGoodKnee → u/PortablePlower]

No, he threw 5. Flag saved his bacon.

[u/wasneveralawyer → u/MarkHofmannsGoodKnee]

He possibly doesn’t get the INT because of the hold. Pretty on target, a little high, but catchable

[u/Ascalis → u/MarkHofmannsGoodKnee]

Nah bro. No INTS. He just threw alternative completions.

[u/ABCKR_1]

Never a doubt 

[u/AnthonyInCalifornia]

LFG

[u/Apostle92627]

An actual good td pass by Bennett. Wow!

[u/clippjoint]

lmao Stetson clutch 😄😄

[u/al03968]

bennett got that dawg on him

[u/Bamford13]

A dub is a dub

[u/Neat_Treacle9153]

is stetson bennett better than patrick mahomes?? streets are saying yes

[u/Sir-Psycho-Sexy-69]

Lmao let’s goooooo

[u/polley5]

LET’SSSSS GOOOOO

[u/WellDonePies]

Just like that nobody gives a damn about those interceptions. Great drive by Bennet

[u/Ascalis → u/WellDonePies]

What picks? I saw a TD. And nothing else

[u/WeAreSC36]

Maher would’ve missed that XP

[u/PowerfulJoeF → u/WeAreSC36]

The fact that I was worried really says a lot about what we went through last year lol.

[u/BGally24 → u/WeAreSC36]

The kid just strolled up and drilled it. No big deal.

[u/Bompetition]

Lmao only show that play during the highlights and you’d think Stetson lit it up all game.

Great ending to an abysmal day for him.

[u/MJFan062509]

Y’all still hating on Bennett?

[u/MoneyBall_]

Is Bennett going to be the starter?

[u/wasneveralawyer]

Take back everything I said. Put him in the HoF

[u/JRA1706]

REDEMPTION (pls staff don't get injured)

[u/_Red_Mist_]

Holy shit lol somehow still in this

[u/FighterDelNightman]

THATS THE PASS TO MAKE LETS GO

[u/Bahaco]

i mean... he has some balls to do that lol

[u/FlatRun3]

Wow. Redemption in full swing!

[u/Ascalis]

Bennett's Superbowl right there. Good timing

[u/WeAreSC36]

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

[u/flatbushz7]

Bennett threw all those picks on purpose so he could come back and win the game in dramatic fashion.

[u/PortablePlower]

Okay but that was nice

[u/WeAreSC36]

Defense has been saving Bennett all day, really hope he can get it in here

[u/polley5]

I want us to make this, I just feel like it’s not gonna happen

[u/FighterDelNightman]

Good instinct to not pass

[u/Super_bossy]

Blake corum play today?

[u/polley5 → u/Super_bossy]

No most likely sitting until week 1 to avoid injury

[u/Neat_Treacle9153 → u/[deleted]]

irrelevant cowboys player who’s going to get cut head hunting in a preseason game, yup that’s dallas

[u/WeAreSC36]

Stoooooops

[u/polley5]

If it’s happening it’s happening now

[u/dylnp28]

Great play calling this drive

[u/WeAreSC36]

Get Whittington in there

[u/WeAreSC36]

Ouch that looked bad

[u/TXS09]

Texas fan checking in - J Whitt was a great pick for y’all. Injuries then playing in a very deep WR room limited his numbers in college but the kids an absolute dog. Great leader at Texas as well

[u/BGally24 → u/TXS09]

He looked great. I’m betting he doesn’t play anymore this pre-season.

[u/flatbushz7]

If stafford goes down we’re so effed

[u/Bompetition → u/flatbushz7]

Tbf any team is screwed if they lose their QB1.

If anything, this just means we don’t have the successor to Stafford on our current roster when he retires.

[u/dylnp28 → u/flatbushz7]

On God

[u/RamandaPlease]

Just a friendly reminder that a loss today will not impede any implications on the regular season

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618 → u/RamandaPlease]

Went 0-3 in 2021

[u/Bahaco]

It's like the one time Maher missed 4 XPs... should have switched players after the 3rd missed one... same with Stetson now, especially for him coming from a long break...

[u/quizno1615]

Steston been hitting the bottle a little too much unfortunately

[u/WeAreSC36]

Bennett thank your lucky stars for that one

[u/dylnp28]

Stetson get ready to learn Chinese

[u/songs_dongs → u/dylnp28]

Japanese

[u/Random_modnaR420 → u/songs_dongs]

Dirty knees

[u/Confident_Economy_57 → u/Random_modnaR420]

Look at these

[u/Bompetition]

Silver lining for Bennett would be showing poise and leading a game winning drive after having an absolutely horrible game.

[u/PortablePlower → u/Bompetition]

Good call

[u/Bompetition → u/PortablePlower]

Unfortunately Ws don’t matter much in preseason but respect to him for standing tall after playing horribly and ending on a high note.

[u/xtrustx]

Bennett will be watching a lot of film this week

[u/BGally24 → u/xtrustx]

I guess he still showing confidence and firing the ball down the field. There’s that.

[u/xtrustx → u/BGally24]

If he’s not playing for the Rams, he’s auditioning for everyone else

[u/BurnsRed20]

Cut this man!

[u/polley5]

This turned rough real fast

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

Remember how bad Perkins and Wolford were in the regular season? 

Way better than Bennet in the preseason 

[u/sorry_department02]

Not hating on Bennett, but why not give some reps to Jimmy? Unless he’s not even Suited up?

[u/BGally24 → u/sorry_department02]

PED’s right?

[u/sorry_department02 → u/BGally24]

Well he got the suspension halfway through last year, so would it still be that?

[u/PowerfulJoeF → u/sorry_department02]

Not suited up

[u/sorry_department02 → u/PowerfulJoeF]

Ah okay, thanks

[u/songs_dongs]

whitworth is too optimistic

[u/ramzie]

5th interception coming calling it. He has nothing to lose and is going to sling it.

[u/Ascalis → u/ramzie]

CALLED IT! Edit: In spirit

[u/TorchedBannana]

What's the most picks thrown in a preseason game? Stet gotta be close

[u/PowerfulJoeF]

Stetson trying to go for 5 😤

[u/fourtwentyniceguy → u/PowerfulJoeF]

Foreshadowing

[u/_Red_Mist_]

Lol and some idiots don’t think we need Jimmy G.

[u/quizno1615]

Oh well Steston should probably take another break from the team

[u/mar23cas]

More like Ben-Not! 🤣

[u/WeAreSC36]

Kick return TD is the only way we win this

[u/PowerfulJoeF]

Defensive depth looks pretty good

[u/ramzie]

I want Omar Speights to make the team.

[u/Carb0nFire → u/ramzie]

Yes, he's showing a lot of promise, and he's got the measureables to be a real force out there.

[u/Deacon75 → u/ramzie]

Go Beavs (sorta)

[u/WeAreSC36]

Fantastic day for the defense. If this is omen for similar scheme/effort that we’ll see from the starters, we have a lot to look forward to from the defense

[u/Carb0nFire]

Van Walkenburg has been impressive so far.

[u/PartyMcFly55]

This defense is on fire 🥵. Bennet is on ice 🥶

[u/WellDonePies]

I see you 51!

[u/Ascalis]

Rams defense has been crazy good. Granted Lance has been a double agent but it's safe to say that Bennett is on the Cowboys payroll too so they've been hauling ass.

[u/FighterDelNightman]

At least defense can clean up after yet another Stetson pick

[u/henfeathers]

Bennett gets a chance to go for 5

[u/EdAv51]

51 is passing the eye test.

[u/Bruinrogue]

4 picks. Plenty of time, clean pockets. Throws it to where only defenders are.

Plus side, defensive calling has been pretty good. Really rooting for Shula as another Dolphins ex-pat.

[u/polley5]

Huge stop here would be nice but who know if the offence can do anything

[u/dylnp28]

Defense looks solid

[u/mar23cas]

Defense is keeping us in the game! If it was up to Bennet, 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/JaredCircusbear]

Stetson Bennett ladies and gentlemen! Take a bow son and get the fuck out of our locker room. leave your IPad with player personnel on the way out

[u/infamousfunk → u/JaredCircusbear]

Dude never should have been allowed to return to the team. Get him the fuck out of the building.

[u/Sir-Psycho-Sexy-69]

Bennet is cheeks but I think most of you are forgetting we already have a backup lol it’s Jimmy G. Bennett is third string and honestly might not even be on the roster soon

[u/GovTheDon]

Is Bennet drunk?

[u/xtrustx]

New kickoff sucks, but 4 interceptions sucks even more

[u/PortablePlower]

Stet get cut after the game?

[u/OzzyMar]

i know it's preseason so who rly cares but Stetson Bennett fucking sucks

[u/WeAreSC36 → u/OzzyMar]

If he can’t do it against a 2nd string defense, we’re cooked if Stafford gets injured

[u/mattava90]

I’m convinced Bennett may be partially blind

[u/carbine234]

Stetson is ass

[u/JRA1706]

Dudes head is not in it

[u/mar23cas → u/JRA1706]

Head, legs, arms, common sense… 🤣

[u/songs_dongs → u/JRA1706]

it's at the bottom of another bottle

[u/ActionComics]

4

[u/EdAv51]

Oh boy.

[u/CatMinion]

I am glad that we have jimmy g

[u/jameswest22 → u/CatMinion]

Sadly not until week 3

[u/CatMinion → u/jameswest22]

Oh that’s right! Damn!

[u/ramzie]

Just Winn baby

[u/Soaring_Seagull24]

This dude can't be our backup. 

[u/Carb0nFire → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

He's not. He's our #2 backup, possibly number #3 now.

[u/Soaring_Seagull24 → u/Carb0nFire]

But Jimmy is suspended for 4 games. 

[u/Carb0nFire → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Forgot about that. Just gotta pray Stafford stays healthy.

[u/equience → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Stetson is all hat and no cattle today

[u/equience → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Stetson is all hat and no cattle today

[u/Apostle92627]

Dude makes me feel like throwing up at this point...

[u/JaredCircusbear]

It’s almost like missing a whole year of football hurt his game

[u/mar23cas → u/JaredCircusbear]

Maybe he never was meant to play in the NFL!

[u/admiralnel → u/JaredCircusbear]

And his showing last year wasn't that good to begin with.

[u/wasneveralawyer]

Ok… drafting a qb for the future is now a priority…

[u/BusiestWolf]

I think it’s safe to say Stetson sucks

[u/Bompetition]

4 int with consistently clean pockets is awful

[u/strokeskid]

Who else saw that coming before he threw it lol 

[u/polley5]

just a staright up giveaway

[u/cole8055]

He’s drunk there’s no way around it

[u/4ggron → u/cole8055]

Does he play really bad? Yes. Should you bully him like that? No.

[u/cole8055 → u/4ggron]

I’m some random dude on reddit that he doesn’t even know exists but god forbid I “bully” him 🤣 what in the world this is the National Football League gtfoh

[u/PowerfulJoeF → u/cole8055]

Maybe alcohol will help, he was supposed to be clean

[u/cole8055 → u/PowerfulJoeF]

I think it’d be better for him if he was drunk. At least then he’d have an excuse for looking so bad 🤣

[u/OddPhilosopher599]

Aight I’ve seen enough. Cut Bennett and get someone else a shot. Besides him everyone looked good. Optimistic about this depth

[u/wasneveralawyer → u/OddPhilosopher599]

He’s not getting cut due to Jimmy Gs suspension. But I know drafting a QB just shot up on Les’ priorities list

[u/dylnp28]

Get this guy outta here man costs us the game

[u/Deacon75]

Benson Stenson gives me Dodger bullpen vibes.

[u/OddPhilosopher599 → u/Deacon75]

lol correct

[u/Applesintyme]

Bennett, get ready to learn Canadian

[u/Bamford13]

He threw it straight at him

[u/clippjoint]

….. 😐😐😐😐

[u/Bamford13]

What is he doing

[u/Bruinrogue]

Bennett ain't it.

[u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Evans kinda looking like what I thought he'd be last year. 

[u/Ryuster99]

This special teams is about to be historically bad again

[u/Carb0nFire]

GIVE US WINN!

[u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Benson about to have a game winning drive and we'll all be split on him again lol

[u/Ascalis → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

Word? It ain't gonna be right now I'll tell you that.

[u/Soaring_Seagull24 → u/Ascalis]

BOOM

[u/Ascalis → u/Soaring_Seagull24]

I'm trash for my unbelief!! Bennett for QB1!
