MNF: 49ers at St. Louis (Rams: 1999 throwback uniforms)

[gettlemanjack]

Saint Louis is hosting only their fourth prime-time game since 2008. And two of those were Thursday nighters on NFL Network.

Rams have played Jim Harbaugh's 49er team close more often than not:

Rams at home vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 27-34

2012 - W 16-13 (OT)

2013 - L 11-35

Rams away vs Jim Harbaugh's 49ers

2011 - L 0-26

2012 - T 24-24

2013 - L 13-23

Rams will be wearing 1999 throwback uniforms in honor of the 15th Anniversary of the Super Bowl-winning Greatest Show on Turf, who is being honored at halftime

Helmets and jerseys aren't only throwback changes for the night...The Edward Jones Dome tonight has a throwback look to it, commemorating the 1999 Super Bowl Championship team.

And for MNF, the Rams "are rolling back hot dog and beer specials to the year 1999."

I wish the Rams could get more support but St Louis is a straight baseball town. Which is awful because it's an awesome city. I can stumble from the football stadium to the casino without getting hit by a car.

Those are great unis and awesome idea by the team on the field look and concessions.

under blitz-happy defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (the DC of the Saints when they won the Super Bowl), the Rams have been sending extra rushers more than anyone else in football this season. Kaepernick has a 107.7 rating against the blitz this season, 83.9 against no blitz

Rams linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree will have their hands full. This season, Kaepernick has more rushing yards (205) than running backs Jamaal Charles , Chris Johnson , Shonn Greene , Montee Ball , Reggie Bush , Darren McFadden , Toby Gerhart , Donald Brown and Doug Martin .

Since the start of 2013, Kaep has run the ball -- either by design or on scrambles -- 135 times, which is more than any other quarterback in football.

However, Kaepernick has been criticized heavily for his habits in the pocket. Only Geno Smith has held onto the ball longer than Kaepernick this season. That might explain why Kaepernick has been sacked 3rd-most frequently per dropback (8%) of every qualifying quarterback in the league

Tonight will be the 700th MNF game played.

I like their old school color theme/uniforms better than I do their new color scheme/uniforms. I don't remember Puma ever being an NFL supplier though.
