The 1999 Rams would've won a defensive battle against the 00 Ravens. The 00 Ravens defense is the best ground defense of all time by a mile and would have neutralized Marshall Faulk.

[@gregoryviktor3794]

Kurt Warner got hurt midway through the 2000 season with a thumb injury and I think that really affected the team. They weren't able to mask their weaknesses on defense and got exposed. That was one of the reasons they went out and got Lovie Smith prior to the 01 season.

[@vegasknights4103]

@@gregoryviktor3794the Warner injury cost the Rams a first round bye in my opinion. They only needed one more win for a #2 seed and a bye.

[@chuckstranahan5600]

When they finally got Flacco and Boldin for a posession receiver and the D was just short of frightening, they got their SB win. And let's face it - their QB's for several years shoulda been backups at best.

[@ezehogan]

[@astrostar49]

Great game. One of my dream matchups is the 2000 Ravens against the 2000 Rams. Would have been awesome if they met in the Super Bowl. This is the closest to that matchup to exist. Warner did pretty well for his debut.

[@wesleyantrim6648]

That would’ve been a hell of a matchup. I’d probably put my money on Baltimore. In my 40+ years of watching the nfl, the only defense I’d even compare to the 2000 ravens is the 1985 bears. And when you factor in how much offenses evolved in the 15 years between 1985 and 2000, I honestly think the ravens are even more impressive than the bears.

[@zy9662]

Just before the 2000 playoffs, the rams were starting to get that greatest show on turf aura again after their injuries at the beginning of the season , but then came that TD turnover by Hakim against the saints in the first game of the playoffs, a team they beat just the game before, otherwise they would probably have beaten the rest of the NFC en route to a matchup with the Ravens.

[@EvanRothfeld-f6u]

Watched the movie and cried A LOT. U think about Warner’s interception in this game and his hustle to prevent Lewis from scoring which led to 0 points. It shows what type of player he is

[@chuckstranahan5600]

Yup. And the second pick, an overthrow to a rookie second read who wasn't looking, was on the receiver - not him. Holt learned fast, though. The other second reads in this highlight reel, Bruce and Proehl, and once (I think) Marshall, didn't lam off on the play. Torry wasn't ready - he was just completing his route and the ball apparently surprised him.

That season the Bucs Defense Dominated the "Greatest Show on Turf" in the NFC Championship Game IN St Louis. Held them to II points. Warner had less than Two Hundred yards passing and Three Picks. Problem was, the League wanted the Rams in the Super Bowl so the Bucs got Robbed on a "No Catch" for First and Goal for the Bucs late in the Fourth Quarter on a Fourth Down Play. Bucs WR caught the Ball, but was ruled incomplete. The next season the NFL changed the "Catch Rule". Refs literally changed NFL History with one well placed bad call. Still doing it today.

Some quarterbacks are "gunslingers" (e.g., Brett Favre, Bart Starr, Warren Moon, Patrick Mahomes, John Elway, etc.). Others are just smart guys with a strong arm (e.g., Peyton Manning, Aaron Rogers, etc.). Some are smart scramblers (Joe Montana, Russell Wilson, Steve Young, Roger Staubach, Steve McNair, etc.). A few are true duel-threat runners (e.g., Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, etc.). However, some quarterbacks have that special "touch." They can just place that ball exactly where it needs to go. These are the rare breed of NFL QBs. I would include men like Tom Brady, Randal Cunningham, Sam Bradford (when he was healthy)...and Kurt Warner. While elite quarterbacks of any category are difficult to find, the lesser QBs in the same categories are still close enough to win games. However, the difference in the gap between those with the "touch" and those without it is pretty immense. Consequently, if I had to build a team, I'd first build it around someone with that "touch." In fact, I think that Kurt Warner is right up there (in terms of the gifted delivery of a football plus acumen) with Tom Brady. If the right coaches had known this, I think that he could have had multiple SB rings.

JayXhunter HD so are the Vikings

[@kvngirvng9475]

Yeah its a weird thing like its one those position cores you can get wrong : Dickerson, Faulk, Gurley

[@tonymancini8170]

@@kvngirvng9475 Don't forget Steven Jackson. Actually the franchise's all-time leading rusher and was such a beast in the 2000's with them. He had more single-season yards from scrimmage than any of them had with the Rams in '06 with 2,334 yards except for Faulk's '99 season. (Yes even more yards than Faulk's 2000 MVP campaign and Dickerson's 1984 2,000 yard rushing season) He isn't as good as any of those three, but definitely deserves a mention here.

Those 1999 Rams were just amazing.

this footage just reminds me how great Ray Lewis was

[@alvinhang8721]

I remember my mom who hates football, but would watch Kurt Warner played because according to her, he is such a great person.

[@kris9145]

To think, if rodney Harrison wasn't such a dirty player, we may have never seen the greatest show on turf

[@russlandrussland]

Another classic would be week 9 of 1996. Epic Ravens Rams OT game at Old Memorial Stadium.

[@relaxmoodsounds6416]

Orlando Pace what an absolute dominant player

[@davidgraham2673]

What a great team they had.. It was hard to root against those Rams. The storyline behind Kurt Warner as quarterback gave hope to "Joe Sandlot", and stoked dreams of that being us on the field. Too bad they didn't get a slew of Superbowl trophies.

[@davidgraham2673]

@Lighthouse in the Storm I think at one time, or another, all of us may have had that thought. If it's true, then it's time for my team to win another Superbowl. This year will do just fine!

Who else is here because of the Kurt Warner movie?

Just watched it- great movie

This Rams team was truly special and so much damn fun to watch! There has not been another team this electrifying since these Rams. I was a former Cowboys fan but watching this team was especially fun!

[@gregoryviktor3794]

Ray Lewis was a monster in this game. You can see the formation of an all-time great defense in this game. What they were missing was a solid QB. It seemed to always be a problem for the Ravens. Elvis Grbac was a total flop, Kyle Boller was a draft bust and Steve McNair was too old. It's not until they drafted Joe Flacco that they were able to win another Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson is the first franchise QB that they have had. Crazy to think about.

[@chrischar9428]

Greatest defense was Bears. Plus they didn't murder people

[@thabeaststl3703]

This was a game between two teams that were just at the birth of their greatness....... the Rams took on the big bad Bucs and survived in 2000. It would have been cool to see the Greatest Show on turf vs the Ravens nasty D of 2001 in the Super Bowl the next year!!

[@anth9845]

The Ravens had Priest Holmes? This was before he really hit his stride right?

[@andyc9979]

Remember how sick he was with the chiefs? He was still really good with the Ravens but a star once he went to the chiefs

[@shawn5mobile]

We drafted Jamal Lewis in 2000. Running backs did split carries back then

[@thesmithfamily7916]

Priest Holmes turned into Marshall Faulk with the Chiefs, how Faulk isn’t a top 10 Back of all time escapes me.

[@dtraversodt]

Yeah with the Chiefs he was a star but his last two seasons with Eavens he emerged
