7-9 bullshit game coming up ?

There’s no way to know the answers to those questions until they play the game.

The season started with the Rams losing to a team they theoretically should beat followed by a victory over a team they theoretically should lose to.

So thus far they’ve been the SOFAR (Same old Fisher Ass Rams).

I think if they lose to Tampa that’s a pretty good indication that another 7-9 BS season is afoot. If they win, well they could still end up 7-9 but it could be the start of something better.

This is a week to week proposition. I’ll begin to believe if they can win 3 in a row.

Well, I’d say 90 percent of average football fans dont follow other teams enough to know anything about their OLines. So, it has never meant much to me that no answers are forthcoming to that question.

Having said that, i dont disagree with the thrust of your post.

Still, I’m open the notion there may be more to it, than the injuries. I dunno. I’m just wondering if Fisher will do anything different to motivate them this week.

Naw yer talking across the last couple of years about a few hundred guys when you add up all the boards and the times this has come up.

Everyone has a nearby 2nd team they can know about and comment on. Like Zooey being near the Bay area and able to chime in about the 9ers.

Then there are the superguru fantasy football types who really do know the league as a whole.

No one ever came up with anything and that is most likely because there are no examples. And that’s with me often putting the challenge in such a provoking way that someone out there would chime in if they knew anything just to put me in my place.

Which just stands to reason. There’s very good football logic reasons why that syndrome would hamper a team.

So for example would you bet a 1000 dollars on Seattle if their subpar OL suffered a couple of more injuries plus Wilson went out.

Well why wouldn;t you bet on that.

For the obvious reason. You mess a line up to that extent and put in a #2 caliber qb on top of it and the offense struggles.

There may be Fisher reasons why they would not take the division and the conference IF they had a qb and a relatively healthy OL. But once you have the qb/OL syndrome, then, that’s an unaskable question because it is simply not going to reach the point where that’s even realistically askable.

It would be like asking if a car could win a race when the wheels are off and the engine damaged.

Man, three in a row would be a spectacle wouldn’t it.

Remember when three in a row would be a Yawn, around here?

Remember when they could actually convert a third and five ?

I am actually amazed, and excited, when they complete a freakin pass. Multiple examples of overthrows and drops has had that effect on me.

Not one of those little sideways passes that they like to throw to Tavon before he is hammered into the turf by 3 defenders. Im talking about a real, honest-to-goodness downfield pass.

I now get very excited when that happens.

Three in a row, you say? Man…

Rams still haven’t shed the 7-9 perception in Vegas….

Today, Tampa Bay is favored by 5 over the RAMS.

The player’s body clock (LA PDT time) will be 10 AM in Tampa Bay at kick off….they better not give up some early scores, I’m not sure they have a come-from-behind offense just yet…..

My bad……4PM EDT kick off, thus 1PM PDT body clock, 91 degrees with 80% humidity

They played Tampa a couple of years back, same September weather scenario. Hot and humid. I think they actually had the lead late in the game, and the Bucs came back to win it. Rams D was on the field, visibly sucking wind.

Not saying the heat is why they lost, but it certainly contributed.

To turn that around this team needs to beat a team like Tampa Bay this week. If they can’t, I’m not so sure they will turn things around this year. I’ll be getting a deja vu vibe. And I’d like to change that.

I don’t want to feel like Bill Murray:

Well, so far the Tampa Defense has allowed this:

“…Keenum should have a chance to thrive this week against Tampa Bay’s defense. In the first week, Atlanta’s Matt Ryan passed for 334 yards and two touchdowns. On Sunday, Arizona’s Carson Palmer passed for 308 yards and three touchdowns. Neither quarterback threw an interception.”

Seems like even Bill Murray could pass on this defense.

you’d think keenum would have a good game after an efficient performance against that seattle d.

i think he will. just don’t know how the secondary copes with those 2 humongous receivers.

rams d had jj and mcleod last time they faced this team.
