I’m a big fan of John Fox. The guy gets results With the way Cutler is playing the Bears are going to be tough to beat the rest of the way.

I’m not sure how long the Rams can justify playing Foles. The Rams defense made sure that Foles wasn’t the only place to point fingers, but this team can’t win with this version of Foles. Whatever the reason is I don’t really care at this point, Foles is really struggling. He should be progressing but he’s regressing. With Brown’s injury following the Foles INT, more upheaval on the offensive line is coming. That sure isn’t going to help either.

You ain’t alone, señor…

Can it really be that this O is regressing from bad to pathetic?

Yeah, I’ve had about enough of Foles. He’s getting worse by the week. I don’t know why he is so horribly inaccurate. I don’t know why every ball leaves his hand like it was punted. I don’t know why he is so slow in his progressions and therefore holds the ball so long. I do know that the Rams can’t win with him at QB – not as long as he’s playing like this anyway.

It’s time for him to sit and watch.

What the hell happened to G-Rob ? He was gawd awful today.
There is no acceptable excuse for this team’s play today

Apparently G-Robb leads the league in holding calls. He’s on the 5:15 to Bustville.

I was busy and couldn’t watch the fiasco.
Just saw the highlights and nfl.com
and saw the stats.

I might be able to post rationally
at some point in the future,
but right now, I am…speechless.

I have no words.

When you are good within the division but bad outside…its coaching.

In division = familiarity. You know who yoiur opponent is, and what they do.

Outside the division = Requires more preparation and game planning

Coaching.

Jim Tomsula is 3-2 outside the division…….

but I agree, Jeff Fisher needs to go…

At 72 years old, do you think Marty Schottenhiemer has anything left?

That sucked. Foles was bad. Where was the D? Fisher teams do that way too often. Gonna have to steal games from the bengals and Seattle now

Well normally, I’d say this team is weird enough to do just that —
lose to the Bears and Ravens and then beat the bengals
and seahawks. But if Quinn is a shell of himself,
it changes everything. The Defense starts with Q and AD.

What’s wrong with Quinn? And J. Brown is done? Long is coming back soon, right?

I dunno, i cant find out what kind of injury he has exactly,
but he sat out last game, and limped around this game.

Brown is done, yeah.

My hope for 10 wins is gone. my hope for 9 is sinking.

If Fisher goes 8-8 again, surely it will be some sort of
record.

I wonder what QBs will be available in free agency?
Wonder if they’ll draft a QB?

Quinn missed the previous game cause of the knee. It doesn’t look to be surgical, and is probably something like a bruise or a sprain.

This D is not the same without 2 active DEs. With Long out, his brother beat the crap out of Hayes, Sims wasn’t up to being the lead man, and apparently Quinn only came in on 3rd downs but was not as effective as usual.

I have seen people asking if Fisher is gone after this year. I say no.

Something could happen to change that but this entire year they approach everything as if they would have time. Injured RB, young OL, new coordinator, new qb. They never acted like this was it, the judgement year.

And in fact I just don’t think anyone can rule out them being better next year. And even better this year.

They lost this game because the D fell below its usual standard. That’s in part because the DEs are banged up.

They have won games before with the offense struggling. But the D has to show up.

If Fisher goes 8-8, it will be his best year in StL.

Both. And yet, neither.
