I was trying to believe in Fisher, but after an embarrassing defeat to a team we are better than in terms of talent, and we get blown out? It is hard not to see him on the Hot Seat. Don’t give me the Sam Bradford is out thing, he would have done nothing. This team was not prepared against a very bad Viking team, and it showed, and that is all on Fisher and his staff.

You had me till that sentence. Up until that sentence, you were offering a view I didn’t share but you were making a case for yourself. I was in “well I don’t agree but I see why he says that” territory. But with that sentence you veer into complete “making it up” mode. You have no idea if that statement is true or not. In fact it’s not likely to be true. You may BELIEVE it’s true but that’s really the only thing you can legitimately claim–that you BELIEVE that. I doubt most would agree with you. That was a tentative, mind-messed team that was trying to find its base of confidence. With Bradford they already had that. So, my beliefs are directly contrary to your beliefs on this issue.

And I will say that I don’t think Fisher’s seat is even lukewarm UNLESS there are several games like that in a short span.

Give it a few weeks.

Lord, I hope I’m wrong.

But, ya know…scoreboard.

I was wrong about Michael Sam. He made a Practice Squad, so I’m not prescient. Then again, if I were, Sam would have made the Rams and we’d be 13-3, so not sure where I was going with that…

oh, yeah. We’ll get a better feel for the temperature of Fisher’s seat at the bye if not before then. If we get blown out at Tampa, the seat will already be hotter…

The Rams need to play substantially better.

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

I have to agree with Jack Miller. This continues and Fisher’s job may be in jeopardy.

I think you agree with everyone. We all said it becomes an issue if it continues. People put it differently but there was a core agreement–you can’t get several games like this, even if it’s because of what happened at qb, and even though SK is smart enough to know what key injuries do.

Based on overall talent, we have one of the 3 best teams in the NFL. We come out looking pathetic, is what I am saying, and it is against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

One of the 3 best teams in the NFL? Really? I don’t know if you can get anybody but your beer drinking buddies to go along with that statement.

Sorry, I meant to say NFC, not NFL. Just a typo.

No. First, you can’t count the “talent” without taking into account the inexperience – most of these guys are very young. Even then most outsiders look at one major pure blue chip talent on this team – Quinn – and most of the rest at average or even below. Now again that should change with time and experience but but right now not close when looking at every position.

In addition I believe Bradford would have gone to the locker room at half ahead of these guys and so the gusher would not have taken place. That’s just my opinion there.

Again, you do not lose to an awful Vikings team at home. They got hammered. This is unacceptable. I don’t want to hear inexperience stuff either. The Vikings were a team that we should have blown out, and not the other way around. I put that on the coaching.
