Rams fans are ALWAYS against Seattle.

I can see why YOU might be confused, though.

ESPN Stats and Information

The Seahawks entered today’s game controlling the line of scrimmage on dropbacks 41% of the time — worst in the NFL. Closest to the Seahawks: Rams, 45%

I just can’t root for the Hawks…Hope the Falcons and Shanahan put it to them.

[InvaderRam]

really wish they would have waited on shanahan. the running game and the passing game. a perfect marriage.

i just don’t see the same resume with mcvay. of course it comes down to other things than just how you can coordinate an offense. but damn. shanny’s good. and he’s done it over and over again.

[sanbagger]

Lot of ST penalties on both teams…at least the Rams have Fassel still in the fold.

[sanbagger]

Maybe Stan didn’t want to pay for all the change orders to the new stadium…enlarging the doorways so the big headed Shanahans could get through them.

he may have a big head, but he’s been successful everywhere he’s went. mcvay has done it once.

but again. it takes a different personality sometimes for a head coach. maybe shanny doesn’t have the leadership qualities that will galvanize an entire organization.

damn. those running backs in the receiving game!

[joemad]

Houston roughed up Brady, but NE is a team that can overcome their mistakes.

Oseweiler is not a good QB…

I’m rooting for a KC GB SB….

6 playoff games so far. 6 blowouts. Not good for the NFL.

One thing I see is that the Rams aren’t alone in having receivers who can’t seem to catch the ball. Other teams have this affliction as well.

Atlanta was very impressive. Their running game is fantastic. Freeman and Coleman are very good. Freeman does not go down with fingertip tackles(I’M LOOKING AT YOU TODD GURLEY!)and Coleman carried tacklers on his back. I wish the Rams had taken Jake Matthews instead of Robinson.

The Texans have to be sick that they gave Osweiler all that money. He’s young. He may improve. But…he may not.

Why is Julian Edleman allowed to push off with no flags? Oh–that’s right–he plays for the Patriots. I swear if a Rams receiver had sneezed at the defensive back he would have seen five flags.

I think Shanahan just won the 49ers job.

The bottom line so far?

Offense rules.

So who will play Atlanta next week?

Green Bay, or Dallas?

Who will play NE next week?

Steelers, or Chiefs?

You’re probably right, but I really don’t want him in San Francisco.

I wonder if he’ll have a grudge against the Rams for not even interviewing him before they hired Coach Zygote?

Oh well, that’s the sorta thing that keeps rivalries spicy I guess.

my fear is that the rams let the right one go. again. and the niners will dominate the nfc west for years to come.

unless i believe that demoff made the right decision…

i guess it’s possible.

Well, hiring a coach is never a sure thing especially when he’s a first time head coach. Sometimes even guys that have been successful head coaches with other teams fail in their new locale. There’s just so many things outside of their control that have to break just right for a team to be successful.

What gives me hope is that everything said about McVay has been positive. Everyone that knows him thinks he will be a good head coach. Other coaches, players, media people, etc all think he’s going to succeed.

you’re right. it’s gonna take more than picking the right head coach. lots of things have to break right.

and if the reports are true that shanahan really is a jerk, then i feel good about rooting for a mcvay. he really does sound like a vermeil type coach. whereas shanahan might be a harbaugh type coach who can rub people the wrong way.

Green Bay sure has quieted down the fans in big D.

If GB wins and plays ATL next week, I’m takin the over. The score should remind us of a basketball game.

It’s amazing what Rodgers and that Packers offense can do.

But it’s also depressing when you consider how far away the Rams are from that.

Light years.

I was thinking the same thing watching Atlanta yesterday.

[InvaderRam]

i’d prefer green bay to win. i want to see an atlanta kansas city superbowl. they haven’t won one in awhile.

if the rams could produce half of what the green bay offense produces and they had a superb defense, i’d be over the moon.

shoot. if they could even just have a running game next year, i’d be ecstatic.

[sanbagger]

I’m pullin for GB as well…just don’t like Dallas and I want to see the game next week GB vs ATL

[InvaderRam]

jared cook looks… pretty good.

grumble…

Did you see the pass that hit him in the face mask? He’s the same.

[zn]

GB v. Atlanta would be a lot of fun to watch.

[PA Ram]

WHO THE HE’LL IS THIS JARED COOK GUY? WTF!

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. " Philip K. Dick

[joemad]

Cook is the same, but Aaron Rodgers is not the same as Case Keenum or Kellen Clemons…

[InvaderRam]

ok. so the playoffs got a little less wretched. now just need pats to lose.

Meh…he dropped a couple, he should have caught, right before he caught “The pass”.

Even on the “the pass” he was jogging out to his, presumably cause it wasn’t designed to go to him. He just jogged himself in to position and AR scrambled long enough to give him a chance to be a hero.

He’s still gonna drop more passes than he should.

Good game though and look forward to GB vs ATL. Hopefully Pitt vs KC is just as fun.

[PA Ram]

That was a great game. Green Bay pretty banged up now though. Gotta go with Falcons.

well for me at least. i’m being just a little facetious. my point though is that with a great quarterback and a sound offensive gameplan, players can look better.

hopefully, mcvay provides that. he should provide that over a boras. and hopefully, he can help goff become a solid to very good starter. if we’re lucky, even more.

those two things can make free agent signings a lot easier if you know what i mean.

it isn’t necessarily saying that cook is all of a sudden a better player.

[zn]

Anyone watching KC/Pitt?

I will be in a bit.

..

[InvaderRam]

i’m watching it right now. i’m rooting for kansas city. i want an atl kc superbowl.
