canadaramParticipantMeanwhile all the societies that DID control those weapons do not have the shootings we do.
Yes, I’m always saddened when ardent supporters of the second amendment dismiss or explain that fact away. The shear number of gun related deaths that are experienced down there absolutely frighten me.
February 8, 2018 at 6:41 am in reply to: The legacy of Jeff Fisher – controversial and complex #81847canadaramParticipantAm I correct in saying that this article is written in the second person? Whatever it is, at first I thought the style was cool, but it wore on me by the end. Regardless of the style I appreciated reading things from Fisher’s perspective.
canadaramParticipantYAY!
canadaramParticipantI don’t know how next season’s Rams can possibly match the good fortune the 2017 Rams had with expect to limited injuries. That variable alone will make building on this past season and all its glories a difficult task.
canadaramParticipantI kept expecting to see Keith Null’s name pop up. His debut vs. the Titans seemed terrible at the time, but not as bad as the debuts on that list.
January 9, 2018 at 8:44 pm in reply to: Official: Olson to Raiders…Rams promote his replacement from within #80112canadaramParticipantwhich means Jared Goff will be on his third QB coach in three years …
Better than being on his third offense in three years.
canadaramParticipantLT would be my hope too. If that’s going to turn into a reach at 23 than I’d be hoping for a pass rusher off of the edge, CB or a TE. If there is a worthy center available I’d be good with that, but good centers can often be found later. I think there are lots of places where the Rams can be upgraded though. Often a good interior LB can be had in the late first round. I would be ok with finding a more traditional LB to replace Barron if a worthy LT wasn’t available when the Rams pick.
canadaramParticipantThe Falcons run game seemed to come to life after Brockers went down. That was a big loss for the Rams D. On other subjects, a reliable TE would be a nice find before the 2018 season and it’s unfortunate that Cooper waited until his first playoff game to have his worst performance of the season. Perhaps the injury he was dealing with played a factor. Only fourteen carries for Gurley? That disappointed me. I know that the Falcons had the ball a lot and Cooper’s errors kept the ball out of Gurley’s hands early, but there were opportunities for Gurley to run more.
Anyway, my expectations were exceeded this year. Hopefully this young team keeps developing and they can adequately deal with the buzz saw that is Jimmy Garappolo.
December 29, 2017 at 9:40 pm in reply to: informal poll…was the winning TD in Tenn. a 4th quarter comeback? #79745canadaramParticipantClutch drive, but not what I’d call a comeback either.
canadaramParticipantI’m totally good with resting guys. I don’t care about the idea that the Rams might be lining themselves up for a supposedly easier opponent in Philadelphia. I doubt that is even part of their thinking. Whoever they play in the first round will be a formidable opponent. I’m just happy that the important puzzle pieces will be in place come their first playoff game in a million years.
canadaramParticipantThat video makes me feel all happy inside.
canadaramParticipantMerry Christmas Rams People. Be well. It’s frigid up here today.
canadaramParticipantAlso, my oldest daughter was born after the Rams last playoff appearance. I’m glad that I no longer have to consider her as a possible reason for the Rams inability to make the postseason.
canadaramParticipantI have an enthusiastic kiss on both cheeks for all of you people. Nobody collected my hugs last week though.
canadaramParticipantI don’t see it that way. The Rams will have a tough opponent no matter who they play. The Rams will also present as a tough out for their opponent. I’d rather they rest all the key players.
canadaramParticipantThat’s the Rams defense when they go door to door christmas caroling.
Deck the halls with limbs of seahawks. Fa la la la la la la la!
Tis the season we take first place. Fa la la la la la la la!Speaking of christmas and you captioning pictures. I miss the “Interesting Pictures” threads that you used to do. It would be a nice gift to me if you were to create another one of those threads. After all, this board should be all about trying to make me happy.
canadaramParticipantI have a bunch of hugs for all of you people.
canadaramParticipantApparently I’m slow to adjust my expectations for this team. I obviously would have preferred a win, but I’m just so excited and still surprised that the Rams are not only playing meaningful football in December, but also leading the division. These types tough losses just don’t bother me all that much this year. It has nothing to do with me maturing or developing a balanced perspective on life either. Next year I’ll be adjusting my expectations accordingly. For now I’m just excited about the trajectory of Goff. I’m not encouraged by the up and down nature of the defense though. That said, yesterday they were playing against a good Philadelphia offense. I hope there’s a good plan for Russell Wilson.
canadaramParticipantI don’t think that the Rams can count on the offense alone to score enough points to win this game. I’ve said this before, but the Rams offense has not had a lot of success vs very good defenses. The offense didn’t put up a lot of points vs. Seattle, Minnesota or Jacksonville. Like in the Jacksonville game, it will take something extra from the defense and special teams to pull out a win over the Eagles. I am dubious about the Rams chances.
December 4, 2017 at 10:35 am in reply to: 'Our special teams is No. 1 in the league for a reason' #78325canadaramParticipantI wonder if Fassel starts getting consideration for head coaching jobs soon.
December 3, 2017 at 8:16 pm in reply to: reactions to the ARZ game … + getting a winning season #78281canadaramParticipantWow! A winning season! I am pleased.
canadaramParticipantYay! My day is saved.
canadaramParticipantI get the excitement of the Rams getting a Sunday primetime game, but I hope that the game stays where it is. I hate when the Rams play night games. It interferes with my routine.
canadaramParticipantAfter watching last week’s loss live I am nothing but happy about this win. I honestly expected that the Rams would have to score in the high 30s to win this game. A non losing season? I’ll take that. A winning season? Well, I’m too scarred from the last 14 years to just assume that that’s automatically going to happen.
canadaramParticipantThe Rams offense will need to score a boatload of points to keep this game competitive. Any backups playing significant time for the Saints is obviously a good thing.
canadaramParticipant(Thanks snow!) What was it like to be there? Was it a rough sit-through? Rams did hold on for 3 quarters.
I’m not Snow, but it was easily the loudest game that I’ve attended… jet fighter loud. So that was pretty cool. Everything else was pretty much not cool. I didn’t realize that Webster was out of the game again until I was watching Hatfield and Countess chase Thielen all the way to the endzone. However, I was pretty sure that the Rams weren’t coming back after the Vikings got their second TD. The Rams were getting killed in the trenches. Even when Webster was still in the game the lack of a pass rush seemed to make things easy for Keenum and Thielen.
Anyway I saw the band Kansas play on Saturday night and then I went to the Timberwolves/Pistons game on Sunday night. So the trip had some good moments too.
US Bank Stadium is quite a spectacular venue I must say.
canadaramParticipantSure the Rams can compete with the Vikings. However, since I’m making the trip south to attend this game a Rams win seems highly unlikely. Sorry in advance.
canadaramParticipantI watched about 4 drives of the game today, and it looked to me like the Vikings defense is good.
The Vikings D is very good. They were playing without their sack leader, Everson Griffen, vs. Washington. I’m assuming that he’ll be back vs the Rams as it sounds like they were just be cautious with some soreness in his foot.
