Eternal RamnationParticipantKeenum over throws a wide open Quick TD
Eternal RamnationParticipantThis one is working well for me http://mamahd.com/carolina-panthers-live-stream-1
Eternal RamnationParticipantKeenum booed off the field 3 times still in the 1st Qtr. This could get ugly.
Eternal RamnationParticipantKeenum 3 batted throws so far not good.
November 6, 2016 at 6:07 am in reply to: at long last, finally, there are now articles on when Goff should start #56938Eternal RamnationParticipantSo the Rams are a QB away from being a playoff team trade two years draft picks away to move up and past at least 3 day one starters including Wentz who was perfect for the Rams offense and pick Goff who can’t help for a year oh yeah, and they already have Mannion who already sat for a year. I may have to write in Jeff Fisher Tuesday.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI thought the show was spot on. Hard to logically argue with any of it.The msm does lean conservative, watch any one of the “Sunday Shows” and take note of the advertisers , the only people that can afford that time slot Big Pharma Big Oil War Profiteers Wall St. Investment firms and Insurance Companies all among Clinton’s top donors. Clinton is a pro-choice neoconservative not a democrat and Trump is one of the very few people she is slightly left of. The FBI did go after Trump on his Russian ties and found a supersized nothing burger, the secret sauce being Clinton campaign chair Podesta’s intimate relationship with fellow Panama Papers alum Putin’s favorite bank. Trump inherited his money from his bigoted slumlord asshole father which is legal while the Clintons earned half a Billion giving speeches to some of the worst people on the planet in exchange for lucrative defense contracts disguised as charity . Describing this as shady or questionable is seriously negligent.
Eternal RamnationParticipantIn fairness the vikes starting OT’s are on IR , they are actually starting Jake (get Bradford killed) Long at LOT . It’s bad . I also noticed Kush in a Bears uniform Monday night.
October 31, 2016 at 3:42 am in reply to: What to do? Which games will you watch with the Rams off? #56407Eternal RamnationParticipantWatched Wash. vs Bengals Great game and watched Atl vs GB another really fun game to watch.
October 25, 2016 at 11:17 am in reply to: Fred Roggin of NBC says Fisher has four games to prove himself… #56066Eternal RamnationParticipantI don’t buy that at all Zooey , going to a game just for the stadium I mean. If there’s no hope of relevance people in LA aren’t going to waste 4 or 5 hours and thousands of dollars to watch a depressing shit show just cause the building is new. There is way to much fun to be had in LA especially for the kind of money you’re looking at in the new place.For it to become the the place to go the Rams need to become the team to watch.It’s just not enjoyable to watch a team suck year in and year out.
Eternal RamnationParticipantQuote from John Robinson “Well, as the Rams’ only spokesman these last nine years, it’s my job to announce to you that I have submitted my resignation, and it has been accepted,” Robinson said.
“It was a situation of mutual arrangement. Rams management and myself felt it was the right thing and the right time for this to happen. We’ve had a good nine years. Unfortunately, the last two years we have faltered. This year, particularly, was difficult for us. We tried to make a lot of changes in the football team, and we just didn’t get it done.”
Robinson, 56, leaves as the winningest coach in team history with a 79-73 record and six playoff appearances in his first seven seasons.
Eternal RamnationParticipantThere is so much about Fisher that bugs me over the years but this deal with Case and Goff is bad. If Goff isn’t a huge upgrade over Case than mortgaging the future of the team for Goff was a mistake. Quick was going to be a monster but raw he needed coaching GRob was raw but has all the tools of an all pro LOT. Goff has elite arm talent but needs extensive coaching having never been asked to play under center or read defense. So we have 3 high picks that require superior coaching to yield a player commensurate with their lofty draft position. To me that doesn’t seem to be happening nor is there much hope that it ever will.
Eternal RamnationParticipantIf your players that have been together a while now are still not communicating properly in the 7th game don’t point at them, either coach them up or get rid of them and bring in teachable players put your fucking finger away.
When he said that about the receivers, he was standing up for Keenum. That’s all that was.
Maybe Zn but there’s a weird dynamic there and it’s not the first time he’s done this. He could have accepted the blame himself and protected all the players but he as he has done time after time singled out one particular group . Add to that two int’s were absolutely horrible throws and some of the completions exposed the wrs to vicious hits. The guy is a turnover machine. Then throw in Wentz making the entire organization look like imbeciles today. Watching this team is like going to the dentist hungover.
Eternal RamnationParticipantMy reaction is to stop watching this team until Fisher is gone. Is it all Fisher’s fault? No but through all the offenses some irritating constants exist. The worst one IMO started with Mike Jones and “The Tackle” and continued through today. I don’t care if it was Quick’s mistake or Keenum’s Fisher needs to accept accountability. If your players that have been together a while now are still not communicating properly in the 7th game don’t point at them, either coach them up or get rid of them and bring in teachable players put your fucking finger away.
Above all else Mr. Fisher you are just not that smart and ego driven belief that you are got the Rams to where they are today.October 23, 2016 at 1:53 am in reply to: John Pilger: Why Hillary Clinton Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump #55802Eternal RamnationParticipantPilger is right about American empire and our history of horrific actions. But where he goes wrong, IMO, is in thinking Trump won’t be at least as bad, if not worse. I think on all the issues Pilger talks about, Trump will be substantially worse. He’s actually asked, with a straight face, why can’t we use our nuclear arsenal? Why have them if we can’t use them? And he’s always talking about how Obama has gutted our military, including our nuclear arsenal, and he’s pledged to rebuild both.
So, yes, Obama has radically increased US military power — much, no doubt, covertly — including nukes, and Hillary will do more of the same. But Trump (and the GOP in general) says they’ve wiped out our military, that we’re weak and waaay behind the Russians, and that he’ll make us Number One again. He is forever going on about how weak the US is, and how we have to show toughness to the rest of the world, and that it’s because we haven’t that forces like ISIS arise.
To me, the only way to deduce that Trump and the GOP would be less war-like than HRC and the Dems is by ignoring what they actually say, what they’ve actually said and done for the last several decades. Their bellicosity is a part of their supposed appeal. Their base expects this. They cheer this on with beer-hall-putsch chants of USA!! USA!! Seriously, anyone who thinks Trump isn’t going to at least be equally warmongering has just pretty much ignored this entire campaign and the GOP’s past.
Imo you have to ignore what both of them say because they are both pathological liars. One is a scary smart untouchable and the other an imbecilic buffoon. To me it’s imperative to look at actions , what they did , and match it up with the lies they’ve told us.Trump has done little to nothing and compare it to the blood of 1,200,000 Muslims on Clinton’s hands . All there is on Trump is speculation and bad acting. When you look at the last Republican prez and administration don’t project that on Trump when GW Bush GHW Bush and Jeb Bush along with a whole slew of neocons have endorsed Clinton. That said a vote for Dems or Repubs simply cannot be justified morally. Exactly what do they want ? They want you to believe your vote matters and you only have two legitimate choices. Myself , I’m done legitimizing their bs I will vote Green wherever they are running and against the incumbent where they are not.
Eternal RamnationParticipantThis always works for me.
Eternal RamnationParticipantTrump will win. It should be by a landslide but the vote fraud of the democrats will not allow it.
Eternal RamnationParticipantLOS ANGELES RAMS Rams continue to find mediocrity, even with Keenum playing well
Eternal RamnationParticipantWell i imagine a lot of fans are gonna say this just proves Fisher is a lousy QB guru.
I dunno anything about Sam in Philly cause i dont pay any attention to him,
but my biggest concern with Sam will always be durability. It wont do Philly any good
if he’s Great for eight games and then gets hurt again.So, my response would be ask me again after he’s played sixteen games in a row.
w
vThe thing is both knee injuries were not contact injuries. Sam has been blasted several times this year as both starting OT’s are out and he’s looking pretty tough. Watch the Vikes vs Packers game on GP and you’ll see what I mean.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHere’s Norv on Bradford mighty lofty praise from somebody that knows.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI think it’s pretty obvious he’s grown as a player and I would expect him to. He did take advantage of his downtime with the Rams studying the game. One thing I notice when I see him play now is he has developed a great touch pass. My memory of him in 12′ was rifling the ball at receivers 10yds. away just like if they were 30yds away. He’s now throwing people open.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI just so tired of silver lining football. 13 years of this shit and throw in the nine seasons before 99 it’s bullshit 22 years of ineptitude .
Eternal RamnationParticipantSo here we have three differing views all with valid points and I would say nothing outside of reasonable and then we have a list that is.
Nittany ram a rookie coach making mistakes is more accurate than putting the entire thing on Martz as zn posted in an earlier anti-Fisher thread all 4 DL had offseason surgery . Certainly you are not blaming Martz for that ? In KC Vermeil inherited a 19th rated D then it dropped to 24th 28th up to 19th again before dropping to 28th in his last year. Looking at his record now Fisher is pretty close to Vermiel III.Eternal RamnationParticipantI saw this from another Rams board, and want to see what you think. It goes from George Allen on. Not in any order
Better than Fisher
Allen
Knox
Malavasi
Martz
Robinson
VermeilEqual to Fisher
Brooks
SpagnuoloWorse than Fisher
Linehan
ProthroIMO? That;s just a way off the mark list. The idea that Brooks or Spags are equal to Fisher? That shows to me a lack of knowledge about all 3. I mean frankly…and I know everyone has their views, but…that’s just preposterous.
Brooks and Spags are worse. Clearly and obviously. I am literally at a loss as to why anyone can think any different.
Martz inherited his team then wasted it. Same with Malavasi. I would not put them as equal. Fisher built his team. He did not inherit a winner.
I would put Allen, Knox, Robinson, and Vermeil as better.
My take on Fisher is that no coach does well if he loses his starting qbs without starting qb caliber back-ups (which are very rare) AND at the same time has to rebuild an OL.
Under those conditions you’re doing well to go 7-9. And he did do well to go 7-9.
….
Imo zn your view of Martz and Vermeil is skewed or you’re not applying the same analytics evenly. Vermeil inherited a good defense and fielded two historically horrible offenses so bad in fact he was forced to bring in Martz. Martz would not take the job with Banks at QB. Martz inherited a historically bad defense . Vermeil has said one of the reasons he retired was he didn’t want to cut those players so that problem fell to Martz who responded with rebuilding the worst defense in the NFL into a top 5 Defense in one freaking season! A look at Vermeil in KC informs the discussion further, a great offense ( they put a 50 burger on the D Martz inherited without Vermeil) and a lousy D. DV uses the Martz blueprint including Trent Green and tears it up in the AFC but the D remained lousy. For me the comparison that work’s the best is Knox to Fisher. Knox I is Fisher in Houston/TN Knox II is Fisher in St.louis/LA. I rank Martz as the best Rams coach . Brooks, Spags and Linehan were not ready and Fisher did out coach Spags and Linehan easily so in my view that list is just someone insulting Fisher. I get it I don’t like him either I was against hiring him on day one and really would like to see him prove me wrong or leave at seasons end because the 7-9 bs is wearing thin.
Eternal RamnationParticipantNo, Vikes have a bye Bears are on CBS and I will get the game live on fox broadcast tv instead of watching on an internet feed. Last year I got Packers and Vikes games both losses.
Eternal RamnationParticipantLiked him from day one he makes plays
Eternal RamnationParticipantNine starters went down this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ1BCEEntbs
Yes but were they distributed all over the team, or, as I was pointing to, were they concentrated in a key unit? (I pointed to the qb/OL combo).
Some teams overcome injuries depending on their depth, which in turn depends on how veteran they are as a team. Plus of course it was easier to count on depth before free agency and the salary cap.
BUT I really wasn’t looking at that. I was looking at a particular situation–having to play mostly back-up qbs, and at the same time having continuing multiple and extensive injuries along the OL (ie. more than just 1 or 2 guys).
I can find teams that won in spite of numerous injuries, but then when injuries are heavily concentrated in a key unit, and it robs that unit of effectiveness, then, naturally you find it has an effect.
For example, in 2000, all 4 Rams linemen had off-season surgery. They then lost 2 on top of it during the season, plus Carter played while still not the same from back surgery. Injuries basically hurt the DL. While it wasn’t the only factor, that helped wreck the 2000 defense. Even with the best offense in the league they couldn’t take that hit and remain the same team, as the playoffs showed.
Basically today’s team at full strength isn’t near as good as either of those teams and that includes coaching. The D is better than 2000’s even without Quinn Brockers Hayes and Trujo but man the O is Healthy and sucking badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7fjDS0jKiE
Eternal RamnationParticipantNine starters went down this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ1BCEEntbs
Eternal RamnationParticipantNeed to stop with the injury excuse. The Pats won without Tom Brady, even though it was it was not injury but suspension. Still with two backups, they went 3-1. Heck, Fisher blamed the fans for the failed faked punt
Yes as soon as Belichick becomes available along with their entire organization Stanky will change them out. Well unless he’s a billionaire business man with little to any current NFL knowledge.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI don’t disagree on everything but you do have to figure in all the injuries. Looking at Bradford play up here on the Vikes I think we would have won a lot more if he stayed healthy. At this point extending him till the new stadium is done, well I can see that , just the way billionaires think. I’ve mention this before but the window on this defense is closing , their style of play and our now very slim draft pickin’s we need to take this in a Offensive direction. That’s the thing about Fisher that drives me nuts , he seems to think he has all the
time in the world and Stanky is the enabler .Eternal RamnationParticipantKeenum is late on so many of his passes he’s not seeing open guys and when he does they have to wait for the ball . He did some good stuff but a whole lot of bad stuff. So now we’re at the point of wondering if Keenum is our best chance for winning how terrible is Goff?
