Eternal RamnationParticipantHappy Birthday NERam !
Eternal RamnationParticipantAn improved OL would certainly help but so far the OL has deteriorated each season for 4 seasons so I see no reason to believe Fisher will be successful in a 5th or 6th attemp.
See I disagree with that. There are long spates where the Fisher Rams OL was fine and played well—demonstrably so, numbers back this. But then those spates of playing well are surrounded by periods where they have multiple OL injuries.
Anyway it wasn’t majorly injured and so played well in the 2nd half of 2012 and most of 2013.
2015 is different. That’s just a young OL.
I trust these guys—Fisher and Boudreau–to build good lines because they have with the Rams and they both did before the Rams, many times each.
It’s just that a young inexperienced OL is going to struggle at first.
We just use different numbers ZN. Mine aren’t stats I simplify down to this, the higher the quantity of Fisher acquired Boudreau trained lineman the worse the quality has been. Yes they were much better in 12′ and some of 13′ dropped way off in 14 and now in the present hopefully having hit bottom this is a 100% Fisher owned OL .He owns the strategy behind the build, his idea to draft and play players that played lots and lots of games in their collegiate careers and the resulting record is his to. I would love for the graph to climb North for a decade but in reality it has been a steady downward trend for 4 years.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI was listening to a Martz interview from a couple of weeks back. Remember when he started it seemed like he had pro-bowl QB’s coming out his ears?Very QB friendly system. The Center calls the protection which predetermines the hot read. If the center was wrong they just lived with it.Almost everyone else puts all that on the QB so when they struggle with reads it slows and stresses existing problems like accuracy and timing. IMO this is on Fisher. His offenses all look the same with Titans and the Rams even on the rare exception they’ve been good it came down to extraordinary individual skills McNair, George , Johnson. An improved OL would certainly help but so far the OL has deteriorated each season for 4 seasons so I see no reason to believe Fisher will be successful in a 5th or 6th attemp.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHappy Birthday SDRam !
Eternal RamnationParticipantRams logic Martz playoffs 4 out of 5 years ( I refuse to count 05 as he was locked out after 2 games) fire him. Fisher losing every season consecutively record declining year after year, extend him.
Eternal RamnationParticipantWell that will save on the Direct TV bill.

Eternal RamnationParticipantFisher is generally in a mess these days. I don’t believe him because he has been disingenuous so many times but I can believe he was unaware of Keenum’s injury because he has been unaware of so much lately.
Eternal RamnationParticipantFlacco’s out for the season with ACL and likely more, the QB’s adding up this season.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI am surprised at the emotions over this game.
They had Keenum at qb after Foles melted down, and a young OL that was made even LESS experienced by having to replace (at this point) 5 different starters…Saffold, Brown, Havenstein, then add Williams (last game) and now Donnal to that.
Frankly I didn’t expect them to be IN the game and yet somehow, ugly as it was, they were.
Yet to me the frustration sounds like people who were expecting much more and got disappointed.
.
I’m not disappointed with the game it was better than I would have expected under the circumstances.The frustration comes from the realization that this will be another one of the dozen seasons with a losing record and it’s been seven years since Fisher has had a winning season! That’s a lot of losing and I don’t see that ending anytime soon.
Eternal RamnationParticipantwhat pole ?
Eternal RamnationParticipantQuick is 6’3″ long arms a former basketball player with a 36″ vertical, you really have to try hard to miss him by that much.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHard to believe the Rams team we saw today beat the Cards in AZ.
Eternal RamnationParticipantYup that was some %#@$ed up $&*# !
Eternal RamnationParticipantMy Niece fights mma and Boxes as well. Her opinion was Rousey didn’t train for the fight seriously. I found a video of Holly dropping her opponent with the same left roundhouse to the head about a month before the fight and sent it to her(my Niece ) She still thought Rousey would win easy.Even in her last fight, yeah she knocked her out but she ate a few punches on the way in. Holly landed way more and her power is another level above mma fighters. I have not seen a Cyborg fight but Holly and Rousey weighed in equal and Holly looked like a giant compared to Rousey in the octagon. No way Rousey goes up to 145.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHe missed a couple of throws ? Actually he made a couple of throws but missed the rest of them…at home…. in the dome….with no wind…wide fucking open receivers…the whole damn gamne…
November 15, 2015 at 5:46 pm in reply to: A well coached team with good QB play is hard to beat (post-Bears game thread) #34147Eternal RamnationParticipantWhat the hell happened to G-Rob ? He was gawd awful today.
There is no acceptable excuse for this team’s play todayEternal RamnationParticipantMcdonald has been upgraded as well , Long actually practiced so maybe next week for him now we gotta hope Ogletree’s return is relevant. With so many starters back and Jefferys’ groin issue I see the Rams winning this one.
Eternal RamnationParticipantQuinn and Havenstein upgraded looking good for Sunday. Ayers is full go Mcdonald is probably not going to play, there is a chance but it’s slim.Still with Big Rob and the Mighty Quinn both lines should be a lot better, enough to beat the Bears.
Eternal RamnationParticipantI think it all just boils down to the Rams second string D battled the vikes for almost 5 quarters and fell 3pts. short.The wind was huge
Eternal RamnationParticipantUnbelievably the sportscasters here are talking about investigating Williams for targeting.Unreal .We send are smallest slowest db out to take out Bridgewater yeah that’s logical.
Eternal RamnationParticipantInteresting to hear Fisher’s take ,Zimmer sounds passive aggressive to me “if this were in the street there probably would’ve been a fight” Didn’t see him look for Williams didn’t want to talk to Fisher just get to the press conference and then start up like that ,what a baby,it’s not like they weren’t diving at Foles knees most of the game
Eternal RamnationParticipantBtw, i watched that Joyner play, and it did not
look to me, like Joyner bashed the QB with bad intentions.
Looked a lot worse than it was.
Looked to me like Joyner COULD have clobbered him
but instead just glanced off of him. Joyner
changed the angle of attack so as to ‘almost’
miss him completely. He shouldnt have touched
the QB at all, but I dont think he meant
to do any damage — i think he meant to just
strafe real close to him — but he grazed him
a little too much.watch it closely. What do yall think?
w
vI agree and Teddy had plenty of time to get down he was trying to make the marker.
Eternal RamnationParticipantTeddy just ran for a td and a 2pt. conversion, What’s Joyner supposed to do meet him with some nice heated towels and ask “Will you be sliding or gashing us for another td this afternoon Mr. Bridgewater ? Teddy had five yards to seek protection he tried to get the marker. Joyner rolled over the top of him barely a hit at all. That’s the same announcer that was calling the Rams a dirty team this preseason. like for the whole second half. If Williams wanted to take Teddy out there are about 10 other guys out there that could’ve done a much better job. Hell if Teddy stiff armed Joyner who goes what a buck 80 he’d probably still be running
Eternal RamnationParticipantI don’t see quite that bad. We were missing 4 starters on D and Havenstein and not just guy’s either Quinn McDonald ,Ogletree even Long was playing his best in two years. All those guy’s had a shot at the probowl. We could still get in actually we could still take division but that lousy passing attack will make it tough.
Eternal RamnationParticipantouch! Well the vikes is almost as bad

November 7, 2015 at 1:37 pm in reply to: Prediction thread – Minnesota Vikings – out of doors #33709Eternal RamnationParticipantI don’t know ZN, Loadholt is out for the season C Sullivan had a setback after back surgery this is far from the OL that blew the Rams 2yds of the LOS last year. Kalil is doing better this year but Berger Fusco Clemmings that interior is pretty soft these days.
That’s fair. You know them better than I do by far.
So you are saying he’s a Viking fan. I see.
We will have to open up another front,
in the board-war. Raider fans AND Viking fans, now.w
vI see right through this clever ruse WV. You’re just trying to distract attention away from your Brady sniffing being the real cause of deflate gate.
November 7, 2015 at 1:32 pm in reply to: Prediction thread – Minnesota Vikings – out of doors #33708Eternal RamnationParticipantInjuries might be a problem. If Quinn is out or limited, that will really reduce our effectiveness against run and pass. And our OL can’t afford to lose a rookie who’s been settling in at RT.
Another eerie similarity, injuries the vikes DT Floyd is out LB Kendricks out LB Barr is dinged and questionable. I think we’ll be okay at DE considering the Rams depth on the DL but if Big Rob can’t go a RT I agree that’s a problem.
Eternal RamnationParticipantHappy Birthday Herzog !
