Baltimore was also trying to get to the Super Bowl and only lost by 4… you can’t help but think that those balls most likely weighed 2 lbs PSI less in the 2nd half against the Ravens when the Pats offense got hot.

Exactly , instead of talking about football,talent execution and strategy we’re talking about a team that has already been caught cheating ,cheating again. I’m boycotting the Super Bowl.Think I’ll watch Hawk and Animal in a cage match instead.

Fines ? Draft picks ? fuck that if they cheated no Super Bowl and no more home games

Never had control , amazing catch though!

I think this is kind of like just after the 1998 season and the Rams were about to can Dick Vermeil. They forced him to make changes to his staff and to bring in Martz as the OC. I think Fisher is only fooling himself if he thinks the offense will be any better next season with Schottenheimer. There are at least 4 guys who are OCs that are better than Schottenheimer, and they are available. Trestman, Chudzinski, Mike Shanahan, Mike Martz

I would not bet that any of the four would accept an OC job which would say they are not available. And Martz would not at all fit in with the Rams. He has a very large ego problem and cannot get along with anyone. He would not follow orders. I would not like his baggage at all.

I agree Martz wouldn’t fit with these players but painting him as an ego maniac that can’t get along with anyone is simply wrong.If you need an OC to follow orders (which Fisher has stated many times he does not)then don’t hire someone to install their offense and call plays.With the exception of Chudzinski, Cutler is the common thread linking Trestman,Shanahan and Martz.Martz has improved the offense everywhere he’s been and when he leaves the opposite effect can be seen.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an interception by a lineman when the QB was trying to throw the ball at the ground.

How do you miss the turf? Pretty big target.

Yes you haven’t seen that before, but, seem to assume it was the Rams that caused that. That was just a weird heads up play by the DL and you’re right it has basically never happened before.

IMO it was another bad decision by Hill. He drives me nuts one play will be wow nice throw and then you get the 3ft over your head at mach6 from 3yrds on a screen pass that needs to be out front in stride to work and not get you tiny X factor killed.Hill is the anti-clutch. Why ground the ball at all ? , air mail to the sideline a yard past the los,I mean we all know Hill has the ability to throw it high and uncatchable .He started getting hit and he falls apart.

Well put RFL I agree. I hate to say it but the strangest thing happened watching the SEA AZ game. I think I’m now a Seahawks fan, I actually enjoyed watching them play in a way I haven’t enjoyed the Rams since 2003 and Fisher in his 3 years has sucked out every last bit of joy from watching the Rams play.

Just listening Fisher’s post game the man is in denial . He’s lost. The D was upset because Beckham said he was going to set a record against the Rams today (which is exactly what he did) Fisher kept saying you can’t do this or that and win.He has to be told he cannot bring that clusterfuck we saw out there today to another game. Coach do your fucking job or go the fuck away.

I know we all get into post-loss funks. But name one single coach who ever said what angry fans demanded they say after a loss. The real talk is behind closed doors. You not liking the public version of what he says does not mean he is in denial, it just means you personally are frustrated.

He needs to take responsibility for his mistakes namely for this undisciplined mess being unprepared to win after 10 days off against a team with less talent. Off the top of my head Mora,Parcells even Martz would own up to his mistakes but not Fisher. No we get stuff like “Well I sure didn’t expect that out of them” Coaches are part of the team but Fisher continually separates himself from any accountability .He’s had 3 years and made millions at this point it is unacceptable to “think” his team is prepared he has to know it.

I had the same experience. The only radio we had until I was 12 was the family car radio so I’d sit in my parents 66 BelAire station wagon and listen to the game. They bought me a radio for Christmas when I was 12 and I wore that thing out listening to the Dodgers, Angels, Rams and Lakers in the late sixties and early seventies. Gawd how I loved to listen to Enberg, Vinny, Jerry Dogget, and Chicky Baby.

Who was chicky baby? Only heard that phrase once before.

Chick Hearn voice of the LA Lakers for 3338 consecutive games 1965 – 2002.

Makes me wonder how Quick would have ended up with out injury.

I don’t know about the numbers but after watching the Washington game Hill was not at all impressive in my view anyway.Looks like the same thing that happened to Davis when he started playing against good Defenses, they have recent film on him now. When he gets rattled he throws way too high and ball security goes to shit. A number of the “good throws” were in reality great plays by Britt and Bailey on poorly thrown balls.Vermeil said backups can have a good game or two but to win consistently you need more talent at the QB position. He also said they should get rid of Long because he gave up the hit that took Bradford out.

The guy’s an asshole. The Cards were holding Donald and Quinn throughout the game.Arians has got so many calls his way especially in AZ. How many late hits did Hill take ? Most were blows to the head and a least one at the knees well after the throw.He has nothing to complain about, the Refs have been the Cards MVP’s this season. Reminds me of the Cowboy fans.

To me Hill looked the same tonight as against Wash. No consistency ,one good pass one WTF pass.He reads defenses better than Davis but the erratic accuracy is about the same.

Yup you guys are right jeez I was still on the 3 division alignment. Still not likely but there is indeed a chance.
