#Rams announce attendance of 54,850. Apparently tonight’s give-away was empty-seat costumes for the first 30,000 through the gate.

This is hilarious. I was watching the Saints broadcast on NFL.com and Joel Myers was constantly ripping the dome and the lack of fans and lack of atmosphere in the Ed. Comments like, to paraphrase……….I know this is a baseball town but, come on!. Also he said he couldn’t wait to be back in the Superdome next week as the atmosphere in the Ed left something to be desired. I do remember him making a comment about …….We have more people in the booth then they have in this stadium.

Geez! talk about lack of imagination on 4th and 1.

Grits

Rams defense should burn the video on this game. Geez!

Yes ZN that was a nice catch by Pettis but that pass was nice. Thought Gilbert had a real nice initial drive of his first season.
He should have been picked on that one play but otherwise he did real nice.

Grits

wow Garret Gilbert!

Grits

I think Rams defense has camp legs and camp arms tonight. Fatigue is the key word. Should be better next game.

Grits

Yah! A WR caught a pass and a TD! Finally!

Still not a great pass but not horrible either.

Grits

Kendricks, Cooks and the backs. Apparently WRs not in the game plan.

What a wasted pick for Tavon huh? Come on Schottenheimer!

Grits

Rams look tired on defense. Shaun Hill very inaccurate, horrible looking. Nothing out of Tavon or Britt or anybody except Cook, Harkey and Stacy so far. Kendricks has cost them with a couple of dumb holding calls.

Really, I don’t care what you say, Clemens looked better than Hill last night and the Clemens of last year looked better than this guy right now.

Grits

Talk about inaccurate! One decent pass to Harkey on the 1st drive and nothing after that. Time to look at Gilbert.

Saints game live. Saw this on the Nerd Board this morning.

Grits

I can see it now. Trainers will be serving 100 pound bags of Oreo Cookies to the players at half time. LOL

Kevin Demoff stated the Rams have never said they’re looking to move and everything they have done shows they plan on staying in St. Louis….he pointed to the new sound system and beautiful replay boards as well as the fanfest event. The replay boards are awesome and the sound is so very much improved.

Okay, I thought there was a definite dedicated string for this kind of message but if you want to post this stuff here I can oblige. Kevin Demoff has never said the Rams were not going to move either and if you have not followed this situation the last couple years well enough to know what the hell is going on then don’t be posting statements like this. Because it was after Demoff had a luncheon with a bunch of season ticket holders that the next couple days everybody found out that Kroenke had purchased the 60 acres in Inglewood.

Anything that Demoff has said has been to dance around the subject and he has never said anything that indicated the Rams were going to stay.

Lets make this perfectly clear. It really does not matter what Demoff says because he has no vote. He doesn’t own the team and the guy who does own the team loves LA. He bought the 60 acres and now he is trying to buy all of the Hollywood park land and lets not forget that he was a very serious contender for buying the Dodgers.

I am not going to go into detail about the economics that exist in St Louis but you do understand that the CVC is bankrupt and the City of St Louis has no money for a new stadium and the State of Missouri through Governor Nixon has stated time and again there is no money in the state budget to build the Rams a stadium. There has been no purchase of any kind of land by Kroenke in St. Louis either where he could build a stadium. But that’s okay, I understand the emotion here on both sides.

I think the Rams are truly in a position now that they have not been in for a very long time. Now they can afford to take the best player available regardless of position.

I will say this, that if Bradford remains healthy and does not produce this year then a QB is definitely on the list for next spring and there are some good ones. Two that come to mind are Brett Hundley from UCLA and the kid that plays at Stanford.
