I hope Nittany Ram was joking. Chris Long would have been of great benefit to the Rams defense because of his leadership and perhaps the Rams win the Dallas game and the first 49ers game.

Brian Quick was becoming a real weapon for this offense. Anyone who says differently is full of shit.

I feel if Sam Bradford could have stayed healthy we would have been much better off at QB and would have won more games.
Bradford does not lack talent and we were seeing in 2013 that he was coming into his own. 14 TDs vs 4 INTS at the midway point in 2013. In fact he was looking good up until he re-inured his knee this past summer. I just do not see where you benefit from bringing in a rookie QB and throwing him to the wolves. I think the Rams have to bring Sam back and make him the number one.
I have not seen anything out of Hill or Davis that makes me think they are any better an option right now for the Rams than Bradford. Austin Davis had a real opportunity to take the QB job permanently and he fucked it up royal. You have to have courage as a NFL QB and not worry about getting hit. Sorry Austin but I cannot stomach a QB who is so worried about getting hit by the rush that he’s not looking down field. I just don’t see how you broke all of Brett Farve’s records in school doing that.

I think the Rams should draft a QB early this coming draft. But they need to keep Sam and he needs to compete for the starting job. I just do not see you having success in 2015 with a rookie at QB. Its time for this team to move on to the next level and start winning on a regular basis and I do not see that happening unless your able to maybe get a Phillip Rivers or Eli Manning etc and go from there. Bradford is the best answer at QB for this team otherwise in 2015.

Another view point which may seem chauvanistic and sexist is back in 1980 when Frontiere inherited the Rams from her dead husband most fans probably were not thrilled a woman was now the owner. Keep in mind that California is a very liberal state but other than the Morabito sisters in San Francisco, I think Georgia may have been one of two women ever to own a pro football team. They other being the woman who owned the Chicago Cardinals before they moved to St Louis in 1960.
Its a mans world in most fans viewpoint, owning an NFL team. Could be…..

See, even the players can feel it.

I’ll make a prediction right here and now. I think this team runs the table on the last five games, I really do.

Sitting there in person on Sunday and watching that team play, it was apparent to me that this was not a fluke at all.
This team is ready to make their move. I think we can all legitimately go into the off season and into the 2015 season expecting really good things from the Rams on the playing field.

Watched the DVR’d game last night and Hill’s decision to throw the ball looks even worse. He had time and was not pressured.
There was no need to blindly throw that pass.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hill is a awful QB. And as we saw during the game except for a few plays he was not very accurate. A lot of balls thrown especially to backs out of the back field were almost in the dirt and tough catches because of that.

I think Kellen Clemens would have won that game.

Wow, give Jim Thomas credit for coming out and mingling with us LA Rams fans on Sunday. Bernie, sounds like he was there but was not brave enough to come out and talk to us LA Fans. Not surprised really. Would not fit Bernie’s
myopic delussional world.

Looks to me like we have a solid defense again. But linebacker play needs to improve.

And looks like the offense is there if we have a good trigger man at quarterback. I think this team is really close to being a playoff team.

Grits

Playoffs is not the important thing. Learning how to win is.

If they can go 9-7 or 10-6 and not make the playoffs well, I am happy because now we are seeing some consistency and that bodes well for the 2015 season. If we can see the Rams grow up and become a winning team, than just missing the playoffs is okay.

I doubt very much we see Clemens next week unless he replaces Rivers during the game. Rivers is the QB who came off of knee surgery some years ago to play in a playoff game. Remember that Joe? Don’t discount River’s toughness.

I don’t see how its not Bradford back for the final year of his contract. I really don’t. There is no other choice.
It for real will be Bradford’s make or break season. You know what the ironic thing is? If Sam for the first time in his career finally plays like he gets it and has a big year, then he’s a free agent and how much you wanna bet the Dallas Cowboys wouldnt come calling? Why not? Dallas is big time in Bradford’s home town and he probably grew up a Dallas fan.
He’ll still be a young 27 or 28 and in his prime.

Might be the best thing for the Rams to draft a top college QB, Mariotta, Hundley etc., and get an offensive coordinator that understand progressive exciting offense. Something Schottenheimer never clued into.

Could you believe it the other night when Mark Sanchez called Shurmur a great offensive mind? Shurmur? Really?!

You know, the Rams could do a lot worse for a coach but why not a Jim Mora as coach. He has pro experience and was a DC on very good Niner teams under Walsh and Siefert. His Bruins team are very exciting on offense too.

Jon Gruden? Nope, he loves his TV gig too much. Same with Cowler. How about Todd Bowles the Cardinal DC?

How about anybody who will finally turn this team around. Here is something to think about. If he gets canned in Chicago, Mark Trestman is not a bad offensive coordinator. Pretty damn good in fact. How about Mark Trestman as the OC replacing Schittenheimer?

My guess, that this being November, Manning will be psyched to win this game and all the rest as losing in November and December does not bode well for the playoffs. I think Peyton will be paranoid about it.

My guess is he will blow the Rams out. It may be over by half time.

I have no faith in Shaun Hill. He’s just another journeyman backup. Rams are screwed.
