    Let;s put it this way. It;s at least cancelled out by “at some point you commit to continuity.”

    i do think that is a very valid point.

    but also change could come in the form of making some coaching changes.

    these next 5 games will be important. if not for fisher’s job then the jobs of his assistants.

    i just think at some point you make a change.

    Unless, of course, you don’t.

    I don;t believe the “at some point you make a change” thing IR.

    I don’t see the reason for it or the logic behind it.

    Let;s put it this way. It;s at least cancelled out by “at some point you commit to continuity.”

    And if he starts winning all of this discussion is beside the point.

    i do. at some point players tune you out. they might not revolt like they did on linehan. but there’s no belief in what you’re doing. it’s just human nature.

    another reason i want fisher to win.

    make eric eat his shorts. i mean, damn. i never really followed him. wasn’t a rams fan until much later.

    but he needs to go bugger off.

    and now it gets down to this

    It’s a kind of standoff between those who

    * claim Fisher is bad no matter what

    * say that the team has been affected by circumstances no coach overcomes (eg. only one team in the history of the NFL had a winning record after moving…and very few win much if they don’t have a starting qb).

    If the first group is right, even with the qb issue settled, they can’t win.

    If the 2nd group is right, especially with the qb issue settled, sure they can win.

    Let time tell.

    i don’t think it gets down to that. i don’t think he’s a terrible coach. i just think at some point you make a change. not necessarily JUST for the sake of making a change. but just going in a different direction.

    but who knows maybe they hire a new oc. i’m not a believer that it boils down to just needing a starting qb. to me the issues go beyond that.

    did you hear that jeff? now go prove me wrong.

    seriously. i hope he proves me wrong cuz then that means it was just jared all along.

    i’ll be happy as long as the rams can start winning.

    So he can still be fired though, right? I mean Kronky would just have to pay him two more years.

    I would ‘guess’ the next five games still matter.

    v

    if they tank the rest of the way and fans revolt?

    i don’t know what would happen.

    also this had been signed months ago as had been previously speculated.

    i don’t think it’s the worst thing to happen.

    i don’t think he’s a terrible coach. but i also thought it might be time for a change.

    gotta say i’m mildly disappointed.

    at the very least jeff has to replace boras. i’d go as far as replacing boudreau.

    the only thing i’m happy about is that goff gets needed stability. not a requirement but it helps a lot.

    Rams sign Jeff Fisher to two-year extension
    Around The NFL staff
    NFL.com

    Los Angeles has given its coach an early Christmas gift.

    The Rams have extended Jeff Fisher’s contract for two more years, through the 2018 season, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Fisher agreed to the new deal in the preseason and signed it during the season, per Rapoport.

    Around The NFL will have more on this shortly.

    aaron donald is a mutant indeed.

    i hope he buries brady and that smug little smile.

    also belichick is much like aaron donald in that he devours quarterbacks. i’d be over the moon if goff could get a pair of tds today.

    his feet are amazing. he’s the type of guy who could make his oline look better than it is.

    way better than bradford was or could be.

    but yeah. some accuracy issues to work out.

    And of course I think Goff is that qb. He isn’t Wilson, he’s a different animal, BUT I also think he can be close to Wilson in QUALITY of play, just doing it differently.

    mmmm… i like what i’ve seen so far, but i’m not ready to make that comparison.

    my personal opinion is that wilson is a special qb.

    i think he’s up there with the best. it wasn’t just a great defense and great running game that propped him up.

    i also think it’s far from given that the rams can match seattle’s defense and running game.

    so there’s a lot of questions still about this team and the talent assembled by jeff.

    i find it interesting that wentz has cooled off significantly since his fast start.

    You know what? I actually don’t think that’s going to happen to Goff. The cooling off. Not that he will ascend forever, but you know what I mean.

    oh i’m not trying to say that we should expect a cooling down of goff.

    just that the casual observer might still have the idea that wentz has been a sensation when the reality is far from that. still a lot of football to be played.

    I’ve been to that stadium and didn’t think it was anywhere near being considered a dump.

    the stadium is fine. there’s nothing wrong with that stadium.

    of course i don’t think there’s anything wrong the coliseum, so what do i know?

    2 games 58.7% 5.5 ypa 3td 1int 83.3 rating

    Some of those numbers, particularly YPA, are going to be skewed by the Miami game.

    I don’t think Goff plays like a 5.5 ypa guy. I just think the circumstances of the Miami game are unique. But that game will lower the average.

    yeah which is why it’s way too early to draw any conclusions although i find it interesting that wentz has cooled off significantly since his fast start.

    tavon has been a disappointment as a multipurpose threat too.

    i don’t care how you view him. as a pure receiver or a multipurpose threat. i was expecting more.

    i have no idea which way it’ll go. it could go either way.

    but i don’t think it will ultimately influence kroenke’s decision to keep fisher or not.

    well things aren’t getting better as eric has apparently gone on the radio and ripped jeff fisher. said he was the one who called him 10 days ago and told him not to come on the sidelines.

    what a fiasco.

    This idea that they inherently DON’T do those things because of their offensive philosophy is just nonsense.

    i agree. at the same time fisher and weinke have said that they will likely open up the offense more. but yes. it’s not inherent that they don’t do those things.

    just watched the first half. his feet and pocket awareness are so sweet to watch. and that arm.

    one thing i found interesting while listening to the game on the radio. announcers were saying he wasn’t calling some protections right in the second half. needs to iron some things out maybe but would seem to be correctable.

    that int. a little too careless.

    and i also have to say that the defense has performed well overall. so yeah. fisher has to get credit for that.

    maybe the oc needs to be changed. i don’t know. again i say all this while acknowledging that much of what i’m saying is speculation.

    i just don’t think fisher comes away from this clean.

    that’s very true. i will say that solving such a crucial position on offense will make a lot of this go away. i’m certainly not denying that.

    but we also know that qb performance is related to the pieces around him which is one reason why dak is doing so well in dallas. and one reason why case was having difficulty performing in this offense.

    so goff being an answer doesn’t solve the other problems on offense.

    well we disagree obviously. and that’s fine.

    it’s not just one mistake here or there. it’s the cumulative effect. not just of penalties. mental errors. tavon supposedly not being ready for the ny game. gurley not being prepared for the season. ogletree one year showing up not ready.

    it may be a simple theory. then again just getting goff up and running is simple too.

    usually it’s a combination of things. it might be a combination of those two factors as well as others such as needing a new coordinator.

    who knows?
