by “cut it” i mean maintain a winning record.

but yeah. there’s probably always outliers when you’re talking about 9-7 teams.

plus this offense is consistently improving from week to week.

curious to see how they fare against buffalo.

Maybe the Rams running game is just inherently weak due to what…poor run blocking, defenses not respecting the Rams passing game? Both? Neither?

well i wonder too. might there be something going on with gurley? is he not seeing the holes?

wow. ogletree becoming a leader of this defense. i gotta say i’m impressed.

was gaines the difference for this d? sounds like this d was a lot more consistent than the first three games. wasn’t able to watch it. only heard it.

but shoot. from beginning to end. it sounded like the rams d had the cards offense contained. i hope this lasts.

and keenum again did enough to get another win. shoot. sounds like he did more than just good enough. he played well. he’s making defenses pay. now hopefully this gets gurley going in the future.

how long is it going to take pharoh and nelson to be healthy???

why are you fucking with me, fisher!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i’m from los angeles, but now i live in lompoc – about an hour north of santa barbara.

carnitas. yes. pork cooked in its own juices.

i’m jealous. i will probably just have some chips and guacamole.

or if i get out i’ll have me some chicken tawouk.

shoot. was that steven jackson’s rookie year???

rams offense is going to have to make a huge improvement to win this game.

fisher has said that gurley is close to breaking out. wondering if they’re seeing something on film that leads them to believe that.

they also comment on gurley’s attitude post-game interviews. i think he’s just pissed. lindsey seems unimpressed by todd, but i think he’s just not pleased with his performance so far. if he can get loose, rams have a chance.

i always liked him too. glad they signed him to an extension.

i think fisher knows what he’s doing. he did a good job with mcnair. and i think fisher has a genuine like for goff unlike young who was forced on him.

as zn and others have pointed out he’s not only done this with qbs, he’s done this with guys like donald and quinn. and to a certain extent gurley although it could be argued that gurley sat out because he was recovering from the acl injury. and while those guys still played on a part time basis you can’t do that at qb.

this is his mo. if goff is who we think he is and who fisher thinks he is this won’t even matter in the long run.

that being said i hope he’s starting next week.

edit. i included quinn, but fisher did not coach quinn his rookie year. oops.

losing tavon hurts. unless one of the rookie receivers can step up.

wondering if the oline can work out some kinks before this sunday.

what kind of running game do they have this year? i remember there was all that talk about a zbs last year. what do they use this year?

quinn and donald are certainly special. they’re young, so lots of football left to play.

but since i’ve been watching (since 1995) i haven’t seen anything like that duo.

carter and little were great defensive ends. i think both for a short time showed the explosiveness and playmaking ability that quinn has. and that for me is where quinn needs to separate himself. he needs the longevity. so far this season i’m encouraged that he can get himself back to the level that we saw a couple years ago. i think he needs to do it for 4 more seasons at least to separate himself from those two.

aaron donald. i’ve never seen anything like him on the rams at the defensive tackle position. beyond special i think he has the ability to be transcendent. on top of unreal athletic ability just absolutely relentless. forget about that. i don’t think i’ve seen a rams player as relentless as him on the defensive side of the ball. bar maybe london fletcher.

the two of them together could be unreal. comparing them to merlin and deacon? personally i can’t say cuz i never really watched those two outside nfl films clips. but at this point those two are almost mythic to me. so it’s hard for me to compare these quinn and donald to 2 seemingly deified football players.

just want to give special attention to a personal favorite of mine. greg robinson. i think he’s been real solid so far.
