well. at least some of the top qbs will be coming into play? or will they be gone by the tenth pick?

how exactly does keenum alleviate any of those problems fisher just mentioned?

my guess is fisher thinks that to take a step forward the rams need to take a step back first? let foles sit back and get evaluate?

he pretty much says that foles will be the starter again at some point which to me seems to mean that he doesn’t think keenum is the answer.

What I got out of what Fisher said is that Foles doesn’t get/know the offense yet.

.

does that mean keenum does? what advantage does starting keenum offer if he doesn’t think keenum is the long-term starter? cuz he says foles will be back at some point or is that just lip service?

one of the main problems against chicago was the 2 short passes that ended up going for 80+ tds. that plus the mental errors put them in a big hole. by that point the rams couldn’t just keep feeding it to gurley. i thought he actually ran ok against the bears in the first half. and if the rams had kept it close my guess is he woulda gotten stronger and stronger.

so i guess i’m saying another key to stopping gurley is to get a huge lead so he becomes obsolete. but that’s usually hard to do with this defense.

Okay, I’ve read a ton of Robinson-bashing for the holding calls.

I didn’t see the first one, but the second one looked completely bogus to me, and the third one was pretty freaking marginal. That third one gets overlooked more often than it is called, imo. It was one of those nanosecond deals that didn’t even affect the play.

i agree to a certain extent. but now the refs are watching him. and he’s got to be sure and be perfect. were they ticky tack fouls? yeah. but he’s gotta know now that they’re watching him. i think he got careless and sloppy. but again. i’m giving him until the end of next year. most guys maybe this is the year. but given how raw he is i’m waiting until year 3.

the rams are in a coma.

definitely the worst this season now that i’ve seen the whole game.

2 big plays and being undisciplined really hurt them the first half. shoot. if they had JUST eliminated penalties and that freaking turnover i swear they could have gotten to the first possibly tied. and it’s a whole new ball game in the second half.

i don’t know but this loss was unacceptable. i’ve only watched a little over a half but penalties, turnovers, missed passes, and allowing two big plays… the rams are shooting themselves in the foot so far. foles and robinson in particular are horrendous.

they’re healthier. they should be able to beat them. without welker.

i don’t think this is a superbowl team although i think they’re capable of making the playoffs.

well continuity on offense is a big problem. they pretty much blew up the offensive line and qbs and changed the offensive coordinator in one offseason.

that can’t be overlooked. i would still be looking at qbs in the draft this year. and foles has a couple years to try and get settled in. i’m guessing fisher will give him enough time.

i’ve been wondering lately if the players realize exactly how bad the passing game is right now. and if they do how much more pressure does that put on them knowing how the other facets of this team are going.

if nothing else could welker. possibly one of the fiercest competitors in recent memory. inject some confidence into this unit? or maybe he’s just got nothing left. i mean the only thing that could derail this season was the passing offense. it’s gotta be messing with their minds at this point.

the one thing that they shoulda done was add more leadership to those units. from the beginning. instead they got kenny britt leading this unit. yikes.

instead they got a first year coordinator, first year qb coach, unproven qb, young wr corps, youngest oline in league…

so on one hand should we be surprised? well considering the above no. but can we be critical and say more veteran leadership should have been installed? i think so.

as good as the vikings run d was the rams did get 160 rushing yards on 35 carries or something like that for a 4.4 ypc average… with no run going over 20 yards. in a close game with no passing threat to speak of…

yeah. running attack is legit. but a historically bad passing offense. sigh…

don’t be silly. manning’s no hall of famer…

you’re right in that he has built winning teams. multiple times.

now the problem i have is people saying fire him but with no answer after that. i don’t agree with just making a change for the sake of making a change. if for example a coughlin or a belichik became available sure i can see making a change.

but going from fisher to just another guy would be pointless. i’ve said in the past i would consider replacing him but only if a viable candidate was present.

i mean there’s only so many great coaching candidates out there.

i don’t really have a problem with the 2 point attempt. zeurlein missed a fg going into the wind. so who knows what woulda happened especially with the new rule.

i do have a problem with getting near the end zone and not scoring touchdowns. 5 field goal attempts. if just one of those goes for a td the rams win. and yeah i agree with ag that he got too conservative playing for a tie. that’s my main criticism having thought about it for awhile.

they need to get better on third down and they need to get more aggressive when they’ve got scoring opportunities. don’t settle for field goals. be smart but be aggressive. i thought fisher got way too conservative there a couple times when they could have gone for touchdowns.
