September 11, 2014 at 8:07 pm in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6980InvaderRamModerator
well. a couple things. i don’t think they’re alone in this.
my understanding is that ray rice is very close to janay’s father. from what i’ve read he’s almost like a father figure.
now… that could be either really scary or comforting. i don’t know. i hope that janay comes from a strong family. they’ve known ray since before college. so i would put their relationship at nearly 10 years. i don’t know what happened in those ten years. i don’t know what kind of family she grew up in. my hope is she gets the help and support she needs.
the other thing is as much as ray needs counseling. janay needs counseling too. she needs to figure out why she is in a relationship with this guy. is it a good relationship for her? or is she putting herself in danger? can they make this relationship stronger or is it only going to deteriorate further?
September 11, 2014 at 10:13 am in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6932InvaderRamModeratori agree with most of that. but we can’t force him to “show” that he is sorry for his actions. he does his time, and when he’s done, he’s free to do what he wants.
i don’t think ridicule and public embarassment will make ray rice change. in fact. my guess is it would make him worse. i’m sorry. i’m just not a big believer in demonizing people. there’s a reason why ray rice is the way he is. and it’s not just on him. his father war brutally murdered when he was 1 years old. i can’t imagine some of the things this guy may have endured.
now that’s not to excuse what he did. but i think it would go a long way in understanding why he is the way he is.
InvaderRamModeratoryou gotta be kidding me.
rams are cursed.
September 9, 2014 at 9:17 pm in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6783InvaderRamModeratorwell rice is just a part of a much larger problem.
he didn’t get to this point by himself. i think that’s the most important thing to remember.
and i agree with wv. this is a chance for rice to grow. to learn.
maybe this is a chance for a lot of people to grow. to learn.
but that’s hard to do cuz you gotta have the right people around you. not sure rice or any of those people have the right people around them.
September 9, 2014 at 2:04 am in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6724InvaderRamModeratorjust horrible. it’s not just goodell. members of the ravens organization saw this as well. maybe even harbaugh who said it was no big deal.
if ray rice is the only one who suffers from this, then it’s a travesty. other people need to be held responsible for the lies that have been told.
September 8, 2014 at 11:56 pm in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6717InvaderRamModeratorwell i think he needs help. unfortunately with his status. his actions have never had any consequences. i mean look at what the nfl did or didn’t do. frankly i find that more disturbing.
September 8, 2014 at 11:29 pm in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6714InvaderRamModeratorthey had all of the footage. if they didn’t. then they had access to it but chose to ignore it. bullshit if the nfl claims they didn’t have the opportunity to view the tapes.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t think they’re as bad as this sunday game showed.
but the inconsistency of this team is worrisome. maybe it’s just age.
biggest problem for this team is finding a qb.
i think the oline will be fine. the wrs will be fine. the running backs will be fine.
on defense. they’ll be fine. defensive line. linebackers. solid. the secondary should be fine. these coaches have a proven track record there, and they’ve looked solid so far. maybe a middle linebacker for the future.
so. my issues are with consistency. finding a quarterback.
if they can nail those two things, they’ll be fine because they do have a talented group there.
InvaderRamModeratorthat was amazing. looking forward to some more of that.
InvaderRamModeratorshoot why not? sign tim! how bad could it be?
InvaderRamModeratorwell rams need to draft a qb next year. high.
outside of hill they have nothing now. that’s a scary thought.
i see the offensive line improving. the running backs and wide receivers are in good shape. but they need a qb. long-term.
InvaderRamModeratori’m at a loss. i just expected a better result than this.
obviously, when hill went down, the chances of any kind of win went down the drain, but i expected something better than getting blown out at home.
i also think robinson needs to start soon. i have to believe that he could have made some difference in the running game. this offense is doomed without a running game.
the secondary was better than i expected which is a plus. i liked gaines and mcdonald. they were encouraging.
i’m also happy to see quick do well. hopefully, he can build on this.
InvaderRamModeratorto be fair. the rams won last season. atlanta? everyone assumed the rams had arrived. but it was just the same inconsistent rams.
this year. nothing has changed my mind about that. but. only game 1 so far. we’ll see.
InvaderRamModeratorI agree.
135 points per game would be awesome.
And only 4.7 points allowed?
That would be a dominant team, for sure.
yes. this.
that would be just fine.

InvaderRamModeratori think he should be starting by the start of the second half of this season.
or i’ll be worried.
InvaderRamModeratoroooh.
who wants to make a bet a music video comes out at some point called “sack city”.
i shudder.
InvaderRamModeratorexcellent. then let’s improve it more. 135 and 4.7.
i think they should pattern themselves after the seahawks. strong running game and ypa.
edit. strong running game. and a strong yards per PASS attempt.
seahawks despite ranking very low in TOTAL yards per game passing had a strong yards per pass attempt.

InvaderRamModeratori still think the running game has to carry this offense. so i’d add rushing yards per game.
130 rushing yards per game would put them in the top 10. last year was 109.5
more than that they averaged 4.1 yards per carry. it’d be nice if they could improve that to 4.5 yards per carry. that would have ranked in the top 10 last year.
InvaderRamModeratorok.
how about the the dandy-line?
get it?
dandy dline
dandelion…
InvaderRamModeratori say win. i see this team just being better in all phases of the game compared to last year.
you know. a lot of key players are at a stage in their careers where they it could just click for them. i’m talking guys in the running back corps, wide receiver corps, defensive line, linebacker corps, and secondary. if they all click at the same time, it could be magical.
we’ll see, but i don’t think i’ve been this positive about the rams in a long time.
InvaderRamModeratori think this is the year that michael brockers breaks out.
it’s his third year. physically he’s starting to mature. technically. he must be light years from where he started as a rookie.
i think we start to see what we really have in michael this season. much like robert quinn in his third year. i think this dline really becomes the dominant force we’ve been talking about but haven’t quite seen yet. it’s going to be wonderful.
September 6, 2014 at 8:58 pm in reply to: Report I saw on Herd board says Raiders close to a deal in Oakland #6346InvaderRamModeratorsorry. don’t mean to be stirring shit up. i started out as a st. louis rams fans. and i love the city of st. louis. great sports town.
but i get this weird feeling that they are moving to los angeles next year.
September 6, 2014 at 3:23 pm in reply to: If the Rams offense can have an effective passing game and put at least 25 point #6323InvaderRamModeratori think this is a reasonable expectation. the offense should be better than last year. but more than that. i think the defense will be better. this will result in more turnovers, better field position, and maybe even some more touchdowns.
i think 25 points is possible.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t know about 13-3. but i like the optimism. i really like shaun hill. i think he’s a definite upgrade from last year, and i think we improve at most positions through experience alone.
i still think dallas, philadelphia, and the second seattle game are potential stumbling blocks, so i’d go 10-6.
September 6, 2014 at 3:05 pm in reply to: how much you want to bet that Stacy is actually better than Cunningham #6321InvaderRamModeratori think tre mason ends up being the best of all of them. he’s got the wiggle and vision that cunningham lacks. and the burst that stacy lacks.
he just needs to learn how to block.
InvaderRamModeratormy only hope is that time has caught up to adrian peterson.
he’s sitting at 2000 carries right now. right about the time nfl running backs start breaking down.
he’s 29 years old which is old for a running back. if he’s lucky, he’s got one solid season left in him. but i’m not sure we gotta worry about a 200 yard game from him.
i hope.
InvaderRamModeratori’m actually gaining confidence. i think you make good points.
but i think shaun hill surprises. he’s got a very good cast around him.
also i think the niners are on their way down. i think their window has passed. guys are getting old and suspended. i think the rams have a clear shot and overtaking them. they won’t reach the seahawks, but i think they’re more than capable of taking second place. i’m predicting 10-6.
InvaderRamModeratori expect us to see a lot of different things come sunday.
donald has been up and down this preseason. i think it goes to show just how difficult the defensive tackle position can be. even for someone as pro-ready as donald.
by the end of the season, i think we start to see the real aaron donald.
InvaderRamModeratori don’t think the article was that bad. i think sam catches on somewhere. i think the response to sam has been mostly positive. he has the seventh highest selling jersey. someone is going to sign this guy.
InvaderRamModeratorit makes the most sense to me to see either the chargers or rams move to los angeles. they have an existing fan base there. the raiders? probably not solid enough of an organization for the nfl to be supportive of that decision.
