joemadParticipant* how much do you hold Fisher responsible for the Keenum concussion incident? Or what’s your take on that?
* as for the team and its record, is Fisher now in danger of losing his job?
* who should start at qb? Keenum, Foles, Mannion?

On Keenum concussion, I was listening to game live on the Ravens radio broadcast. Ravens broadcast team only said that Case was slow to get up…. but when I re-watched the game, it was clear that the ref should’ve stopped the boxing match or at least give Case a standing 8 count. Case was a rag doll…. If refs didn’t see it, and Ravens radio team didn’t notice it live, then I can’t blame Fisher.
Fisher losing his job…. Kronke stayed with coach George Karl forever with the Denver Nuggets before finally canning him… I think he shows patience with Fisher, especially if the Rams move to LA, based on Fisher experience with a move from Houston to Tenn.
As far as starting this Sunday Can Jeff Garcia suit up????????… I think I’d go with Foles… Case has a concussion and he did very little to impress anyone in Baltimore.. he FUCKING SUCKED the entire 3rd quarter last week…. Mannion threw a lot of picks in college and with the holes in the offensive line it’s not a good a idea to put a rookie back there this week… it’s slim, but there is still hope this season, the NFC 2nd tier teams are pretty weak.
joemadParticipantGurley never had a breakaway run; his longest carry was 7 yards, and the Rams did not seem likely to win under those conditions. They seemed even less likely while getting Gurley 6 carries over most of the second half of a game they should have been putting away.
I didn’t realize Gurley only had 6 carries in the 2nd half…. You’re up 13-3 in the 4th quarter, you need to get more than 6 carries to your feature back in the 2nd half.
Lance Kendricks (2-43) got wide open on the backside of a fake rollout play and put the Rams up 13-3 with a 30-yard TD catch…..The TD call to Kendricks was a sweet one I think Josh McDaniels ran a few times here. Fake play-action rollout, come back to the TE on the backside.
That play has worked well this season for the Rams, when they’re able to actually execute it…..
Cignetti definitely caught them expecting pass and got that drive off to a good start. Despite those moments, this just wasn’t a cohesive gameplan. Don’t get away from plays that work and keep going back to plays that don’t. Seems like that should be Coaching 101.
other than not utilizing Gurley with a 13-3 lead in the 4th, I’m not sure you can blame Cigs much… I mean, what plays can you call when your QB is in spaz panic mode and not throwing anything close to a completed pass during most of the 2nd and 3rd qtr?.. what exactly can you call when your QB is overwhelmed playing like that? Case did not look anything close to decent QB… very disappointing that this is the depth they have a QB…..horrible QB play this season
joemadParticipantWell that will save on the Direct TV bill.
That’s funny… I gave up on Sunday Ticket this year………..
joemadParticipantwhat was the substance that Bailey was suspended 4 games for?
joemadParticipantI agree with ZN, I am not surprised with what happened in Baltimore.
It’s too bad that the Rams didn’t get anytype of decent play from Foles the past 6 weeks.
Any type of consistency from Foles this season would result in a team that would be in the thick of the playoff hunt….
Foles is who I thought he was when the trade happened….. The same guy that I saw last year in SF and vs STL…. he’s a lousy QB
joemadParticipantThank god!
When I read the title, I thought I was going to find out he hurt his back in practice.
I had the same thought….

LaramWhen you are good within the division but bad outside…its coaching.
In division = familiarity. You know who yoiur opponent is, and what they do.
Outside the division = Requires more preparation and game planning
Coaching.
——————————————–Jim Tomsula is 3-2 outside the division…….
but I agree, Jeff Fisher needs to go…
At 72 years old, do you think Marty Schottenhiemer has anything left?

BEARS 18November 11, 2015 at 2:03 pm in reply to: RamView, 11/8/2015: Vikings 21, Rams 18 (OT) (Long) #33976joemadParticipantFoles puts way too much air under some of his deep balls, and did here, but it still should have been caught for a big gain.
Yes, Foles hangs the ball up too long…. doesn’t consistently hit his receivers in stride….
Hekker adjusted, though, and drilled at least 4 punts 50 yards or more, including a 60-yarder in OT, all into the teeth of Typhoon Fran. The only problem with that last one was coverage letting Marcus Sherels scoot about 25 yards up the sideline with it to midfield. Minnesota didn’t have to go far to win the game from there
That was the killer… Fisher claims a non-call penalty (block on the back) on the return…. The Vikes deferring the coin toss in OT is telling, the Rams offense puts no fear in anyone…
Jay Cutler have quickly restored their old chemistry. Jeffery was over 100 yards with a TD in his first two games back.
Cutler had a very solid game last Monday…..joemadParticipantWhat was the substance that got Baily suspended.
Can Welker play QB?
joemadParticipantHappy Birthday…. any relation to Whitey?
joemadParticipantthis offense on 3rd down is horrible.
Just punt on 3rd down please, Hekker has a better chance at converting a 3rd down with the special teams unit than Foles does with the offense.
Foles doesn’t cut it……
joemadParticipantGiant’s fan take on Vikes Rams game
“Should’ve pick Gurley instead of flowers”joemadParticipantit all depends on who the RAMS get for these draft picks.
I wasn’t happy when the Rams drafted Bradford, but he won me over his rookie season (ROY) and moreso in 2012. Right before he got hurt in Carolina, he was having a great season……
Only 5 starting QBs have a lower completion rate that 60% and Foles is one of them. Foles passing attempts is one of the lowest in the league, that’s why and his sack percentage is higher than Bradford’s.
I think Foles is not the long term answer….. I hope I’m wrong.
In regards to thinking if Bradford would have survived the Green Bay game, Foles certainly didn’t, I can’t remember seeing a Rams qb play that badly.
joemadParticipantNice avatar, this is good too…….. need one in throwback colors…..
I just had a harvest… no chemicals and no worm infestation.

November 5, 2015 at 11:40 am in reply to: Prediction thread – Minnesota Vikings – out of doors #33570joemadParticipantlong time Rams fans have a bad taste of the Ram playoff loses to the Vikings during the 70’s, but Ram fans rarely mention this Viking playoff game.
December 26, 1988
Vikings safety Joey Browner recorded two interceptions in the first quarter to set up a two touchdown lead that the Rams could never recover from. Browner also finished the game with 7 tackles, had the Vikings only sack of the day, and recovered a Rams onside kick attempt to seal the win
Browner’s first interception, on 3rd and 17 from the Vikings 32, led to a Minnesota 73-yard drive that featured Wade Wilson’s 34-yard completion to reserve receiver Jim Gustafso and was capped by running back Alfred Anderson’s 7-yard rushing touchdown. Then on the first play of the Rams next drive, Browner intercepted another pass from Jim Everett and returned it 14 yards to the Los Angeles 17-yard line, where Allen Rice took it in for a touchdown on the next play.
In the second quarter, the Rams had three chances to score, but only managed to get any points once. First, Mike Lansford missed a 41-yard field attempt (later matched by a 44-yard miss by Minnesota’s Chuck Nelson). Then they drove to a 3rd and 1 on the Vikings 30 and were stopped for no gain on consecutive running plays. But just before halftime, Everett led the team 70 yards to cut the lead in half at 14-7 with his 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Damone Johnson.
Minnesota took the second half kickoff and moved the ball all the way to the end zone with a 1-yard touchdown run by Anderson, going back up by two touchdowns at 21-7. The Rams countered with a 33-yard field goal from Lansford, but in the fourth quarter, Wilson completed a 44-yard pass to Anthony Carter on the LA 5-yard line. On the next play, he threw a touchdown pass to tight end Carl Hilton, giving the team a 28-10 lead and essentially putting the game out of reach. The Rams managed one more touchdown with 1:11 left in the game on Everett’s 11-yard throw to tight end Pete Holohan, but Browner recovered their onside kick attempt and the Vikings ran out the rest of the clock.
Wilson finished the game with 253 passing yards and a touchdown, while Carter caught 4 passes for 102 yards. Rams linebacker Kevin Greene had 3 sacks.
joemadParticipantGurley was interviewed via phone on Mike and Mike this morning.
quick story, as a freshman in HS, he decided to take a break from football and focus on basketball.
Gurley went to the football field during practice one day looking for a ride home from one of his buddies. The football coach wouldn’t let him leave without joining the team to resume his football playing days in HS.
he’s looking forward to play vs the Vikings and child beater Peterson this week.
Thanked the o-line and downfield blocking from WR’s for his recent success.
joemadParticipantHappy Birthday Mack!

fearsomefour
the play calling and kind of routes the team is running is revealing to me.
That was a great summary and insightful point of view….
joemadParticipantbut good grief, that crew needs a conference for everything
it was the case last year when the teams met at Levi Stadium ….CK7 fumbled the snap on the goal line to seal Rams victory.
Jerome had a conference for every flag or questionable call there too…….. remember when Tavon danced on the goal line on a missed FG right before half and was tackled in the endzone, luckily, the Rams escaped that one.
Jerome and his crew need to work on being a little more concise.
BTW, win or lose I look forward to your posts every week.
joemadParticipantThe key call Boger got right was to reverse the Cunningham fumble TD in the 3rd for Brooks’ facemasking infraction. Get that wrong and we’re looking at a much different game.
huge penalty call….., I’m glad Jerome got that call corrected. However, I would not have given the refs a B-. They kinda sucked.
joemadParticipantimagine if Gurley got hurt on that cement warning track…..
November 3, 2015 at 11:09 am in reply to: Prediction thread – Minnesota Vikings – out of doors #33464joemadParticipantVikings favored by 2.5 over Rams.
http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_lines.shtml
Viking defense vs the pass is very good…. Foles is gonna need more screen and shuffle pass magic to Tavon and Gurley to move the chains.
Rams 3rd down conversions…. Rams have only converted 2ea 3rd down conversions in the past 2 games…..
49ers had their best game of the season vs The Vikes in Week 1……..
joemadParticipantthe 3rd down conversion ratio gets worse… this week against SF, 1 for 12 on 3rd down conversions…..
joemadParticipantFoles had a 101.9 passer rating and an average of 8.3 yards per passing attempt. Granted, both numbers were inflated by Austin’s ability to elude defenders in his 66-yard streak for a touchdown.
I never would have guessed Foles had a 101.9 passer rating yesterday until I read this thread… I had to double check on Agamemnon’s box score PDF thread to validate that number. Unbelievable.
Other than his completion to Jared Cook that set up Tavon’s “pylon TD”, Foles didn’t hit any of his receivers in stride.
Foles just doesn’t seem to make throws unless the receiver makes adjustments to try to make the catch. Foles hung it up on Britt’s drop, missed Baily, underthrew Tavon and missed a wide open TE on a 3rd down play in the 1st half, it don’t remember who the TE was. Foles also should have been picked off by SF DB Brock in the endzone on a terrible helium balloon floater; luckily Brock couldn’t get both feet inbounds…
I can also understand Tavon’s fumble on the Foles’ pass because Foles hung up the ball like punt and Tavon had to comeback for it to make the that catch when he fumbled.
We’re back to the future folks: it’s 1983 through 1985…
1) Rams have a very decent Defense.
2) A great feature RB
3) A HC with USC ties
3) A lousy QB… Rams have a mixture of Jeff Kemp, Steve Dils and Dieter Brock rolled into Foles.The only thing missing from the DeLorean Time Machine is playing home games in So Cal.
joemadParticipantDickerson and Gurley met when the Rams trained with the Dallas Cowboys last summer in Oxnard. where Fisher paid homage to the 55-year-old NFL icon — who still looks like he could play — by putting him in the huddle for a play during a non-contact walk-through drill. Just before doing so, Fisher informed his offensive linemen that they were going to have the honor of blocking for the great Eric Dickerson — perhaps a hint of things to come when Gurley got well.
“Even when I played I knew that one day my day would come when this would all be over,” Dickerson said. “For Jeff to let me run that last play in practice — that’s all I did because it’s all I can do any more — that was a thrill for me. I wrote him a note on a picture and said, ‘Thanks for letting me carry the rock one last time.’”
how cool is that? I wasn’t aware that happened.
joemadParticipantA Football Life.
NFL Films and NFL Network have done a very decent job with this series.
I’ve changed my view on many NFL people because of this series (Jerry Rice, Al Davis, and Sean Taylor)
30 for 30 (ESPN) is also very good… changed my view on Maurice Clarett and the Fab Five from Michigan basketball
I look forward to watching this show on Vermeil. I was totally bummed out when the Rams hired Vermiel…. Rams lost out on Pete Carroll and George Seifert… no decent HC wanted to come to STL to replace Rich Brooks… The Rams were not a well run franchise at that time, they were a friggin mess when Vermeil took over….. Same with the Eagles when he took over in Philly…..
I love DV.
October 30, 2015 at 12:35 pm in reply to: Laurinaitis says maturing Rams are winning games they’re supposed to win #33228joemadParticipantI don’t count the Pittsburgh game. No one gave the Rams a chance in that game.
Rams were favored vs Pittsburgh
joemadParticipantGurley got the Rams closer again in the 3rd on a run you’d never have seen coming at the snap. But he squeezed through a hole that wasn’t really there, slipped two tackles, broke into the open, and crossing left to right, used an insane block by Austin to go up the sideline for 48.
That was a great run…..
joemadParticipantKapernick has been sacked 25 times this season. Total QBR of 53
Foles has been sacked 11 times this season. Total QBR of 38.5
