Not only does SF Market not get the Rams game. we do not get the FOX Double header (Eagles vs Cowboys)

SF @ Pitt in the AM FOX
Balt @ Oak in the PM CBS

This is the 1st time in 18 seasons that I did not subscribe to Sunday Ticket. It took me 55 minutes to cancel my DirecTV subscription on the phone. DirecTV does not allow you to cancel service on-line or in an automated fashion. I hate them. I could not justify the total cost of over $500 bucks this season to watch games…. fuck them. I could not believe that they left me on hold for that long to cancel…

So I ordered Game Pass for $99. You get the games live via audio (your choice of broadcast team Rams or opponent) then you can watch any NFL game for the past 4 years after the Sunday blackout time period (Sundays from 10 AM to 4:30 PM PT)

Game Pass allows you to watch the game on Apple TV, where last year you could not on NFLReplay.

Moose Johnson stated after the failed 4th – 1 (paraphrasing) that he didn’t like shotgun formation runs on 4th and s… should have had QB lined up under center…..

Ironically, on the 4th qtr game tying TD drive by Foles, the Rams ran a very similar play on 3rd – 1 with Benny Cunningham and it worked to move the chains….

3-1-STL 25
(3:49) (Shotgun) 36-B.Cunningham right tackle to STL 28 for 3 yards

interesting article by Thomas…

Rams defense played pretty good… only allowed 1 TD, and three FGs…. (Foles’ fumble for a Seat TD return and Punt return were the Seattle’s other TDs….

I think everyone is done with Pead, another critical game turning fumble…. . I agree, once Gurley starts, Pead is gone….I’m still bitter about his Kick Off return fumble in SF that resulted in the 24-24 OT tie game.

Highest opening day passer rating since Jim Everett (Chuck Knox II era)… Rams won 31-27 vs TB that game, but finished 6-10 that season.

Highest rating since Bradford’s 117 in DC….. Coincidentally Foles and the RAMS play in DC this week, where Foles had his lowest QB rating (40) as a pro…..

I was surprised how bad Bridgewater looked and surprised that Norv Turner did not involve Adrian Peterson in the 1st few series of the game…..

i think what this games shows is that the Rams can win with a capable QB… For the past 2 seasons, the Rams have not had consistency from Hill, Davis or Clemmens….

the pass to Bailey in OT was money, over Richard Sherman…..

Foles Game Logs vs DC Washingtonians…. he’s 0-1 in DC….

Tom Morello is a Rams fan

“”””””Well yeah Fuck the Patriots and all,
but seems to me what beat the Rams
was Kurt getting hit and throwing to Ty Law
for the huge-pick-Six, and then
Proehl fumbling what would have been a big play.
Ya know.

Spying or no-spying, you cant give the ball to the Pats.”””””

Turnovers are easier to come by when YOU KNOW WHAT PLAY IS BEING CALLED AND BEING RUN!!!!!

Patriots = hulk hogan and NFL = WWE

I’m so disgusted with the lesgue right now for stuff that I have suspected since the Tuck Rule…

you’re on the FF draft clock…… you need a QB…Big Ben, Flat balls, Flacco, A-Rod are taken….. Foles or Bradford? No brainer……

I haven’t been this shocked since the Dickerson trade on Halloween….

Laram

Just unbelievable that an NFL HC with experience would do this.

I’ve seen (I know you have as well) o-lines with a positional strength on one side or the other, cover-up deficiencies.

This line has weak links all over. I dunno how you mask them, and I certainly don’t think that Bouds is the guy to do it.

I can’t point to one area of strength on this line. If Saffold could stay on the field I could identify him, but we’ve seen enough to know he can’t.

GRob’s development is concerning. I had concerns when he came out, but said that if Bouds felt they were correctable, he would be a good pick.

Well..I’m not seeing the improvement there yet. Will he ever develop into a top level LT?

Barrett Jones and Rob Havenstein are both train wrecks. Jones no power or athleticism, Havenstein, slow feet, no lateral quickness and a waste bender.

They have about 7-8 games I believe against 34 defenses. A defender on the nose and teams running 3-4 Eagle fronts, they won’t have any idea what to do with that.

This is a disaster man. Just really sickening.

It’s always fun to read LARAM’s take on the team…

I know Fisher knows that the o-line needs work, but does he know what it takes to get it better? Do the Rams have a plan to get there…. It’s a been a problem for many seasons……..let’s hope that Havenstein’s feet get quicker…..

most people will say….., “music started to suck in 19XX” XX = your HS year of graduation.

I had 2 older brothers that exposed me to a lot of music as a kid (6 years and 12 years older than I) From Elvis, Rolling Stones, the British invasion, Rare Earth, Motown, to Santana to KC and the Sunshine band, etc….

however, When I was 15, I bought this Van Halen 8 track tape just because of the Kinks cover tune of “You Really Got Me” then I heard this …i still remember, it’s the 1st song of track 2……it struck a musical chord in me that blew me away…… to this day, this is still on of my favorite all time songs….

He took over a disaster – worse than an expansion team. They “should” take a step forward this year, but even if they don’t Fisher ain’t going anywhere until the stadium/moving issue is resolved. He has another 2 seasons before his seat even gets warm I would think. Plus, I get the sense he would really have to bungle things for SK to make a move – he wants that Pats/Billicheat stability.

Me? I have warmed up to Fisher. I think he will have success either this year or next year. The Rams are well positioned to have sustained success.

I agree…Stan likes coaching stability……

Stan owns both the Denver Nuggets and Arsenal from UK Soccer… his soccer team has had the same manager since 1996…..

Nuggets had George Karl as coach for 9 seasons before canning him….

I think part of the reason Fisher was hired was based on his relocation experience with the Oilers to Tenn along with the stability he brought with the Oilers / Titans…..

Me, I wish the Rams hired Marty Schottenhiemer rather than Fisher…. I’m ok with Fisher, but I’d take Haslett, Marty Ball, or Jack Del Rio back in 2012 over Fisher…..

I liked Keenum, Mannion and Watts

I want to see Gurley…

that was a good report by rabblerousr, but he is no Mike Franke…….

7. With so many starters out in the secondary for the Cowboys, the biggest battle in 1-on-1 drills was cornerback Morris Claiborne against Rams receiver Kenny Britt. Britt easily won three of the four matchups with Claiborne batting down one pass.

I hope Foles can gel with Britt… I think Britt is underrated.. I wish Bradford had more time with him…..
