joemadParticipanthow can anyone be surprised based on the events of the game?
1) your 2nd string QB and defense kept the game close for 2 quarters… the pick before half wasn’t Shotty’s fault, very dumb pass by a journeyman back up… it happens.
2) your 3rd string QB came in and played like a 3rd stringer.
3) what do you want Schotty to call with a 3rd string QB trying to play catch up with the youngest team in the league? Is it Shotty’s fault that his 3rd string QB threw a pick 6 when they drove downfield to close the gap?It’s gonna be like last season….a QB with not much starting experience will gain experience and gel mid to late season with some competitive games.
joemadParticipantDid Hill get injured on the play when he threw the pick or did the injury happen on a different play?
Hindsight is 20/20… should’ve taken a knee to end the half. That play was piviotal as was the injury.
joemadParticipantsame here…I hope he’s MVP for L.A. next year.

10:20 pm Arizona Cardinals Arizona Cardinals 23 – San Diego Chargers 20joemadParticipantI just keep coming back to the fact that the Raiders came and went from LA, the Rams left LA, meaning that the city has had a hard time keeping an NFL franchise there. I really don’t know what has changed in LA over the last 20 years to make a team want to move there, pay relocation fees (I think this still exists), build a stadium and start over with a new fan base. I simply don’t take the LA market as sure thing for the NFL otherwise a team would have moved there long ago.
consider the NFL ownership groups that left LA, Al Davis and Georgia F.
The LA market would support a team, it did in the past before the Raiders moved to LA from Oakland.
College football has consistently done well there and when the RAMS were the only show in town, they did too.
joemadParticipantI want to see more of Gilbert at QB today, big kid, same size as Bradford.
BTW, … his dad was a decent QB at Cal….. they beat Elway in that crazy kick off return Stanford band play……..
joemadParticipantI predict 6-10.
As good and solid as Stacy was last year with the running game and how good the defensive line can be, the RAMS need to stop to the run and they haven’t in years. Also, with a QB like Shawn that doesn’t have the arm strength or accuracy like Bradford, the margin of error in all phases need to be minimal…. this team seems to get flagged a lot.
I still haven’t forgotten the back-to-back games against Dallas and SF last year… that was ugly, and that had nothing to do with Sam Bradford, and he played in those games.
the RAMS do start off with a soft schedule and can gain some momentum for the season.
one of the many things I like and seen about Fisher is he game plans well for the entire season and gets the most from his young squad and With Clemmens, I was surprised they finished 7-9 last year.
joemadParticipantthe differences are:
1) Dolphins were reigning 1971 AFC Champions when Earl Morral took over the team from Greise in 1972
2) Earl Morrall was Super Bowl III QB that was groomed by Johnny U.The RAMS are reigning division cellar dwellers and Shawn Hill was not groomed by anyone close to Johnny U.
joemadParticipantc’mon Grits, no faith in Garrett Gilbert as the long term answer?
joemadParticipantChris Long is cool…..
what a stupid report about shower habits…
August 25, 2014 at 12:12 pm in reply to: for those who are arguing Rams shoulda drafted a qb high #5043joemadParticipantCorrect, Andrew Luck is a once in a generation QB……
No 1st rounder from 2014 would’ve helped the RAMS this season………. Rams did the optimal thing this offseason with Bradford…. I assume they’ll do the same next year.
I really feel for Sam….. real bummed for him.
Sadly, He’s become the Sam Bowie of the NFL……
joemadParticipant@caplannfl: Shaun Hill is the only QB remaining on the #Rams roster who has started a game (26 in career).

Michael Sam draws the ire of Coach Gregg….#ramscampAre implying the “IRE” as in a Rastafarian from Jamaica… Or “Ire” as in a pissed off NFL coach?
August 19, 2014 at 12:47 am in reply to: Tavon's plays were not spectactular Saturday but, they were solid #4359joemadParticipantRams led the league in dropped passes 2013. Tavon had the most drops on the team.
He better learn how to catch

August 15, 2014 at 3:59 pm in reply to: Greg Cosell on Manzeil, Bortles, Bridgewater… (transcript + audio) #4062joemadParticipantI heard Cosell on local sports talk radio yesterday. basically what was shared on WV’s post from RFIP, no patience in the pocket, lousy progression readys, doesn’t see open receivers.
joemadParticipantHobood Chittick and Greg Robinson chat with Jimmy!
Looks like SB8 will get some serious play time this week…. can’t wait to see the knee brace in action….. i’d like to see Stedman Bailey get some more action.
BTW, thanks for posting, that was fun to read.
August 12, 2014 at 3:40 pm in reply to: after 1 pre-s. game & all the camp reports what are the concerns v. good omens? #3860joemadParticipantin the Saints game, I liked WR S. Bailey a lot, QB Shaun Hill, RB Benny Cunningham, the starting D-Line with the quick T.O..
didn’t like Greg’s kicking accuracy and the penalties….
joemadParticipantBowman with a bum knee and Aldon out half the season…. some serious kinks in the SF D.
joemadParticipantdo you guys remember that poster at the dawn of the public internet on the old blue and white Post Dispatch Rams Message board during the Tony Banks era …..the poster would simply reply….. “I totally agree”
Grits, “I totally Agree” with you post

joemadParticipantMac I hope you get better soon… Migraines can be hell….. i’m lucky that I found the right cocktail from my Dr. to prevent them…… I still get them, but nearly not as often.
Get well soon….
August 5, 2014 at 4:05 pm in reply to: Levi Stadium kinda sucks. "49ers' New Football Stadium Is a Dud" #3357joemadParticipantyou’re better off walking from N. 1st and 87. …… my tix include the parking pass at the tailgating lot…. I might sell the parking pass and walk from my brother’s house on the San Tomas Creek trail. All those small tech companies around the stadium will result in small gold mine for parking….
we’re in lower level sec 142, 27 rows from the field.
joemadParticipantthis was a great report to read… thanks for sharing.
joemadParticipantback in 94 when talks of the RAMS leaving So Cal for Baltimore, Hartford or STL…. I remember thinking team value in these smaller markets…… no way that the RAMS would be worth more in the long term in these markets… that’s why I thought the RAMS would never leave So Cal for these markets….
Nonetheless…..Stan was instrumental in getting the RAMS to move to STL rather than Balt or Hartford………. not sure if Stan wanted a team in STL, or if he was looking long term for sole NFL ownership of the team, or both….. Congratss to Georgia and Shaw for stuffin their own pockets with a short term business plan.
Stan’s M.O. in team ownership with the Arsenal and The Nuggets is owning the venue that the team plays in.. If the CVC is broke, I would think STL is open to Stan owning the venue……… Despite Stan buying land in So Cal, i’m not sure if LA or the NFL is open to venue ownership in So Cal as Stan has with the Arsenal and Nuggets.
So Cal needs to lure and continue to sell the market value of having an NFL team in LA to Stan and allow Stan to own the facility for his RAMS to play in. …i’m not sure So Cal can group and ralley the local city entities to do that….
I think most business minded folks would see the benefits of having an NFL team in the 2nd largest market in the country opposed the 18th market, but it depends how motivated these places are to lure or to keep Stan.
joemadParticipantWeber’s kick ass.. I own 4 of them.
1) the Weber Genesis B, …..my go-to grill…..I’ve had it since about 1998… we BBQ a lot….used it last night to grill halibut…..it still works killer, have only replaced the igniter and flavor bars… . despite hours and hours of grilling, it still has the original porcelain grates.
2) 22″ Weber charcoal grill, I’ve had it since 1996….. I use only Kingsford briquets with NO Lighter fuel… strictly lit with a coal chimney starter using newspaper. (I’ve found that lighter fuel gives me migraines) Every Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey that I’ve cooked since 1997 has been grilled on this baby……I want to replace this grill soon only because I want a newer model with the “one touch cleaning” thing on the bottom of the grill.
3) The Go Anywhere Gas grill, this little baby is very underrated.. great little grill that I use for camping or small cook outs
4) the little Smokey Joe… I rarely us this thing, primarily used by the kids for ‘smores or when I need additional grill space.BTW, Every Labor Day and Memorial Day weekend, Home Depot has a killer price on BBQ charcoal….. 2 20lbs Kingsford bags for 11.99 for you charcoal guys, make sure you stock up for winter this Labor Day…
July 23, 2014 at 8:05 pm in reply to: NFL network schedule: highlights of the St. Louis Rams' 2013 season #2370joemadParticipant5PM and 9 PM tonight for us westerners…… thanks for posting this….
