Really? Colt McCoy?

I think this Rams D-Line would like to beat that dead horse…

CwutIdidthar?

I watch every game and root til the end. Short of the bad calls, the explanations sound reasonable for why the Rams haven’t achieved. Doesn’t mean I accept it, but if this D is complicated and young people start executing later this season, then I see serious hope for the future.

I love the trade at this point…

Barron is a hitter and this defense needs guys who can blitz and hit. McLeod can hit, but he can’t blitz worth a lick.

Right… because former players couldn’t possibly have a better clue into the pressures of being a young, angry football player.

Better leave it to some prosperity preacher who’s got an in with the owner of the club, cuz… that’s a better answer.

It’s very clear that Ogletree isn’t getting this Defense…

If between Davis and Bradford we don’t go for a QB in the first round, I really hope we go for another OL in the first round if one’s worth it…

I also hope Barrett Jones gets his shot. I think he’s about due and should be ready shortly.

Where do I stand? Three feet behind and slightly to the left.

Oh. And Austin Davis is a starting caliber QB that just needs to learn more as a starter.

After the loss at home, there’s no way the Seahawks will fall 1.5 games behind in the division…to the Rams.

Not even if Kurt Warner arrived on a Lightning Bolt with Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce by his side…

Well, that and the blatant bias the Refs are showing.

I just can’t get past that. Quinn is held on every play including the 80yd TD. I just saw a pic showing Staley held him…badly. Almost a bad a hold as the Langford takedown on the Dez Bryant TD.

No team is going to overcome that level of bias. So, unless something changes in that regard the Rams are peeing into the wind no matter what they do.

What’s that phrase? Just because I seem paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t really out to get me…

Sure, I agree that the Rams have a fragile psyche right now. However, they may also seem to be responding to the rather obvious bias that they also see and feel that once that first really bad call comes, that they KNOW a bunch more will come that allows the opponent to score dozens of unanswered points. It’s starting to feel inevitable. And that has to SUCK to feel that inevitability as a player.

How must Robert Quinn feel to beat his guy on almost every play and KNOW that he’s not gotten a holding call in what? 300 snaps? is that even possible that he’s not been held ONCE in 300 snaps???

I agreed with him. I think he’s right on…

If ever there was a time to fire Gregg Williams and get back to fundamental Defense…NOW is it!!!

I bet that would change things in a hurry. No sacks? Really? We get no sacks because we don’t cover short routes!!! Which leads to QBs hitting all those short passes. What other D plays SO SOFT all the damn time???

Home teams were 9-3-1 this week. That includes teams like Seattle losing, but it was to Dallas.

And I wasn’t at ALL surprised to hear and read people say that the NFL “needs” teams like Dallas to be good. What a crock of shit.

So, the NFL doesn’t “need” New York to be good? It’s not a bigger media market than Dallas? Chicago doesn’t “need” to be good?

I’d be THRILLED…all caps, bolded, underlined, extra large type… with orchestral fanfare… if the Rams could pull out the win.

I don’t even really care how (other than cheating). Don’t want that.

Agree on Davis being better against pressure.

Rams need to stop the run.

Rams need to form a pocket!!! Under Williams, the DL has a HORRIBLE habit of both the DEs and DTs of getting upfield creating a big hole for the QB to step up and either throw or run. That’s DEATH against this 49er team. Our previous DL calls always had a pocket. It’s part of why Quinn was able to get to the QB. Now, Quinn has no chance because QBs have so many places to go without a pocket collapsing… So… make a damn pocket and keep Kap IN IT!!!

Rams need to run the ball. Plenty of runs up the middle to keep those LBs biting. They Rams may not gain a ton of yards, but the point is to open things up for the play action pass. 49er LBs are blood thirsty and love stuffing the run. They tend to bite, so give them bait…

Maintain lanes on returns. Whether it’s on coverage or returns, guys need to avoid penalties and maintain their lanes. Whoever is returning kicks needs to come out strong and quick with the intention of gaining yards. Everyone who’s done it has been horribly tentative and the Rams can’t lose the battle of field position with this defense.

And what coach have you ever known who came out and said “we’re going nowhere fast”? It would be absolutely the worst thing a coach COULD do under these circumstances.

Tampa Bay Buccaneer HC John McKay.

His quotes are legion and his brutal honesty will never be matched.

If you’re gonna ask a question…

After a particularly bad loss, Coach McKay was asked about his team’s execution.

Coach McKay’s response, “I’m all for it.”

McLeod’s bonehead play doesn’t matter if they call that hold on Langford.

Several of the calls changed field position for us by dozens of yards in one chunk or gave Dallas points.

We played well enough to win straight up. We didn’t play well enough to win in the face of really biased officiating.

And I really don’t see that any team SHOULD have to win a war on two fronts…

Expecting the Rams to beat the officials AND the Cowboys is asking too much. What’s to say that more flags wouldn’t have been thrown in the face of greater success?

Just look at the Raider game. Raiders swam upstream like a salmon and punched it in on the goal line and the refs called a perfect pancake block by their LG a hold… and the Pats won. Raiders were dealing with the same garbage all game and it didn’t matter.

More and more there are teams that are playing well enough to win straight up, but NOT well enough to beat the refs also.

The difference now is that there are more tools than ever to capture every last mistake and to SHOW how blatant this stuff is.

It’s not a mistake to miss that hold on Langford. You don’t MISS a 320 lb, 6’5″ man being thrown to the ground less than 20 feet from you. I categorically deny that as a possibility.
