MackeyserModerator
I still believe we can do a complete 180 turn around….but I am also perplexed at the lack of readiness of this team.
Well, let’s just hope we don’t get overzealous and do a 360…

MackeyserModeratorthat’s great stuff…LOL.

September 8, 2014 at 6:55 pm in reply to: Ray Rice suspended cut by Ravens, Suspended indefinitely by NFL #6665MackeyserModeratorMy statement on this is pretty simple.
Ray Rice is a real piece of shit. After seeing what he did, the idea that he had the temerity to show his face in public and use passive language to describe that assault is almost as offensive as the assault.
Roger Goodell is also a real piece of shit. What did he think happened on that elevator??? Ray Rice knocked her UNCONSCIOUS with his morning breath??? I’m glad he’s learning about this and making the effort to get educated. That he is as far along as he is and as uneducated and defended his ignorance for as long as he did is just incomprehensible. In banning Ray Rice for a year, I really hope Roger Goodell brings forth some more mea culpas. No, I don’t think he’s nearly given enough. Not nearly…

MackeyserModeratorI thought I posted this, but someone from ROD posted that they were at the game and saw Shaun Hill leaving the game heading to his car and he was limping quite badly.

MackeyserModeratorWell, so here’s a question… what if the MRI comes back and the Quad injury means Hill is out for 4-6 weeks?
It’s one thing to say, “well, it was because of Davis…we looked good with Hill…” and I buy that…kinda. I can sorta buy that the Rams can get right with Hill…maybe.
But how do the Rams get right if Hill is out for a few games?
Start Keenum?
I honestly don’t know the answer to this, but it sure isn’t an extra dose of Austin Davis…

MackeyserModeratorI dunno if you can definitively say that Hill was mad at being demoted or mad that “man, I FINALLY get back to being a starter and I get ONE FREAKIN’ HALF before I get a quad? WTF???”
It’s possible it could be any number of things. And… Fisher’s not Belichek. He’s never been shy about talking about “football decisions”.

September 7, 2014 at 6:03 pm in reply to: Jim Harbaugh losing San Francisco 49ers' locker room? #6453MackeyserModeratorCan Fisher lose the Rams locker room and can the Rams be that “distracted”??? Soon?

MackeyserModeratorGive it a few weeks.
Lord, I hope I’m wrong.
But, ya know…scoreboard.
I was wrong about Michael Sam. He made a Practice Squad, so I’m not prescient. Then again, if I were, Sam would have made the Rams and we’d be 13-3, so not sure where I was going with that…
oh, yeah. We’ll get a better feel for the temperature of Fisher’s seat at the bye if not before then. If we get blown out at Tampa, the seat will already be hotter…
The Rams need to play substantially better.

September 6, 2014 at 9:02 pm in reply to: Report I saw on Herd board says Raiders close to a deal in Oakland #6348MackeyserModeratorThis is GRITS’ issue. I don’t take it personally. I think with all the stadium situations getting resolved, it’s why LA has gotten an executive assigned to it by the NFL. Without LA as much of a bargaining chip for multiple teams, it’s really just vast wealth going untapped.

MackeyserModeratorBut, but, but…we have NINE DL.
I prefer…the Notorious Nine, but that sounds like a rap group from the Early 80s, like the Treacherous Three or the Furious Five (actual Rap Groups, btw, seminal in the genre).
That said, I agree, anything with Sack, other than NY Giants’ Sack Exchange, can evoke “suck” if the Rams aren’t on the top of their game.
Our Defense? Horns of a Dilemma! Who do you block? How do you stop them!

MackeyserModeratorSack City? That’s the worst name for a defense…ever.
Does that make female fans, #bagladies? turrible…
We need to help the Rams find a new name for this defense…Pronto!

September 6, 2014 at 3:42 pm in reply to: how much you want to bet that Stacy is actually better than Cunningham #6325MackeyserModeratorthe OL in the pre-season didn’t give ZS much room and even Barry Sanders needed the OL do block for him…occasionally. The 1st string OL with Saffold AND Joseph at guard will be a formidable tandem in the run game and Stacy should be able to run as we’ve seen him.

September 6, 2014 at 3:39 pm in reply to: If the Rams offense can have an effective passing game and put at least 25 point #6324MackeyserModeratorI agree. I mean if Quick and Britt just play like they did in Preseason, then that allows Austin to do SO MUCH MORE than he could last year (other than the one man show he put on in Miami). And with Bailey improving as well…oof.
Makes it hurt that much more for Bradford, but instills that much more confidence in Shaun Hill.
So, yeah, I really do see the Rams being able to score 25 a game.

MackeyserModeratorListen here, PA. You can’t humbug Monty Python. That’s some kind of sacrilege or something.
And…I’ll have you know, I’m not really being a pollyanna.
You wanna know the truth?

MackeyserModeratorWhy am I surprised that reporters don’t have the background that we do? I don’t know who asked the question, but when I was 10 years old, I loved…LOVED baseball and knew the starting lineup and the starting rotations of every team in the league. So, I still just can’t figure how a sports reporter who is meant to cover a sport can’t quickly do some background and not ask really asinine questions.
I just don’t get it. That answer was on ESPN stats, fer cryin out loud. 30 seconds on his/her iPhone or Droid would have been enough to know the answer. I’m specifically referring to the reporter asking about the “first opening day?” question. smh

Crass, too true. But black humor plagues me today.

MackeyserModeratorI’ll worry about reality IFF…IFF the Vikes somehow beat us on Sunday.
Until then, I’m sticking to my 13-3.
Or I could be wrong.

September 3, 2014 at 1:12 am in reply to: ESPN's Power Rankings: No. 24 St. Louis Rams/Wagoner #5921MackeyserModeratorI love it. The league is underestimating us.
We’re poised to roflstomp the league in part because I really and truly think there will be teams and staffs that think like this. They’re human and part of these rankings are informed by interviewing league personnel and performing casual polling.
The idea that the Rams are thought of so casually is great for the Rams. It can take a full year for teams to really wrap their heads around that a team isn’t as weak as they thought…

MackeyserModeratorRead my post. I have enough confidence for both of us.
And I’m right so there…
I even parted my hair for this picture…

MackeyserModeratorPart of the reason I’m hopeful is that Fisher has that Cheshire cat grin about this season that he hasn’t had before. He KNOWS that his defense under Gregg Williams is about to be unleashed and they haven’t shown the league anything, yet.
With Bradford down, the league is counting the Rams out.
Frankly, I think the Rams defense is going to come out breathing fire. Moreover, I think Shaun Hill is a more emotional leader and that guys respond to him and he’ll lead this team with aplomb.

discouraging.

September 3, 2014 at 12:37 am in reply to: Of all 32 #NFL starting QBs: 17 were first-round picks #5914MackeyserModeratorSo, the moral of the story is get your QB in the 1st round or get ’em late and develop them?
Good to know…

MackeyserModeratorPart of me wanted to do that, but I just didn’t because… I’d just get too mad about it.
The adage holds true, “don’t ask a question you don’t want the answer to” and I already pretty much knew the answer. To KNOW the answer with actual players… well, that would make it harder, I think…

September 1, 2014 at 5:57 am in reply to: Rams Taking Talent to Another Level This Season/Karraker #5729MackeyserModeratorNow, why you tryin’ to make him say the I word… You know he can’t say it…

MackeyserModeratorAs I feared, the league doesn’t have room for Sam.
Now the “apology” stories are coming out about “but, but, but…it’s not over for Sam…don’t stop clicking on Michael Sam stories…” trying to say that practice squads are fluid and he could be picked up at any time.
All that’s true… in the abstract. Then again, so could Tim Tebow.
In reality, they both now seem to have about the same chance of making a squad.
Only, Michael Sam can play his position pretty well.
I found it fitting that Michael Sam sacked Johnny Manziel because he’s looked like the ultimate bust. Manziel’s probably going to break their hearts and get multiple chances in the league. I generally don’t play the “fair” card, but THAT’S just unfair…
