If some weird rule I’ve never heard of is the reason I wish they’d be specific and explain it.

Yeah, where’s the live feed to Mike Pereira at times like this, for an explanation ??? What the guy OUT of bounds is doing should have no bearing on what the guy IN bounds is doing. Weird call.

Didn’t see the whole game, only watched the 2nd half.
Loved the Blue & Whites, the gold stripe on the jerseys messed it up. Gotta be all Blue & White…
Score was close when I started watching, then SOSAR took over.
I’m not even sure why they even hand off to Gurley anymore. Waste of a freakin down.
At first, I wanted revenge after Sherman’s hit on Goff, but it was a legal hit. Goff needs to develop better awareness of where he is, at all times. He easily could had stepped out of bounds, and not taken that hit. Not sure what he was thinking, slowing up like that, no slide, no effort to get out of bounds. You gotta learn to protect yourself. There’s a good reason the good ones play many years without a lot of injuries.

Fisher’s failure to recognize and overcome the “Black Hole” created by Massey’s departure let the team continue in its death spiral, and eventually cost him his job.

Harbaugh is a jerk to EVERYONE

I want to win. In the worst way. Its been way too long. Not sure how I feel about winning with a douchebag at the helm, though.
I didn’t really like this current teams stupid chippiness. Not when it went as far as the Rams being referred to as dirty. I love hard hitting teams, don’t really like it when they play past the whistle, and get called for penalties which further hurt them. Especially when they were playing bad football. I didn’t like it when they were being jerks. I want them to win, and want to like how they do it.
Yeah, Harbaugh’s a Flamin A. Didn’t mean to imply that I think he coaches cheap shot players, that’s not what I meant. Just not sure of the inner warm and fuzzies with him.
Now, having said all that, there’s just no telling how forgetful I might get if Harbaugh were to become the new HC, and lead the team to a 14-2 regular season record. Shoot, I might even spring for a new pair of Khakis and a dark sweatshirt, in his honor.
It’s been a long, long, time…

And yes I think this year’s Patz can be beaten. Their defense isn’t better than the Rams defense this year. And Brady’s notorious weakness is a team capable of rushing him down after down.

As disappointing as this season has been, a win over the Pats would indeed bring a brief respite to my tormented existence.

Warner??? Bulger??? Not sure.

LOL, the last time I think I threw something at the TV was the Superbowl. I was convinced that the Titans were going to score, and so a bag of Doritos was thrown in utter disgust at the scene unfolding before my eyes. And then the tackle happened, and I happily and gratefully vacuumed up the mess.

Now, I just shake my head, and quietly shut the game off, upset with myself for investing yet another 3 hours of my time.

Well if you approach it that way, what are the Cardinals historically in terms of winning percentage?

Right now they’re 4-5-1 and lost to the Rams.

(Actually I looked it up, historically their winning percentage is 0.415).

That statement from Arians came after AZ beat STL on a Thurs night game, for their 11th win of 2014. They did so without Carson Palmer, and were able to finish out the game without #2, Drew Stanton, courtesy of an Aaron Donald hit, I believe. So, the Cards #3 got the job done, while the Rams went on to a 6 win season that year.
In the grander scheme of things, I suppose, nobody really looks at the overall history of a team when discussing them, you look at the here and now. And, yes, I see the Cards suck this year. Slight vindication there, but still bummed about 2016 Rams…
The post that WV put up just caught my eye, and made me think of the closeness to .500, or, 8-8. And, the quote. That’s all.
On another note, you mentioned that today was your day of celebrating Thanksgiving. Hope it’s a great one, and may the deli platter you assemble be the Mother of all Deli Platters…

I thought the momentum started to swing when Robinson got called for that stupid block in the back. Goff had just scrambled for a drive continuing first down, teammates were pumped on the sideline and there was a lot of positive confidence for the rookie to build on. But nope, Robinson decides to hit someone in the back that was no where near the play, and who had no chance at all of making a play. No first down, no more time off the clock, then the crap started happening. Missed FG, then the 4th quarter penalty fest.
Bad way to lose, hand the other team the game cause you lack discipline.

The worst that could happen is that he makes brutal mistakes that lead to headlines all over the place calling him a bust, and talking heads arrogantly piling on, and killing him and Fisher.

Well…he could throw 4 INT’s and have a couple of fumbles while holding on to it too long.

CK didn’t set the world on fire his last game but he did manage the game and kept away from the turnovers.

Hopefully he looks a lot different than he did in the pre-season.

As long as he achieves 3 FG’s with no TD’s, why should we care how he gets it done??? 😊😊😊

Just kidding, of course. I went into this season completely on board with Fishers plan to use CK as the starter, and slowly bring Goff along, as opposed to just tossing him to the wolves. I had seen enough of CK at the end of last year to at least have a good feeling going into this year that we would be good offensively. Not great, but at least good. I still havent seen or heard a good reason why this years O has been what it has been, but anything to light enough of a spark to keep fanbase excitement and also morale of the D intact has to be a good thing. I hate seeing quality players like this team has, having to put up with such minimal results. Not meant as a slam on CK, just a hope that Goff gets it going a bit better.

I guess thats two games where Ogletree sealed the win
with a late Turnover.

Still not many sacks for this D or turnovers.

The Rams are 2-0 when scoring no TDs and Ogletree gets a late game turnover.

Theres the argument for leaving Goff on the bench until he fully develops, huh? Quite a success formula.

Another nailbiter. Who woulda thunk it???

Agreed.

I just think a LOT of long-suffering-totally-frustrated ram-fans
are desperate to see some sort of ‘light’ for the future.
So they want to see the 21year-old Goff NOW.

I will agree with your agreement, and toss in the early success for Wentz and Prescott, which doubles the pain for Rams fans.
