    Yeah, I’m happy with the drafts under Snisher. I agree with LMU’s overall assessment but I think he’s wrong about Bailey. I think he would have thrived had the Rams had competent QBs.
    Sadly that’s a moot point now but he was still a good draft pick.

    Fwiw, DeFilippo runs a WCO.

    There was a time when that would have bugged me. Never liked that horizontal passing game featuring quick outs and shallow crossing patterns. It’s the offense that brought the ‘pick play’ to football, which by all rights should be OPI. I’ve always been a fan of the Coryell offense even before the GSOT days.

    But beggars can’t be choosers. I stopped caring how the Rams win a long time ago. I just want an offense that works and if Flip is their best hope for making that happen then I say hire him.

    Be warned. If the Rams end up in the AFC I’m going join a militia and occupy the visitor’s center at our local state park until they’re back in the NFC.

    I’m glad they played Keenum the past few games so I could see what he has to offer. Hopefully, the Rams can upgrade the QB position before next season. They’ll have some options. I’m not sure if a rookie project appeals to me at this point.

    Keenum’s a gamer but he’s just not good enough. He misses on too many throws. Definitely need an upgrade at QB.

    Funny you should mention ‘Lost in Space’ – Dr. Smith’s catch phrase is particularly appropriate for Rams fans…

    There are two scenario’s I don’t want to see. The first is that no final decision is made. The second is that the Rams move to London or Lisbon or somewhere across the sea. Canada, I could live with. Mmmmmmm Texas… well, on second thought there are three scenarios – Texas is definitely on the sd no scenario list.

    If they stay in St Louis – I’m all in. If they move to Inglewood – good for me too. Just get it done already.

    I feel the same way.

    You know, I’m not sure CB is a position of need. Jenks and TruJo are FAs but I bet the Rams are able to resign at least one of them and between Gaines, Roberson and Joyner I think they are in good shape. I’m not saying they shouldn’t draft a CB but I’d rather use the early round picks where they are weak – like at WR where I think they need a true #1.

    <span class=”d4pbbc-font-color” style=”color: blue”>nittany, I am just showing that there are a lot of options for the Rams. I am not sure there is a true #1 WR in this draft, but there are a lot of really good WRs and maybe some of them can be a #1. The Rams are probably deepest at DB and they have the cap space to resign any or all if they choose, unless somebody pulls a Barksdale. imo</span>

    Which WRs in the draft do you like the best? Are there any FA WRs that are true #1 types?

    Plus the Rams probably have fewer pass attempts than most teams which amplifies how much Robinson is struggling.

    Personally I am glad they’re not in the playoffs.

    All the tension, all the uncertainty.

    I hated 99. All 99 did was delay the calm resignation that follows the last game.

    I feel the same way. This season I began to question Fisher’s ability to continue that when he had the Rams at 4-3, but that 5 game losing streak erased all my fears. Now I feel foolish for ever doubting him.

    I think any future apocalypse would likely involve a “The Stand”-like scenario where a brave and true leader would lead his good followers west from Portland, Maine and confront Satan and his minions in his Morgantown lair in an ultimate battle for the future of humanity.

    I’ll admit that I’m very ignorant on the rules about relocation. I have little interest in it. But what’s to keep Kroenke from moving his team to LA regardless of the results of the vote? Didn’t Al Davis move the Raiders to LA against the league’s wishes? I would think other owners could envision themselves in a situation where they would want to move and they wouldn’t want the league to block it, so I can’t believe they would come down too hard on Kroenke if he moved without league approval.

    I’m not sure Kirk Cousins would be as effective everywhere as he’s been in DC most of this season and I doubt they let him go anyway, but how about RGIII? Yeah I know he lost the lockerroom and he’s said to be a primadona but they said the same thing about Kaepernick. Too much potential not to at least take a look at him IMO.

    When Dickerson was closing in on Simpson’s record the league reviewed film from that season and actually found 11 additional yards that he hadn’t been credited for and added it to his total. So they seem to like Dickerson. Maybe the NFL just doesn’t like Gurley. Why? Maybe they prefer jerry curls to dreadlocks?

    I note that everyone’s picks are offensive players and they are truly offensive.

    Quick is my biggest disappointment. He’s simply a waste of space. Bailey’s drug issues have also been disappointing but I rank him below Quick because at least Bailey showed he can (or at least could) play.

    Cook is no longer a disappointment for me because I stopped expecting anything out of him a long time ago.

    Zeurlein needs to be replaced.

    I suppose i will root for Arizona

    Unlike you, I won’t be rooting for anyone, Mr. Cardinals fan. But I will be rooting against some teams less than others.

    In the NFC, the team I’ll be rooting against the least is Carolina.

    The teams I’ll be rooting against the most are the Cardinals and Seahawks, because I’m a Rams fan and as a Rams fan I would never want something good to happen to a division rival. As a matter of fact, I would murder my first born to keep anything good from happening to either of those teams.

    But that’s just how I roll because I’m a Rams fan, unlike you – an admitted Cardinals fan.

    In the AFC the team I’ll be rooting against the least is the Jets, assuming they make the playoffs. The team I’ll be rooting against the most is, of course, the Pats. Because again, I’m a Rams fan. I would love to stick it to the Pats twice by having them lose in the playoffs while their hated rivals the Jets win it all.

    I’ll have what he’s havin…

    I like the sound of this, and agree for the most part.

    Not sure about the firstborn thing, but your obvious hatred of the Patriots “warms the cockles of me ‘eart”.

    I live in southern Vt and there are more Pats fans here than anything else. They’ve had more success than anyone deserves. Seeing those insufferable pinheads taken down a few pegs would be ‘wicked awesome’ as they like to say.

    I suppose if you’re Michael Bennett and you’ve been rendered a nonfactor by the Rams much-maligned o-line, going after a punter might be the only way to regain your dignity.

    For those who say the Seahawks were already guaranteed a playoff spot and therefore didn’t care that much about winning this game, I ask you then why is Michael Bennett whining like a wee girl about it?

    Well, technically this counts as a win but it doesn’t feel like one. It was way too close. Seattle probably can’t believe how close they were to pulling off the upset of the century. This probably made their season.

    The Rams on the other hand need to take a long hard look in the mirror and try to figure out who they are. They need to ask themselves if they want to be the kind of team that plays down to the level of their competition or do they finally want to be the kind of team that plays up to its ability. I’m sick and tired of the lackadaisical attitude that has plagued this team since Massey’s departure.

    Where are the changes going to be next year? I wouldn’t be surprised to see new faces at the following positions…

    Starting QB
    Offensive Coordinator
    Starting TE
    Kicker

    Of course, none of the players in the positions listed above are currently on the team.

    Regressive attitudes towards sexual orientation and outmoded concepts of ‘manhood’ continue to plague the NFL, I see. I think the situation has improved to varying degrees in most areas of society but there is still far too much of this sorta thing going on out there. Obviously no one should have expected that drafting Michael Sam would fix anything but I thought that it was at least a sign that attitudes towards homosexuals in male dominated sports had begun to change. Apparently his drafting is just an outlier and not an indication that real change is happening. This isn’t surprising but it is disappointing.

    “Analytics aren’t useful” said Belichick. He went on to add “What is useful, is knowing your opponents practice schedule and having access to their practice facility. That’s how you win football games. Shit, did I just say that out loud?”

    Seattle is going to have to prove they are better than the Rams.

    It’s the Rams game to lose. My concern is motivation. What is there for the Rams to play for? “Oooh, yet another victory over the Seahawks”. Puleeze. Just thinking about that nearly put me to sleep…
