I can understand some 9er fans not respecting the Rams but what is it about their team that they like? Why do I see posts full of optimism and hope?

Do they not realize who and what they are and who and what they root for?

It’s hard to know what can be laid at his feet. You mentioned how he outcoached Harbaugh and Carroll and beat them with lesser talent. However, he’ll immediately follow up a big victory with a big loss to a team with lesser talent.

But is that on him, or just the nature of a young team with QB issues?

I think it’s difficult to win in this league without a QB and Fisher has had to contend with QB issues from the beginning. He wasn’t to blame for the QB situation until he brought in Foles and even people who didn’t like the trade didn’t foresee that catastrophic meltdown coming. If the Rams had just got average play out of Foles they would have won 10 games last year.

The penalties are a tangible thing you can point to as a weakness. His team’s lack discipline and that’s on him. I’m not sure he considers that a weakness though. He likes his teams to be a little chippy.

And another thing. Photo Synthesis — If mums and other screaming flowers, eat light, then why doesn’t it get darker and darker as more and more flowers eat more and more light?

Maybe its a good thing to run over mums. More light for the rest of us.

Science tells us that as flowers consume the light the sun gets dimmer and dimmer until there is nothing but darkness. The technical term for this is “night” which is short for “no light”. Having consumed all of the sun’s light the flowers enter a state of dormancy in which their voracious appetite for light is temporarily abated. This allows the sun to recharge unmolested. As the sun grows brighter a phenomenon known as ‘day’ occurs and the cycle repeats itself as it has since the beginning of time 6000 years ago.

According to the NCS (National Chrysanthemum Society)- widely regarded as the leading experts on the sunlight requirements of mums and other mum-like plants (mumanoids), those mums you bought only require 3 hours of direct sun per day.

Your mums were in no immediate danger in the shade. As a matter of fact, they weren’t in any danger at all until you carelessly placed them behind the wheels of your car. Ironic how your desperation to save the mums actually led to their demise. Poetic, huh?

Oh how they must have screamed in terror and pain as your 2 ton deathwagon slowly backed over them. I’m just glad flowers scream at decibel levels inaudible to the human ear. At least the neighborhood children were spared a lifetime of night terrors from the tortured shrieks you squeezed from the mums as you crushed them with your car.

It was a wood furnace located in the basement. When the furnace reached a certain temp fans would kick on and blow the hot air through ducts to the rooms upstairs. Eventually I quit burning because it wasn’t saving me any money. I couldn’t buy the wood by the tri-axle load because there was no room for the truck to dump it so I had to buy it by the cord which at the time was $70.00. So heating my house cost about $140.00/month – the same cost as heating with electric as it turned out only I didn’t have to get up at 5 am to stoke the furnace.

So now Bradford has reached the point where he is switching offensive systems…in week 1. Used to be, he had to wait till the off-season to switch systems.

So does that mean teams dont think he’s that good, coz they keep trading him…
or does that mean teams do think he’s good, coz they keep trading For him ??

He’s an enigma. Or not. I dunno.

Goff or Bradford — which would yall take. Straight up.

I’d take Goff. I think he will turn out to be better.

One thing Bradford wasn’t that I think (hope) Goff is, is someone who can adlib and turn a busted play into a positive. Bradford wasn’t much of a an improviser – which is ok – he has other skills, but I picture Goff as a QB that can move around well, buy time, throw on the run…be creative when he needs to be.

Sheesh.

Mike Quick must have photos of Jeff Fisher cheating on his wife or dismembering a body or something. Photos that will automatically be forwarded to the authorities should any harm befall him.

How else does he continue to make this roster when potentially good players get cut? Roberson, Kush, Fox, Bryant…

14 – 2 with Ray Agnew.

I wonder how much coming from a spread offense is holding him back? I’m no expert on spread offenses but from what I hear they are as different from a pro-style offense (as far as what’s expected of the QB) as apples are from bowling balls.

My understanding is spread QB’s don’t have to read defenses. They don’t know anything about different defensive alignments and they don’t even know standard terminology like “over” vs “under” defensive alignments. So when an NFL team drafts a spread QB they are starting from scratch. They have to learn all the basics before they can begin to understand the complexities of the NFL system. I think on Hard Knocks one of the coaches mentioned Goff never even called a play in the huddle.

Anyway, it’s no wonder Goff hasn’t quite progressed as far as we hoped.

26 times? Wow. Not bad.

Of course it doesn’t come close to the astounding 88 times Reagan uttered “I don’t recall” or “I can’t remember” during the Iran-Contra hearings but all in all, not a bad effort.

I liked Seau as a pass rusher. Hope they can sign him to the practice squad.
