Two great QBs in yesterday’s games,
one very good QB,
and one good QB.Rogers, Brady,
Palmer,
Smith.No Keenums.
w
vAnd today we have Wilsons, Mannings, Roethlesbergers and Newtons.
Still no Keenums.
Maybe next week?
Rodgers throws his 2nd successful hail mary of the season.
Would you rather be lucky or good? How about both?
Ya know, this Rodgers kid just might have a future in this league. I think the Rams should make a trade for him before the Packers realize what they have.
Offer Foles and a 7th rounder to start and go from there.
L.A. story? Kurt Warner having trouble making that connection
http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/st-louis-rams-kurt-warner-no-connection-los-angeles-011416
Kurt Warner was the unlikely star during the greatest stretch in the 21-year history of the St. Louis Rams.
A two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner admitted he’s having trouble wrapping his head around the idea that if the franchise ever decided to retire his number, it will occur in Los Angeles.
“I definitely don’t associate myself with the L.A. Rams … it will be something that I’m completely unfamiliar with from the organization,” Warner told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. “I’m very interested in seeing how this all plays out and how you feel as a member of the Rams family, but a member of somewhere else and something different — how that feels and what that looks like going forward.”
Warner not only guided St. Louis to its only Super Bowl title following the 1999 season, but he was at the controls of an offensive juggernaut that produced record-setting numbers from 1999-2001 and earned the moniker “The Greatest Show on Turf.”
The wide-open, high-powered attack had enormous appeal on its own, but St. Louis fans were further capivated by storybook career of Warner, who went from stocking shelves in a supermarket to stints in the Arena Football League and NFL Europe before winding up as the Rams’ surprise starter in the Super Bowl season following an injury to Trent Green.
“It’s just kind of a weird feeling to think that a huge part of my career and some great memeories were established in St. Louis and now I will probably never go back to see another Rams game in St. Louis and be a part of that,” Warner said. “It will be strange.”
I remember former LA players like Dennis Harrah and Jack Youngblood said the same sorta things when the Rams left LA. Youngblood eventually came around and accepted St. Louis. Hopefully Warner and the other St. Louis greats will do the same.
Unsubstantiated comments from reporters bug me…
The Foles trade put Les Snead, in his fourth year as Rams general manager, on shakier ground.
Says who? Did you talk to someone in the organization who told you Snead could be in trouble? No, you didn’t because if you had you would have mentioned it. For all you know they’re working on extending him.
Eeeesh…
My own personal feeling? …I grew up
watching the old blue-and-white Rams in LA.
The team in St.Louis wore red. And i liked the Cardinals
but they weren’t the Rams.When i see the old Blue and White uniforms
i get the same feeling as when i open an old box
of Christmas cards that my mom has saved. Its like that.
Warm feelings. Childhood memories. Thats how i feel
when i see the blue and whites.So, I’m glad they are returning to Los Angeles;
I KNOW now, finally, they will wear the blue and whites
from time to time. I really thought i’d never see that again.I have so many warm and poignant memories — Jack Snow, Les Josephson,
Deacon/Merlin (thats one word btw :),
Youngbloods, George Allen, Cullen Bryant, Alvin Hammond, Bob Brown,
McCutcheon, Slater, Diron Talbot, Coy Bacon, Billy Waddy, Ferragamo’s pass, Prothro, Knox, Harold Jackson, The Vikings, Joe Kapp, The Cowboys, Staubach, The 49ers, Brodie…the St.Louis thing, just never ever felt quite right to me. Deep down it always felt a bit off….…I know some of the St.Louis fans will stop following the team
and to state the obvious, thats fine. Everyone feels
‘connections’ to different things — some folks feel connected
to the city, some to the players, some to a coach, some to
the uniforms, etc. There’s no right or wrong to any of that,
obviously.As for me…my own totally-subjective-irrational-feeling is…
…the Rams belong in blue and whites, in Los Angeles.
…and the red and white Cardinals belong in St.Louis.
Or maybe the Stallions belong in St.Louis. Something
belongs in St.Louis.Georgia was a dick. Kronky is a dick. The NFL is a
soul-less-corporation. The ‘game’
and the conversation with the posters, about the game,
is still fun for me.Back to Los Angeles. I like it. I’ll still be living out
the questions and throw’in things at the tv
in West, by god, Virginia

Someone posted this on youtube :
<iframe width=”690″ height=”388″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/xJ0Dqn4eI5E?feature=oembed” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=””></iframe>I sorta feel the same way you do. I like the city of St. Louis a lot and I like the fans from there that I’ve gotten to know over the years. I would have been fine with a vote that would have kept the Rams in St. Louis. But to me, LA is where the Rams belong. It has more of a connection to the deep history of the team and that’s really important to me.
Well the Burfict hit was just
one of those bang-bang plays. They happen,
when yer flyin around out there.I disagree about the Burfict hit. He was head-hunting.
Well what makes you think that?

To me, when I watch the video it is apparent that Burfict could have held up. He also lowers his shoulder and appears to target the head of the receiver.
