wvParticipantFor-The-Love-Of-GOD-Can-The-Rams-Draft-A-Good-ROUTE-RUNNER
FTLOG-CRDAGR
I’m just going to keep repeating that
until it comes true…FTLOG-CRDAGR.w
vwvParticipant“…Gurley… was credited with 1,108 yards following the Seattle game, but a league review ruled that he fumbled at the 11-yard line in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks instead of the 9, thus subtracting two yards from his rushing total.”
More iron-clad proof,
the NFL hates the Rams.This aggression will not stand.
w
vwvParticipantWTF? Gurley is in a walking boot?
Damn, that should be the headline
in any story on Sunday’s game.How are the Rams gonna play
offense without Gurley?w
vwvParticipantSo when is the last time the Rams
won four in a row? I can’t remember.Fisher hasn’t done it as a Ram.
Spags didnt either, I don’t think.
Did Linehan?w
vwvParticipantFairly has had a lot of snaps during
this win streak hasn’t he?
He may be missed Sunday.w
vwvParticipantSo 2016 is gonna be a playoff year,
right?w
vwvParticipant<span class=”d4pbbc-font-color” style=”color: blue”>I always liked Kaepernik. He would be better than Foles. Do we have anybody who can catch his fast balls?</span>
I think you are confused about this whole
football thing — it is important
NOT to like 49ers.Think of them as big ugly Sperm
whales who attack innocent
defenseless Squids.w
vwvParticipantwhy does
the public want apocalyptic stuff these days?That’s a long story.
But it’s not the suits driving that. That’s actually popular in its own terms.
I might add, btw, that it’s not just film. And it’s all kinds of fiction, too. Young adult, mangas, comic books, popular fiction, and even high-brow fiction (McCarthy, The Road).
There’s lots of reasons for all of this.
BTW this is the 2ND era of popular interest in post-apocalyptic writing and film…the 1st was the 50s.
.
Well, i didn’t mean the suits were driving the issue, I mean
the suits probably took a lot of surveys and did focus groups and “figured out” that the public is in the mood for Apocalyptic stories.The fifties, I assume were about the threat of Nuk-u-lar war with
the Rooskies. But now, I’m guessing the fears are a little different.
Environmental and Social/Political collapse I spose.Anyway, I’m all for it. The Collapse I mean. I think the planet
needs a do-over. I’d like to see what the Dolphins would do
if they evolve a little bit more.w
vwvParticipantThe secondary has come of age, this year.
And Gaines is still an option next year.I sure hope they can keep JJ and TJ.
w
vwvParticipantI think i agree with CoachO.
The “personnel is limiting the game-plan” view
seems the ‘most likely’ to me.I think if Fisher had A.Rogers and
O’Dell Beckham and an experienced OLine,
we’d see him open it up more.w
vwvParticipantThe Rams’ DL has a knack for introducing QBs to “gravity.” Even if William Hayes is skeptical that gravity exists.
Well have you ever SEEN “gravity” ?
w
vSeriously?
What do you think keeps rainbows from floating away?
Pfft.
Mermaids hold’em down.
Maybe you are just a product
of that Cali-forn-I-A education system.So are they going to LA or not?
w
vwvParticipantThe Rams’ DL has a knack for introducing QBs to “gravity.” Even if William Hayes is skeptical that gravity exists.
Well have you ever SEEN “gravity” ?
w
vwvParticipantIt reminds me of BigFoot and Giant Squids and other things.
Are you saying the Rams offense reminds
you of a squid ?I dont see any reason to be casting
aspersions onto giant squids.w
vwvParticipantCook came to mind because they actually went out and paid a lot of money for him. Quick is a bad 2nd round pick, true. But, I never expected much from him.
I can’t think of a single defensive player who disappoints.
I was thinking about that too. This regime knows defense
and special teams.Offense though?
w
vwvParticipantditto
w
vwvParticipant“… started to doubt whether Kelly The Innovative Coach was quite smart enough to overcome Kelly The Personnel Demagogue.”
This will sound familiar
to ram fans.w
vwvParticipantStedman.
w
vwvParticipantSomethin about him reminds me of most
of the Olinemen on the 99 championship team.w
vwvParticipant“Rams will throw the game so that Niners keep Tomsula”
Man, there is some strange shit
that goes on in the minds
of human beings.
And probably Mermaids, too.w
vwvParticipantDoes the Universe want Fisher
to have Seven wins
or Eight wins.Who’s feeling lucky?
w
vwvParticipantI will say this—if William Hayes believes more in mermaids than dinosaurs I am NOT gonna be the one to tell him he’s wrong.
Nittany should do it. He’s a science geek. Let him explain it to Mr. Hayes.
Nittany? Heck Nittany is behind the conspiracy.
I bet Nittany is one of the ones going around
planting “dinosaur” bones in the ground.I have spoken to mermaids about this,
and they dont believe in dinosaurs either.
The Unicorns dont either.w
vwvParticipantHe won more games than Fisher.
w
vwvParticipantI loved it.
I can’t get enough of the Rams dominating the Seahawks. The Rams are in their heads now. They have no psychological advantage against the Rams heading into next year. To me, this win is about the Rams vs. the Seahawks. And, it’s oh so nice to see it go down like this. Domination in the trenches. Out-physicaling the physical ‘Hawks. We’re in their domes. No doubt. And, yes, the Seahawks wanted to win just as badly. This is THEIR turf. This is the home of the 12th Man. Nobody else wins here. They can’t let St. Louis, which has been successful upsetting Seattle in STL, come in there and win.
Yet, they did. And, that meant something to the Seahawks.
It also means that the Rams CAN score against a good team in difficult situations. This was not a great offensive effort, but it was an effective one. That started with the O-line, which gives me hope for next year.
Now, what we don’t know is if the Rams can win when there’s something truly on the line. They haven’t done that, yet. That needs to come next year. Has to. Must. No excuses. ABSOLUTELY no excuses next year. The Rams should have depth at key positions, including the O-line. They should have a good game manager QB, at the least. And, they should have a great D again.
Yes, I think there’s reason for optimism.
Much depends on Quinn though, imho.
Back surgery is very very tricky.
Can he work out? Will he be the same?
Will he be in pain from now on?Quinn is now a big question mark.
w
vwvParticipantI know one of the announcers said Fisher/Boras had “simplified” the third-down plays.
Whatever that means.
He narrowed them down to one simple goal: getting a 1st down.
BTW the Rams 3rd down conversions Sunday were at 41.6%. If it were that way the whole season Rams would be ranked 10th on 3rd down conversion rate.
Well, i dont know what he/you mean by that: “narrowed them down to one goal: getting a first down”
w
vwvParticipantA fine question. I wish I thought I knew the answer.
…Mainly I’d speculate Boras has simplified the running game and lets his blockers do what they’re better at.
–MikeI know one of the announcers said Fisher/Boras had “simplified” the third-down plays.
Whatever that means.
w
vwvParticipantI watched it on replay — I thought it was purty obvious
the Seahawks were flat in the first half — but they turned
it on furiously in the second half.I felt the rams ‘earned’ the win with the Key, gutty,
drive in the second half. The Rams offense just
bullied the Seahawk Defense, with the game on the line
and after the Seahawks had scored. They just bullied’em.
The OLine, and Gurley and Cunningham…and Barnes.Once again, the Rams “seem” poised to make
a playoff run…next year. Seems that way.
Again.w
vwvParticipant“douchecanoes” ?
w
vwvParticipantWell I’m fine with it, except for
GRob. He’s a big question mark to me.IF they dont draft a LT, I assume it means
they believe in him.The OLine looks ok to me in general.
They need a WR, TE, and QB.w

wvParticipantGo Giants.

vwvParticipantDoes 8-8
mean anything?The record stopped meaning anything after the Foles meltdown and the losing streak.
But. WINS mean something.
What do they mean? Well speaking only for myself, I like them.
I am not willing to get into a drawn out herd-style debate about whether I should like them. If someone like invader doesn’t because 8-8 isn;t good enough, I will raise my glass to him and nod because I get that. It’s just not how I feel though.
I like that the Rams were part of Upset Sunday this month. I like the fact that they took it to Seattle on the road. I like that they won in spite of not having Gaines, McDonald, Barron, Ogletree, and Quinn.
So you forgot to ask the REAL question. The really important question.
“What did this win mean to zn.”
It meant a lot. It was fun. Thanks for asking.
.
Ok, but what song are you going to sing
in the lifeboat?w
