wvParticipantall negativity aside i am encouraged by the reports on the oline…
Voltaire-ram said football is a shipwreck
but you have to sing in the life-boats.He didn’t say what song though.
Thats where it gets confusing.Anyway. Unexpected road win for a banged-up
team.Does the next game matter? Does 8-8
mean anything?w
vwvParticipantIN Seattle? Are you kidding me?
w
vBarnes is the new Massey… Clutch.
Well if Barnes is the New-Massey
then who is William Hayes ?w
vwvParticipantI’m glad to see Keenum performing well but I do wish the Rams could have used the time to get a better evaluation of Mannion. I think it’s important to know what they have there. Still, I’m not sure what happens or where they go in the off-season. Can they just let Foles and his contract go? Are they stuck with him? A lot will depend on that–and HOW Case does the last two games.
If he melts down than all bets are off.
If he plays well he can be the starter next year with Mannion as back-up and another young guy perhaps behind him.
Well, that would be a sad state of affairs if they
open up the season with Case Keenum at QB,
in my view.And yet, it might be the best
available option, to Snisher.Ah well.

vwvParticipant“I just hope it won’t be the same kind of narrative that it’s been every time we go up there,” linebacker James Laurinaitis said. “We fight ’em. Great for a half. It seems we’re tied, or we’re up, and then something happens. The game goes haywire.”
——————————Not surprisngly, its tough to have confidence
when things like that are in yer head.w
vwvParticipantWell they have that extra 2nd rounder from Philly,
so maybe they package it with their no.1 and
move up a little to get a QB. I dunno.I would have liked to have seen more of Mannion
‘before’ the draft.w
vAt this point, the Rams should be willing to “mortgage the farm” to get a QB.
It doesn’t do any good to have a good team if they don’t have a decent QB.
I say do whatever it takes.
Draft every QB available. Have a cage death match. Whatever.
Well, lots of knowns and unknowns.
Do they think Foles can be Rebuilt?
Can they afford to cut him?
Can afford to keep him if he takes up a roster spot another QB
could have?
Is Mannion an Option? When will they know?
Can Keenum ever be a no.1 QB ?
Are any of the QBs in the draft-class worth
moving up for?
which vet free agents could help?w

vwvParticipant<span class=”d4pbbc-font-color” style=”color: blue”>My tab for ramshuddle was flashing new message. Is this a new thing? Did I never notice it before? Maybe it only happens when somebody uses the word unicorn?</span>
If this is going to be a Uni-Corn thread
then I want to know why Unicorns dont
have an actual corn-cob on their heads.
I mean, they are not called Uni-horns,
they are called Uni-corns.So, I’d like an answer to that.
I’ll just wait.
w
vwvParticipantSince this regime Hates quarterbacks so much,
I suggest we just let Gurley be the QB,
and let Tavon run around behind him,
and we just go with the Wild-Cat or
Wild-Unicorn or whatever its called nowadays.I mean, why not? I bet Gurley can even throw
better than TeBow.And that way we take advantage of the fact
that GRob is going to Whiff three or four
times a game. Gurley can just blow
by the defenders that Wiz past GRob.
Ya know. Turn a negative into a Positive.I would also not oppose having an
actual Unicorn as QB,
as long as it was a running Unicorn
and not one of those stationary
pocket Unicorns.w
vwvParticipantHere’s my humble opinion on what should happen in LA:
The good people of LA don’t want or deserve any of the three teams who want to go there. For prior bad behavior, the Raiders should be excluded right from the get go.
The Chargers and the Rams should be merged with the composite team basically the Chargers O and the Rams D and ST. Ownership of the LA Ramgers would be determined via a PPV cage match between Krankie and Spandex.
The loser would become owner of a St Louis expansion team (the Stallions?) who would have first dibs on the remainder of the old Rams and Chargers teams, and then would get to select players from the other 30 teams via an expansion draft.
The Ramgers would be in the AFC West, the St Louis team would stay in the NFC West.
Problem solved.
I’m guessing a RamGer helmet
would be a lightning bolt in
the shape of a Horn ?w
vwvParticipantThey must have thought Foles was going to be at least OK. Or they wouldn’t have traded for him and then signed him to an extension. But Foles is entering Bradford territory, although he might make a come back. It would be foolish to bet the future on him now. So we need more options. I have faith in Mannion. But not so much in Keenum. We should look at the draft to see if we can add another option there.
But how would that work? If they draft another QB, say in round 2,
then you have Mannion, Keenum, Foles and a Rookie.
What if the rookie looks good — what do you do
with Foles and his contract?w
vwvParticipanthttp://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/24/sports/football/on-appeal-odell-beckham-jrs-suspension-is-upheld.html?ref=football
Odell:
“I wasn’t raised to act like I did the other day,” Beckham said in a statement issued by the team. “I am not here to make excuses for my conduct. This isn’t about anything that was said or done to me. This is about my behavior, and I am responsible for my behavior.”Beckham, a rising star on the American sports scene and one of the N.F.L.’s most popular players, observed that he was a role model for many young fans.
“Many of the parents of those kids have asked since Sunday what they should say to their children about my conduct,” Beckham said. “I don’t have the perfect answer, but I think one thing they can say is how I handled myself the other day is an example of how not to conduct yourself. I displayed poor sportsmanship. And those parents can also say that when you act like that, there are consequences. And I hope to be an example of somebody who did something wrong and learned from it.”
On his Twitter account, Beckham said he had pursued the appeal because he owed it to his teammates to do everything he could to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Instead, he will miss the game.
“I dropped the ball on sportsmanship on Sunday,” Beckham also wrote. “I apologize to my teammates, the Giants organization, and to all fans of the NFL.”
wvParticipantI dont see any pie.
w
vwvParticipantI think yes it’s possible Foles can return to at least what he was in 2014. Maybe even better.
I don’t know if it will be with the Rams.Do you think Fisher/cignetti made any obvious
mistakes with Foles in designing the offense
or dealing with the injuries, etc?
Could they have prevented the meltdown?w
vwvParticipantSo Quinn had back surgery.
So he wont be working out a lot
this summer, i assume. Not good.w
vwvParticipantRuss Lande said Jared Goff, would be a perfect
fit for the Rams. The Cal QB. Said, he
would probly go in the teens of the first round.Anybody got any thots on Goff ?
Did he play in a pro system? I dont
want no more spread qbs.w
vwvParticipantWell, how long does Greg Robinson get ?
I mean, if he is still acting confused
and getting his QB killed three times a game
next year…then what? Are we still gonna
say he’s got the talent he just needs
more experience?At what point can we say, we
know what he is going to be?w
vwvParticipantAfter yielding 500-plus yards for the second time in three games, the Rams have plummeted to 22nd in the league in total defense.
Well, I’m still very impressed with the Rams Redzone D.
The Redzone D is possibly the most important defensive
stat.But losing Quinn was a devastating loss. He
was one of the four or five players that
just could not get injured….usually
I’d put the QB in that category, but…w
vwvParticipantYeah, issue one is about how Ignorant and Ugly
homophobia can be and what can be done
to enlighten NFL players…But issue two is, Odell is a bit of
a jerk and needs to handle himself
with more class.w
vwvParticipantI dont follow other teams,
but is there a more dangerous punt-returner
than Tavon? What return man
made the pro-bowl ?w
vwvParticipantReporters sure are fascinated with
this Vomit angle.w
vwvParticipantThe spread is fourteen.
I didn’t expect ‘that’ big a spread.w

wvParticipantI dunno. Boras has had Keenum.
Maybe Cignetti just needed Keenum.w
vDecember 22, 2015 at 9:44 am in reply to: is Seattle facing the most demoralizing loss in its history? #35906wvParticipantI dunno. I think this could be a trap game
for the Rams. Will they take the seahawks
too Lightly? Are they looking ahead to…
…the offseason?w
vDecember 21, 2015 at 6:04 pm in reply to: Report: Patriots to sign veteran running back Steven Jackson today #35888wvParticipantI cant think of any team I want
to win the Super Bowl this year.Not the Vikings.
Not Washington.
Not the Patriots.
Not the Panthers.
Not the Broncos.
Not the Steelers.
Not the Jets
Not the Seahawks.That leaves the Packers, Cards, Bengals
and Chiefs. Enh.Cards and Chiefs I suppose.

vwvParticipantO’Dell has a little bit of Cog
in him, i see.w
vwvParticipantQB is the most important position
on the football team.Everyone has their own style of
writing about that. Some use lots
of words and numbers and some dont.w
vwvParticipantI didn’t watch a single game today. Watched a movie.
I will pay more attention for the playoffs but other than the last two Rams games, I just can’t gather much interest for any of the other teams.
By the way–yesterday I saw “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and it was great. Going to see it again.
Today I watched “Sicario”. Very well made–if depressing.
Have you seen the Henry Rollins movie?
“The Man that Couldnt Die” I think its called?Do you think the Rams would win some games
if they learned how to use the Force ?w
vwvParticipantCarolina has two games left:
at Atlanta
and home vs Tampa.16-0 ?
w
vwvParticipantEnh. None of them excite me, but if i had to pick
I’d watch Cam Newton vs Eli.Obviously the biggest story of the year
so far has to be Carolina.
It must drive the corporate-NFL-suits
crazy.Carolina seems to have built the
kind of team Fisher wants.w
vwvParticipantWell….what about QB ?
Ya know.
What about that.
