    Ahh. I discovered the ‘zoom’ thingy in the upper right corner.

    I am now zooming at 110 percent.

    I’m giving 110 percent of 70 percent

    They won’t win another game. They would have to win by the defense scoring and still managing to hold up after being out there all day to stop the other team. This offense can’t do anything. 4-12. Who predicted that?

    Congrats–you’re the winner.

    This has to be a historically bad offense. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a team where I gave their offense next to no chance of scoring. Or if the other team goes up by 10 it’s over.

    I expected more with Gurley but you have to have SOME kind of passing game–something–or defenses will take away your star.

    I had high hopes for Foles but that’s gone.

    Maybe next year.

    ———————————

    Well, at least they play SF and Seattle on the road.
    Cause ya know, the Rams play well against division teams….oh wait.

    It will be interesting to see where this Offense ranks.
    One of the worst NFL offenses I’ve ever seen. Ever.
    And I remember the expansion Tampa Bay Bucs.

    The issue wasn’t and has not been “effort.”

    It’s execution.

    You can put in all the effort you want and if you can’t execute you lose.

    Fisher was right about effort. It’s not the issue.

    Yeah, its not effort. True.

    But to ‘me’ the word ‘execution’ is pretty meaningless.
    I put it up there with “we didnt score enough points to win”

    Its meaningless to me, because it gives no clue
    as to WHY the plays are not being ‘executed’ properly.

    Having said that, i never get mad at coaches
    for what the say or dont say at press conferences.
    I mean, would we expect them to explain
    the nuts and bolts of why the team lost.
    I dont expect that out of coaches — i expect
    broad meaningless generalizations. Thats what

    Rams could have been penalized on their field gold and scored 0 but they missed that opportunity. Luckily, there are still three more games to discover new depths of despair for this Ram fan.

    The draft is only about 6 months away – that’s where the Rams seem to shine.

    Look, three points is Almost
    one point per quarter. I cant do the algebra

    I think thats something they can

    Well athlete does not mean pass blocker per se. Pass blocking is technique and awareness. Athlete means potential for SUPERIOR pass blocker. But until he learns the technique and gains awareness, he is going to be more limited.

    IMO every complaint we hear about GR gets down to technique and awareness, both of which have to do with experience and learning.

    He was just THAT raw coming out. Way behind.

    Yet at the same time, they have 2 more LOT prospects in Battle and Wms. So, that;s interesting too.

    .

    Well I hope you are right, but I am skeptical at this point.

    Overall though, I’m less worried about the OLine in the long-term
    than I am the QB, TE, and Receiver situation. Mainly
    I think it was the injuries that did-in the Oline. Mainly.

    But Cook has to go. I do not think Foles is the longterm answer,
    and I think they need a WR who is a No.1 guy.

    Another thing that is rarely touched on, is Robinson… He’s a really good athlete, so there is nothing saying he cannot play the position. Everything said about him at AU was that he was a hard worker. So maybe, just maybe a 2nd year at his original position, with the same blocking scheme will allow him to stop thinking and just play. Which, IMO, would improve his game.

    Well, I am off the GRob bandwagon, myself. For two years,
    Ive read about what a “great athlete” he is, and thus
    and therefore, he must be able to pass-block.

    But just because he’s been a “great athlete” does not
    necessarily mean he has what it takes to “pass block” in the NFL.

    So far he is very disappointing as a pass-blocker.

    Maybe he improves. Maybe he doesn’t. I don’t see
    any reason to think one path is more likely
    than the other.

    IF they have reason to believe he has a possible concussion…yes.

    “….Schlereth said in a radio appearance that it was a “bold-faced lie” for Fisher to say he didn’t realize Keenum was injured because he was in game-management mode.

    Fisher said he spoke with Schlereth on Thursday to clear the air.

    “He apologized to me,” Fisher said. “Again, Mark didn’t have all of the facts. Those things happen. That’s the world we live in right now…..”
    —————

    Yeah, I thought Schlereth was out of line
    when he was going of about the Keenum thing.

    No tv-celebrity can possibly know what angle
    Fisher had on that play, and whether he was blocked
    from seeing Keenum’s head hit the ground, etc, and so forth.

    This is a tricky issue — are the powers-that-bee gonna stop
    the game and pull a player every time there’s a hard hit now?

    I did not but I remember the promos when it came out. It looked complicated and confusing. I like a movie that requires thought but too many twists and it becomes hard to comprehend. Was it so good that it left you speechless, or so complicated that you can’t form an opinion? I see your thumb is sideways.

    Well….i think it’s definitely worth watching.
    Even if you hate it, you’ll appreciate the ambition
    of the story/writing/acting. Each actor plays
    about four or five other parts — sometimes crossing
    genders, eras, cultures, etc.

    There are some good performances, some bad performances
    and some just plain weird performances.

    I enjoyed it. But I got confused a lot.
    But I will probly watch it again.
    I know people that have watched it five
    times just to try to figure it all out.

    I think he must be related to the station owner er somethin.

    If you listen to John Clayton on that, his thing was, where was the NFL spotter. He pointed out that a slo-mo close-up view on tv is not what you see from the sidelines. The spotter, though, had the tv view. He says he didn’t intervene because the Rams trainer was out there talking to CK. However, of course, the Rams trainer didn’t know what the spotter knew.

    The assessment appears to be that means there’s a crack in the procedures. The league set out to fix that particular glitch so it doesn’t happen again.

    I really think that just sums it up. To me, the people blaming Fisher are just incorrect about what happened. They get their eyes filled with the tv view and act like that what we saw in that view was visible from the sidelines.

    .

    Yup.

    Foles benefited from 3 turnovers vs Seattle and got 146 yards rushing from Gurley in Arizona..

    The Rams cannot put the game on Foles’ shoulders, because when they do, they lose. He had chances in Washington, Pittsburgh, and in Minnesota… he wasn’t even a “game manager” in those games…….

    Well, i agree the first four games were a mixed bag.

    Yeah, I look at it the same way.

    I thought the GB gaame kilt him.
    And I dont thin Bradford would have
    survived it. Foles has a very
    tough body.

    But now that I’ve seen him in action a lot
    I want an upgrade at QB. I dont want them
    to settle on a Pre-GB-Level Foles.

    I hope they keep drafting QBs high,
    midde and low unti they find something
    better. Assuming Mannion is not ‘the guy’.

    I think our biggest disagreement is on Greg Robinson.
    You seem to think “he’ll be fine” and I seem to think
    “no, he wont”.

    On the other hand the Rams are in total-meltdown-mode.

    It will come down to Gurley, I think. Their only chance
