wvParticipantLack of consistent players on the o-line is a major factor, obviously.
But there’s a lot going on here. It can’t be just ONE thing.
I dunno how much of this is the OLine Injuries.
It may very well be that this team could
have won Ten games if the OLine had stayed healthy
and gelled. I dunno. Possible. I’m totally open
to that possibility that the “OLine Injury Theory” (OLIT)
is the major or total cause of this year’s
Fiasco (TYF)But, I dunno.
One of the factors that I see, that has nothing
to do with injuries is Greg Robinson. He
has not been good. Will he ever be? I dunno.Would Foles have been good enough had he not
be beaten up so much? I dunno. Maybe. But man,
he sure does look ‘slow’ out there.The Receivers have been dropping balls
in key situations — why ?Penalties.
Missed extra points, field goals.
Its a spectacle.

vwvParticipantThe offseason will be interesting.
w
vThis may be the most interesting offseason in 20 years.
You have all the questions surrounding the QB and the pass offense in general. There are also tough personnel decisions to be made on defense – the contracts of many good players will be up. Can’t resign them all. Which means this will be another critical draft for the defense as well as the offense.
Then, of course, there’s the move…
Yeah. We cant even be totally sure Fisher
will be here next year.Free agency will be fascinating. They
‘could’ get a lot of cap space, i would think,
by jettisoning Chris Long, Saffold and Cook.
Could they find better/healthier replacements
in free agency?I think its impossible to say if Cignetti
is a good or bad OC at this point. Too soon.w
vwvParticipantFisher
Cignetti
Young and now injured OL
QB(s)
All of the above.
Can it improve or is it doomed?Thats the question of the year.
Not the entire offense, just the PASS Offense.I just dont know.
Greg Robinson is a problem for one thing.
But is he a problem because he’s young? Or
is he a problem because he aint got the
balance/talent to be an NFL LT ? I dunno.Foles is obviously a mess. But why,
and can he recover and fit in this offense?
I dunno.The injuries are obviously a major problem
and the offense looked ok against Seattle in
the first game — but then there was plenty of
bad offense before the rash of injuries.It wont get fixed this year, and they
might only win a game or two more.The offseason will be interesting.

wvParticipantSlight chance of a win, but only if Quinn
is a hundred percent. They would have
to win it on Defense, and without Quinn
the D aint scary enough.I’m assuming Quinn is not going to be
a hundred percent the rest of the year,
so, thus, consequently:Rams 5
Bengals 20w
vDid you watch the last game? Just curious.
Oh and btw, you’re right, cranberry/walnut bread toast is great.

No, I cant watch this offense anymore.
Honestly, its simply un-watch-able for me.There are things that should never be seen.
Things too dark,
too evil.Don’t watch,
or you’ll be sorry.w

vNovember 25, 2015 at 8:41 pm in reply to: 1999 St. Louis Rams Training Camp vid with John Clayton #34709wvParticipantThat was cool.
Defense was 10th and offense 27th in 98.
Similar to this year.
Now all Snisher has to do
is find a Pace, Timmerman, Faulk, Warner/Green, Ike, and Holt.
And maybe an Ernie.No problem.
…as I recall there were zero OLine injuries
in 99.w

vwvParticipanti’d give him one more year. that’s it.
Sure, but if a stud LT falls to them in the draft
do you take him?w

w
vwvParticipantYeah, I’ve thought about that I think GR
might very well belong at guard. I dunno.w
vwvParticipantFisher is certainly having his worst week since he’s been HC of the Rams. He’s under fire for keeping Keenum in the game…
http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2015/11/23/9782026/st-louis-rams-jeff-fisher-case-keenum-concussion
Enh. I think Fisher has a long record of handling
injured players pretty carefully. Seems like he
always brings them along slowly and gives them
plenty of time to recover.This situation is easy to second-guess after
slow motion replays etc. I just dont
put this on Fisher.w
vwvParticipantYes. With Mannion, the smartest QB in the room.
One more year for Oline and a good draft. Even Fisher can get 10 wins.I would like to see some Mannion
in the last month of the season.I mean, why not? I’m not saying
they should get him all bulgerized
but let him play some — give it to Gurley,
throw quick passes, that sort of thing.
Get him some experience. Its too early
to do it now, cause they aint gonna admit
the season is over, but maybe in the
last month or so.w
vwvParticipant<span class=”d4pbbc-font-color” style=”color: blue”>Coaches always believe that they can coach them up.</span>
Do you think
this team is “close”
to being a double-digit winner?w
vwvParticipantIs it sad to say that the highlight of football season for me these days is the off-season?
If Fisher is back, i wonder if he will feel pressure
to draft players who are ‘game-ready’ instead
of raw players with high-ceilings?I am ready for some game-ready players.
Ya know.w
vwvParticipantTo me there’s no doubt. Had Foles not melted down and the OL not been so injury wracked, they would have been fine.
Well, we’ll never know ; the injuries
wrecked any chance they would have had…but
I dunno.My own thing iz, I cant quite figure out
what is:
1) Fisher
2) and what is injuries.Could be they would have been double-digit
winners without the injuries.
Though, maybe Foles was too flawed, and Fisher
sucks in regard to offense. I am not sure
anymore.Either way, whether its key-injuries or Fisher
or both — This is the most disappointing year
for me, since the year the Rams crashed and
burned the year after they met the 49ers in the playoffs.
89? 90? somethin like that.It would not surprise me if they
beat the bengals btw. They’ll get a few
more ugly wins, I would think. Gurley
will have a few more good games,
and some turnovers will go their
way. Enh.w
vwvParticipantSure made wonder how they have the spotter do his/her job. Does this person sit up in a booth with binoculars? Are they on the sideline? There was a Rams game early in the season where a timeout was called by the ATC spotter and to me the injury was far less obvious. It’s a big area that the spotter has to cover with his or her eyes. So I can see how some instances could go unnoticed. Having the benefit of a tv camera pointed right at Keenum made yesterday’s example obvious for viewers. Still, given Case’s reaction it’s surprising that he stayed out there, or was allowed to stay out there.
Was it Greg Robinson the pass-rusher zoomed past?
Or was it someone else who got Keenum’s brain scrambled?w
vwvParticipantFor me, This is the most disappointing year,
in the last decade or so.Have we hit bottom yet? Is this
bottom ?w
vDisappointing losses are starting to bleed together for me. Hard to distinguish among them. This team leads the league in disappointing losses.
——————————
This year is different for me. I was
really expecting a great defense,
excellent special teams, and an offense
that started slow, but got better
as the year sent along.
I expected Foles to be a
clutch gamer, who managed
a strong short-pass-game and
hit big plays, enough to win.
I expected big things from Stedman.
I expected more from Britt.
I expected more from Greg Robinson.I dunno. I know the injuries to Q
and Long have hurt the D,
and the OLine has once again
been decimated, so maybe the
team would have come on, had
there not been injuries. Sigh.
Maybe.But Fisher just aint growin on me.
I hate the idea of starting over with
a new system, but I also dont much
like the idea of year FIVE with Fisher.I just know i cant even stand to WATCH
this offense. I cant even watch it.
Its unwatchable for ‘me.’I was expecting ten wins. What will
they end up with now?w
vwvParticipantFor me, This is the most disappointing year,
in the last decade or so.Have we hit bottom yet? Is this
bottom ?w
vwvParticipantYup.
The National media keeps talking about this game
by pointing out the Rams strong Defense,
but they haven’t been factoring in
the Q-factor. It simply AINT
the Ram Defense without Q,
or with a damaged-Q.They need a Max-Q
to be a max-Q defense.
They cant have a min-Q
or no-Q.This is all advanced algebra,
people.D – Q = L
Even if you use Quantum-Kabbalistic-Algebra, and subtract
Foles and add in Keenum, its still
a loss: D – (Q-F) + K = Lw
vwvParticipantYou need six weeks to come back from
a broken bone?
wvParticipantYes, well, had your original post said “earth” foxes, then I would known what you were talking about. But it didn’t say that, it said “ground” foxes.
I think that was intentional. An intentional ground, if you will.
Let the Admins deal with you as they will.

He’s no Russell Wilson.w
vwvParticipantWhat the heck are ground-foxes? In relation to air-foxes and/or sea-foxes?
Enny-hew, I’m sorta agreeing with you on this one. Can’t make any more positive predictions with this team. Not even sure Super-Gurley and Ghost-Of-Welker can help these schizos…
