vYep. It’s like the sardonic slogans developed by war-weary GIs in WW II:
“Home alive in ’45”
(Can’t remember the ’46 slogan)
“Heaven in ’47”
“Golden Gate in ’48.”I think a significant mistake
had to be the decision to go with
Jake Long, the former all pro,
but injured LT. It was a gamble
that cost them. Jake just
wasnt an allpro anymore
and was too inconsistent.And i was all for the
signing at the time.Ah well.

Do the Rams have a running game? Do they have a top defense?Yes I think the Rams will have those things.
Some people are seeing the fog of losing.
But I think I see the approaching village through that fog.
Mind you, 1. I could be wrong of course, and 2. so far I don’t see a quarterback in that approaching village. Not yet anyway.
Nice looking bakery, though.
Is it an elite bakery
or only a complimentary Bakery?w

“…..While the Raiders do feature Khalil Mack, who has forced his share of holding penalties and has pressured opposing quarterbacks with some regularity, the Raiders are currently last in the league in sacks with eight. And the Rams’ defensive front, at least the defensive front the Rams have showed the past four games — 16 sacks combined, including eight against the San Francisco 49ers — figures to be a notch above.With Louis Vasquez at right tackle (his first career start at the position), Manny Ramirez at right guard (where Vasquez was an All-Pro last season) and Will Montgomery getting his first start at center, quarterback Peyton Manning wasn’t sacked and the Broncos rushed for 118 yards.
But the Raiders were able to affect Manning and disrupt the Broncos for most of the first half Sunday when the Broncos were in three-WR sets. They got enough push to deflect four of Manning’s passes at the line of scrimmage, forced Manning into an intentional grounding penalty and forced two interceptions, one coming when defensive end Justin Tuck deflected the ball and dove to make the interception — all in the first half.
Including their time with the Titans, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher, assistant head coach Dave McGinnis and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams may have faced Manning more than any coaches in the league. They figure to pound away at the Broncos’ new look, especially to the right side of the offense into Manning’s face as he sets to throw, to see if the group is up to a more significant challenge.
=============Look. Everybody around here was worried that I might attempt suicide if the Rams hired Fisher as coach. I made my views known that I consider him to be one of Satan’s minions.
But.
It is precisely BECAUSE I believed that Fisher was in league with Satan that I accepted him as coach.
If it turns out that he isn’t, that he’s just an ordinary evil guy like Colonel Klink,
then I am going to need professional help.Year FOUR. Its all about year FOUR.
Just keep repeating that. 🙂Oh and btw, we’ve been posting together
since, what, 98 now? — its been an honor.
Truly. An honor.Maybe we’ll see another championship
before we die.
Carry on, Z.I gotta go. I’m baking

“I love Zack and he knows that. But this is exactly where we differ!
Zack is in the fetal position, but my head is in the oven! No amount of semantics can change this.”
Zooey’d For LifeWell are there free agent options at QB next year?
Or is the draft the only avenue.Such a strange year/team. Earlier in the year
a lot of us were thinking the QB situation was lookin
pretty good but the defense was a mess.
Now, of course things are reversed, kinda.Year Three, has not turned out well
has it.I wonder what their record would be if Bradford
was healthy? Would they have won more games?
The same? Fewer?w

It appears the Austin Davis Bandwagon to Canton has a couple of flat tires.I havent seen the game yet, but i saw the
low-lights, and it looked like the
pick-6 was a catchable ball. Britt
didnt catch it though.I think they still need a WR.
And a QB.w
vBritt could have helped Davis, but it was an off target pass thrown from a short distance.
Yeah, definitely another one of AustinD’s high-balls,
but i’d say 50 percent of it is on Britt. I’ve not
been all that impressed with Britt this year.Davis is obviously, not the answer at QB, btw,
to state the obvious. Granted he’s playing
tough teams, on the road, without Quick, etc.
Still, he’s just too limited.I’m readin Carson is probly done for the
year. ACL, maybe. Too bad. I like the Cards.w
vI predict TA scores on a punt return and some great plays from the Rams special teams. On the passing game the Rams should go with the bigger guys Cook Britt Kendricks. The Cards secondary is very good and the only reason they are able to blitz so much.The Cards OL sucks I predict the wide awake giant (DL) leaves a cleat print on Palmers butt.
Well, i dunno. I dont foresee Palmer holding the ball
very long. I think the Cards will just
dink and dunk and wait for the Rams
to self-destruct.Sure would be inter-esting though,
if the Rams were in last place,
but beat the Seahawks, 49ers and Cards
all in a four game stretch.w
