wvParticipantWhat’s wrong with Quinn? And J. Brown is done? Long is coming back soon, right?
I dunno, i cant find out what kind of injury he has exactly,
but he sat out last game, and limped around this game.Brown is done, yeah.
My hope for 10 wins is gone. my hope for 9 is sinking.
If Fisher goes 8-8 again, surely it will be some sort of
record.I wonder what QBs will be available in free agency?
Wonder if they’ll draft a QB?w

wvParticipantThat sucked. Foles was bad. Where was the D? Fisher teams do that way too often. Gonna have to steal games from the bengals and Seattle now
Well normally, I’d say this team is weird enough to do just that —
lose to the Bears and Ravens and then beat the bengals
and seahawks. But if Quinn is a shell of himself,
it changes everything. The Defense starts with Q and AD.w
v
wvParticipant
wvParticipantFoles sucks. Really, he does. I see no improvement in him at all.
I don’t know how to evaluate the WR. I know I see them open a lot, and not getting the ball in a catchable place, and I also see them dropping catches they should make. So I dunno.
Brown and Saffold are out now, so the OL is in trouble.
I can’t see any way the offense becomes more productive.
So I don’t care what Fisher has to say.
————————–
Well, IF you are right about Foles.
Then….
Shit.
w
v
wvParticipantGonna say yes.
Yeah, the London game bothered me a lot.
The one-sidedness of it. And there was
a Seattle game at the end of the year
that annoyed me. Maybe that was Spags,
I forget. The Washington game this
year was bad, but that was on the road.I dunno, but to me, this one, was
one of the worst regular season losses,
of the decade. And…its year Four.
Plus, now there are Injuries, so the
whole season may go down the drain.Reminds me a bit of a couple of
KC Chief games where the Rams got
thumped AND humiliated AND injured.w
v
wvParticipantYeah I would have to say so.
.
——————————–
Well, we are ram fans. So,
thats sayin a lot.w
v
wvParticipantDid you see the game? What do you think happened
today? I mean…WTF? None of us
was expecting anything like THIS.
Good lord.It;s not the same team, anywhere down the line, with both DEs being mostly silent.
Plus. Bad tackling showed up again on D.
Plus. The penalties and horribly timed mistakes showed up again on O. Negating 1st downs and one TD.
Plus. Foles was a mess. He’s not the least bit confident right now. He’s not the guy we saw in the Seattle game.
Plus. Hekker blew a fake. In Rams territory.
Everything that could go wrong, did.
Well the Bears were missing their top RB
and Alshon was hobbled and they were
on the road, etc.Apparently, the bears were still able
to avoid stupid penalties and tackle
ball-carriers, etc.I’m as mad as hell and I’m not taking
it anymore….I’m just gonna go
to the Window, open it, stick my
head out and say….um..
..Shit! Go Rams!w
v
wvParticipantHe missed a couple of throws ? Actually he made a couple of throws but missed the rest of them…at home…. in the dome….with no wind…wide fucking open receivers…the whole damn gamne…
I picked a bad day
to give up crystal meth.Well, at least they have a good
defense, ya know. I mean a good defense
can carry a team….oh wait….So how will Fisher handle this fiasco?
I think I’ve seen this movie before — i
bet he uses humor, and tries to lighten
up the mood of the team. Maybe he talks
about starting over, etc. I dunno.w

wvParticipantGeez-us H Cryste. A beat-down,
at home, by the lowly, injured Bears.
AND — injuries to the Oline, ta-boot.Its the Alamo.
w
v
wvParticipantWell, there’s no way we should expect victories against either of those teams based on the way the Rams played today. Plus Havenstein’s status is uncertain and Brown is done for the year. Probably looking at 4 – 7.

LaramWhen you are good within the division but bad outside…its coaching.
In division = familiarity. You know who yoiur opponent is, and what they do.
Outside the division = Requires more preparation and game planning
Coaching.

wvParticipantI was busy and couldn’t watch the fiasco.
Just saw the highlights and nfl.com
and saw the stats.I might be able to post rationally
at some point in the future,
but right now, I am…speechless.I have no words.

“His descent was like nightfall.”

wvParticipantI’m votin for Bern,
for all the obvious reasons,
but
he cant win,
for all the obvious reasons,
of course.He’ll do surprisingly well,
though. Which is nice.w
v
wvParticipantAwesome, Mack. That’s great.
…I’ve been listening to a lot of old ‘socialist’ music lately.
I’ve been googling around and looking for old pro-labor folk singers
and such.And then i heard David Cross, the comedian, accidently.
I bought a music-CD at
the salvation-army and i didnt check what was inside the
case — and it turned out a David Cross comedy CD was
inside the CD case instead of the music-cd. So,
i listened to Cross, and he was great. Turns out
he’s a socialist of sorts. So, then i googled around
for socialist comedians. Thats where those to brit-comics
I posted, came from.Anyway, I have not listened to much of Lewis Black over
the years, but maybe I’ll give him a try.w

wvParticipantI dont think so. No razzle-dazzle today.
I think Fisher will save that for Baltimore.
Today, i think they just play
straight up and rely on their
superior talent.w
v
wvParticipantWell, their top RB back is out
and their big WR is gimpy,
and the game is in St.Louis,
and its a must win for the Rams.If they cant win this one,
then Fisher needs to have a sage
plant stuck up his ass and
burned in the city square.Thats for Lyser.
…my main concern right now
is Quinn. They can win today without
Quinn, but
on the road they will need
Donald AND Quinn or this defense
aint so scary. And the defense
has to carry the team, obviously.So, today, I am interested in Quinn,
and Welker and the non-existent passing
game. Can the Rams pass, at home,
against a losing team.w

3. Want To Do Better on Third Down? Here’s How: By now we’re tired of mentioning that the Rams’ third-down conversion rate, an abysmal 23.7 percent, is the poorest by an NFL team since the statistic became official in 1972….
Moreover, their second-down performance is lacking. According to STATS LLC the Rams are ranked last in the NFL in successful second-down plays …
—————————–
Yeah, its not a “third down problem” — it’s
an “Offense problem.”
A “pass offense problem” mostly.The question is,
is it the QB, the Receivers,
the Oline, the OC/Fisher,
or all of the above ?And is it going to improve?

wvParticipantSuper bowl?
Lost me there.
Yup. Total bullshit.
I’m sorry but a team that cant convert
a third down is a Super Bowl team?
Please.Tbey have a chance to be a ‘wild-card level team’.
Ten wins. That sort of thing. But that is
a far cry from elite.w
v
wvParticipantIncreasing the offensive playbook by 33% in one week might be too much too soon for the offense to absorb.
You guys dont seem to understand Fisher-ball —
Welker was brought in to RUN it up the middle.
Thats how Fisher will threaten the middle
of the field.The fourth play will be Welker up the gut.

wvParticipantMichael Young on the passing game and Welker, etc
November 11, 2015 at 5:25 pm in reply to: 101, 11/11 … Matt Bowen, Clayton, Schlereth, Michael Young, & Wagoner x 2 #33991
wvParticipantSchlereth is a Denver guy, and he said
Welker looked really bad his last year in Denver.
Said he doubted there was much left in his tank.w
v
wvParticipantWhat if some of the 6.5 billion people disappeared had to come from members of your family and friends?
Could you do it then for the good of the world?
Well the game rules are set by the “decider”. So,
you can make what ever rules you want. I think, originally,
I said no friends or family need be involved, etc.But if you want to set up a scenario where friends and family
have to be included — then…I’d have to think about it
harder.It might depend on ‘which’ family members ? 🙂
Again, ‘my’ argument is, that the biosphere is
seriously threatened now. FUTURE humans, animals,
and plants will not be born, if something doesnt change…
…so, what if someone eliminated all the “unkind” and “unwise”
humans….what would the future look like ‘then’…?Define ‘wise’ or ‘unkind’ anyway YOU want.

v
wvParticipantFavored?! The Bears?! Over the Rams?!
Someone should take a pair of tweezers and carefully pull his pea brain out through his nose, rinse it in a mild bleach solution to clean off the ‘stupid’ and then reinsert it back into his heretofore useless head.Then maybe he won’t make ridiculous pronouncements like “the Bears should be favored if blah blah blah”…
Ok, I’d rate that flame, at a B+ level.
I would have given it an “A” if you had
mentioned the new Hall of Fame
QB/WR duo of Foles-to-Welkerw
v
wvParticipantI wouldn’t do it if I had his concussion history.
yeah.
Well, i think he wanted to be
able to say, he played with three
Hall of Fame Quarterbacks.w
v
wvParticipantI wouldn’t do it if I had his concussion history.
So you wouldnt sacrifice your brain
for the Rams?And you call yourself a fan ?
w
v
wvParticipant“If Quinn and Long are out again, I’d say we should be favored. If Quinn is back, it tips to St. Louis’ favor. Even still, I think the run game will be out the window; between Donald, Brockers, and Fairley I think we will get eaten up inside. Our best bet for consistent production is going to be Alshon and Bennett in the 7-12 yard range.”
This guy sounds too intelligent
to be a Bears fan.w
v
wvParticipantRams will win, but all their wins
will be hideously-ugly this year. Fisher-wins,
I’m gonna start calling them.Their losses will be ugly too.
w
v
wvParticipant“#Rams have a much weaker pass rush without Quinn. Less diverse, too.”
Thats why i changed my pick from a three point ram win
to a close ram loss. Quinn means that much, imho.
He and Donald are critical to this D. If the O
only has to account for one, then the DLine
is blockable.What exactly IS Quinn’s injury, btw?
Is it going to be a lingering thing?
Is he going to be a hundred percent at some point
this year? Its a big issue.w
v
wvParticipantHope we get people back this week.
Yeah, i want Quinn back. The Defensive Front
is what i have the most fun watching.
Gotta have Q though.Maybe they dont need him against the Bears
but they will need him after that.w
