Well, its a very interesting issue. Nittany has
raised some interesting ideas.

I’m not sure what i think about it, anymore.
I dunno.

But i do consider the fact that Europe has
considered the issue and weighed the pluses
and minuses and they seem to have
decided on a more cautious/slow course:

“…Evidence from foreign markets where GM ingredient labeling has been mandatory for many years—for instance, the European Union, where all foods containing or derived from GM crop ingredients (excluding livestock products) have had to be labeled since 2003–indicates that when food processors and retailers have been faced with these constraints they have typically avoided GM ingredients, offering consumers only certified non-GM and organic products….”

I give that some weight, cause i tend
to think Europeans are more grown-up
than Americans.

The loss did not sit well with me, especially since it came from the Vikings….

Plus I was younger, and still believed in the power of prayer. So the Vikings not only stole the games, they stole my belief in a benevolent deity, and set me on the pathway to reckless despair that you see me on today.

So your blaming Jesus for the playoff
losses to the Vikings?

Its a well-known fact Jesus is a Raider fan,
so I dont think he’d even play dice
with a Viking-Ram game.

Well I’m not a hundred percent sure we can
extrapolate much from the last two games.
I mean, the Rams got out to a lead and
Fisher probly really trusted the defense
and running game to win the last two.

I’m not sure the same offensive-approach
and play-calling will stay in place
as the Rams face teams that can score
more points. I dunno.

Btw, you can ‘usually’ tell when Fisher thinks
he’s an underdog because he tries to steal
a possession with Hekker-Trickery.

I dunno. I’m not sure why he would think they’d be bad all year.
Seems reasonable to assume the young guys would get better.

At any rate, i think playing SF would make any unit
look better. Ya know. That is about as bad a SF team
as i can remember. And I remember some teams where
John Brodie was getting kilt on every other play.

They might not win another game. Could be
they’ll get the first pick.

I can also understand Tavon’s fumble on the Foles’ pass because Foles hung up the ball like punt and Tavon had to comeback for it to make the that catch when he fumbled.

We’re back to the future folks: it’s 1983 through 1985…

1) Rams have a very decent Defense.
2) A great feature RB
3) A HC with USC ties
3) A lousy QB… Rams have a mixture of Jeff Kemp, Steve Dils and Dieter Brock rolled into Foles.

The only thing missing from the DeLorean Time Machine is playing home games in So Cal.

——————————

I dunno, but I probly like Foles more than most on the board.
I see him more as a Billy Kilmer type than a Kemp/Dils type.
I think he’s got some serious toughness and clutchness to him,
and i think the players would march through hell for him.

I agree that its multifaceted. I dont think its a big mystery:
New OC, New QB, Cook is Cook, Kendricks has the injury, the Young OLine
has been abused a lot. Seems to me its ‘mainly’ been the OLine.
I think a lot of Foles issues are directly related to
bulgerization.

One thing i am impressed with about these WR’s is
their blocking. They are really showing up
in that regard. They seem to take pride in it.

Its fair to expect some improvement with this
group as the games go by. But it ‘would’
be nice if they could add a Calvin Johnson
to the unit next year 🙂
Seriously, they need a third weapon.
Someone besides Tavon and Gurley.

Bridgewater’s game stats so far:
http://www.nfl.com/player/teddybridgewater/2543465/gamelogs

Six TD’s, Five INT’s. Overall rating of around 85.

Enh.

AP has 633 yards. 4.5 yard average. He’s only
had one bad game – SF held him to 31 yards.

Vikes haven’t beaten a team with a winning record.
They played Denver tough though.

You know last year, the D looked great in
those two shut-out games. And then the
Giants blew up the RamsD.

Now, they’ve played two bad teams
and the D has again looked excellent —
but now they face what looks like a good team.

So, it will be interesting to see
how the D does, on the road, against

Would you rather have Cordarelle and AP

Maybe the Vikes will try some of that
inside/outside stuff themselves.
I believe Cordarelle had his biggest
day against the Rams last time
didnt he?

Fisher: : “… yes we can run it, we’ll find a way to run it, and we have been doing that since Todd (Gurley) came aboard, but we converted one third down today. That just doesn’t get it done. So we obviously have some work to do. Pleased with the win, don’t misunderstand me. We came through healthy. We still have a lot of room for improvement.”

(On how RB Todd Gurley and WR Tavon Austin complement each other in the offense)
“Well, you have the reverse threat and then you have the quick screen, and we scored on that threat. It’s a simple read for Nick (Foles). If the box is loaded, go outside to Tavon and if they’re sitting outside and you’re worried about that, then we hand it off. So yes, it’s a good problem from an opposing defensive standpoint.”….
================================

It is kinda fun to see the Rams have a
Mr Outside and Mr Inside.
Do any other teams have a combo quite
like this one?

“Rams opponents have made 16 redzone trips in 2015, and have come away with only five touchdowns. They have settled for 11 field goals, best total in the NFL.
According to press box statistics, S Mark Barron led the team in tackles with nine (six solo)…”

Seems to me, aside from Gurley,
‘this’ is the story of the year — the redzone D.

I think most of us are just ‘expecting’ opposing
offenses to bog down in the redzone nowadays.
They dont seem to be giving up any big
plays in the redzone. Janoris is playing well.
Barron is playing well. Greg Williams seems to have
figured out how what to do with them. Etc.

When’s the last time a

had a big game against
another team with a Winning Record?

I think RFL’s point about the passing game
comes into play against the Vikes.
Against a ‘good team’ the Rams just
cant be one dimensional.
They’ll need some consistent play
from Foles and the Oline, one would think.
But the Vikes aint exactly the Patriots.
This one is winnable.

And like that, Gurley has it. Per ESPN Stats & Info, Todd Gurley now has the most rushing yards by a runner in 1st 4 starts since merger.

You know i was not expecting this. I thought he’d
be good, but not this year. I figured
he wouldnt really be a difference maker
until the second year after the surgery.

This is a MUST win game if the Rams have any hope for the playoffs.

The Panthers or Falcons will grab one of the wild card spots–the other wins their division.

That leaves one wild card or the division for the Rams to win.

If the Rams stumble here–in a game they SHOULD win–they’re done. If they DO win they set up a critical game against the Vikes. These are the games where seasons are made or lost.

So we’ll see.

Rams’ T.J. McDonald: Returns to full practice

http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/rams-tj-mcdonald-returns-to-full-practice/

Despite returning to a full practice Friday, McDonald (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The Rams have a bunch of players listed as questionable that don’t actually seem to be in much danger of missing the game. McDonald, who is on pace for 96 tackles, should be available against the flailing San Francisco offense.
