    Yeah, Taje Allen gave up the winning TD pass in that 99 game.

    I wonder which teammate TJ McDonald injured his shoulder on.

    Is Taje Allen playing?

    I don’t think so.

    Boras.

    Because he will bring such disrepute on the league with his ineptitude?

    Your post would have more gravitas

    When I was a kid, I would divide up all my army men between me and a friend or idiot brother, set them up across from each other, and take turns with rubber bands knocking over each other’s army men. The first one to wipe out the other was the winner. That was more fun than repairing dry rot in a deck.

    The Cardinals will regret having ever HEARD of St. Louis.

    They already do, to the point of leaving St. Louis.

    How about the Rams move to LA, the Cardinals move to St. Louis, the Chargers stay where they are, and the Raiders dissolve?

    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.

    This right here is the Absolute Truth of the Rams situation.

    It’s clear he doesn’t want to be in St. Louis.

    I don;’t think that’s a factor at all. There’s no evidence of “St. Louis is not an option.” It just looks like he wants to be this big owner with the fabulous LA property. That doesn’t mean he would not accept St. Louis at all if things didn’t play out for LA.

    I wonder. Because he is clearly “all in” on Los Angeles. Kroenke is accustomed to getting his way, and it would be interesting to see what he will do if the LA move is blocked. The man must have a Plan B. Right now, St. Louis doesn’t look like Plan B, but then, Kroenke is famous for keeping private.

    The #Chargers/#Raiders plan in Carson may now be a bit smaller than some imagined, though the golf course wasn’t in their “core” plan.

    Carmen Policy, Carson’s advocate, told me: “We have our core piece of land, we don’t need anything else.” To look elsewhere for development

    Maybe. But it doesn’t help. Not in a situation that’s very much up in the air, and owners are going to have to pick up every shard of glass and look at it from every angle to find reasons to back one plan over the other.

    Maybe they should not be punting on 4th down. Maybe they should be going for it. Maybe that’s the key. At least that would stop the 3 and out stuff–break the pattern. They’d be on 4 and out and that might give the defense the rest it needs.

    Great plan. Remove Hekker, their best weapon on offense, from the game.

    Watching the hapless Browns makes me think: “It could be worse–I could be a Browns fan.”

    I am starting to feel like that is about ALL that Rams fans have these days. At least they aren’t the Browns.

    As I grew up, the Rams were feared and respected. From the late 60s until 1990, the Rams were one of the most respected teams in the league.

    Now – I realize – there are millions of football fans who have think of the Rams as a perpetual doormat to the league, with the exception of the brief candle that was the GSOT.

    I am tired of this shit.

    I would give Mannion garbage time duty only at this point. But I would give him that. A possession or two at the end of the game.

    The Rams are a mediocre QB away from contending. I take it for granted that the OL will be better next year. A decent OL and a mediocre passing game is enough to win games with the defense (should it stay pat). That is all the Rams needed this year.

    A #1 WR would help a lot, but the biggest need is a QB who can rate in the upper 80s, low 90s.

    That could be as close as Sean Mannion, and as far away as the final Star Wars film.

    Believe me there is money in high school football, too. Not NCAA level money, obviously, but money that matters to high schools.

    i haven’t seen the game yet but will try and watch it sometime this week. it will be painful i’m sure.

    i did see that foles threw an int for td again.

    It was brutal. He was leaving the pocket and threw off balance to a guy who had no Ram anywhere near him. Honestly, Foles appears to me to be on a par with Austin Davis.

    I did not know Mannion played. That’s something, if he played acceptably. Of course, Foles played exceptionally once upon a time.

    I saw very little of the game. I saw a couple of slants which was encouraging, and some terrible passes including the pick 6 which was discouraging.

    I am tempted to just fill my Sundays with meaningful activity from this point on because I have just had all I can take of banged up OLs. I have simply OD’d on this shit. But if Mannion is going to get some work, I have interest. I wish I had seen him play today.

    The Rams need a QB.

    They don’t have a QB, and they don’t have a WR who matters. And the OL is on its Bi-annual Shambles Tour.

    I don’t think players blame the head coach for those things the way that fans often do.

    4 weeks ago, there was reason for optimism in the locker room, and it’s all gone to hell. Players and fans are gonna cuss a bit, but I don’t think there’s reason to think Fisher has lost the team.

    I just don’t think we can expect much with both starting guards out, and the replacements being Reynolds and Donnal.

    All the praise given Wichman means nothing to me. I have heard Noa, Spikes, and I don’t know who all, praised before they were cut. And if Wichman were any good, he would have played instead of Donnal, who got a -10.5 rating (or whatever it was). So I’m not counting on him this year. We have a college OL right now.

    Zooey, lets say the Rams limp to another
    8-8ish type finish.

    If YOU were the big-boss would you
    bring back Snisher, or would you
    start over? Just curious.

    I don’t know. If I was the big boss, I would have a lot more information than I do sitting here in Podunk, California, hanging out with 17-year olds all day long.

    As a fan, I am inclined to give him another year. There is a lot of talent there. The OL curse, and the problems at QB are painful, but I don’t see how they are Snisher’s fault.

    I expect he will be back. Keenum is going to get killed behind that line before the end of the year, and they will have to put Foles back in.

    Alright, now.

    For awhile here, I thought I was looking at an unfamiliar team.

    Now I recognize my Rams again.

    Practice squad OL and backup QBs.
