Goff can grow and be as good...let's hope he surpasses both Wilson and Garappolo. JG won five straight games, je. Impressive, to be sure. But it’s still a small size sample. And let’s be honest.

It was the division clincher and we put an epic beat down on them in their house. It was a beautiful thing to behold. Easy choice for me 'cause I just can't stand that team and the gum-crunching HC.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteTheGuru There's a whole years worth plus one PO game of film on Goff for DCs to study. Will be hard for him to replicate this past year. Wouldn't that thinking apply to every QB in the league?by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Outstanding DZ. I love the detail, explanations and thought process that went into this. You obviously spent some time on it so thank you for sharing. Maybe Snead can use a sidekick? hehehe...by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
That's a crazy amount of G-Jack for a guy that's had what, 7 or 8 starts in his career? Wow.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Good thought but I don't think so. Yes, LT was a huge problem but not the only one. Remember when he said something like "anybody who thinks we need WRs doesn't know what they're talking about"? It turns out that a lack of competent WRs was another problem. Another issue was his choice of OCs. If we had Whitworth while Fisher was here, it definitely would have helped but with tby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Nice post but I have to disagree on your analogies to restaurants and surgeons vs. an NFL GM. It's just not the same. I think the only TRUE way to measure how good Snead is or isn't is to compile all of the picks made by all 32 GMs over a 5-year span and then compare the results. The criteria for a "hit" or a "miss" has to be applied the same to every single pick to be faby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Exactly, and if that hit was illegal with him being a runner, then all helmet hits on running backs would be illegal too.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
I thought it was a highly entertaining game but there are always cynics and critics. It's just impossible to make all the people happy all the time, or even in one football game! The fact that the Cheatriots lost made it even more entertaining. QuoteRams43 A back and forth scoring battle. 74 points scored. Came down to the final play. Brady throws for over 500 yards.

Just kidding Deadpool. Good post. IMO, it was a great season just because it's been so long since we've had even a winning season, let alone a playoff appearance. I guess it just depends on what the word "special" means to an individual. I think it would have been truly special if we had made the Super Bowl. Nonetheless, I think that we're in for a pretty good run of seasons foby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Great post Rock and I agree completely. Society has, in general over the years, gotten so tribal. Me vs. You. Us vs. Them. It seems no one wants to work together to try to find common ground anymore and it's all so acrimonious all the time. Anyway, off the soapbox. If this is Smith's way of setting the tone of negotiations, three years in advance, then I fully expect a long and painfulby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
It's an event! We always go down to my brother-in-law's house in Oceanside, CA. He makes the best wings and chili! There's usually a crowd of about 10-12 people. We get there early, watch some golf before the game, then eat, drink and talk about the game and football in general the whole time. It's a good time! The downside is going to work on Monday ... ugh.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam I'm not trying to be argumentative or obtuse. I'm asking a legitimate question. What team is the last Superbowl winner that was RB oriented and thus had a great RB who was focus and primary contributor to winning the Superbowl? And if it goes back years and years before we can come up with one, that bolsters my theory that perhaps a great RB is the wrong focus for building aby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

Gurley is a huge weapon in this offense, not just as a runner. As a matter of fact, I would argue that if he was used more in the Atlanta game we would have been playing the next week. He is a complete player. You don't trade guys like that who are young, healthy and inexpensive. Your argument could be said about #1 WRs as well. How many have come and gone over the years that never won a Sby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Deadpool, thanks very much for sharing your hard work. You obviously spend a great deal of time on it. It gives the rest of us some meat to chew on as we approach the draft. Thanks again.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm in the "I want Watkins back" camp as well. I also believe that if we retain him, he'll be a much bigger factor in the game plan than he was in 2017. I think it's very, very important to sign this guy.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Those are incredible! If I had to choose though I think I would choose the helmet chair. Your daughter is very talented, and going to a good school. I went to Chapman too ... although I don't want to say how many moons ago THAT was!by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEastRam Nice clean pop. Actually he should have leaned in harder With his shoulder. Should not have been a flag. He didn't lead with his head he put his shoulder in first.

QuoteNewMexicoRam Handles the last game of the season? Handles the play calling? Handles both? To me, the play calling was the issues more so than any rest.[/quote I was specifically talking about the resting/not resting issue. So if the Rams are in the same situation next season where the last game doesn't have any bearing on playoff seeding, does he rest his starters again or not?by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLos Angeles Lenny This is why I blogged about trusting Snead. I think he over payed Tree, I can not defend the TA contract, he is not a shrewd business man. Believe me I do not want the second coming of John (Snow) Shaw but he is terrible as far as a contract negotiater. Example: we have AD coming up and I bet Snead gives him a Suh like contract that severely limits our ability to (re)siby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams_81 we don't know why and there could me other reasons. I believe not competing that last game was bad for attitude and energy. Most don't think it mattered at all. Cause and Effect is difficult to isolate with a small sample of data. There is no way to prove it either way. Very true. So all we have left is opinion.
