QuoteDeadhead Ram He’s a thumper but deep coverage seems to be suspect. Likes to bite early, than play catch-up. Russell Wilson will make him pay if it continues. He was beaten (at least) three times in the Bears game, but Foles only made him pay once. The last once was bad. 4th-and-long near the end of the game. He bit, and was badly beaten. I love his run support, but, honestly, after aby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Ok; that sounds fair. I don't think Goff is there yet either, but I believe that he has the talent and the work ethic to get there. Just keep in mind however that RW didn't deliberately throw three terrible passes so that his team would lose. So doesn't it stand to reason that if an All-Time-Great like him can make a bad throw or play a bad game, in this his 8th year as a profesby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit QuoteSuh-weet!And I *really* care about the occasional terrible decision. *IF* it really was as bad as it looked, that near-int close to halftime looked like a bad decision at a terrible time. It was 10-3 at the time; that play could have completely changed the complexion of the game - and there was little upside to it. Fair enough.

Quotemax And keep his foot on the gas with that Ram running game. It’s not only effective but it tires the opponent while breaking their spirit. Love the RB rotation and look forward to seeing Akers included. Akers is gonna be an after the bye contributor. And it may depend on Henderson or Brown getting banged up. Patience is called for here.

Quotemax So if Goff wasn’t good, what were the other guys who were at least 20 points worse than him? I didn't even see any of those other games. And I don't even care that much about the occasional inexplicable miss, in general. I do care if the inexplicable miss comes on 3rd down.

Quotemax That’s 20 points better than any other QB the Bears faced this year. Brady 84.7 Stafford 76.3 Rivers 86.3 Bridgewater 46.8 Ryan 66.4 Jones 66.7 Goff got some pressure, but the OL held up well, and Goff made the throws when he needed to, like the big throw to Reynolds.

QuoteClassicalwit Tonight, we're going to find out if the Rams are one of them. We will know so much when this game is over. You really think we'll know "so much" after this game, vs. what a lot of folks (think they) *knew* after the Bills' game or 49ers game?

Quotespagsbacker right again. He had a bunch of supporters, actually. You and I have been among a bunch of folks who saw plenty of promise in him even last year.

Under what hypothetical circumstances would you not place JG under your critical *microscope*? I think he's a good QB - top-3rd w/a real chance to get to top-7, even top-5. So, for me, it'd take a string of bad performances to really move me off that because he's shown me plenty over the last 3+ seasons. So the questions I consider well-answered are: is this guy good?

QuoteLeoram I've seen enough to know. The Rams were pretty good through the 70's. We had a few good teams in the 80's. The 90's mostly sucked but had some moments. The GSOT was special but was followed by an historically inept stretch until McVay came aboard. Sean's first two years spoiled us to expect greatness. That's what made last year hard to watch. That has carried us over to this year.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax He actually moved well in the pocket in SF and made the OL look better than it would have in past years. That deep ball to woods was a great play by Goff. Woods could have gotten a PI on it if he turned into DB. On his chest, in both hands. The CB was there too, to be sure, but the ball was definitely catchable.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz I knew they couldn't keep him after three missed extra points in six games Leaving aside the reason why they thought Sloman had earned the job in the first place, I think the timing was just right. They gave the kid a chance, not only the six games, but, really, there was only one kick - 53 yds into the wind at Buffalo - he might not be expected to make. And no crazy high-pressuby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram Well, he certainly didn't us against the 49ers. MamaRams and droopy mentioned this in the GTF but the more I think about it the more my blood boils. If Sloman had made the extra point it would have been 21-10 when the Rams had 4th and goal at the 2. At that score you kick the FG and make it an 8 point game. (And I know I'm giving Sloman the benefit of the doubt on that FGby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePHDram They did stink it up but its still one game. Are the chiefs in trouble because they lost to the raiders? Bills have now lost 2 in a row. Do you think they are still a pretty good team?

QuoteLeoram QuoteJimYoungblood53 First of all I will give Bryant his due because he was a major headache for the Rams for far too long.

QuoteOld Goat Nice stuff, 43. I was talking with my son the other day on how they were using Ramsey this season and that what he said at the beginning of the season about him being used different than "just a corner" was true. We were just going over some of the plays where we noted it. And he's just been so physical doing what he does that it's a natural fit. The one real *weakness*by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams Junkie "Only three teams in the NFL have allowed more sacks than the 49ers." Jus' saying. And, of course, Rams got a HUGE sack boost feasting on a really overmatched Washington OL.

QuoteRamsfsninmd ...are very efficient in offense so far this year and Goff's rating is way over 100 this year. Of course you need a really good QB to win and Goff is that in my opinion.

QuoteRamsfsninmd ...when they are scoring 30+ points they are running it well. If they become pass heavy, they are of course able to score, but more bad things can happen (sacks, fumbles, INT's).
