Hoard picks for Manning... lol nm - 5 days ago

Kidding... or am I? hmmm

Its injuries and nothing else... - 5 days ago

Everything stems from injuries. Were there mistake made. Probably but nothing major. We don't know the inside scoop on Jones... however we wouldn't have won any more games with him. So while it's not a non-factor, it's concerning at most. We knew the defense was behind. It was going to take probably 6+ games before things got sorted and players caught up. But with a potent offense... which the

Could have easily made a difference - 5 days ago

I was going to say the last couple of games but I guess the entire season solar.But what I meant is the Rams with Avila would have had a much better shot a winning the last two games... and certainly against the packers. It's exciting to think how well Williams and even Corum will do once the OL is healthy... and by proxy, Stafford and vice versa. I am a little disappointed that Robinson hasn'

Exactly - 6 days ago

Not sure about 4-1 but definitely could be... and wouldn't that be a kick in the head considering the Rams are competitive despite the injuries. I see the Rams as a .500 or better team just based on what we've seen. Get 5 or 6 starters back and ... should be the great team we expected. However, I am impressed with how far the Rams have come since the cardinal game... heck even the niner game was

Jacobs 19 for 73 for 3.8 yards a carry - 6 days ago

Defense is a work in progress imo. They have improved every game. Credit to Shula and McVay. Edit... Against one of the strongest running teams... They were 2nd in the league.

I agree. nm - 6 days ago

Probably shouldn't have beaten the niners. Probably should have beaten the lions, bears and packers. I see improvement every week and often surprised by the comments here. The biggest concern I have is McVay and Stafford pressing... if they even are... but I feel like they are a little. lol Otherwise I am very hopeful. Wins cure all. But I've never paid as much attention to wins as some d

How cute. This little company is selling books online - 7 days ago

Nice idea, I hope they make a go of it. Hey did you see they are coming out with computers with 1GB of disk space? Man, we'll never need that much. OK, the 5MB file I've been downloading for 20 minutes is almost done. Also, remind me to make a call, I want to buy stock in polaroid... And that's the way it was in the 90's. So much opportunity... a blind monkey could have hit it with poop... but no

Parkinson plays small - 8 days ago

180lb CB coming at me I better scoot out of bounds a yard shy of the first down marker. He has to get mad like that guy in Dodge Ball when he sees Hasselhoff getting friendly with his wife.

Its kind of hard to wrap my brain around... - 8 days ago

But betting is a sticky situation... and could lead to some bad decisions. I believe him when he says he only bet on his team to win. But could he have gotten into trouble or was the spread ever an issue. I respect that baseball has stuck to their convictions... although I feel like Rose is not a bad person. I do believe he belongs in the HOF and I believe the commissioner made it personal... and

Who was the NT last year? - 8 days ago

IMO, the defense just needs more time. Reeder and Rozenboom are not the reason the Rams are losing but they're not really helping either... The secondary, that I thought would be a strength... I think they're improving, but that unit needs to play better. The offense is more the problem. They have to score touchdowns and run the ball effectively. I think they showed improvement in the run game.

I know what we are getting tomorrow... - 8 days ago

A 72 piece, assorted Chocolate Gold Gift Box, Gold Ribbon from GODIVA and a W in the win column.

If the Rams had Goff we would be winless right now - 12 days ago

There's no comparison. Goff is a fine QB but he isn't special like Stafford. Rams would have no Super Bowl and probably not make the playoffs with the Rams line up since the trade. I don't know... it's like the difference between Warner and Bulger. I think Bulger is probably the ceiling for Goff. Stafford elevates the p;ayers around him. A late round rookie breaks records... Does he do that on an

I was encouraged by quite a bit - 14 days ago

Not sure who thinks the Rams are a strong team right now. After the bye is when we will have an idea about the limits of the team. I’m surprised to see so many negative comments. I thought there were a lot of good things.

that is amazingly cool... nm - 21 days ago

My wife wrote one for me... My Charity Case. Why I married a lazy, undisciplined loser. She quotes from it daily... usually verbatim and nothing new. But when she does say something new, she says it's going in the next book. I can't wait. Seriously, that is wonderful for hero do that. I'd read it... is it on Audible? I think it needs to be.

I think the Rams were planning on being a potent offense... - 23 days ago

and that the defense would be playing from a lead more times than not. That said, the Rams defense is young and maybe some of the players are still thinking. I don't think anyone was expecting the defense to be great immediately. But if the Rams could run the ball and score points, I think the defense would look ok. At this point I feel like the real season starts after the bye... which is

Pretty sure there are plenty who would - 23 days ago

but its mostly by proxy because of the team he played on... and that team being known for cheating. There are plenty who publicly don't like him, I would guess there are quite a bit more that aren't public about it. But I agree that most players respect him... I was part of an online game and there were teams. We knew one team cheated, everyone knew but they were still respected as great p

Pretty sure they can review that... - 27 days ago

unless it had already been to a video replay... it was a first down but perhaps not enough to overturn it. Just like the first TD... only one foot down when the ball was secure but too close to overturn it. This was an everything went wrong game. A game of inches. Some of those calls go the other way and some of the plays that were or weren't made by a fingertip had a significant impact on the

if the Rams can't run the ball - 28 days ago

then they're toast. Running sets up everything. On defense I think we agreed we would struggle until the younger players get up to speed... but this seems like something more than that. The Rams have played without Donald before, there wasn't total defensive collapse. It's early in the season, so the sky is still intact... but the OL isn't missing enough pieces to completely not be able to

Need him to be just good enough - 28 days ago

for the niners to back a money truck up to his front door and strap themselves to a mediocre QB for the next 5 years.... $70 million a year is going to make things tough since they are only spending $1 million for the QB position now. Goodbye current talent the roster... window officially drywalled over... no more media love affair... and the universe is calmed and righted... and all is well.

I read that as a good article on JJ from Good Times. lol nm - 30 days ago

Loved that show.

Top 2 in the NFC? - 4 weeks ago

Based on that particular game, I wouldn't put the Rams in the top 5 in the NFC and the Lions would be lower.

Then Noteboom should just always wear them... nm - 4 weeks ago

He's just held together with twigs and elementary school paste.

If you had told me the defense was going to play this well - 4 weeks ago

I would have bet serious money on the game that the Rams cover the spread. But yes, it's a shame the Rams couldn't (or wouldn't... have to rewatch the game) get the running game going. The game was right there. I hate not kicking the FG... I am encouraged about the Rams but discouraged about losing a winnable game. I know the injuries on the OL probably had them adjusting the gameplay on t

the lions OL will be the best the Rams face this season, imo - 5 weeks ago

Goff will likely have plenty of time to throw and Gibbs will have holes to run through. It's a tough game to win on the road. The Rams OL issues don't help. A few injuries and the corners are all of a sudden a weak spot. The defense will need to keep the play in front of them and hope for a mistake or for their offense to bog down in the red zone. It's a hard way to win a game. Goff can just

Take your pick... - 5 weeks ago

Does Patrick Peterson make sense? - 5 weeks ago

I'm still not sure why Witherspoon isn't on the team. Peterson seems to be an ideal safety/corner hybrid. And when Williams comes back, if Peterson is playing well, Durant becomes the 4th corner. Peterson has enough experience to contribute anywhere... and he wants a ring. Money could be an issue but the window is open, imo.

22 points per game? 7 to 8 wins? Awful defense? - 5 weeks ago

Regressing by a point per game from last season... despite the team staying healthy. The entire team regresses although it appears that Karty will be pretty effective. The defense will rank near last in sacks and rushing yards. Wow. I feel like someone isn't paying attention but I guess we will see. However he does have Speights in for Reeder after about 3 or 4 games.

Snow and Dempsey I remember.

I too would have said Cary Grant - 6 weeks ago

Just about perfect star appeal. imo Sean Connery. Morgan Freeman. Anthony Hopkins. A stretch would be Robert Downey Jr or Brad Pitt but not really. Cary Grant was pure class and charm... add in Audrey Hepburn and the screen overflows with class and charm. lol

right and its ST as a whole - 6 weeks ago

The lack of value they placed in a competent kicker was a bit of a shock, especially when I feel like it cost them at least one game. And they seem to not get the same quality of coaching (coaches?)on ST. And then they get someone like Powell who excels at returning kicks... and replace him with someone not as capable. I don't mind Williams returning punts. I'm not sure he is very good at it b
