I was expecting better than that from him! Too many dropped passes and mental errors!! Anyone else think we draft another TE? I like the kid and hope he redeems himself next year.by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
How many players were injured today in this "meaningless" game? Thankfully none were to Goff, Gurley, Whitworth, Sullivan, Woods, Donald or any other important cogs in our wheel. Sometimes you are "damned if you do...and damned if you don't". Sit em or play em?? IMO, could backfire either way. I sure do not know the right answer and glad I didn't have to make that call lol.

QuoteRockRam I'm sure most if not all you know about Spotrac because it deals mostly with player contracts. A great resource. In looking at their 2018 FA list, and what they deem market value is, they say that Watkins should get a 4 yr. $36.8 mil contract. Now, to my mind, if they are in the ball park, and if Watkins and his agent agree with that range, if I was the Rams I'd give that to hiby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamgator To have as many able bodies from that 1979 Rams team as Captains at mid field for the coin toss?? ESPECIALLY Youngblood! Yeah, that would be very cool. Then after we beat them, give rings to the boys who lost in '79!!by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield "Let's be honest, in St. Louis Stan did not want him to have a winning team." And you actually "know" this because...? I don't know it for sure (just as you don't know for sure that I am wrong) but IMO, it would have been a lot harder to get approval to move the team if they just won the Superbowl.

QuoteBilly_T When I watch him on those runs where he breaks free -- even on the most recent one that had that really high MPH count (21.4?) -- I swear it looks like he's not running full speed. Other players, like a Tavon Austin, seem like they hit their max at times, and you think, "That's it. That's their top gear." Not Gurley. I may be alone in this observation, but I think it'sby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteMamaRAMa I'm curious about something. The Front Office includes administrative positions filled with people who handle player transportation (local and cross country), lodging, player development, facility management, and lots of other day-to-day operations issues. So, what exactly did Fisher do to "move the team" when the bulk of the tasks to accomplish the move fell on so mby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams I'm not buying it either. The reality is, Fisher was never a good hire. Not saying he was a great HC. Not even close. Just saying his "hands were tied" due to the move. Once the move was completed, his offensive failure did him in. His D was not bad. That is a FACT. He drafted some decent D players. That is a FACT. And yes, IMO, he was good hire if you considerby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlrams13 He won ugly and lost even uglier. I really think the way we lost the last few games is what did it. And then the Atlanta debacle was the final straw. Thank goodness. His philosophy on football is outdated, antiquated, and boring. We are back attacking teams on both sides of the ball, and playing to outscore each opponent early and often. It's the old Bill Walsh philosopby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
The reality of the Fisher era is is quite clear to me. I really only count his last year here. Let's be honest, in St. Louis Stan did not want him to have a winning team. If he was successful his first few years, the league would never have allowed the Rams to move to L.A.. The move was "priority #1". Fisher was hired to "move the team". There were no expectations of winningby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram Sitting players to avoid injury?!?! How many ACL injuries have occured during non-contact drills?!? Pfffft I don't like it. :noway Wow...you are right!! I hope McVay holds out the starters from any contact drills this week!! ;) Seriously though, we will be ok but there are good points for both sides on this issue.by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHeadslap75 I will say this for Tavon Austin he has been a team first guy. He obviously isnt earning the big contract but management gave him that contract he wasnt holding out or demanding anything....so maybe the criticism is a bit misdirected. He very easily could have been a cancer or distraction but has handled being yanked off PR and diminishing role with class imo.. I would add tby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

No apologies from me for feeling good about my team. All you points is understood and acknowledged. I have no doubt you are right and all those fans have a right to feel good about their teams.

QuoteCROMWELL21 Rams have no third string QB as Brandon Allen is on the IR. If Mannion gets hurt do the Rams put Goff in behind backup OL? Also the Rams only have three backup OL. What if Williams, Lucas, Blythe, Brown or Havenstein get hurt. I guess my question is it sounds almost dangerous not to play your starters at least for a half. Maybe McVay can suit up!! He already knows the plays!!by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteOCRamRef68 Who cares!! They should worry about filling their own half filled stadium. Have you seen a game there lately? There are a bunch of fans dressed up as empty red seats! Awesome!! Nice post Sir!! :thumbsupby Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- Agree..... I think I'm just a bit jaded by last year by all the negative comments about Goff, but it seems some people are chomping at the bit for Goff to fall flat on his face in a game this year. Nice to see Goff hasn't given them the pleasure of that once! Same here 2K. Too many negative comments about Goff and other players as well.

Quotetonyde Quoteramithard I got a couple extra.........hoping to scalp some Saints fans...... I got a couple extras too, but I won’t sell them to the other teams fans unless they’re paying off my mortgage! Lol. I’ve been waiting too long for my Rams get a home playoff game. I want the Coliseum rocking with RAMS fans! Kudos to you Sir!!! Too many tickets get sold to the other teams fans!by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
I hope we try a lot of FG's this week just to give our new kicker some extra Ficken practice. Good or bad, let's see what this kid can do in his second NFL game. I am pulling for him to do well. If he doesn't do well, there better be another round of tryouts!by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCrazylegs crawling with 49er fans! Ughh!...They are really ridin' high now! They really do think that their problems are over...Ughhh! Rams Coach McVay saying he's going to "rest players" will most likely cause many Ram fans not to come. My guess is the 49er fans will be there in droves! It's OK Grits. Just think about where those same Farty-Whiner fans will be in 2 weeks.by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit Quoteden-the-coach No practice until tomorrow. So shouldn't they have held tryouts today, so that a new kicker, if selected, could have a full day of practice tomorrow? That's what I was thinking too. :)by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteCROMWELL21 Carpenter in 2016. 17 for 26 in FG. 40 for 45 in xp. Wow!! Was he injured? Kickers can be sooo streaky. Wasn't it just 2 years ago when Greg The Leg was a little inconsistent too?by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Do you really want the optics of the 49ers coming into the Coliseum and blowing out the Rams? Is that what you want to see? Considering all the BS talk that is promoting the 49ers right now on THIS BOARD?! Might be wise on the Rams part to kick some Whiner butt on Sunday and worry about the playoffs later. Just saying.

Quotedodgerram No need to risk injury even if its vs the Whiners. Same for guys like Donald or Quinn. Need those players in the playoffs. Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Agreed. Play them if we can still get a bye...rest them if we have nothing to gain. :)by Ramsdude - RamsFootballFans.com
