Excellent review, Alyo. As usual. Yeah, Britt actually is on track for a thousand yard season. I was surprised to read that, so I looked it up. No TD's, though. And that was a killer fumble that he had. I doubt that previous Ram teams could have survived that and/or Keenum's pick six. But there's just something about this team...

Quotemerlin I think that's the only way we are going to win this game. Their defense vs our offense in their house is in their favor no matter how you slice it. Our strength is Gurley, who hasn't really gotten the seams he needs yet, so while I do think we can run the ball on AZ it won't be early on. Rams will need to weather that storm at the start defensively. Then hope the offense starby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 Not only the heat and humidity, but that they played with 6 DL vs. 8 for a big chunk of the game. And I think that fumble/TD by Westbrooks- as much as it helped them win the game- also had an affect as it put the defense right back out there again. They have eight players on defense that played 73 or more defensive snaps. Six that played 85+. In fact, a concern I have is them havinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that it is perfectly possible to enjoy the fandom and the wins while still engaging in constructive criticism. Constructive criticism does not make one even a tiny bit less of a Ram fan. I mean, we're all adults here, right? Nothing wrong with posting observations of team, coaching, or player shortcomings. What kind of a boring board would it be if everyone only posted "hby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebrownsugar We need 23+ points, how are we doing that? Not that complicated, sugar. Sound fundamentals with good execution on O could get us your 23 points, and a whole lot more. Our OL has been sputtering, but if they can finally gel then Gurley will get his creases and his big plays. If the drops cease, drives will stay alive and we not only get TD's, but we win the TOP battle anby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 It's coming. You saw glimpses vs. Tampa. His YPC would have been higher had he not fallen at the one on that 16-yard run. As the OL continues developing he'll find more room. Arizona is in the bottom 6 in both rushing yards and YPC allowed. Todd's breakout game last year was week 4 @ARZ. Maybe history can repeat. Rams need more involvement from the TEs in the passing game. Yuby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Geez. Why are we even arguing here, zn? This thread topic was about Todd Gurley and whether he was ready to breakout. In my first post I referenced about 5-6 things that would help him in that regard. One of which was that Keenum needed to more threaten deep and that he hadn't until that 3rd game. Coincidentally, that happened to be Gurley's best game, btw. Just sayin'. Instead of absorbby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Gaines might be a bit rusty. I hate to say it, but he probably will be. But Troy Hill has been a pleasant surprise. So there is that. And Palmer doesn't quite look the same as last year. So it's not as if things are hopeless for us.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Pete Carroll: Russell Wilson has a sprained MCL Posted by Josh Alper on September 26, 2016 Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson went for an MRI on his injured knee after Sunday’s victory over the 49ers and the results call into question whether he’ll be able to start against the Jets in Week Four.

I've gotta say that #5 and #6 resonate with me, 49. The rest? Not so much. 5) I saw that "vacant" stare of Goff's, too. And it bothered me. I mean, it bothered the HECK out of me. I wanted to shake him when I saw that. Handed this golden opportunity and to look bored there? Gawd! 6) Yeah, Wentz, Prescott, and Brissett are making Goff look bad. Could largely be coaching.

Todd Gurley is not among the top 5 problems on this O. The OL is busy "regelling" after being reset on the fly from the preseason unit. Keenum hasn't presented an ability to threaten a D until yesterday. Even then, it wasn't a serious threat. Kendricks and Higbee have not opened up the middle to any serious degree.

Thanks for sharing that, md. A classic example of blind homerism and disrespecting an opponent, huh? The author forgot that the Rams were 4-2 in the division last year?

You say that you refuse to dwell in the past, Grits. Then you go on and on about the terrible roster that Fisher inherited in '12. That was FIVE years ago!

I'm not all that upset by it either, ARF. When a team wins, most people tend to let these kind of things slide.

Robert Quinn is a trancendant player, when healthy. There's only a handful of them in this league. True game changers. This can be a top 5 D if Quinn can remain healthy.
