That was incredible, Grits. Can't thank you enough for sharing that. Brought back a flood of memories. And a few tears... Wow!by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know quite how to respond, zn. Saying that because one is tired of hearing something repeated over and over and over doesn't mean that one has a legit argument against? Seriously? Isn't that a two way street? I mean, aren't you doing that very thing about the QB and OL injuries as excuses for Fisher's shortcomings? All the while ignoring his mediocrity since at least '08? Or '03,by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRampage2K- If they lay an egg, then yes, I'm back on the fire Fisher bandwagon :spintounge But to me, he is just the scapegoat- this is a players league and there has to come a time when we start to hold them accountable also. Brady Quinn was on Sirius the other day and his partner was trying to bash Fisher and Brady said that he loved Fisher in the short time he was there andby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, waterfield, I enjoyed the game, too. Especially the dramatic ending to secure the win. Clearly, we have an entertaining D. Our ST ain't too shabby, either. But our O has been mostly futile so far this season. I mean, mind numbingly futile. Nine total points and no TD's total through 2 games pretty much says it all. We were last on O in '15, but this continued trajectory would beby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams_81 I was sleeping at the wheel. Which game did he play last year. I figured it be at the end of the year, but went through games and can't find it. I see 7 attempts. Hate to be wrong. I thought I was wrong once but was wrong. :) This time it appears I am wrong. Bengals game. We were on the wrong end of a blowout loss.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams_81 Austin is Rams second best player on offense behind Gurley. I don't think he is great, but he is the best chance the Rams have in making a big play out of nothing. If the Rams had a competent offense, I could understand your position. Get more of a solid WR that can catch the ball and move the chains, but the Rams offense doesn't create opportunities to make routine plays likby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
There's one thing that I've heard from posters that observed the games from the stands and from those watching the All 22. They've both consistently commented that Keenum is not seeing open receivers downfield. I mean, either he doesn't see them, or he doesn't think he can get the ball to them. Or maybe both. Goff, despite his inexperience, could probably take better advantage of those openby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLMU93 I'd be frustrated too. Yup, 93. Me, too... We are currently wasting an elite RB so far this season. Look, when a D sells out to stop Gurley, they necessarily must give up something else. The job of our OC and QB is to identify that "something else", and punish the D accordingly. Shouldn't require superhuman effort, just simple adjustments.

Well DANG, stlramz! You have outdone yourself, sir. You have a gift of story telling. Hope to see more of your wonderful stories, man. Meanwhile, many thanks for this one.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
What if "winning ugly" is our ceiling with this bunch? Fisher Boras Keenum Maaaaybe things will take an upswing once Goff has his feet on the ground. Maybe... But Geez. When is THAT gonna happen? Meanwhile, we're wasting the talent of an elite RB. Mind boggling.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Excellent point about the audibles. Can't Keenum see when the called play is against the teeth of the D he sees at the LOS? He's a 5 year vet, for cryin' out loud! He has the authority, doesn't he? Makes me crazy, sometimes...by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker C'mon 43, it's just a LITTLE bit early to say all that isn't it? Hit the brakes already LOL. Your posterior is showing. Yep, it's only been 2 games, Les. Point taken. But after those two games, could the contrast between the two career paths be more dramatic? I mean, Wentz is the toast of the town in Philly with a 2-0 record out of the box.

QuoteSoCalRAMatic Let's revisit in 5 years. Or better, 10. By then we should know who was a better pick. I'm confident to say that Peyton was a better choice than Leaf. Leading up to the draft it looked like a hard decision. When I watched their college games Leaf looked better to me. He was the better athlete. Now Peyton is going into the HOF and Leaf is one of the poster children for greatest bby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- QuoteRams43 QuoteRampage2K- It's pretty simple really... Wentz played 5 years in a system that is very similar to what he is running in Philly. Bradford was traded.

If Fisher wants to put an end to his "7-9 BS", then he has to start stringing together a few wins. Including out of division wins. And road wins. Otherwise, the 7-9 BS will never end. Sure hope Fisher can win me over this season. A Tampa win would be another nice step in the right direction.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebigjimram21 Keeps taking those hits he will look like a guy with a hat,earpiece, and clipboard roaming the sidelines. True, bigjim. But that's an easy thing to correct, don't you think? Much, much easier than the multitude of things that Goff still has to learn.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteno name Keep in mind that the decision to start Wentz looks and sounds a lot easier when Philly starts his career against the Browns and Bears. They are amongst the worst defenses in football.

Quotebigjimram21 Eagles are proving to be a better team especially on offense than the Rams. Much better coaching too. Wentz spent five years in a pro style offense ,learning protections and knowing when to get out of a bad play. Finally the two teams he has faced could be two of the worst teams in football defensively. That said he looks really good but if he continues to take those hby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Goff may light it up when he gets in there too. If the Rams traded Keenum before the season, Goff would be starting too. C'mon, Hazlet. Goff never gave the Rams ANY reason in camp or preseason to believe that he could start opening day which would allow them the luxury of even THINKING about trading Keenum away. Trading Keenum to the Broncos was never a realistic possibilby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Wentz is not only starting, but he's winning games and impressing in the process. He looks like he's been in the league for a year or two, already. Goff has only been active in one game and has not seen a single snap. Moreover, Fisher seems willing to wait indefinitely to start Goff when he's "ready". Fans are speculating maybe game 5, maybe after the bye, maybe not until next year.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here are J Lau's season totals thus far. Four unassisted tackles plus 6 more assisted tackles. Here are Ogletree's season totals so far. Nineteen unassisted plus two assisted tackles. Any questions? Now, to be fair, we are comparing a somewhat aged J Lau to a Tree not yet even in his prime. But still... The Rams clearly upgraded their MLB position.

QuoteRampage2K- QuoteRams43 Actually, Cooper was active yesterday. Only reason I know this is that he dropped a pass from Keenum that hit him in his danged hands. A completion that would have given us a 1st down and kept a drive alive in a very tight ballgame. Might have gotten him pulled, because I don't recall another Cooper target all game long. Having said the above, I would favoby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky QuoteRams43 QuoteGreatRamNTheSky All summer long I've been preaching that Troy Hill needs to be starting. His ball skills are very very good and better than anyone else's on the team except maybe TruJo and even that in my opinion is up for debate. This guy can play and he's as good a cover corner as the Rams have had next to Jenkins and Johnson the last 5 years. Gritsby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
