QuoteDeadpool If I have to listen to Collinsworth talk up his other business (pff) one more time I might actually puke. So I did miss that, I will say this, on that 1st TD drive they nickle and dimed Philly to death. And they could have done that the entire game. They were not that far down. Heck it was tied at the half. I don't share the disdain for Collinsworth. I am just kind of indiffereby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesstrams ..and up to this point I don't think he has to - he's been a one man wrecking crew, at times..

QuoteDeadpool as far as a Goff passing chart. I didn't leave it out because it didn't fit my narrative. But the Bears game was such an outlier IMO just because of all the pressure and missed passes (and some of his open wrs were deep) and utter lack of a running game. Goff is going to have to re-adjust to what he is looking at, because what he saw in the first 10 weeks is not what he is seeingby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadpoolIMO they haven't really changed their approach enough. Well we could get into some minor disagreements about "enough." But the difference from the Bears game was stark. It was clear they they had emphasized a short passing game as part of their overall approach v. the Eagles. It was there, it was visible.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
He won a couple of games for them and sealed a couple of other wins. He is so dangerous that one repeat theme in the last 2 losses is the opposition devoting extra resources all game long to countering him. Now are Suh, Brockers, Fowler, Ebukam, Littleton, and Barron worth THEIR money? Because when Donald draws THAT MUCH attention, they're supposed to be taking advantage of it.

QuoteDeadpool The underneath stuff was there all night last night and Goff or McVay refused to take it. . They were throwing underneath all game. So much so that it was one of the main themes in Collinsworth's running commentary on the Rams offense. It was visible while it was happening and so was also a running theme in the chat room I was in.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebillster1212 Just throwing this out there because at one point in the game he had been crunched by 3 defenders and one of them hit him straight helmet to helmet. He finished the game fine...but some people thought he had the flu in the detroit game because he looked "off " and his decision making is suspect to say the least in spite of the pressure he is getting.

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw But they had a better sense to help out. Hi. Not sure what that meant. B) The 99 Rams also had a 28 year old qb and a young LOT. Which is probably a better combination than a 23 year old qb and an old LOT. Plus the 99 defense was a legit top 10 unit.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSteve Mr Reynolds, I see the same Ram team 3 games in row: no heart, no physicality. IF that changes,they can win hte super bowl. But, I ain't bettin' that one bit...and Goff doesn't look the same, either. I didn't see "no heart no physicality." I saw veteran coordinators do 2 things. One is sit on the Rams deeper routes and basically dare them to throw underneath. I alsoby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteNewMexicoRam They can get it done. But it looks so agonizing to get there. The football sense, the seemingly lack of effort, the strange plays, the lack of discipline. It all adds up to close game after close game, then losses to teams you should not be losing to. Are they tired, like in 1969? Where did you see "lack of effort"?

QuoteRam49 I'm moving between anger and throwing up watching this team. My post game observations as of this moment: 1. Not a coincidence that McVay has choked against two of Andy Reid's top disciples. You can bet they have all talked. 2. McVay shocks me. He could move into a West Coast scheme and own these games.... but he isn't patient. He won't dink and dunk...and teams have figured thatby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDeadhead Ram He needs to take this matter seriously. Fire Wade if necessary, bench some players but make some kind of statement. Your team is horrible right now and you better do something about it. With all due respect--to me going Hollywood means melodrama and not substance.

Quoteoldschoolramfan Now.........If Goff dumped it to Gurley on a few of those plays, then #30 would have had a "MONSTER" game. And fellow Ram Fans.........That is an "EASY" fix for Goff and the Rams. IF that analysis is accurate. And I have my doubts. It's hard to play when the DL is taking it to your OL that way. Eagles have a strong DL too, we'll see.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamUK Goff needs to be able to get the ball out more quickly when the O line has days like this. Most of those interceptions came from bad choices when under pressure, rather than the pressure itself. I'm sure the guy realizes it's not just all this or all that and was playing more of a Devil's advocate role. I think you're being generous to him (in that last, rid bit)by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K-Gurley had three runs of 9,11 and 12 yards and had another 8 runs for -6 yards....it was ugly. That's just not that far from normal. Against GB for example he had big runs against a worn down defense in the 4th quarter. The first 3 quarters it went like this. red = 3 yards or less blue = 4-7 yards green = long runs of 8 yards or more Before the 4th quarter, it's 7 rby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsfsninmd It is that time of year when teams that are going to go far into the post season start to have to adjust. The masters of this are the Patriots.

QuoteRamgator Been reading / hearing that Philly has us figured, the Lions and Bears stopped us etc. Thing is....Even us regular schmuck fans could see that the Rams have been playing a bit vanilla or just flat out throwing.
