....was a move for the long term, not just 2019. I understand the risk of him playing this year and next year and not signing a long term deal and the disaster of the picks given up for 1.6 seasons of him, but you gotta think his agent and Rams brass are talking parameters of a new deal. I get he does not address the woeful OL, and yes, they could have drafted a OT in the first round next yeaby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

....reading Whitworth and Weddle say "Don't worry, we will be alright, Mr. Kroenke", I expect them to say that as players and leaders. But as a fan, I see this team is not even close to being a final two team....much less be a final eight team...the defense is not very good (my gosh, take AD99 away and they are well below average)...

...these losses make it more of a certainty they are a wild card team and play on the road and an extra game. Really hard for Goff who is terrible in cold weather... And yes, I cannot think of a worse regular season loss...meaning so gut wrenching...by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
Tough loss...by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...Goff was unreal. SO underrated in my opinion. (Though I am questioning the heart of Talib and Peters tackling however. Unprofessional). But, my point is not how hard they played and where it was, they lost. Bottom line business. I do not want to take GZ out for some milk and cookies. I appreciate all he has done, especially the 57 yarder vs NO in the NFCC game. But he CANNOT missby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
....I still feel sick to my stomach. I have read a lot of excellent posts today but bottom line this team will have a very hard time winning the division to secure a home playoff game and a bye. It does not look good. At all. You see this team going east to face PHI, or GB, or CHI in January and winning? Last year was their year and everything lined up. GZ's kick goes in last year.

Exactly. They have to run the ball. They cannot get down in SEA which until lately was a house of horrors. This team is very good and big game tested, but it does seem like an unusually important week four game with all the Gurley drama, McVay being on edge, the defense looking really, really, really bad, the OL in disarray.... I am personally not confident seeing how they are acting andby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...Clayton makes good points, but Arizona is simply not very good. Like bottom five team. With a very poor OL and a young, young QB and a not very good defense. Proverbial grain of salt. That being said, they will try and run it down the Rams throat like they did last year. They GASHED the Rams. 32 carries for 190 yards in the first game, 34 carries for 273 yards in the second. SEVEN Yby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
I gotta think due to the 70 pass attempts/short week/lack of a running game/tough road trip/horrendous defensive play on Sunday at home that the Rams plan on running the ball a LOT against SEA. Of course game situations dictate the actual play calls, but I think a lot of Gurley/Brown and maybe Henderson. If Gurley is not good, you gotta run Brown a ton. I think this will be like Week 16 laby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it is unbelievable that they continue to produce offensively for 20 years and Brady has a LOT to do with that, but some teams draft OL high or have lots of talent and are never even decent or cohesive much less a team in the AFC Championship Game every year with a top five or ten offense every year. It is truly nauseatingly, amazing and unbelievable....by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
That is the thing with the Patriots. Belicheck on defense is constantly coaching them up where they slide in new players or adjust week to week and they seem to have very few hiccups, and their OL coach (Dante Scarnecchia with 48 years of coaching) must be amazing (along with McDaniels) where they get guys who are not highly rated to provide Brady with enough time (he is like a computer back theby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
Okay, stay with me here. If the Rams are learning to adjust to the 6-1 defense front they are facing, and it seems one of the keys is running straight up the middle to offset this, and Suh is so known for freelancing to try and get sacks and leave the middle wide open, should McVay and Co. be able to exploit this and have a potentially great rushing day at home this Sunday? The Rams wilby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

....is so vital, not so much for his ability (he is a sure tackler), but aligning everyone. He is such an upgrade over LeMarcus Joyner simply because he lines everyone up. I think BAL let him go as they need more athleticism in their DB field (though they are really struggling through three games as they were suppose to have a dominant DB field) and they are so much better. BAL had two olderby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
....freelanced quite a bit and was not thrilled with his role being more grunt work than pressuring the QB and he was not willing to do the dirty work week in and week out. He also was not giving 100% during the season, but was really good in the playoffs. In other words, I don't think the Rams miss Suh....by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...we all see how the dreaded Patriots always look average in September and by the end of the year they are so much better. The truly great teams get better as the season progresses, and I have faith and confidence Aaron Kromer and Co. will get the OL in better shape. The average to bad teams get exposed, notwithstanding major injuries, etc.by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
....we knew the league would have answers to McVay's offense and in the first half and early into the third quarter the Saints D had added a quick pass rushing front (Davenport, Hendrickson and Jordan wreaked havoc on Havenstein and Co.) and the Rams offense and Goff looked like the Goff/Fisher offense. Bu then they adjusted, Goff threw some bullets and they won by 18. I know Brees was a hugeby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

...etc., this week as Goff had a low QBR and he did not play well, the OL was rated low, the WR's did not kill it and the Rams still scored 30 on the road across three time zones for a 10am start for their bodies in the heat against a formidable DL. I realize they had a short field for a TD but missed a 41 yard FG. Really good to see that...by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
Kudos to Coach McVay switching it up: "Both McCoy and Addison also said they were somewhat taken aback by how often the Rams ran the ball out of the shotgun, something they didn’t have a tendency to do last season en route to the Super Bowl."by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
