Though Baker did turn some head by playing beyond expectations, so who knows.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's not good. I know the team has been in turmoil and he's had different systems etc, but why do we always think these guys can be re-born if they were picked high in the draft? The Jets made a mistake, it happens. Not every college player can make the jump. Has this guy put more than a few quarters of good football on tape? I'm not even sure he'd be a good backup. Do you think he couldby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Did his players embrace his coaching? Did they play hard for him. I have no idea, but I think McVay has shown that Chemistry with him and the players is important.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
A 50/50 proposition at best!by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
For all the tough talk from the coach about biting knee-caps, etc the lions kind of wilted under pressure. They got punched in the mouth in the second half and just folded. Tough talk is one thing - having a roster of players with mental toughness is another. That team could use some more veterans who know how to keep it together. I mean - who stepped up in the second half to stop the bleedinby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Usually about midway through the year all the air escapes from the bubble and the Trojans are revealed as just a mediocre team with an expensive head coach. Plus McVay's got more job security than Riley.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Harbaugh was a really good NFL coach years ago and probably will be again, but Spanos and that front office will be a limiting factorby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The Ravens took the lions apart too - 38-6 I'd love for the Lions to win, but playing on the road + they played an extra game in the wildcard round. Their secondary is trash (to quote the betting commercial). Goff's weakness is dealing with pressure. That's kind of the 49'ers specialty - pressure without blitzing. Again, The Lions CAN pull the upset And I would love it. I just don'tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Beer sales are such a small percentage of team revenue, all it will take is a few more high profile - a fan died - kind of events and we could be headed that way. Tickets are too expensive to have to endure drunken haymaker fights. Now, will there be a lot of drinking before the game outside - hell yeah. The money is not in the stadium anymore. The money is on your tv set. The ticket salby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not like he retired and Love took over. He left because he wanted out. If he had elected to stay in GB them probably would have traded Love. So their model is not a given. Donald retiring after next year. I can see that, but I can also see him staying another year after that. Stafford - he seemed to be having fun this year and if the team continues to develop -why would he retire nexby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We need edge, cb more than anything. Maybe a left tackle. The idea is to prime for a run in 24 and 25. You can get a Bo Nix next year or the year after. Stafford is 35 - not 45. Donald needs help - now. That should be a priority. A better defense will take us far next year.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Chiefs or Ravens - won't matter. Lions or 49'ers can't beat either of them.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Every year they come up short. They have a great talent at QB and that's an advantage every year, but what kind of offense is this that they run? Have only seen a few games this year. No rhythm. They seem to have one weapon in Diggs who's up and down and maybe plays out of control sometimes. Every drive last night looked like a struggle. Not many people schemed open. And are they trying toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This feels more like kicking tires. Offensive coaches will likely have an edge, as usual, plus Bellichek and Harbaugh. The one wild card is the Panthers owner is terrible and there may be a hesitation for candidates looking at it seriously. Morris could be last man standing.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Who knows what makes this guy tick. He might get off on putting opposing players out of games. Or maybe he didn't mean it and he's just doesn't give an f about the health of his fellow players. Not sure anyone can say one way or another whether it's intentionalby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That's dirty play. Higbee wasn't the first.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I too will not be sad to see Morris go, if he does. The opening drive surrenders all season. The coverage mistakes leading to big plays, missed tackling. To be fair so much of it was the limited talent on that side of the ball - so, in that light, he did an admirable job with our rag tag outfit. But some new blood, both on the field and on the sideline might be good.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The catch was being juggled - hit up high, the hands and break it up, but no. When you go shoulder first at the knee of a defenseless player you should expect there will be an injury. Maybe he needs a consult with an orthopedist.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
there's no way to have that for sure work out. You're hoping to double dip. And how many times have we double dipped - scored at end of half and then scored at beginning of next?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You have to adapt to the team you have and our defense has been particularly bad in opening drives.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting discussion this am on NFL radio - it wasn't about the Rams, but got me thinking. Charlie Weiss was saying if your defense is a liability - why put them on the field first and possibly start the game down by points. He and Bob Papa were essentially saying there's no guarantee that you'll have the ball at the end of the half and first half possessions can vary a lot in terms of timingby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Man we were close. So close in this one. But in the light of day, we can be honest - this was a team with some glaring flaws. They held it together with chewing gum. We were not built for a championship run. That first half defense - looked pretty familiar didn't it. Every week we saw this in first halves - No resistance - Lions marched down the field 3 times in a row. Wide open receivers,by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
that one was shorter and closer - felt like they should have made a play for the lead there. What good does a field goal do for you there?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They lost. It stings. I get it. Now all the doubters come out of the woodwork and start picking at the coach once again. Retread posts from every time we lose a game or after last season. Why didn't they do what I think they should have done? - A mystery that will never be solved. We have a great coach and haven't had many great ones along the way.

Then you cancel the next day. How about other issues like how every commercial break is a flood of gambling sites in your face. Gamblings' not a problem though right? How about cost of parking and season tickets and PSL's and the thousand other ways the NFL vacuums money out of people. And this is the hill he wants to die on?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

That's a better headline. Football is fun to follow but the way they elevate trivial issues into 'revenge' and 'treated wrong' is hilarious. A coach forcing a concussed player to absorb contact in practice (hello bill belickek) is an example of someone being 'treated poorly'. Goff got an extension worth a lot of money - then got traded and didn't have to give any of it up. He still got paid.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't recall seeing any back and forth after the game or Monday, Tuesday with the usual reporters about whether they will bring in some competition this week. How can they not bring this up when it's a glaring problem?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

We're days away from the playoffs and this nimrod is lamenting another team firing a coach? Why should we care? You worry about what you can do on the field week in and week out, not the front office decisions of other teams in the league.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
