I thought it was interesting to hear Snead talk about how he kept his job when he was asked on ESPNLA radio. He said that Kroenke and Demoff felt there were things that happened that were unfortunate. I think that was Sneads way of saying K and D felt that Snead wasn't responsible for the Fisher mess. And there were reports by Albert Breer that Snead and Fisher had a big falling out.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 But here’s my take, strictly from deductions made from things that I THINK I know. Kroenke is a hands off owner. So it would be out of character for him to have initiated this trade idea, other than possibly in an offhand remark to Demoff. Maybe. I seriously doubt that it was Fisher’s idea. He lacked the imagination or knowledge on O matters, preferring to focus on the D. I don’by max - RamsFootballFans.com
If no one should care who was responsible for the trade, why bother telling us you predicted it. Thats so funny. I mean all this in a nice way. Its just so funny to me.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

Seems to me that if you're an expert at analyzing football games you should be better than average at assessing who is gonna win. So far this year the favorites have won 65% of their games. So anyone can just pick the favorites and get to 65%. Now what about the football experts we see and hear from, how have they done? Here are a few of them.

I don't think the Vikings OL is all that good. Plus their running game took a huge hit when Cook went down. I think Wade will be dialing up some stuff that will get to Case, cause him to press and result in turnovers. Case is a fine backup, but he is short, with limited arm strength/talent, he's mobile but isn't going to beat you with his legs. These types of QBs usually crack under prby max - RamsFootballFans.com

If Goff plays well against the Vikes D, then its all systems go. He needs to play better than he did against Jax. If he does then we've got a great shot to win it all. I can wait 2 days to find out the answer.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I have faith that McVay gives the Rams an edge. The big question is is it enough with a 23 yr old QB.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I underestimated how bad Fisher was. Big mistake on my part. My hats off to Kroenke and Demoff for recognizing the extent of Fishers ineptitude and seeing that Snead was victimized by Fisher. And kudos to Demoff for having the foresight and guts to hire McVay.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
With all due respect, I simply disagree with everything you said to the point where it’s easier just to say whatever you posted put me down for the exact opposite. No hard feelings. I just have an opposite take. Yours is fine too, I just like mine better for me. I’ve laid out my take in many other threads, and I feel very comfortable with them.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
What do you think was behind the move to trade up for a QB?by max - RamsFootballFans.com
My point is that the Rams rolled up huge points on weak teams and have only played 3 teams with a winning record. Now they’ve got 5 of next 7 games against winning teams. Let’s see what happens to their point differential.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams padded their pt differential against weak teams. So it’s a bit misleading. The real tests come now. What we don’t know right now is how McVay and Goff will perform against these strong teams after having 9 games under their belt. They are better than they were 5 weeks ago, but how much better? I think what many are missing is the dynamic that has developed between McVay and Gofby max - RamsFootballFans.com
The chemistry between him and McVay looks good. Snead has some job security now and he deserves it.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

He was anti Fisher for years.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
He said he checked with the NFL to find out if there were limitations on voting for a guy in his 2nd year and they said no problem. He said he has a vote and is voting for Goff. And then he said most of the CPOY comeback from injuries and other physical adversities. But Goff came back from being coached by Jeff Fisher. And that deserves the award.

I heard this on TURNING POINT on the NFLC yesterday.... After the play Goff asked Hav if he held Clowney and Hav said "I back doored him" and Goff said "what's that?"

He’s not on the field that much. McVay is covering for the guy. He’s stuck with him for a year. Next year he’s gone.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s my prediction. If/when Goff turns out to be a star QB we will here from Kroenke taking credit for picking him. And it’s not as black and white as you’re making it regarding Fisher being “forced” to take a QB. Life isn’t that simple. Most times there are areas of gray. In this case it could simply be that Fisher was leaning toward keeping all the picks but wasn’t dead set against getby max - RamsFootballFans.com

A freak KO return for a TD on the last play of the game got them to the SB. That play happens once in a 100 times. Without that freak play the Titans are just another playoff team that never did much.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
If the Vikes still had Cook, that would be a much bigger problem. But they don't and their OL has some question marks that Wade will exploit. CK is a try hard guys who when pressed will try too hard and make miscues. I see that happening in this game. He will be exposed and I wouldn't be surprised to see Teddy before the game is over.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
