QuoteRams43 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 trajectby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteleafnose On top of fielding poor talent, or poor coaching schemes, and earning flags, and making mistakes, there still remains some room for "failing upwards." In almost any field, one may enjoy some success purely on showing up. In the case of sports, and the Rams, they've had some freakish odds against them. In a world of "coin toss" type success, it has remained a dby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
How often do good teams like NE and SEA even lose two or three in a row? You have to be consistent and string together more wins before aspiring to the playoffs. This sounds like the Captain Obvious, John Madden point that the team with more points wins, just observing that anything more than even a few game losing streak or multiple few game losing streaks inexorably seems to doom a team to failby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteTonyHunter87 Since Fisher has been coach. Thanks to both of you. Intuitively I thought it unlikely we would play a non-division team each of the last four seasons (now five), seemed like that would be a schedule anomaly?by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJoeMad no msg Just curious if this is about Fisher and/or Rams.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax He has always been 1-2 after 3 games. That's just the way it works with Fisher. Could 2016 represent a week 3 SYMMETRY BREAK! :)by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
If I'm not mistaken (looked this up recently, but don't feel like referencing again, if anybody knows off the top of their head). Doesn't SEEM like it should be such a monumental achievement. But there it is.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteferragamo79 nm I thought he played a great game (but also that he made strides over last year relative to a rough rookie campaign). But even more impressive and gutsy knowing about the injury. I can't imagine playing on a broken toe, hopefully med staff determined he can't make it worse (toe injuries ended the careers of players like Deion Sanders and O.J. McDuffie).

Sunday was a special day in Los Angeles as the Rams (1-1) played their first game at L.A. Memorial Coliseum since 1994. And what a day it was, as the returning heroes short-circuited a Russell Wilson two-minute march to upset the Seahawks (1-1) in a bruising 9-3 grudge match. Our takeaways: 1. This was a Jeff Fisher fever dream from outer space. The Seahawks always have their issues againsby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteFlorida_Ram The Tree switch to MLB was called a Failed Experiment by many posters on this board before we even got a decent sample size. Tree has had some flashes of really good moments and some bad ones. To the defense of those that meant Tree was just too much of an impact at OLB that it made little to no sense to move him inside, I get that. I had that mindset myself.

QuoteSoCalRAMatic Great point. Maybe two were late? Anyways, looked like he had pretty good protection most of the game I was watching (didn't catch everything at the end), so the larger point stands - that will also be good for Goff if it continues.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff should be able to do well once the coaching staff deems him ready. Definitely one of the single biggest keys to his development is to have a solid OL in pass pro.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Was very worried that he wasn't going to be himself after the Niners game, but he sure did some damage today. Think he'll have a big year and when we have him and AD going full out it's watch out time. Great D today! I don't care if We score any TDs. Loved the game. Though he only played once last season after that (two weeks later). But, yeah, agreed, I've been worriedby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Great game by the defense. Ogletree also had a FF, as did Quinn, who also had a sack with Hayes. Joyner also stood out and played a good game.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteferragamo79 so lets get a win LA tied for first in the NFC West. * I think we started 1-2 last year (no better for over a decade), but were 4-3 before going 0-5 to start the second half of the 2015 season, than finishing 3-1.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Main difference regarding attrition/turnover: Six new defensive "starters" (TE Jared Cook only one on offense?) - DE Chris Long, MLB James Laurinaitis, WLB Alec Ogletree, CB Janoris Jenkins, FS Rodney McLeod and SLB Akeem Ayers (quotes for Ayers, who was on the field only about a third of the time in 2015?).

100% of the eight responses 1,400+. Half of those (the largest group) project more than 1,600. Pretty optimistic.* BTW, last year Gurley was compared to Bell as one of the best backs in the league. Peterson getting up there in years. David Johnson is a very impressive and a freak, one of the most explosive and best receiving backs in the league and an outstanding pure runner.

QuoteTonyHunter87 To me, Austin will never get 10 TD's again. Last season was an aberration. I could be wrong and I'd be glad but I just don't see it. Which one do you view as near impossible? :) 5 receiving? Not exactly a high bar to replicate or exceed. 4 rushing? This is very rare. But if he has only 1 or 2, he could offset that with 6 or 7 receiving, again, not a massive number. 1by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Obviously this could be correlated to record (as well as Goff's development in practice), which we can't know, so reckon that in your projection - could be big difference if they are 4-0, as opposed to 0-4. Round UP (projection of week 9 = 10). I forgot that the Rams only play in LA twice by mid-season (partly due to London being called a "home" game), which means a surplus of hoby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Again, if healthy. Combined includes receiving, rushing and the return variety (if he returns one for the fourth season in a row, only second ever after Gale Sayers). In this case, round DOWN (projection of 9 = 8, not 10). Guessing this will be more all over the place (and TDs do tend to be more variable than receptions and yards, though Austin's rushing prowess is a wild card in this cby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
If healthy and doesn't miss an appreciable number of games. * Probably a flawed poll as constructed - if you project 1,599, round up to 1,600. If 1,499, round down to 1,400.
