QuoteRockRam The offense came through with 28 points plus the STs with 7. And the D allows 36 (yes I know the final score but that last score was just a desperation play and you can't fault anyone). The O scored plenty to win this game. The D needs to own up on this one. The defense was also responsible for the first 7 the offense scored thanks to the INT. So really, the offense camby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
It's really hard to win in that stadium as the visiting team. The one thing the Rams have in their favor there is they play there every year, so they're somewhat used to it. They certainly "can" beat them. It's going to be difficult, however.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
He can play from the pocket like a real NFL QB. He is not close to the runner RG3 was, but he can move an run well for a guy his size but when he's running it's mostly to escape not by design like it was for RG3. He is a football player that will sacrifice his body, however, and they will need to manage that if he's to last. But it's not as if Goff isn't an injury risk with his beanpole buby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Sometimes it's just that simple. Not a good route runner, not great hands, not even special with the ball in his hands. He has great "ability" but he's just not a great player. Happens all the time. Just hope the Rams don't double down on their mistake by overpaying him now to keep him. If he'll sign for something like Woods got, fine. But beyond that, they have to let him go.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Fans didn't do anything wrong or in any way representative of the tearing of social fabric. There was no violent reaction or "push", merely Rams fans preventing the opposing player from jumping up into the stands where they were standing. Fans in the 40's, 50's, 60's on through to today would have responded the same way. Effectively telling the player, you don't do that here. Long dby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Remember that the moneyball analytics oriented approach is designed on the deferral of gratification for future reward imperative. The current regime of DePodesta and Brown are only in their second season. Hard to know if the strategy is going to work yet or not. One thing I'd say is almost certain is the front office isn't going to cater to a current coaching staff that isn't likely to be bby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
9ers are swinging for singles and Garoppolo is about to become an expensive one. The Patriots used up all his cheap years and the 9ers just bought all his expensive years without knowing if he can even play yet. And even if he can play, his upside is not nearly what some of the guys they could have drafted in the first round and now probably won't will be. I am enjoying the Shanahan / Lynchby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Because on the Cardinals side the fans were complaining how they got no respect from the media after they beat the Bucs and AP went off. All the ESPN "NFL Experts" picked the Rams to win this week. I don't think everybody jumped on the Cardinals bandwagon. I'm sure some did.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Says all the right things and says them so effectively. Focus is always on the process and others but very measured in the way he credits individual players. Such a welcome departure from the past.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
it is now. They were going nowhere this year with or without Palmer. That was pretty clear especially after they lost Johnson. It's the end of the Fitz era too. Pretty sure he'll retire after this season. They have some youth to work with on defense as a foundation but on offense they're going to need to rebuild pretty much across the board. QB, OL and WR. I expect AP will be back nextby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
One team always seems to respond much better than the other to the unusual circumstances of the London game and they always seem to be blowouts. They don't seem to be good barometers, which is why I'm reluctant to put too much weight in how the Rams blew out the Cardinals today. Still, it was fun and way more fun to be in the winning end than losing end of those. There was a lot of bad footby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Their track record is simply too hideous for me to want to risk what I know is already good for.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
That would be pretty sweet but I'm not counting those chickens just yet. McVay has indeed been transformational thus far and he and the team are exceeding pretty much all reasonable expectations. I'm pretty excited about him. I think they might have hit the jackpot with him. And he was my choice of the candidates to begin with. BUT.......... All he's really proven so far is that heby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
about how some people are defining a "drop." But maybe it's not a bad thing that he's already earned such a high bar to clear as a rookie, 3rd round pick.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
But how in the world anybody could not have changed on preferring Shany at this point is pretty confusing.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
There is still room for plenty of doubt. Same way there was still room for plenty of doubt about Nick Foles after his Pro Bowl second season with the Eagles. Probably is the smart answer at this point because what he's shown so far this year "probably" shifts the odds that he's going to be good throughout his career in his favor. But we don't know what happens when defenses adjust tby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Not just what I hoped to see since before he was even drafted. And if you take all those things into account, combined with the very small and selective sample size of when he's been good this year, three is no rational way to arrive at a vote of "absolutely." We can be generally positive about his chances, as I am now, but nowhere close to certain yet. If that reality is troubby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Because this team was never going to go anywhere with Fisher at the helm even with Wentz. Based on what Goff has shown this year, I personally think he still has a chance to be as effective as Wentz in the long run. Different kinds of QB's but maybe both are going to end up great? Hard to say, but all that matters at this point is that Goff ends up great. And, of course, that Fisher is goneby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Not by any objective standard, anyway. What we should all agree to is that it looks A LOT better than it did before this season. But there is still a long way to go before anybody can know he is absolutely the franchise QB he was drafted to be. Arrow definitely pointing up to this point, though. And that's making this season a success regardless of record so far.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
Because they don't look good to start the season. And every year they still end up in the playoffs at the end of the season. I hope "what's happened to them" is they're finally not going to be a playoff team. But I'm going to need to see it actually happen first.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
You don't appreciate the value of math, that's fine. But the analytical don't cavalierly dismiss it. Nate Silver knows a lot about probability and how to build models that assess it better than most. You don't need to know about "football" specifically, you only need the objective data the games deliver and know how to use that data to determine probabilities. It's not perfect inby 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
For this year exceeding expectations for sure. But part of that is because of what happened last year. I voted exceeding based on this year alone. He's starting to get me excited, which was more than I was expecting at this stage this season. Hopefully he only continues to build on it.by 9er8er - RamsFootballFans.com
