...that you don't think it was a good move to fire Fisher? I wanted Fisher fired years ago, but my point was that it was brilliant to fire him before the Thursday night game rather than putting it off any longer.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Some had pointed out that it was important to fire Fisher before the end of the season in order to avoid losing the LA fans. I believe it was a brilliant move to do it before the Thursday night game, which will be nationally televised and receive a lot more media attention than Sunday games. Now the media can focus on the prospects for the future rather than all the ugliness.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
...I would be concerned about McDaniel's failure as a HC in Denver. Offensive minds (such as Bill Walsh and Dick Vermeil) seem to make the best head coaches. So I would prefer to see the Rams go in that direction. Someone who would tap all of the potential that Goff and Gurley have to offer. A young and energetic guy with considerable experience. McDaniel has these qualities, but he also has a reby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In general, I'm on the conservative side when it comes to uniforms. Keep them traditional and in good taste. I like it when teams use certain throwbacks, such as the Rams blue and golds (and would love to see the blue and whites from the 1960s). I do not like some of the really old throwbacks, such as the ones the Bears, Steelers, Packers, and Lions have worn. I do like the color rush uniforms asby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm loving that Fisher will tie the record for most losses in style!by L.A.Rams - Game Time Forum
Kendricks is one of many Rams players and coaches that need to be replaced.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
That is an excellent article. The only questionable item in the article is the statement, "The Rams can't be that dumb."by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree on all accounts. The only difference is that, so far, I have retained NFL Sunday Ticket. If I had stopped recording Rams games during other down years, I would be missing lots of games with players such as Jack Youngblood, Isaac Bruce, Kevin Greene, Jerome Bettis, and Steven Jackson.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The 1979 Bucs went to the NFC Championship game, and I was there. That team began to grow after drafting Doug Williams. Ricky Bell had a big season in 1979 before his body started to waste away from a degenerative disease. They also had a great defense led by Leroy Selmon.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
...to make them finish strong, why didn't he use that ability to make them play strong throughout the season?by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Going into the final game of the season, the 1977 Tampa Bay Bucs had scored a grand total of 3 points at home. That is not a typo -- THREE points at home. One field goal. No touchdowns. No safeties.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In what way is it weak to refuse to follow such a team? An opposing point of view is that those who continue to follow such a team are fools and suckers.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
...I will enjoy seeing the Rams getting destroyed by the Patriots, Jeff Fisher setting the all-time record for losses, the Rams playing in front of small crowds at the Coliseum, and the few legitimate quality stars such as Aaron Donald moving on to other teams. I hope the Chargers move to LA and become the local favorite, much like the Raiders did in the 1980s. The one silver lining in the new coby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I will no longer follow this team.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
That's a good term for summarizing Fisher's career. Sustained mediocrity has him on the verge of setting the all-time record for games lost by a head coach.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
...both teams miss an extra point.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The score of the 1989 game was 24-20. That game was also played at New England in December, and the Rams needed to win it to make the playoffs. Greg Bell had 210 yards rushing.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Does a good defense have games in which they give up 28, 32, 30, 31, and 49 points in the first eleven games of the season?by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
...until after he breaks the record for career losses. Does this make it seem like I have contempt? I sure do! I have never liked Fisher. I don't like the owner either. The best-case scenario would be if the owner has already signed Fisher to a big extension, and this ugly season forces him to fire Fisher and take the loss.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The Cowboys have struck gold with several draft picks, including a 4th round compensatory pick in Prescott. They have a great OL, perhaps the best RB in the NFL, and a mix of outstanding veterans, such as Jason Witten and Dez Bryant. They took a chance on Jaylon Smith, who could make them even better. I have never been a fan of Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, but I liked what I saw in Prescott fromby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams beat the Saints 45-28. Willie Ellison set an NFL record with 247 yards rushing. He also had an 80 yard TD run.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I started questioning why I bothered to follow football by around 1980. When you really think about it, it is a silly thing to sit around on Sunday afternoons to watch a bunch of prima-donnas with low IQs out there brutalizing each other. There is also the senselessness of athletes spending years building up their bodies and then going out and getting all the brutal injuries. Basketball was my faby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
I have been a Rams fan since the late 1960s, but I will definitely bail on this team if Fisher is extended. That would demonstrate a totally clueless owner. I will pick a new team that is a class organization to follow.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
If he were really intoxicated, I would be in favor of cutting him on the spot. However, I know a police officer who provided me with a detailed discussion of field sobriety tests, which are nothing but pseudo-science. I was shocked to hear about the techniques they use, such as following the movements of your eyes. He pointed out that such tests have an 80% reliability, but that's not much betterby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
Some people are prone to dehydration. I make a conscious effort to drink lots of water and keep water on my desk every day. I limit my coffee input to two cups in the morning. This usually works, but there are still times when I get dehydrated, and this leads to severe legs cramps and other problems. It seems plausible to me that a pro football player could make a conscious effort to stay hydrateby L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
In the early 1990s (perhaps even earlier), there was a version of a Rams board in which messages were distributed to the entire group by e-mail. The much better forum based version has existed since before 1999, but I don't recall the dates.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com

The Dolphins will probably be looking for a running play or a short pass. As pass 15 to 20 yards downfield might catch them off guard and set the tone for the game. Some might prefer the drama of a long pass, but there's a much better chance of completing a mid-range pass.by L.A.Rams - RamsFootballFans.com
