Well, yes we do have the best owner in sports. Won't argue with you. And yes, we're all fatigued over this and debating questionable moves, in our eyes. We used to have a saying around here "In McVay I trust". Trust is earned, and Sean earned a lot of that from us. But it's a castle you never stop having to build upon. He needs to also realize that.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Just ignore bad drafting, poor contract management, and an unevolving offensive play script. Nope. Boil it all down to paying for the SB win. I'm very happy with our SB win. But pinning this current team entirely on that is just lazy, IMO. There is a lot more bringing the Rams into their current state of decline.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Good article with very relevant points. A lot of our so called purge was kind of a disguise, as we're paying for them, they're just not playing here. Every week I see ex Rams playing well on other teams and ask "why aren't they doing that for us?". Funny how Snead gets let off the hook because of this years draft, but his fingerprints are all over this losing season.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
If there's one thing I've learned over my time, it's that if you're calling out the shopmen and installers on your crews, you're already making your first mistake. Management is the one usually responsible for their performance. So it's funny that I see all the finger pointing now over the roster, along with absolution over managements fingerprints all over this. For every lapse of execution, I'vby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Just look at what Pickens is doing on the Steelers. Exactly what a high pick at WR would be doing on this team in 2024- nothing. You got it right with Caleb Williams. And we need to put a line around him, or whomever we pick to QB this team next year. Love Stafford, but his time is over. This team would do well to get a true QB, build both lines and go from there. Everything else is toys,by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Is that the players? Do you really think we'd get more juice out of another receiver? One of our receivers is a Triple Crown winner, and another just had his jersey placed in the HOF, but yet another receiver would turn this team around... Sorry, but I'm not buying that. Fix this Oline, keep our QB off the injury list, commit to a running game, and then let's see what we have. Cause as long as weby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Ya, I had hopes for this Coach, but as with so much else, those hopes seem misplaced. Getting decent play from any of our TEs seems to be a monumental task.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
We have a QB that needs replacing, linemen to protect him, linebackers, defensive backs ... and we're talking about wide receivers. Sorry. Last thing on my mind, other than the flipping Cam Akers trade.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Ya, I think we all know this team is lost without Stafford. Was the same with Goff when he was here. The last QB that stepped in and handled business when the lead went down was Marc Bulger, a lifetime ago. We've just never put much into the backup. Ever. But I don't know what we have with Stafford. I debated that this line was nowhere near playoff caliber with another poster a few weeks ago,by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
No, and this Oline was straight out ignored for so long. Believing in Noteboom was like believing in Bigfoot- never any tangible evidence... and I'll never forgive them for passing on the most sure fire Center in the draft when we needed a new Center. Too busy patting ourselves on the back because we could hold a line together. Until we replace Whitworth, we'll never replace him. It was a migby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
3rd on the list with 2 sacks today. This season is looking like I thought it would look, so I'm just going to watch what developes. There's some good players floating around in the garbage.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

He couldn't catch a cold. Let's sign him to some money. Him and that Noteboom guy. So many of the wrong people signed and sucking on this team.by Old Goat - Game Time Forum
The announcers even made fun of us afterward. We've become an embarrassment.by Old Goat - Game Time Forum
I'm really over blatant, subjective flag throwing. I can't remember a penalty throwing a game like last week, but our guys came out with their hair on fire, and were just gut punched after that call. Bring on the drones. I'd rather have it called right too many times than what we have now. So many ways to fix this, and they lose credibility every year they don't.

There's a player of lesser need on the team than this guy?by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
With you on this, Albany. Grateful they didn't panic, and I'm fine with all of this. Nothing they would have done in the panic round would have ticked the needle one bit.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't disagree with you on Kendrick, and was making a more general comment on our secondary. Yes, I'm also done watching his "growth", and wish they'd move on.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
This is by design guys. Coaches know the same things we do, and then some. They knew that the roster has been cut to the bone, and our backfield is rostered by late round draft picks that have a lot of growth needed. Despite early excitement over guys like Fuller and Durant, they're just not very good. Most, if not all wont be given a second contract, and are only filling a spot until we drafby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Ya, that's not happening. Tommy Boy will go for a big name hire that he thinks will get them back to respectability. Morris doesn't fit the bill.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz QuoteRams43 Specifically, Sean McVay, Raheem Morris, and Blackburn on special teams? All of them seem to be unraveling at least a little bit, don’t you think? I believe in Track records. Morris won a super bowl with his defense and had them playing great when it counted the most (the Playoffs) and before anyone talks about all the talent we had, so do other teams like the 49ersby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
And that's the thing, isn't it? This secondary has played surprisingly well for much of the season. Maybe a little over their head, but they've gotten it done. Until the face masks and penalties by #1, that is. It wasn't all him last week, or even the week before, but Kendrick has by far been the anchor on the secondary, and that can't be denied by even the most apologetic fans. I'd rather seby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills as I watched Goff I saw the same QB he was with the Rams he loves that 1st read, he always looks short first, and they make things really easy for him with short passes around the los to RBs, WRs and TEs If McVay walks away I would be looking at Ben Johnson with a quickness... he wants to run the ball and is multiple with it I get what you're saying here, Speed, and I agrby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Stanford guy, could be up to speed by Sunday. I can't believe how the Rams have mismanaged the QB room. It's been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's coming, and it's going to be an epic disaster, but there's nothing you can do to avert it, so you just sit and watch it unfold.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
ST has been an issue all season. Just because we don't have a blocked kick every week didn't make them a good unit. Another dark corner on this team that didn't have enough light shined on it.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Ya, I think it's as simple as that. Look, I have criticisms of McVay, but the anti McVay stream seem to be really picking up steam in some ridiculous places. Wolford hates McVay, so he's not coming here. Super Bowl MVP Hopkins being criminally underutilized. Etc etc....by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
The good news from this season has been this rookie class, hands down. Every game of experience, even last weeks beat down, is invaluable. We'll need a repeat in next years draft. Maybe it's a lot to hope for, but they've set the expectation.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
