QuoteHollywood Ram Roughing the passer on AD around half was a joke too. Yes, it was atrocious. I particularly didn't like the way Triplette called it out as though it were particularly obvious and even egregious. It was terrible.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSuh-weet! Quotereggae I remember Higbee having a huge drop. Huge drop on a PERFECT ball. Yeah, that was a beautiful pass in pretty tight coverage. Don't think the defender got a hand on it, either.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky The sack by Donald on 4th down and the save on the 2 point conversion were huge! Grits So was that absolutely bush league offensive PI call on the Niners' 3rd and 10 on the last series. Without that call, they probably win this game. D bailed out by a horrendous call at a most critical moment.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
I think you should credit the ref instead. That was a bush league offensive PI call at a critical moment in the game.by JYB - Game Time Forum
Who could've predicted this team would turn into the 2000 Rams. Offense is a pleasant surprise. Defense is shockingly brutal. But it's still better than the last five years.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
During the Thursday Bengal/Texans game, announcers talked about how upset Lewis was about losing Whitworth. Said that they thought they had a deal with him the night before he took the Rams' offer, and Lewis said he felt like a piece of the team went with him. Really wanted to keep him, but announcer noted that the Bengals don't sit first round picks and so Whitworth became expendable to mgmt.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSteve Well, LOL...but with some sincerity I write: a)Tolzien is at the very bottom of the heap (Gabbert wasn't),and b)the Colts aren't a divisional rival like the 49ers are and c) This year we don't have Jeff 'Buddy' Fisher coaching---- 'Buddy' as in not Ryan, but best friend. d) Tolzien's head coach can't even pretend nice words about his starting QB to the press. So, if the Rams lby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
We were saying the same kinds of things last year before the Niner game; hence my apprehension. They SHOULD win, but I thought that last year, too. :innocentby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteL.A.Rams "...one was considered very successful..." Among qualifying passers in 1993, Mirer's rating of 67.0 was just ahead of the 65.0 rating of the 28th ranked passer in a league that had 28 teams at the time. That isn't something that I would regard as "very successful." Those who elected Mirer AFC OROY honors obviously disagreed with you. I doubt a single personby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams If you're trying to make a case that Mirer was more successful than Goff at similar points in their careers, that supports the case that I was trying to make in my original post. Yes, that's the case I'm making. But that doesn't seem to be the case that you were making. You stated that "the early stages of Jared Goff's career bring back memories of Rick Mirer". The earby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams Here are their rookie passer ratings: Mirer 67.0 (1993) Goff 63.6 (2016) Passing statistics have been massively inflated since 1993. I seriously doubt anybody would say that Rick Mirer and Jared Goff had comparable rookie campaigns. One was deemed highly successful -- enough to garner the ROY award. The other is viewed as being among the worst ever for a high draft pickby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams Responses noted, but the early stages of Jared Goff's career bring back memories of Rick Mirer. Actually, this is quite different from Rick Mirer. Mirer actually had a pretty darn good rookie season -- outplayed Drew Bledsoe, the #1 overall pick that same year, and was named OROY, IIRC. But Mirer never built on that growth, never improved by any measurable degree. He lived off oby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
The holdout annoys the heck out of me -- guys got two years left on his contract and appears to be getting very greedy. Not quite the selfless team player I thought he was. Nevertheless, Aaron Donald is already being talked about as being among the all time greats at the position. A rare talent at an important position, even if not THE most important. And I can't believe how cavalierly sby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe_Bad_Guy I am doing my best to not push my cart in front of the horse. It seems ... perfect. Almost too perfect. I felt the same way when they traded with the Oilers for Jim Everett. The 'missing piece.' Yeah, to me this feels more like that era, as well. Rams traded picks to move up for Everett, traded a first rounder to obtain Gary Green... started the team on a very nice upwarby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Toby crushed Barber in what was, I believe, Tiki's rookie season. I recall that his teammates lambasted him for not showing toughness in not getting up quickly enough and shaking it off. Tiki was not the same for the rest of the season after that hit.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he will slow the Falcons. He will take Julio out of the game, disrupt their timing and force the Falcs to take underneath stuff. Falcs will need to have success running to have a chance. Either way, Brady will pick them apart and the Pats will win handily.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Two years is about how much longer Jim Harbaugh will want to stay at Michigan. He'll be ready to come back to the NFL after another couple of years, and LA would be the ideal opportunity for him. If Fisher were fired and another coach were to replace him, Stan would likely give him at least 4 or 5 years, and the opportunity to land Harbaugh would probably pass. So, two more years of 7-9by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Is Stan the type of owner who would make Jim Harbaugh an offer he couldn't refuse? Because, IMO, that's what it would take to lure him away from Michigan. And this is a job that should be EXTREMELY attractive to Harbaugh: (1) In all probability, he would become THE highest paid coach in NFL history; (2) a non-meddling owner who would give him the freedom to do what he pleases (the oppositeby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
