Any QB that wants to, and continues to run like Wentz is going to get hurt. Wentz has made some bones running but it's going to be a short lived career. Goff is smarter in that he can't/won't try to make a living running the ball. Either they learn how to pass well or they fade. To me, this elevates Goff over Wentz.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Isn't it sweet how Blythe, the Colt's castoff, has performed at such a high level! I wonder if any Colt's fans are aware of their loss?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Steve, I do agree with you on JG being hyped too much. What tells me that JG has a way to go was how he got his injury. He's not a naive rookie, he should have known better than to try to a couple more yards. Really dumb on his part. If he's thinking that poorly at this stage I wonder about the future.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams too strong across the board.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think TD throws is necessarily a good comparison of the two QBs. Far too many other factors influence that. Didn't JG sit on the bench a lot of those years, while Goff has been a starter since about midway through his first season 3 years ago? Looking at a stats page, if you chose to compare Steve Young's 1st full year as a starter against Goff, Goff would come out ahead. Joe Montby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm no expert but I watched them pretty close. My gut feel is that they were not up for Buff. Minn was not sloppy their first game, instead they looked rock solid. In this game a couple of turnovers early and wham, they're behind by 17! By the time Minn woke up they seem befuddled, didn't know what to do being so far behind. At the start of the 4th quarter, watching them trying to come fromby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched the condensed replay of the game. This was the sloppiest game I've seen in a while. Lots of stupid penalties, dropped passes, and turnovers early. My gut feel is that Minn was overconfident and expected Buff to just fold quickly. Instead the Buff defense came to play. There were two Minn turnovers early, I believe near their red zone and Buff was able to turn that into 14 pointby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed. I watched a couple of condensed replays and time and time again a guy would run it out, get hit on the 20, and then got penalized for "block in the back." Their O starts at their 10.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I know the hit didn't cause the injury; it was JG's determination to gain a few yards more. I watched the replay a couple times and all I could think of was how stupid he was. He should have just run out of bounds instead of challenging the D to get a few more yards. The 9ers invested a ton of money in him and he should have been smarter.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Ram's D is the primary deciding factor I did not copy Ramruler's numbers. I thought about it and came up with them myself.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched both of the Chargers' games as condensed versions. Here are my observations. 1) QBs: Rivers is better than Goff. No criticism of Goff is intended; Rivers looked great. 2) RBs: seemed to be a wash, or maybe a slight edge to us. The Chargers' RBs looked fast, strong, and talented. I was a little impressed. 3) WRs: Our WRs are a level beyond SD's WRs. Our guys seem to catch mby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Me too. I like how you think George.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
When I watched him return his first punt, it reminded me of when movies speed up the film, his legs were moving so fast! Yes, very impressive.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Jo Jo was a WR who thought he was a goner. But we see it wouldn't last. Jo Jo came back against Arizona, to do PRs and catch a pass. Sorry guys, best I could do on such short notice.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Even the pessimist in me can't come to life on this one. No way the Rams can lose. (Every time I'm so positive that I think that, they lose, but even in this lopsided case, the Rams will win).by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
They're hard to defend because they are quick. I watched replay of a few games and the Rams stood out to me as being the fastest / quickest. Also, their O-Line was so solid, more solid than the other teams.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I live in the Detroit area and I get to tease my co-workers. Their game was so very bad, that maybe I'll call off the dogs. Nah, I'm gonna really enjoy myself at their expense. I'll demand that one of them buy me lunch for them losing so bad. Good thing they have a great sense of humor about the Lions. I'm going to test it.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Rock, your assessment is right on. I kinda feel sorry for Wilson. And Hazlett's comment about Case is accurate as well.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I watched the condensed version of the 49er game and I think they looked good, better than I hoped or wanted. They looked tough and mean. They were going up against last season's best defense and I think that some of JG's interceptions were due to Viking pressure. What stood out to me was how often the 9er's receivers were open. Was that a lapse on defense, or slick offensive play calling andby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
The pessimist in me is still too strong. Too many bad years to allow my hope to spring eternal because of just one great year. I hate to say it, but I am not a believer just yet. But yes, last year, I got to gloat alot with my fellow Detroiters.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Wow 43, Too bad you can't bottle that optimism of yours. I'd buy a pallet load! I hope you are right. The pessimist in me continues to speak bad things. Too many bad years.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I read her method and thought that there was a lot of fudge in there. Throw it up against the wall and see what sticks. Its a gimmick. Because it is now in vogue to talk about stats, people are doing it. They believe it sells and gives them credibility.

QuoteCROMWELL21 1-Never thought Rams would sign Donald. I had some doubts but thought they would. To have had that Seattle QB Wilson say he's the toughest guy he's played against was more meaningful to me than his D player of the year award. 2-Loved the Whitworth signing but hated the Woods signing. I liked both, liked Woods more than Whitworth. Both turned out great. 3-Wanted Wentz aby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
I always thought that when the Rams moved to St. Louis, that the rivalry between them and SF died down. I don't think the folks in St. Louis initially understood the depth of it. Maybe they were still living the rivalries they had with the Giants, Packers, whoever, I don't know as I didn't follow Cardinal football. I don't think many of the Ram's coaches in St. Louis did either. It was likeby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Of course AD is motivated by greed. So am I. I need a paycheck, so do you. If in my position, I could tell my boss, "pay me another 100k or I walk" and was confident I could get it, I probably would.

I remember reading an interview with Wentz, post injury rehab, and the reporter asked him if he was going to stop running so much. He replied it ain't gonna happen because that's his game. I like Wentz a lot and I wish him the best, but survey says he ain't long for the league.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
