Well said Nicecatch - 5 days ago
Nicecatch summed up the argument nicely. Family members are not always the same but in this case the Ford's track record has been consistently poor. Sure, maybe, this new lady will work wonders, but I doubt that you'd put any money on it Zn. You can argue academics all you want but I doubt you really believe it. Personally, I'd like to see the Lions do good as it would bring a lot of joyby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Leo and the O Line - 5 days ago
Hey Leo, If I may, last year many of us thought that the OLine would be terrible, or at best mediocre but they did ok for themselves. I think we can be a bit confident in McVay and what's he doing with the OLine. Don't give up the ship too early, our coach has earned the benefit of the doubt. I think we can have some hope.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Interesting statistical comparison Aaron Rodgers vs Matthew Stafford by PARAM. - 5 days ago
I'm glad the Rams got Stafford but the one stat that concerns me is the INTs. 43, how does Stafford's INTs stack up against the other QBs who started for 5 years during that time?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Nicecatch is correct - 5 days ago
Everything Nicecatch stated is true. It's the same org. Same family ownership. I've lived in the Detroit area for a very long time and even 20 years ago local pundits stated that the team would be mediocre as long as it's owned by the Fords. When I got here their coach was Wayne Fontes. He'd be about 8-8 each year more or less. They got rid of him because he wasn't able to take them furtby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: You're completely wrong Classical! - 9 days ago
Yeah, it sounds like the guy has a bias and it muddles and inhibits his thinking. I think we've all known sports fans like that. I once had a German national who was a Schalke soccor fan insult me at work because I liked Bayern. I know and care very little about German soccer but this guy was nuts for Schalke.

You're completely wrong Classical! - 10 days ago
QuoteClassicalwit You know what it is? Most people don't know how to construct arguments anymore; they only argue from assertion. I mean they don't understand most of the time why, or how something is contradictory! You're asserting that most people are so stupid that they can't see or realize a contradictory statement! Or, is it a case of situational blindness? We probably all have friends wby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

I like his bravado - 5 weeks ago
Hey, I don't fault him for talking smack. He spoke the truth about them whipping us for 2 years. Maybe he knows that Shanny has McVay's number and he's confident in his team's style of play being able to defeat the Rams. To me, it is embarrassing that with all the talent we have that we weren't able to win at least one of those games.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Dak signs with dallas - 5 weeks ago
I agree Bear. Statistically Zak has been pretty good, but at times he seems to get lost. If the cap remains tight this will hurt Dallas, which I think is good for us.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Good posts Rock and Dz - 7 weeks ago
I've realized the same thing you said Rock, our management swooped in and paid well for what is perceived as a top QB, the best available. I feel pretty good about getting the pick of the litter while now other teams are competing for the leftovers. It was a smart move by the Rams, time will tell if it pans out. It reminds me of how much we paid for AD, but that surely has proven to have beenby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: So not the John Shaw era - 7 weeks ago
John Shaw was a poison in the Rams' org. That shows you what bad management does to organizations. One man can make a huge difference towards success or failure. I remember the slow demise of the Rams under his watch and I remember how the fans in LA began to turn against the team. It was sad.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
1st Rd QBs are not a crap shoot - 7 weeks ago
I remember reading an analysis article on 1st and 2nd round "skill" draft picks vs linemen draft picks. It showed that there was a 60% chance that the skill picks would pan out whereas the non-skilled picks only had a 40% chance. It's been a while and maybe I've forgotten the exact percentages but it showed that taking the skill positions had a greater chance of the players grow intoby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
To Mama, et. al - 8 weeks ago
Really nice work Mamaram! Great job, thank you. Is anybody aware of any ex-coaches badmouthing McVay? With such a large turnover I'd expect that if working for McVay sucked then some of these guys would have commented. I agree that this whole thing seems fishy, but McVay has established himself as a proven winner. He's earned my benefit of the doubt.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: My opinion: Rams have to get a ring or this is a failure. - 2 months ago
Winning a SB takes a lot of things to come together and work properly. It's a team game and the players and the coaches have to be getting it right, as one unit, at the right time. The Rams' have lost a lot of important coaches this season. If Staley is really as great as they say he is than that departure weakens the team. How many times have we seen great teams make it to the SB and fail?by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Totally disagree with Jansen, Stafford has fire and is a leader - 2 months ago
Watch this video and tell me that Stafford doesn't have fire or isn't a leader. This was a much-abused QB pushing a weak team to victory. Lesser men would not have put all their guts into winning like Stafford did. matt stafford sneak against the cowboys Jansen only played a year or two with Stafford, maybe Stafford improved.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Its weird to me - 2 months ago
The Ford family still owns the Lions, different face, same family. Maybe this new lady will improve things but I'm doubtful. Dan Campbell doesn't have a stellar record. I've only watched him in one video since the hiring and while he talked tough he struck me as a caricature. Personally I think he's going to suck but I'm not an expert on what makes a great head coach so maybe I'm wrong. Hby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Its weird to me - 2 months ago
Dead, The Detroit franchise is the Ford's toy and they haven't taken football seriously. All the guys who come here realize this. Look at the horrendous history of GMs and HCs. I moved to Detroit when Wayne Fontes was the HC and he would usually go 8 - 8. That wasn't good enough to he got canned. You know the rest of the story. People cried for the days of Fontes. They've had a couple goby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Assistant coaches and more money - 2 months ago
One thing that has bothered myself and other posters on this board is the mass exodus of assistant coaches. I believe losing that many coaches, especially Staley, makes our team weaker. My question is, why didn't Kronke the owner, throw more money at these guys to keep them? He certainly has the cash, and I don't think he's limited by salary caps. So, why not pay more to keep your betterby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Re: Got a couple of questions for the brethren... - 2 months ago
Yes I agree it was an upgrade. I think McVay is very focused on winning and that he is immature as a HC and that he is ego driven. I think the SB wounded and loss affected his psyche. All of that is not unusual for a young, accomplished, man. In my line of work I have worked with a few young hotshot managers who thought their poop didn't stink. They had no problem throwing someone under theby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Where does the hurt too much comment come from? - 2 months ago
Stafford got hurt pretty badly a couple years ago, it was a back injury. He missed a good chunk of the season. A few friends said he should retire before he gets hurt worse. My memory is thin and I didn't follow his career but I believe there were a couple games that he started and got hurt and had to come out. I wouldn't put much stock in assessing his current durability against his firsby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Detroit's view of Stafford - 2 months ago
I've lived in the Detroit area for many many years now. Lots of my friends are Lions' fans. There were three general camps or viewpoints on Stafford here: 1) Stafford is great, he's been held back by bad teams and real bad to mediocre coaches. 2) Stafford is good, but he's been beaten up and injured too much, it's time to trade him to get what we can for a rebuild. 3) Stafford is oveby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not either or, it's all of the above - 2 months ago
This year's Goff didn't play like 2018 Goff. McVay has made some bad calls. The bad contracts did limit our team's ability to procure better talent. I remember watching the replay of one of the college national championship playoffs. I watched each critical play a few times just to see what made the difference. What I saw was one team was not making little mistakes while the other team wasby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
Question on Tackles vs Center - 2 months ago
A couple of years ago the Lions drafted a center with their 1st round pick and them moved him to guard. We all laughed at our Lions fans friends. "Why not draft the best guard?" The following year they moved him to center. Would it be possible to draft an outstanding guard and move him to center? Or, are the positions so different that the learning curve would nullify any immediaby Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com

Re: Watson, Rodgers, Stafford = Pipe dream - 2 months ago
Wow Rampage, Those were excellent words. My thoughts exactly. You just put them together better than I could. I do like Stafford a lot. I think he'd do great as a Ram. I'd feel very good about it. But I'd rather see our young QB turn things around than lose him for Stafford.by Coy Bacon - RamsFootballFans.com
