This what really gets me about this board..... - 3 days ago
I never ever pumped him up...way too many guys on this board either don't read well, or they put words into posts that aren't there. Where did I pump this guy up...because in my mind pumping a guy up would read like...this is the guy we need, he's way better than what we had, this guy is going to be a major piece......NOW where did I write like that in my original post.....I actually said I hadby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Who knows what this new ILB offers..... - 4 days ago
Unless you've scouted the guy and have info on his abilities? The thing that kills me at times is that a guys name many time outweighs what they guy can do at this time in his career. The idea being floated by some writers pre picking this guy up and penciling in CJ was IMO proof that little is done by many of these writers...Big Name = must need..... We just experienced the issues with a higby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
This prediction is due solely because of the obvious..... - 6 days ago
they have but 1 ILB on the roster with any play time.....it's an easy to fill in the blank like thing. I am not seeing the obvious need of this guy...he's on his back end of a career and he's been shown to be injury prone. They just got rid of a guy for that very reason. This prediction is done by way of low hanging fruit theory IMO.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Guy is from the Northwest.... - 9 days ago
I think, he did go to college up there, so if he did that it would be to return home (what player doesn't like that idea), it wouldn't be due to spite, and besides he just isn't wired that way IMO. All aid and done, I just don't want to see him 2x's a year, not because of fear, but because it would be like seeing someone driving my old hotrod around my place all the time.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
When Vince went to Canada........ - 9 days ago
He was a real flashy type QB not like really any other QB we had up until that time. Roman stood out in his big frame body, Hadl had the gunslinger style but was here for really 1 season.....Vince came in and led them to the long awaiting SB, he had the looks and the arm...he had a hot hand going when he left.....not saying he bummed me out the most, but he did have a big spot set up for him inby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Well you need a trade partner to make a trade...... - 10 days ago
just saying we'll trade him to you means nothing...they did not want to trade for him....like everyone else...they all waited for his outright release instead.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Never,ever understood this logic..... - 12 days ago
I have 9 jerseys ranging from Proehl to Pisa to Phifer etc.....at some point every player leaves a team. I buy a jersey for very few reasons, the main being they play the game the way I like it played within that players position....never EVER thinking about his tenure with the team.. A RAMS jersey is not soiled by him leaving the team, his play while with the team cements his history with the Rby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm wondering if how the AD deal went down is a factor..... - 24 days ago
It's not the same deal in that AD left on his own accord, but the way the RAMS reacted with his loss may sway them into thinking they can also withstand (semi) the loss of Matthew. The only issue I would find with that would be that to regard AD's loss they responded by getting several players to off set his loss, you can't do that with the QB spot......That said they did IMO handle AD's loss verby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
The fumbles didn't lose the game, KW didn't lose the game..... - 2 months ago
IMO the RAMS not falling on THEIR fumbles could have been the game changer. The main missed chance was on the eagles fumbled punt, the damn ball went right back to him ,that was deep in their territory. The other fumble did the same thing....bounced right back up to them. As far as KW's fumble, it was bad, but without KW in that game we would have had a very low chance of winning. The guy balby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Been posting here for a long time, don't know the # posts..... - 3 months ago
started back in the late 90's, over 20 years. Enjoyed most if not all of it......but today I must say I feel my posts fall on deaf ears. IMO my posts have always been well thought out, at times emotionally charged and at times just posts about ideas that I have come up with, or discussing others ideas. I write a post that attempts to be uplifting and get zero response, I am not asking to be bby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
LOL being emotionally invested is the point.... - 3 months ago
....."I'll stay out of caring, until they are doing something to care about" that is a fair weather fan. I will do me, I'll be invested in the good games and bad games, the good seasons and the bad.....just as you do you..invest, increase interest when there is something you can crow about.....and the time you've "been a fan" is not anything really, I've been 1 since to 60's.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
The "How" they play needs to be looked at... - 3 months ago
How they play needs to be considered in actual players and their roles. This team isn't vet loaded, so that determines how they play. Do you consider how they play by how hard they play or by the end results in how they play. For instance for a long time everyone was saying that Verse wasn't getting sacks....he was getting pressures, but they weren't transferring to sacks....so was his play poby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Seasons are lost when your team is looking at a top draft choice... - 3 months ago
seasons are lost when game 3 puts into very possible 1st pick status, seasons are lost when you have games during a season that are 30-0 or worse at half time. Seasons are lost when your top RB has 300 yards 3/4 through the season...when you are talking big about a WR because he caught a TD pass this week....Seasons are lost when you are on your 3rd coach in 5 years and your 3rd coach is being rby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Call me if we start winning...LOL..... - 3 months ago
that's exactly what the panther fans say around here.....a fan that has no interest in a team unless it's winning...LOL...I really mean this when I say there are some fans who deserve to always have a losing team....Put your gear in the closet until they win, then when they win start talking big time on them.....by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Where in the heck did you get our 3rd string QB is our future? - 3 months ago
IMO this is a major problem on this board....so many people take an idea they may have and rise it up to a known fact. The guy is our 3rd string QB because they see things in him, that doesn't in any way coronate him into a future starting QB....Stetson is a 3rd string QB...that is what he is, being kept on a team as a 3rd stringer doesn't have squat to do with his future on the team nor that fuby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Geez...all you guys act so entitled.... - 3 months ago
just a few years back they were battling for 1st pick in the draft....everything was lost before it even started.....you'd think that after all those many years chances at winning records and division titles would be greatly appreciated....I am not saying to put your head in the sand....facts are facts....after a surprise appearance in the playoffs last year aspiring higher this year was a gimme.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
If all your season is about is a SB...... - 3 months ago
then pretty much all seasons are done for. They are 1 game back in the division and play all 3 teams...They are 5-6.....go 4 and 2 and you have a winning season....win all 3 division games add jets and saints very well may have a division crown. You have Fiske, Verse, McCollough, Kam Kichens, Limmer, Dedich,all found in this draft...those are big wins. You have Turner, Puka, Young, Avila all gby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't need to have a crystal ball on this board to know the phrasing of many a post...LOL.... - 3 months ago
They are mediocre, they are weak, they have no talent, they are poorly coached.....etc...etc... They just played one of the top 4 teams in the league....were down only 13-7 at half.....The issue in this game was always going to be about Barkley I said, some others as well....They guy had a huge game, and has had some against other teams as well...he didn't get all his yearly yards just last niby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
What the hell was that decision by the eagles to accept a penalty after declining it.... - 3 months ago
Never seen that before....that to me was a blatant illegal action.....You make a decision like that and it needs to stay as that...'We will do this, oh wait a minute.....they aren't going to do what we thought, I want a do over on that....OK sounds good to me"....BS....What would happen to football games if this happened after every penalty on a 3rd/4th down.....You decline or accept a penalby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They do not have a weak O-Line...... - 3 months ago
they have an inconsistent O-Line, there's a difference. They played a SB team last night with some really big players to boot....But McClendon isn't Havs, Avila is still getting into shape, you have a rookie center with what, 5,6 games under his belt, and an undrafted LT who again can play well, and bad in different games. This doesn't point to weakness IMO.....If you grade the RAMS against thby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They are in a place many teams are in.....(try reading this) - 3 months ago
The overall fact is the eagles are a top echelon team, there are 4 maybe 5 of them within the 32 total teams. The RAMS are not in total disarray, they have a solid core of players to build on, there are several teams that are not in that spot. They are in a division that has 4 teams pretty much in the same boat, they all have valuable players, but in the near future cap space may become probby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
They need Omar and Bobby Brown as well..... - 3 months ago
said it 2 or 3 times, but my posts seem to go ghost...LOL......The way to beat the eagles is to hold down Barkley, .....done 1 of 2 ways by run D or our O controlling the clock/keeping them off the field...the latter unfortunately is near impossible. Can't give them 3rd and shorts...they'll kill the RAMS.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Nah..... - 3 months ago
IMO we didn't get smoked by the dolphins and secondly the dolphins were/are a good team, but Tua needs to be playing. We had legit chances against the dolphins WITH Tua and we blew them......The pats, well IMO...that was a weird game....TOP was very lopsided, but we actually controlled the game.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Limmer...... - 3 months ago
from low round pick to thrust into a position to actually controlling the position all done within weeks. He wasn't penciled in to do anything this season and he has earned a starting spot.....IMO he is above anyone else if simply because he wasn't close to be expected to do anything in year 1 much less maybe even years to come.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
At his age...... - 4 months ago
I would want to resign him....he'll have 4 years of NFL experience built in to his 25 years of age.....He's gotta a lot of tread left and he's starting to grow up (fingers crossed).by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Fiske is 24 years old....Brown is 24 years old.... - 4 months ago
that means Brown started his NFL career at age 21.....that is exactly why although IMO he has always had the ability, his age was his kryptonite.....he wasn't fully invested in his job at 21.....many have thought he was a total slacker and a jag, and really wanted him gone.....I never thought in that direction. Sometimes a guy needs to look deeper, or in other areas instead of just a stat book, eby roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
He was 1 of the guys who I had high hopes for..... - 4 months ago
He always had the talent and ability, but he's still very young and along with that come hiccups. Glad he's finally doing what I always new he could do....as I wrote in another earlier post He, Omar and Tyler Davis are really needed in this game to help at least slow down Barkley....keep him under that 100 yard average.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Almost to the point of ad nauseam...... - 4 months ago
The man should have made it the past 2 x's at least....His numbers are still high on the list an he did these things when the team had multiple high end offensive options....It really sucks when many of these guys never are around to see them be inducted....He deserves to be in, but yet again someone will take his place....(hope is eternal, but reality keeps slapping it down).....by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
Question for those in charge of the header...... - 4 months ago
I for 1 would like to see a permanent marker on the header with some type of design for Phil, AKA Ram 23.....maybe something like a RAMS Horn with 23 inserted into the HORN.....IMO he was a major developer to the board as well as the man who designated the name of the board. As we always change the Header with new arrivals to the team I think that he should be a mainstay of the Header as well.by roman18 - RamsFootballFans.com
