The risk reward analysis fails to take into account that we need to get the ball back to win. Moreover it's clearly biased when you what a "good coach would do" but whatever...by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
hes on my fantasy team...if i sit him im sure he will breakout.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i heard that and perhaps hes right to some degree has he had his best day...but to my eyes there were still quite a few times with the bills crowding the los daring the rams to throw. maybe im wrong, but thats what it looked like..and i believe the commentators made a similar observation. in any event they should signs of life in the run game but it still needs to get better and i think passingby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i agree with what your saying but the trick is to separate your personal feelings to assess the situation objectively. and even if you still believe the fake punt or another call is still wrong...its simply not "moronic" as a fair case can be made to suggest it was a good call. the situation is simply not black and white like that.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
I wouldnt be surprised if fisher gives him a series or 2 to see how he performs before giving him a start.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
please...no he didnt. it was simply an observation. and your statement about no other coach is pure conjecture. in fact im fairly certain bellicheck did something similar a few year ago. but again whats the difference: you either place the game in the hands of the special teams or the defense. do you think they would have stopped mccoy? he had 150 yards rushing. and btw..tru would haveby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i dont know that its moronic but i think its probably a fair criticism...i too would like to see them go downfield more. i dont think any defense respects CK as a passer which is why britt is looking pretty good. personally i think they need to take advantage of what the defense is showing and throw their way out of this issue whether its JG or CK. then come back to gurley once the defense is sby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
im not really sure what you mean. its "moronic" to be conservative then aggressive? you would prefer the offense to be predictable? but again i think its fair to debate the 4th and goal call too. but lets be real...none of these decisions have an obvious "right" answer. they didnt win so I guess they were the wrong calls. i kinda wanted them to go for the td..and if yoby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
its fair to criticize, question and debate the call but its not moronic. yes if you dont make it the game is over...but if you dont get the ball back the game is also over..so whats the difference? how many time have we seen fisher punt in the same situation to never get the ball back again?by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
and i dont think your wrong but to me those are the reasons you do it...because the "book" says you dont thus its unexpected. plus i think mccoy would have run over us and we never get the ball back. so in essence they made a stand on special teams instead of defense and quite honestly ST is probably the best unit considering all of the defense that was out.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
its just not gonna happen. some people on this board will just not be happy regardless of wins and losses until fisher is fired. im sure you see the same as me...post after post by the same people harping on every questionable decision as evidence of coaching ineptitude. and if you dont agree with the observation you are an apologist. whatever..its just the nature of internet i guess..everythby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree the play calling was a bit to conservative but I have no issue with the fake. With a defense at full strength maybe you kick it but with all the dlinemen down and tru just getting hurt I was skeptical that we would stop them.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Assuming Fisher is being truthful that Goff is ready I'm ready to see him.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
win or lose the bash fisher crowd continues to complain over every and any "error". its not really worth the time or effort to respond to these posts anymore. im not happy with the loss but is it really necessary to say fire the coach after each loss...and win for that matter? isnt there a more nuanced conversation to have? you post like the "errors" are plainly evident...yby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
you must be %$#@^ cuz your not using good judgement. good judgement requires you to weigh all the options and not find facts to coincide with a preconceived conclusion. and again feel free to maintain that this "melding philosophy". go find 1 offense that is pure anything..its a unicorn..it doesnt exit. everybody steals things that work. i respect but never heard faulks commeby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i pretty much agree with everything you just said although i dont recall the sensenbaugh thing. i THINK the problem is that some people on here do pretend to "KNOW" whats going on, ignore any other possible explanation and use speculation by writers as "proof" for their theory when in reality the writer "knows" nothing more than we do and in some cases less. inby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
you said... But Case Keenum is right there. I mean RIGHT there. If he says there's been a "lot of change and it's a lot to process", I think I have to believe it. Right? You seem to imply this is a bad thing. If i misinterpreted than I apologize. My response is that the offense from last year needed to change so I have no problem with introducing change even if its "alotby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
so what is my bias and/or agenda? I noted that coaching may be an issue or the issue, but so may a number of other factors so feel free to stick your head in the sand pretend you have all the answers. and regards to your earlier sanity comment...sanity is not truth. sanity is conformity to what is socially expected.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
there should be a lot of changes...as everybody on this board pointed out...the rams offense sucked last year...why would you not try to change that?by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
First no one is denying that the rams offense needs to improve. A bottom dweller offense wont consistently win games. No one I think is arguing that point. Second and more importantly this article isnt about the rams offense. Its about Jared Goff and "attempts" to explain why hes not playing by insinuating coaching is a problem. I acknowledge that coaching may be a problem butby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
More nonesense for uninformed writers... first off weinke wasn't "hired to be their new quarterbacks coach" he was the qb coach last year. This error makes the rest of the article suspect to me. Nevertheless, they did retain boras and hire groh. But what are all these "voices". Are the rams the only team with a qb coach and an oc? Isnt that the same exact situation asby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Because DV initially says the following another Warner "No way I could believe he could end up being what he was," Vermeil said. "We didn't know he could play at the level to be the most valuable player of the league." So he didnt know his own QB was that good but he does no from afar that another is not... And it's because of coaching? Seems hard to believe...by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
They so desperately needed to get a qb in the draft and I'm completely fine with what they gave up to get the one they wanted. Don't know that Goff will be Luck but if he can be a top 10 starter this team will be consistently in the playoffs.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
who are all the other 4th round picks who have been developed "properly" by game 4 of their rookie season? yes, there are always 1 or 2 lower round guys who outperform their draft position (dak prescott, for example) but quite frankly that is not the norm. the problem to me is fan expectation. The general fan thinks these guys are going to come in and perform like 10 year vets. But tby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams coaches are unproven and inept.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
i acknowledge both those possibilities however its also just as possible that fisher doesnt want to play a rookie qb before he THINKS hes ready OR while the team is winning with CK. You know not so long ago it was en vogue to actually sit a qb so that he will be successful when given the opportunity. In fact i think there are probably more of those example, then guys who come in and succeed rigby PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
its pretty hard to make the argument that either is better given that goff hasnt actually taken a snap in the regular season. if goff comes in and lights it up then all of this "controversy" goes away and the narrative then becomes how smart the rams were for letting goff sit, watch and get acclimated to the nfl.by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
He was a Georgia guy. Maybe he doesnt like how Kroenke dealt with the purchase from her kids, St Louis, or the move. Who knows?by PHDram - RamsFootballFans.com
