QuoteRamgator If this team EVER plays FOUR quarters across the board...Defense, Offense and ST.......AND COACHING, we could easily be a 14....SIXTEEN win team!

Quoteden-the-coach Sorry Gentlemen....There was a better to get that point across without mentioning his skin color and we all know that. Ryan should have stuck with the football being dark on a dark day with the dark uniform, plus the way Jackson handles the football would have made his point without being offensive IMHO.

It IS a disadvantage....to the defense. See: post above about MLB not allowing pitchers to wear long white sleeves.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com

Do you not remember how bad Warner was in his down years?by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
Warner's career was up and down repeatedly, even in the Arena League. Goff can bounce back.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
For two years, 31 other teams heard about "the boy genius coach" and Goff and Gurley and AD and Wade and they got sick of it. This is our year to be humbled and we could still realistically finish 10-6. I say the way the playoffs are looking, don't even look to them any more as inspiration.

WE WERE LUCKY: Catching Atlanta when we did. Falcons have turned defense around. We got them right before they did this. NO WE WEREN'T: Catching Tampa Bay when we did.

ESPN had a show today...biggest What Ifs in college football history. What would be the biggest in Rams history? 1. What if Vermeil hadn't have retired after winning the Super Bowl? 2. What if the Rams had paid Dickerson and kept him? 3. What if the Chiefs player wasn't offsides on Brady's interception and we played Kansas City in the Super Bowl instead? 4.

Who would you choose? I think it would be cool as hell to get one with Ferragamo, Warner and Goff. If it was four I'd choose Dickerson, Faulk, Jackson and Gurley.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
Our kick to beat Seattle misses by inches. Their kick to beat SF is good by inches. No call on PI helps us beat Saints last year. No call on PI costs us against New England and again at Pittsburgh. QB's arm is ruled to be moving forward in Packers/Panthers game, no fumble. Same play, different interpretation by replay ref in our game.

I remember riding in the car with my family, hearing updates every half hour thinking "what the heck?" I wonder which hurt the respective fan bases more...our two close wins in Dallas (76 and 79) or their two blowout wins in LA (75 and 78). As a kid, it was definitely getting blown out. But Dallas fans had to be wondering how they blew those two games at home all offseason.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
Only if we lose to Seattle at home. It's right in front of us. Go 6-2 and we're in. Go 5-3 and we're probably in. We're only one spot out of the playoffs, and most of those teams have to play each other. We've got two against Arizona, the Bears at home, and then the tougher games are all winnable. What if SF has home field locked up by the second to last game? Then we get to pay them backby Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com

Much ado about nothing. Basically saying he wants teams to throw at him some more and apologizing for not being ready when they did. Imagine being a top wide receiver and running routes all game long and the quarterback never throws it to you. Then with the game decided he finally does and you aren't ready for it, and you deflect it into an interception. It was frustration.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
Duke had the quintessential role player in the late 70s named Bob Bender, Dude dove for every loose ball, set picks, the whole nine yards.

1. McVay. Yes, I said it. Most of our problems come back to his play calling. Quite simply he gets too cute. That second down call on our first series after the turnover...what was that? What was he doing at the end of the game? Throw it down the middle. Run up and spike the ball. Kick the short field goal. Long term, I'm a buyer with McVay. But this year he is taking his lumps as I believe a booby Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
I was a college student at UK. They had these gambling guys on TV who promised five-star locks and one of them was on this game. So I spent the 10 bucks or whatever it was and the guy said "We're going with the Rams." All I needed to hear. We won, but we didn't cover that day. A friend of mine later told me that those Vegas guys give a different team to every other caller. I haven't seeby Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, the stats speak for themselves. But still I can't help but wonder why McVay has gotten cute in the last minutes of the two road games this year. Especially yesterday's game, when we were getting the ball to open the second half.by Great Bordeni - RamsFootballFans.com
