My guess is, that they are graded more harshly for missing calls than they are for making calls that should have been left uncalled. Instead, making unnecessary calls should be one of the worst things you can do as a ref, possibly second only to failing to call penalties that can or do result in an injury. If you demote or fire the officials who get flag happy, you eventually reduce the numby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I have noticed RamsDude has been posting quite a few links to videos about the Rams and always puts VID at the start of his post. I read the board at work a lot and can't usually watch videos here, so I LOVE that and it is REALLY helpful. Any chance we could do the same thing with posts that are just links to article. Maybe put ARTICLE or LINK at the top of the subject? My favorite partby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
He could put up some big numbers in that offense. Especially given the sad state of their current WR room.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I live in Rantoul and work in Mahomet, within kicking range of the home of the Illini. Not too many Rams fans around here. You in this area?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
OK I am sure you are not. But I think you are right a lot. I love reading your posts. You really know the players and have reasons for your opinions. Thanks for taking the time.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Noteboom is a competent-ish backup tackle. That's something. But didn't he play better when we played him at guard? Could he be more of a Roger Saffold who was okay-ish at tackle but became dominant as a guard? On the other hand, if we re-sign Dotson, we have our starting guards.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Researched, well thought out. I will be watching your career with great interest.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
In fact, I thought it easily could have been called OPI. Kendrick was facing the QB and trying to catch the ball. I haven't seen the replay. Do I have a case? Or am I all wet?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I saw that minutes after I posted. But what is your opinion of operating in that way?by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Everything I have read about Van is that he has been a good guy, good teammate, excellent behavior and professionalism. What if this trade is almost entirely about helping out a good guy you know won't make your roster and sending him to a team that needs WRs and might give him a better chance to improve his career in a contract year? I mean, we didn't get anything. A bit of cap space andby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
All three of our losses have come against teams that participated in either the AFC or NFC championship games last year. I think it's very fair to say that the eagles and the 49ers are far and away the best two teams in the NFC right now. The bangles.. well we should have been the Bengals. And then the games against the 49ers and the eagles we were close we were in those games. I doby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Hopefully he doesn't take part in the return game. I'd just like to see him play WR.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Whenever I see Puka that is all I can envision. It is so perfect for him. It's a Ted Lasso reference.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Why bother to upgrade a player you hardly use, at least in the passing game? I guess he must be a great blocker because he is just competent at running routes and catching passes. Clearly there are layers of this offense that I just don't understand.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I go all in to build the offensive line. If we're planning to have Stafford as QB for 2-3 more years, we need a good pass blocking OL to maximize his upside. If we're not, we have to at least think about who our next QB is going to be. I doubt he is on the roster now,by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, that's a....take..... Tell you what, you can have Jeff Fisher run your offense and I will take McVay. Then we'll both be happy. I can tell you this - if he were on the market, 25+ teams would be happy to have him as their OC.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
A lot of our run plays were in the 4th quarter at Seattle when we were running into a stacked box just to keep the clock running. When you run, with the defense knowing 100% you are going to run, you aren't going to get much. I think we had two possessions in Seattle where we ran three times just to burn clock. Not saying we can't do better, but stats on this small a sample size are skewedby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean, look guys, we have played 3 games so far this season. Game 1 vs 2022 Playoff team - Big win Game 2 vs 2022 NFC Championship team - Lost by 7, could have won with a few different bounces. Competitive with a team that is roundly consider one of the best in the league. Game 3 vs 2022 AFC Championship team - Lost by 3, with one TD taken away by an instant replay that did NOT use &quby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Cooper Kupp is Isaac Bruce - Veteran with great hands, great route runner and overall great WR Puka Nacua is Tory Holt - Young and excited and highly productive. Tutu Atwell is Az Hakim - Super fast and capable of hitting home runs. Not as consistent as the top two. ?????? is Ricky Proehl - Proehl was an overlooked cog on the GSOT who showed up big in big moments (hello NFC Championshby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Remember how good we were in 2018, even with Jared Goff as our QB? I think the straw that stirred that offense was Todd Gurley. Once we lost Gurley, our offense really struggled. And while I always want a strong defense, with McVay as our HC I think it is always going to be the offense that is the identity of this team. If we could be that good with Jared Goff and Todd Gurley, how good coby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
What is this, the Hall of Pretty Good for a Few Years? Like seeing London Fletcher. He played well for a lot of years. And Steven Jackson is definitely underappreciated. That's the result of lack of team success.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
If a player is injured by another player on a blatant intentional foul, the player who injured the other player should be forced to sit out, without pay, for as long as the injured player is out. Oh, and I think he should still count on the 53 man roster. I know it is practically impossible, but cheap shots like that have to have a steeper penalty. The game is already dangerous enough withouby RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Seriously, it was an accident. I looked at my roster and realized I had made a mistake. 11 points later, I was happy I made that mistake. Unfortunately, I started Van Jefferson on purpose and he did not do a lot for me.by RantoulRam - RamsFootballFans.com
