6:48 away from their first win of the season. Clinging to a three point lead against the Chargers. As a side, Marcus Mariota was carted off of the field in what appeared to be an air cast on his right ankle. They are apparently going to lose to jacksonville today. A couple of very damaging losses for the Titans.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
A Merry Christmas to you and your family. Go Rams!by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
That's right. I said it. 60. It would be the best Christmas ever. Well, second best next to 1988 when we brought our two day old daughter home from the hospital. OK, I'll take 50.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com

Coz he can play. Tough, hard nosed linebacker. Just no self control.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com

There has been an awful lot that I've seen from him that I like a lot. He's making some rookie mistakes, but he makes a lot of very good throws as well. I'd be very encouraged about my quarterback position going forward if I were an Eagle fan.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
He's only talking about how the job will be perceived around the league. I'm not sure I buy it, but let's stick what he's saying and not speculate about what he's not saying.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
it certainly wasn't a plus, but I think the real downfall for Fisher was the fact that the team, after five years, was too often little more than a scrimmage for their opposition. His downfall was the fact that he didn't seem to know how to spell the word "offense", let alone how to put one together, and he didn't know enough to put people in place who could and get out of their way.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
There was a time that Jeff Fisher was the hottest commodity on the market in coaching circles around the NFL. He's still stuck in that time. Reality has moved forward five years. A lot of money has been deposited into his account. He's been given Lamborghini money. He's delivered a Ford Focus. Now, mind you, a Ford Focus is a decent car. It'll get you from point A to point B. It'll dependby HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
about his taking the Texas job on live television less than a week before he took the Texas job. It happens all the time. That said, I seriously doubt Harbaugh leaves Michigan. At least, not yet.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
Saban is a legend in the college game, but I don't think his style translates well to the pro environment. Saban commands a lot of respect from the college kids and even instills just a bit of fear in them, but I don't believe that he can duplicate that in the NFL with grown men. He's tried it before and it didn't go all that well. Some would say he quit on his team. Saban is where Saban shoulby HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
might be a large part of what got Fisher fired. If he's all business on the practice field and in the locker room, I could be sold on him (not that me being sold is relevant), but if he's a cool, likable guy at work, I think we've had enough of that.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
It's very hit and miss. I think I'd lean towards Shanahan if it's going to be a coordinator, but the fear factor is the same. McDaniel has built his reputation calling plays for possibly the best quarterback to ever play the game. His one year with the Rams, they averaged 12.1 points per game. I know it's been a while. That Fisher had to go is undeniable. But man, this looking for a replaceby HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't want our new coach hiring the GM. I think a coach needs to work under a clearly delineated hierarchy. I think it's questionable how much of what has transpired over the course of the Fisher/Snead era actually falls on Snead's shoulders given the chain of command that the Rams capitulated to upon hiring Fisher. That should never happen again. Not absolving Snead by any means, but I thiby HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
and one that I hadn't considered until reading this article, is that the Chargers are coming to L.A., and it would be a complete disaster if the Chargers were to lure Harbaugh away from Michigan on their way in. That would secure the Rams' place on the bottom rung of the ladder in the LA sports scene for a long time to come, new stadium or no new stadium.by HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
By Dieter Kurtenbach Dec 12, 2016 at 3:53p ET The Rams had no choice but to fire Jeff Fisher Monday — his list of fireable offenses was growing by the day. But the Rams' list for who should replace Fisher should be quite short. In fact, it should be one name: Jim Harbaugh. The University of Michigan coach is hands down the best NFL head coach who is not currently a head coach in the NFby HighPlainsDrifter - RamsFootballFans.com
