QuoteGreatRamNTheSky QuoteRFIP QuoteRams43 Well, it kinda depends on how one defines “rookie”, RFIP. Isn’t it true that these are his first 11 starts under a coaching staff that understands the meaning of the word “Offense”? Sooooo... Can’t we give him a pass for those 7 starts under the Fisher regime? ...maybe if this was the NHL! Heck there they have 35 year olds from overseas comby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM One, (he has others), that seems to truly stand out to me is that he seems to be immune to 'bad breaks'... be they self-inflicted, luck, doesn't matter. I don't think this is a 'learned' attribute... I think he came into the NFL in possession of it. What I mean is: Although a cliche it is fact that the only play that matters is the next one... and IMHO Goff is a master at thisby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotewaterfield The Rams have shown they are a "good" team. Far better than they have been for a long time. That in and of itself is exciting especially considering who is coaching now. However I don't consider them a "very good" team and certainly not an "elite" team. Maybe I'm just quibbling on adjectives and adverbs. ... and - I won't count on the playoffsby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro or is Goff the only one that does that? I'm kidding, of course, and I know your question is rhetorical. It's a point some seem to miss. Course, presumably some QB's miss the open guy more often than others and it'd be interesting to know where Goff falls on that continuum. But pointing to particular times he missed open guys - and, especially, using static photos to make the clby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Quoteferragamo79 even with missed FGs I get it, I had this game as a loss, but they were destroyed...defense gave up a ton of yds and points offense did nothing I know Rams CBs went out, but Minny is way more banged up From 1973 until 1979 the Rams were mostly one of the Super Bowl favorites each year.

Quotewaterfield They were prepared. This isn't on the coaching. The Vikings are very good and they outplayed the Ram O line. But the Rams were prepared-sometimes that's not enough. It's amazing how quickly we've gone from a long-suffering fandom to one in which some think that a loss means we weren't well-prepared. Nah.

QuoteRams43 I’m gonna resist the temptation of the layup here, and, rather, choose to take the high road. Ahem... It would appear that McVay is re-evaluating his O weapon options. At least for this one game. Lol. You think a game in which Austin doesn't touch the ball and the team scores 7 pts is an argument FOR your anti-Austin obsession? Alrighty then.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- Quoteferragamo79 lets face it they missed two FGs could have been 30-7 easy if not more that was a butt kicking Nope, can not help but think a Rams 14-7 lead changes things dramatically.... the fumble was a game changer imo First of all, I think that's exactly right. It's more than not the matter of the score. The MORALE swing on that play was insane. Their players got crazby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSteve Is McVay liar? MOst all coaches are. Haven't heard McVay lie yet. WHen he lies the first time, I will cast my glance anew. Cynicism destroys, wisdom builds.

QuoteBlue and Gold QuoteIowaRam taking one or two steps to the side or forward , just as smooth as can be even before. Best Rams pass protection maybe 15-18 years. Not just in not allowing sacks but in now allowing pressure. Goff was not only rarely pressured, but he looked to me like he didn't expect to be pressured.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
I pegged him wrong. Was pretty unimpressed w/him, in part because I was disappointed by his speed - or lack thereof, as return men go. But he clearly more than makes up for it with smarts and unorthodox moves.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotesix2stack x ... not catching balls he should catch. No, he was gonna be out of bounds in any case, but he was trying to catch the ball, which hit him in both hands w/him seeing it in all the way - and, again, he dropped the ball. Getting to be a problem.by Suh-weet! - Game Time Forum
Quotechunkmeister Perhaps in a situation where they only need a first down to run out the clock and he drops to the turf after getting the first down. But he just isn't a natural ball carrier and is about 30 lbs away from even thinkin he should be going head first into the endzone (although on this play he seemed to just back himself in).

Although hes still getting snaps as WR or sure I think they have found a nice mix of him, Brown and Gurley TA is a luxury at this point His snaps are increasing.

"I'm sure somebody got out of their gap or something," Barron said. "That's the only way those type of plays happen." Not saying Barron's the only one who blew it on the Fournette run, but considering he was RIGHT THERE and didn't even slow him down, that's a very odd thing for him to say. May he's suppressed the memory of the play, and his inauspicious role in it, altogethby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePeoriaRa earlier this year, I am happy to let ST win one for us. People behave as if ST were an afterthought, and part of that is because it is hard to score consistently on ST, but the fact is that ST play probably is 15-20% of any win or loss. And today they played magnificently. ... the difference between the Rams' special teams and Jags' special teams play was so huge. KO returnby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

I ain’t complaining :beercan Kicker was struggling too much to go for the 54-yarder on 2nd down. A miss there and you get what you get - game over.

QuoteSpeed_Kills I hope hes not hurt too badly... for that team to be able to do what they were was incredible to me He had that 75 run and another for 18 and maybe 3 or 4 others where he almost broke it and I was holding my breath.

Go to 1:20. Barron does shed the block - slightly late, maybe, but he's in position to make the play. In fact, he not only failed to tackle Fournette, he didn't even slow him down. Ouch. And for a safety JJ is SLOW. We saw that last week on his int. Sl-o-owwwwww.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe Professor The rams offense did not get a first drive (ST scores), the teams then alternate possession until the blocked punt. Thus Jacksonville gets 2 possessions to end the half and then another to start the second half. If you don't count the knell down, the rams offense had 10 possessions and Jacksonville had 14. This is something to note when commenting on the rams offense. ... itby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteRamBill This contract looks like Tavon 2.0 to me. I was hoping they were done giving these kind of highly questionable contracts....guess not. Plus not signing Jenkins.

QuoteAtlantic Ram Chancellor had him easy. Pretty nice game from Austin. Glad he is off PR's though. Glad the fumble didn't hurt them. He is being worked into the offense more each week. Brown has been coming back from injury, which may explain why TA is getting more carries out of the backfield. And now they're actually crowded at WR w/Thomas back and Watkins under-used as it is.

QuoteRams43 QuoteRampage2K- QuoteRams43 Nice breakdown by Myles. Question: With amazing blocking like that, don’t you think that Gurley could have scored there, as well? I do. Reason I ask? Because Tavon netted zero yards on his other 5 (count ‘em, 5) rushes. ZERO. I’m gonna go waaaaay out on a limb and say that Gurley coulda done better than that. And Tavon’s 14 yards on 3 receptionsby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills I thought the Rams oline handled their pass rush for the most part (hey they are the Seahawks they are going to win some) I just dont think Goff was sharp and hes not seeing the entire field commiserate with the kind of protection hes getting.

QuoteRampage2K- Quotemax take a good look at Tavon, you won't be seeing him in a Rams uni next year. I wouldn't bet the house on it....his salary goes way down next year and he has shown ability to make plays for McVay this offense lately.(see the TD run) Let's let the year play out before we start cutting guys like Tavon and Quinn The obvious reason for McVay giving TA run is that he beliby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
