Quotesacram that JF has something to do with that..... I hate the reflexive Fisher bashing, but there's no way NOT going for it on 4th wasn't Fisher's call all the way. Weak call. That said, that defense folded like a cheap suit on those last two Miami drives. Beyond frustrating.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker Not defending his efforts yesterday but they got to the 1, 7 and 16. It's not just on the QB at that point. Boras should have run three times from the 1. Run it 3 times from the 1 and they end up on the 6. Minimally, they needed to be more creative with it. Put Harkey in as the blocking back and give him the ball. How many times have we seen the Rams in 3rd and inches, espby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 You know, the All World LOT for the Cowboys? The announcers showed 4 clips of Smith blocking an opponent in this game by way of illustrating how and why he's considered such a dominant player. In three of these replays, we saw Smith throwing his opponent to the ground at the end of his block by using his superior hand and arm strength. Like a rag doll.

How about the # of times GRobber needed help from a TE or HB to secure the edge? He stinks. GRobber is a bust! Your opinion of GR is noted. Source for my stats: What about qb hits?

QuoteSpeed_Kills were on the field together on multiple occasions yesterday Off the top of my head I can recall one big play coming out of that formation - I had been screaming for Boras to do this before Benny got hurt To your point... play Benny more absolutely... bench... not yet. Just my opinion of course :thumbsup Truth is that Benny looks better right now. He's looked amazing sinceby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er and that's the problem. That last throw is nothing more than the question to the answer you already had. But in the end, it was one bad throw in an otherwise excellent game for him vs. a completely inept Rams defense. He's a backup. That's where he belongs, but today he played as well as you'd expect any good starter to play, which backups will do from time to time. Especiaby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM nm ... your take and even going further to say that the good isn't "camouflaged" at all, except for those who, for whatever reason, want to discount it. Keenum set a Rams RECORD for consecutive completions today! We'd all prefer the win, and I bet he would too. But who saw that coming?! There's been so much gnashing of teeth on this board about how mediocre Keenum is aby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams_81 I am a little more optimistic now than I was at 3-1. The offense at least did some things they rarely do. Significant improvement. I am skeptical that it will stick, but if not for the injuries on the defensive line, this would be a win. That's super reasonable, in my view. 3 phases of the game. Offense - looking TONS better! (Heck - Brian Flippin' QUICK looks like a boby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM I understand why fans are, and I also understand the frustration with Fisher. But I also think there is enough positive, (admittedly quite camouflaged at this time) that this whole thing could turn around instantly. I think there is an internal combustion coming... one in which players vs coaches erupts, (not publicly)... and the result of that family squabble will define thisby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestash The secondary is brutal. They are very vulnerable there. Especially without Tru. Hill is not good. Hill looks promising to me, but Tru vs. Hill is a BIG droopy at this point. And a health Quinn kicks their pass rush up a huge notch; without him their secondary gets exposed all the most, not least because Williams REALLY dials up pressure.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGlacierRam406 The Rams do NOT have a playoff caliber defense. PERIOD. What was supposed to be a team strength, to me, after watching 6 games this year is bottom 1/4 of the league.... I haven't looked at the stats, not that I need to. This defense is putrid. Especially on third down. No rush at all today, and its been weak all year. Ok, rant over.

Quote21Dog QuoteHazlet Hacksaw he was really good today. He forced it at the end but cmon - the defense totally blew this game today. exactly........when you get 28 pts from this offense you should win. It's not just 28 pts. It's 28 pts on long, time-consuming drives, + that 5th one just before the half. Lions had, what, 7 drives, max? So Rams gave up 4 TDs and a FG on 7 drives. Not goby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteIowaRam I wonder if they'll ask him about going for it on 4th and goal instead of just taking the points ... than trusting his O to pick up a couple inches. No problem whatsoever w/going for it there.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe_Zone Poor play by the defense. Once again the Rams can't put together a full game. It's either the O or the D that plays well but hardly ever both. D was missing 2 of 3 best players in Quinn and Tru, and it showed, but 31 pts and not much to blame the offense about in terms of field position - just GOT TO do better than that. Disappointing. And for the record, I'm 100% behind goby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach But this is where his lack of ability comes through along with the OL. When they are in catch up mode at the end if a game, they don't have the horses. What does "they don't have the horses" mean? Down 3 w/a minute and a half, are you saying somehow they didn't have the "horses" to get into field goal range? They had the horses today to set a new Rams recby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteArizonaRamFan Killing on the long balls, no mistakes yet (except laying out Tavon for that hit in the EZ) and multiple killing sneaks. Guy's earned his spot, despite his limitations. He blew it last week, and came back ready to play.

Jake, they couldn't RANK much worse, but they certainly could BE much worse. For one thing, they've been doing a solid job at pass pro, far as I can tell. I don't know what the answer is, and it might well make sense to shuffle things around (tho' I also don't buy the claim that "they aren't going to get better"? Why do you know that, exactly?).

QuoteRamUK I have heard the 'moral victory' comment by people against it several times now. Personally I haven't read a single person on this board claim a moral victory.

QuoteLMU93 The Rams can get by with Westbrooks vs. Hayes at LDE. But the dropoff from Quinn to Sims is much bigger. Sims is not a pass rusher. Longacre is already a better pass rusher than Sims and Fox is probably closing fast. Thomas is not bad at NT but I think asking him to play 50 snaps vs. 20 or so is a lot to ask. I would hope Brockers could at least split reps with him this week. He diby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsDynasty Quote21Dog He changes the game by himself. He and Donald on the same DL is what makes the Rams scary, no other (well maybe the Broncos) can put two game changers like that on the same unit that both could require double teams on the field at the same time.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield You are one of the "I favor skill players over a non-skilled player no matter how good and valuable the non skilled guy is" type. The irony here is that our most skilled player -Gurley-isn't getting anywhere because we don't have good enough non-skilled players on the O line. If so - no, actually, I wouldn't make that trade.

Quotemax The reality is that Keenum is a 2 TD QB. That's the most production that we should expect from him game to game. So far in 4 games, outside of Tampa, Keenum has produced 0, 0, and 2 TDs. Some folks say throw out the SF game, ok, then we should also throw out the Tampa game. I think neither are normal representations of what Keenum is.

QuoteRams_81 Donald is the 2nd best player in the NFL. Aaron Rogers #1. But I would not trade Donald for Rogers for this team. Rogers would be wasted with this coaching staff. Donald is not wasted and is the most influential player in the NFL right now with his team given the circumstances of the team. If the Rams go to the playoffs, Donald should run away with the MVP. .....overbloby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach If we had Julio Jones and Donald was with Atlanta, most on this board would say never give up Jones for Donald. It's natural. If Jones and Donald were the same age, I'd do it. You have to score to win. But there us almost 4 years difference. Put it this way...if we knew Jones and Donald would be the players they are and both were on my board at draft time, I'd take Jones.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewv ram QuoteSaguaro What we have here now is a situation where the obvious long-term starter for this team, the player they hope is their franchise QB, can't be inserted into the lineup because they've won a few games with the backup, who very likely won't even be here next year.
