My point is more direct questions then lay ups, ZN.... it is Fluff City and I rarely read them anymore unless McVay puts a little something between the lines.... I see NY writers ask more pointed questions of the Jets and Giants coaches and staff as well as the Patriots writers.... And in regards to Whitworth, he is clearly slipping or slipped. Age? Injury?

....all this may be true, but the way it ended with Brendagate and his thumb and being pushed aside by Mike Martz and Marc Bulger playing left a sour taste in Warner's mouth.

...even Vinny (who I will miss) made excuses, probably because they know if they ask hard questions they get shunned a bit, but those press conferences are so tough to watch as they are all rah rah blather that does address questions like: "While we all love Andrew Whitworth, why has he slipped so badly this year?

....I was agreeing average to below average QB statistically and not winning games when the chips are down. I really like Jared Goff, but he has not won a ton of games on his own (ironically he DID put the team on his back against the Saints in the NFCC Game) and should have gotten accolades in GZ does not miss a 44 yarder in SEA, but with a horrendous OL did you really think he was going to leaby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
There is some merit to this. He is not a game changing QB when the chips are down. He cannot will his team to victory like a Wilson or Brady. But Wilson's or Brady's are truly one in a billion. Goff is not that. He is proving to be a gifted thrower, good person and QB, and a good face of the team in terms of working hard, new stadium QB/image, Super Bowl on his resume, etc. But has he hitby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...major, major, major regression are so infuriating. My gosh, either play Gurley until he cannot play any more due to his arthritic knee or don't. This management is stupid. ZERO touches in the 4th quarter of a game to save him? Save him for what? It truly is mind-numbingly stupid. It is embarrassing. And Jared Goff is exactly what NE said he was in the SB.

He is turning into 1989 NFC Championship Jim Everett and later day Marc Bulger. He does not scan the field and panics. He is slow to get rid of the ball. I had zero confidence in those last two drives last night. Zero. I stopped posting on the Game Day Forum because all I would do is pick out his flaws. It is so disconcerting they JUST gave him a $110,000,000.00 payday.by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

I know we have discussed this ad nauseam, but the 2018 23rd pick the Rams traded to NE for Brandin Cooks was used on OL Isaiah Wynn. He blew his knee out in preseason of last year and has played 1-2 games this year. I know Cooks might ironically be hurt and out for a while (or ever?) but even if Wynn ends up being a stud, no guarantee picks are good players or stay healthy.

He looks ticked at McVay for the play call. He shows his anger directly towards the Rams bench, not to a Falcon player IMO. It is strange, he does seem like a miserable person this year.

...it could be huge, just huge. Nothing against Peters; he was a professional during his time with the Rams and never blamed anyone. But the bottom line is he did not fit Uncle Wade's defense, they changed to a zone after the NO debacle in the regular season last year, but their coverages were soft this year as Talib is 33 and was banged up.

Goff in the cold could be ugly at GB, but I am not so worried as the Rams are so good on the road under McVay. Including the post season and "home games" in London and the SB loss to NE, they are like 18-5 with losses to NE, a 13-3 MIN team in '17, losses to a 13-3 NO team and a 12-4 CHI team in '18, and the heart breaker to SEA a few weeks back on a short week...by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
