#1 We did not address our run defense.
#2 We got bounced from the playoffs because of our run defense (see #1)



Ummmm, so the Rams acquiring Poona Ford, Nate Landman and Chris Paul, Jr. doesn't "address our run defense"?

How much improvement will occur is uncertain, however there clearly was ...

Ummmm, so the Rams acquiring Poona Ford, Nate Landman and Chris Paul, Jr. doesn't "address our run defense"?

How much improvement will occur is uncertain, however there clearly was a meaningful effort by the McVay/Snead regime to upgrade our team's run "D"... 8-) :!: :idea:

RAM SEASON ...

after years of playoff futility, it felt like we were just lucky to be there. It was a weird year, a lot of injuries in the beginning of the year and we were like five and four. Then we pounded Seattle in one of the greatest defensive performances ever. Squeaked into playoffs after finishing very ...

Bobby I was taken back by your statement the team "tanked." Do you mean they purposely lost? It peaked my interest and I looked at 2009, 2008, and 2007 seasons. The Rams basically won 4 games. In 2009 the Rams won one game. I think I have blocked this from my mind or PTSD. :(



The Rams went 3 ...

If an NFL team is reduced to starting its third-string QB for any significant length of time, then it's almost certainly facing a big-time competitive problem.

At least the Rams curerntly have a competent #2 QB, I'm remembering the times when when they went with Sean Manion, John Wolford or Brett ...

At least the Rams curerntly have a competent #2 QB, I'm remembering the times when when they went with Sean Manion, John Wolford or Brett Rypien as their top backup... :? :( :roll:

RAM SEASON!!



Wasn't Warner a third string QB? However your point is well taken.



Since Kurt Warner ...

That being said, we have logjams at a few position groups and we need his roster spot. TE, RB, ILB will be very competitive.



Personally, I would rather have the Rams keep a third QB on the active roster, as opposed to a fourth TE and/or fourth RB.

Quantity is no substitute for quality in ...

I'm always worried about opening-day losses, going back to the Rams' upset defeat by the Saints in their 1971 season opener, that was a year in which they ultimately missed the playoffs by half a game in the standings.

I'm especially recalling our team's crushing one-sided losses to the Eagles in ...

Rams 21, Chicago Cardinals 0
Rams 54, New York Yanks 14
Rams 27, Baltimore Ravens 10
Rams 34, Chicago Bears 14

Four impressive opening-day performances by our team... 8-) :idea:

Oh, and regarding your "rookie-wage scale era"-another thing with can all thank Samantha Badford for! :oops:



The rookie wage scale is one of the greatest reforms ever made in the league, it ended the era of players' agents promising that their clients were sure-fire Hall-of-Fame performers ...

COLD!!!!!!!!!!!



Well, it wasn't substancially warmer in the game's first half, when the Rams took a ten-point lead (17-7) than in the second half, when they collapsed and lost (20-23) that postseason contest.

To me, the story of our team's 1969 season was that George Allen's ultra-emotional ...

They don't give details for example where clots are or why (genetic flaw?) But not good. I would presume being on blood thinners in NFL would be contraindicated. That's why Humphries is on Rams, not so much to add depth but to replace Jackson.



Terrible 'unlucky' news on Friday the 13th, this ...

I do agree with almost all of your post but would have to say Mahomes was pretty clutch leading his team to 17 4th Q points in their 38-35 come from behind SB win VS the Eagles in SB 57. Add 3 SB rings from trips to 5 of the last 6 SB's... lotta clutch there...



Patrick Mahomes also led the ...

I know we have Quessenberry and Humphries but neither to me are a lock for a very very valuable position.



Given Alaric Jackson's current health problems, to me there's a 90-95% chance that at least one of them will remain on our team's roster this year, and a 45-50% chance that both of them ...

I was unfamiliar with most of the players excecpt Norm Van Brocklin.

The game was played at Kezar Stadium. Van Brocklin passed 16/18 for 290 yards and 3 TDs; Elroy Hirsch had 5 receptions 145 yards, and 2 TDs.

Love it when the 9ers lose!



There's quite a bit of 'recency bias' in looking at ...

He doesn't look that much like Tony Guillory to me, however without a uniform number (his was #88) as identification, I can't be certain... :? ;)

RAM SEASON!!

--The Commish

Makes us look dumb for letting him go for so little our compensation besides draft picks was a guy who literally caught 2 passes in his NFL career and was awful on the Rams



Actually, I suppose that it makes the McVay/Snead regime seem slightly less stupid by comparison; our team would look ...

Nobodies putting a gun to people's heads and forcing them click or post. Those that would like to move along should do that and not bother playing thread police.... AKA trying to F with free speech! JMO!



Exactly! If you're not intertested in a particular NFL-related topic, simply skip it and ...

This thread totally 'went off the deep end' into blustering, name-calling partisan politics right away, didn't it?

That Americans can't celebrate Independence Day without bashing their fellow countrymen (and -women), it shows that there are major issues with division and intolerance toward ...

This ban policy not only includes personal attacks, it also includes racist comments, homophobic comments (such as the term “faggots”), and any other language that is clearly offensive.



Right On!!

I'm in full support of this approach, it takes some courage on your part to establish it here ...

Our starting QB is at the spa getting back massages.

This is when he should be working on his timing with the offense in general and his receivers in particular, notably the new ones, hmmmm?

Also, doesn't Kay Adams strongly dislike the Rams...?? :(

RAM SEASON!!

I'm hardly a fan of the Buffalo Bills, however it's great to see a multimillionaire who actually *does* care about common working Americans, meaning that he practices that belief as opposed to merely claiming it.

I grew up in that area (western NY state) and the middle-class people there overall ...

So then what would his timing with his receivers, especially the new ones from his perspective, be like in that game...?? :? :roll: :?:

RAM SEASON!!



Work in progress...never afraid of a little work my friend



Ummmm, I don't believe that anyone on the Rams is 'afraid of a little work ...

My frustration is with the system and the extremes that have become norms. The numbers—be they for players (Deshaun Watson?), owners, actors, CEO’s, and others—can be insane.



Indeed! I'm against any group of people being overwhelmingly overpaid, which unfortunately is quite common in American ...

But if Staffords back continues to be a problem, he could retire. I don't think Jimmy G's contract goes past this year.



So you don't believe that Jimmy Garoppolo would re-sign with our team if he had the chance to be its starting QB next season...?? :? :roll: :?:

RAM SEASON!!

--The ...

How did this happen anyway? Did the rams medical staff miss something before we gave him a new deal? Because if he is damaged goods we could have pursued a qb in the off season or draft . Now there is no one available and we might have to roll week one with jg or sb.



Well, I'm now pretty much ...

If Matthew Stafford is still struggling physically in September, I would rather that the Rams put him on the Injured Reserve list before the season starts, then in a month's time he could be evaluated as to whether or not he's ready to return to action.

That way, our team's players would know that ...

I have no idea whether or not Puka Nacua is a narcissist, although there are plenty of them around these days, including numerous athletes.

Hopefully he will get this situation resolved *tout de suite,* the Rams definitely don't want him distracted during the season... :? ;) :geek:

RAM SEASON ...

Let's go with what we know. JG knows the playbook, knows the players, is an experienced vet, and has been a winner.



Yes that's the number one role for a backup. JG like him or not, knows the playbook and is ready to go..

Hard no on bringing in anyone to replace JG at this point.

Even if ...

Bro-the Rams have no Left Tackle and no starting QB-starting to think we are the team in trouble.



Well, that may be true, at least about the Rams' QB position, however it doesn't mean that the 49ers are in good shape going into this season either, does it?

Still, it's always best to be wary ...
