We had 462 Yards of Offense, 140ish more than them.... 2 picks 4 Sacks how is that a losing effort?

Rampager don't bring facts/stats into this.

Indianapolis punted one time total in their first three games. In game 4 alone against the Rams they punted 4 times. That’s not insignificant.

I was happy about Limmer getting deactivated, but the problems are bigger then just Limmer, alot more moves needs to be done, starting with Chase. Special Teams are costing the rams games. Why is he still here? Fine if you want Chase to stay, get him a proven assistant to help. He needs it, trust me.

Using Ferg was nice, but was that just bc Higbee was injured? I do not want Ferg deactivated again, just so Higbee can play. We will see, but unfortunately I expect to see alot more Higbee while Ferg is deactivated or sits the bench. That is disappointing. I get that Ferg isn't the best blocker but that is what Park is for.

Where is the rookie rb? He needs to get some carries. Maybe just maybe he won't fumble or drop easy catches. Personally I have completely soured on the run game, and any play involving the backs bc bad things keep happening when the backs are involved. Give me McMartz, Im sorry, I trust the ball in Stafford hands when he isn't throwing, tossing or handing off to KW or Corum. Again where is the rookie?

Les you got to get on that phone, this team needs DB help. Why is DWill still on the team? He cant tackle, he doesn't make big plays anymore and now he looks a half of step to slow. At least Forbs and Cobie can further develop, D Will is up in age and it is showing on the field.
Please put Reeder third on depth chart. Just knowing the Defense shouldn't be enough to get you on the field. If you like him on ST fine, keep him there.


Great detailed post. And frankly, I like seeing this side of you lately. The South Phly side of you is coming out… and it’s a good thing.

We should be annoyed and bothered. I am right there w you.

I’ve been trying to stay positive way too long. But not anymore. I mean, I’ll keep trying to be positive, but I’ve given way too much slack to McVay and Co. way too much credit.

When you’re right… why are we not seeing more dramatic changes w all 3 parts?.

Offense… pull up the rookie RB.

Defense… Forbes is downright awful. Did you see his stats I posted when he’s being thrown to? He’s a perfect 153 PFF rating for THE OPPOSING TEAM! This means he’s the worst player on the Rams (maybe the league)! But yet, keeps playing.

And ST, my goodness. Where do we start?.

Again, I’m w you here. By next week, if I see the same lineups, along w same schemes… I’ll be tapped out and I’ll just go into ‘whatever mode’ if we win, great… if we lose, oh well.

It’s like we’re going through the 5 stages of Ram grief and the hardest part for all of us is…we could be 5-0 or 1-4. We can be a contender, but we keep CHOOSING to be suckers.

Again, great post. And I’m right behind you on it. 100%. Tired of the pussyfooting around.

Question… what’s the definition of insanity again, C29?


Agreed Forbes been horrible. Rams should only use him for depth until he develops. Wow I cant believe I am saying this but I miss Spoon. Rams DB situation is a mess. What's worse is, it's so bad that Shula went back to his "10 yards off the receiver, bc I am too scared they will get beat deep", defense. This poor Db situation is a disease that has infected the defense including Shula.

being an SDSU alum the Chargers have got to figure out a way to get back to SD. they belong there


I agree 100%. They had a stadium in the gas light district which if you don't know is literally about five blocks of bars (throw in a book store or clothing store why don't you).. Outdoors on the bay. How do you not make that work.


I followed it very closely back in the day.
Problem #1: Spanos wanted the people of SD to pay a large portion of the stadium
Problem #2: the people of SD voted down the measure to include it in their taxes the following yr
Problem #3: Spanos and the city could not agree on a location
Problem #4: the hotel tax that was supposed to be a big supplier of the money was voted down

It was a complete clusterfuck and I really don't play Spanos for moving the team but it totally sucks. SD supported the chargers and they should still be there. Super Bowls in SD were awesome back in the day

December 19th, 2025, 10:37 am Re: We were Robbed December 19th, 2025, 10:37 am Re: We were Robbed

Robbed ? Maybe . Choked ? Certainly . Is there any chance the Rams staff/ FO can address the pitiful hole they have in failing to close games and address the Personnel coaching issues ? I do not think this FO possesses the ability or will to do so as it continues to happen over and over again.



^ This

Nothing to do w robbed. We literally GAVE Seattle everything they needed from us to win. Seattle even tried to lose the game, w all those turnovers...

Rams were the ones who robbed THEMSELVES more like it.

I also agree Ron on the FO office having to get involved at this point. I mean, Kronk had to look at Snead last night in the box and ask something like this...

Kronk: "Les, what is the hell is with this ST unit? This is the 3rd loss we have taken mainly because of this unit... Why does this keep happening"

Les "I dont know sir, there is no excuse for this"

Kronk "Ok Les, then let's fix this because I do not want to see us knocked out of the playoffs over this horrid ST unit. This just simply cannot happen. This was our game to win, yet we just sat there w our Di#k in our hand in the 4th qtr. We have to finish games AND PLAY TILL WE HEAR THE WHISTLE".

My final mock for the complete breakdown, please see this:
https://www.theramsnews.com/rams-final-mock-draft/


Nice work and the link to the article is even better.

I like the first 2 picks and have been reading good things about Bech. I hope the Rams add an ILB in there somewhere unless they have a FA plan for after the draft.

If we don't get Campbell at 26 I think even a late round ILB will add some competition which will push Speights and Landman. I like Bassa as a coverage LB.

Gilbert Manzano on si.com is a good writer. Always had Rams top 3 but not as bullish on them as others. Says verse has had a disappointing sophomore year.

Maybe read too many of his press clippings? Because there was a lot of hype about him after postseason.

December 20th, 2025, 9:36 pm Re: Are The Officials Really Stupid or Corrupt? December 20th, 2025, 9:36 pm Re: Are The Officials Really Stupid or Corrupt?

My retort is that the Rams are a semi one dimensional team. It is not the STs, Refs, or defense that will drive the Rams into the playoffs. The offense is the driving force. If the offense falters it doesn't matter who are special teams coach is, or field goal kicker, or if our edge rushers are not pressuring the opposing QB, we are doomed.


No argument there except to say the Offense didn't falter. They answered both times the Hags took the lead at 7-0 and 14-13. They never let us trail for long. They never got a chance to answer in OT.
Again bro, 585 yards, 37 points, 30 - 1st Downs, No TO's, No Sacks,
4 ST's Punts avg. 38.8 yards.

We are not doomed bro. I see you are still pissed about the game. Most of your posts today have an edge I don't see from you much... Me too but we move on. Again, good thing it happened before the sudden death playoffs and something has been done about it. Whether or not it fix's it remains to be seen.
I sensed NorCal was really stressing his concerns about the Defenses play lately and going forward in his weekly post game thread. AFAIC, he's absolutely correct. They have looked horrible 3 of the last 4 games and imo got fat statistically early in the season against bad O's - Titans, Saints and teams with key people out, SF, Ravens, Texans....Even including their decent showing against the Cards in the 45-17 blow out win, they have surrendered 120 points the last 4 games... that's a concern when you consider most of the good D's usually are in and go deep into the playoffs and the 30 and 40 point games we've been enjoying become rarer. That's when you need to play defense....
Like Nor-Cal, I remain skeptical on Shula and his unit remains my biggest concern.

Is that the 3 collapses against the eagles 9ers and Hawks will define this season if we dont cash a chip. And that will be hard for all of us to swallow.

I think ultimately and if we're being honest our D was not near as good as we thought. And special teams was a disaster.

Been a hard last couple days wrapping my head around the reality of what should have been an easy #1 seed clinching regular season.

I'm not happy about the last 2 weeks...but somehow I feel more at ease now because my expectations are much lower. Not expecting any wins in playoffs, so when we roll, it will be a nice big, fat surprise.

January 3rd, 2026, 10:07 pm Re: Is Shanahan a Genius? January 3rd, 2026, 10:07 pm Re: Is Shanahan a Genius?
SF should have lost by a good 20 points tonight, but Shanahan and Saleh have been able to get so much out of their wounded team and backups. Two Myers missed field goals didn’t help. But tonight Seattle was just too strong, and S.F. finally looked beaten up. They just looked done. Also, Shanahan has been really dependent on McCaffrey opening up the offense. That didn’t happen tonight. It almost did, but then the interception happened. Shanahan has done amazing things this year, but Seattle may have done the Rams a few favors tonight because S.F. will be more wounded than ever going to the playoffs. Seattle’s physicality outplayed Shanahan’s smarts. Why can’t the Rams be that physical? Bethune and Winters were both knocked out of the game. Did anyone else think that Purdy wasn’t getting up after his final pass?

January 4th, 2026, 4:10 pm Re: Rams vs Cardinals Game Thread January 4th, 2026, 4:10 pm Re: Rams vs Cardinals Game Thread

You guys all suck….well most of you. How easily you turn on our team who is beating a team right now that they need to beat, all while trying to avoid injuries. We are missing key players who make this offense run. The longer our O has the ball the less the D will be out there. We just might put up 40 on these guys, just like I said before the game started. What do you want, a 100 point lead? Sheesh..enjoy our team, we are going to the playoffs and we need to rally around our team and they will play good football. Everybody will be back next week and it will make a large difference.


No one is more positive with this team than me. Go ask slap……..

That said I’m known to say if there is an issue I will………

First Rams offense is elite. I’ve said so all year. But let’s not forget that “ these guys” are about ready to go 3-14……

This team blew how big of a lead in Seattle late. Posters have a right to still be pissed about that. Probably cost this team #1 seed………

It doesn’t “suck” to say the truth about this secondary. They again are horrible. Saying such isn’t being a bad fan…….

Im just going to offer this here... When it comes to linemen.. See Aaron Donald and the lack of size plus the doubts that always comes with it. If the guy can play, he makes the team, period. And by the looks of it, he just might be better depth than they've ever had. Too early to say that he's better than the other two.. But I think he's making the team outright. No P.S.

Boy I just didn’t see this coming. They peaked too soon. Well adams and Witherspoon will be gone next year probably Williams or Durant as well. They will roll with Stafford again but I wish they could find another quarterback. You have to be able to run now.


I sad it. I hope they aren’t peaking too soon and I was met with naysayers. How ever I think we will win today and turn it up a notch next week.

With you on Shula but what a disgraceful group of DB he is working with - this is a roster composition issue. As a group : smallish- slow- physically weak - non aggressive - cannot cover or tackle - what else is there ? BTW Lake had a dreadful game today. I don’t think you can proceed in these playoffs with this level of play.

He mostly playing/learning NT. Don't expect alot of stats from him. Rams are using him as a man eating NT who job is to hold his ground. Made a solid play against the Chargers, holding his ground (nothing special). Rams always knew he was a project, so they will be patient, imo. I wouldn't count him out.

August 26th, 2025, 9:29 am Re: Cuts/Waivers (Other Teams) August 26th, 2025, 9:29 am Re: Cuts/Waivers (Other Teams)
How the waiver wire works: Breaking down the biggest question of cut day
One popular question with NFL fans around cut day has to do with the waiver wire: How does it work?

Put your reading glasses on and let's dive into the answer.

All 32 teams have to trim their roster from 90 players down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET today. After those 1,184 players are released, any of them with FEWER than four years of NFL experience will hit the waiver wire.

The waiver order is the same as the 2025 NFL Draft order, so here are the teams that will have first crack at making claims:

1. Titans
2. Browns
3. Giants
4. Patriots
5. Jaguars
6. Raiders
7. Jets
8. Panthers
9. Saints
10. Bears

The Titans can claim as many players as they want, but if they claim a player, that guy automatically hits their 53-man roster, so they'd also have to release someone to make room for the new guy (If they claimed 8 players, they'd have to release 8 players to make room).

Any team looking to claim a player who was part of the initial cuts will have to turn their claim in by 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday. If two teams claim the same player, the player will go to the team that's higher in the waiver order.

If a player clears waivers, he can re-sign with his old team. So someone like Shilo Sanders could sign with Tampa Bay's practice squad, but only if he clears waivers.

If a player with MORE than four year of NFL experience gets cut, they DON'T hit the waiver wire. Instead, they immediately become a free agent.
