The poster who guessed that Mo Alexander was going to be cut was the correct one on who gives up his roster spot for Thomas.

Wait ....what?

No excuses... We scored 10. Realistically we left 10 for sure on the field. But bottom line, we scored 10 points. Also, who said I am sure or even think that La Fleur is a better play caller than McVay?

Well, that's pretty relevant to whether or not he should give up play-calling duties. If LaFleur isn't better, how does it make our team better?

You're welcome and thank you!

To be honest, I didn't know that he was still alive up until now. On film, the guy looked like a baller! RIP Y.A. !!

I'm looking forward to Week 17 to see Black Hole South in StubHub.

Young, first year head coach....nothing wrong with that...players play.

There is a total lack of consistency with NFL officials unless your taking about being consistently bad, there they are consistent. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, they suck.

This is the maddening part to me.
One crew calls holding, one doesn't. One is tough on illegal hands bs DBs, the next one isent.
They really need to shorten the rule book by nearly 50% and have specific areas of focus.
The game is probably too complex for that however.

No clue but I'm tired of the young team excuses . This team is built to win now so it's time to show it , because another year without sniffing the playoffs in unacceptable.

Click to expand...

We are tired of it, but, that doesn't mean it isent true.
The team had already shown more discipline in terms of silky flags....oh where have you gone Eugene Sims?
What has been lacking is execution.
Offense was not good yesterday and execution was an ongoing issue. It had been a problem on D until the second half of the Dallas game.
Lots of fumbles.
Overall moving in the right direction.
The next three or four games will probably determine the Rams fate this year.

I’m just pointing out the irony.

Ramrasta said:

I just don't see it happening. McVay is a no excuses type of guy that puts the blame on himself when things aren't working. It would need to be a bigger mouth coach like Bruce Arians.

Click to expand...

Your right, But it might carry a little more weight, with the NFL, coming from our "Golden-Boy" vs that Deuche-Bag Arians!!

I'm not blaming GZ for this one.....one miss? naw....

Fumble, fumble, int, int, fumble.....on a strip sack....on a LT that has been compared to Orlando Pace....lots of blame to go around...so it fits in the team loss category...

Not convinced.

At this point, just trying to get out of this time machine that has me at 3-2 after blowing a home game we should have won. I know how rest of season plays out.

Do you? Stop it brother. That's stale thinking. I love THIS team. Terrible loss, but keep that head up son.

We get to say it again for different reasons but next week is the most important game of the year. Have to see how this team responds to adversity against a tough opponent on the road. The Hawks showed the Jags a good game plan to slow this offense. Let’s see how McVay adjusts.

This team is growing before our eyes but visions of ‘99 got the best of us fans. Admit it, in the first quarter we were all feeling it. But THIS team is taking the harder path. I still think the result, in spite of this loss, is similar as we build toward a New dynasty.

Good answer, but I think I didn't word my question properly. For example: I wonder if Fisher said "we need a OLT with our first round pick". Les Snead then works on rating the OLT's and hands Fisher the list. Did Les have Robinson at #1? I kind of doubt it considering how well Les has hit on UDFA and late round picks. Did Fisher get the list and then overrule Les on who was top of the list? That's kind of more what I was wondering.

A lot of GM's has Grob at #1, just goes to show ya

Interesting ref record stats, and the names are funny. I know a lot of of people don't like "bogus" Bogert, including me, but what's our record in games he's called on us? I don't believe that was mentioned earlier or I didn't see it. Now I'm curious about the Rams' record in Markbreit's games he's called, the worst ref ever (now retired), but that's a lot of research so no need to go back.

Click to expand...

From 2012 to now, we're 5-3 in games that Boger reffed. Markbreit retired before PFR started tracking the data, so I've got nothing for you there.

Ants said:

:shocking:
Wow dude - that's some impressive research!
The other day I was trying to look up the Rams schedule from 1999 and had some trouble. :rolllaugh:

Click to expand...

Surprisingly, it's pretty easy to find. Just google the ref's name and go to the PFR link. They track everything back to 1999.

Where you get dropoff is physicality. Run game primarily, although at this point he might be noticeably better at pass blocking than Donnal as well.

Fair enough and a good point.

Replace stressed with lazy, subtract the shots, and you have my plan. I just microwaved some really nasty pizza from last night. I might go eat some chips if I get hungry later.

Now that is plan I can get behind. Got the sour cream and onion soup mix on hand.

Good on Murray to help out. I wonder how Steven Jackson is helping; he's also a Vegas native.

I looked when I saw that and haven't seen anything from him.

Can't wait to see the best uniforms in NFL history on the field today,

The Rams capped their Coliseum capacity at 65,000 this year, at least partly because hosting 90,000 fans at a 94-year-old venue became a logistical nightmare.

Click to expand...

I was at that game last year. It was a mess logistically. You couldn't walk anywhere without bumping into each other. Biggest thing for me was we had to leave early to catch the train back down to the OC. Hated missing the AO fumble recovery.

I didn't know they capped the attendance at 65K. My shithawk fan sister wanted to come down this year again for this game. I told not to bother, i didn't want to bother with those crowds again. Now I wish I would have had her come down.

I paid over $400 for each ticket on Stubhub, there were good seats though. I wonder how many fans were turned off like I was by the experience at the coliseum. It is so much more comfortable sitting in my Lazy Boy with my big screen and 7.2 surround sound. Plus the fridge and bathroom are just steps away and the price of drinks is very affordable. I just have to make sure not to confuse the those two previously mentioned rooms.
