Groh wasn't the problem with our offense. I bet he didn't wanna return.

Well, it's a foregone conclusion to a lot of people that the Patriots will win, so there is that possibility of interested parties betting against that for a profit if such a thing could be helped along.

And then there's this whole anti-patriotic trend thing going on, so I see where you're going.

Could be a win/win for the NFL if the play their cards right/wrong depending on your perspective.

I don't actually care, because I'm usually cheering for the underdog and I hate the Patriots anyway, with the Rams being the exception, which in my mind isn't actually possible since their recent trend is to play down to their opponents anyway ...

Yeah, he stole that from the movie "The Program."
James Caan made Omar Epps do that.

I always thought that was Mike Tomlin

I'm not making a LB the highest paid player on our team when our offense is dead last.

All my money is going to Oline and a WR

He represented his team perfectly in that.

I love you! Have my babies!

Falcons need to bodily search all the help (towel guys, janitors, etc.) to make sure none of them are recording their practices. Scrutinize Billecheck's, Brady's and Kraft's bank accounts for any large deposits to any of the officials who are going to officiate the SB.:fuelfire:

I always wish ex-Rams well... unless they play the Rams. Then, I hope they have the worst game of their careers.

ok, just saw the rest of that interview.

these are the players mcvay is excited to work with. naturally goff, gurley and tavon on offense. pretty much the whole d. he mentioned donald first, obviously, and quinn. then threw in ogletree and barron, tjmac and mo, tru, gaines and joyner.

donald will not be changing his playing style at all. he's the best at what he does and he will continue doing just that with phillips calling the shots.

i'm so impressed with the way mcvay expresses himself, his beliefs and his ideals. so much better than mr smug (who did nothing to act so smug).

Little help required - not sure if I have posted this in the right place or not so apologies if not.

I have been a manager in a Yahoo based Fantasy Football League for the last two seasons and have, in the main, enjoyed it.

I am now looking to set up a Fantasy League for UK based LA Rams fans and wanted to tap into the experience of other on ROD.

How are Yahoo Fantasy Leagues viewed by others?
Are there any Fantasy Leagues that are easier to run than others?

Any views or recommendations welcome.

If you’re wondering what Colts players think about the decision to fire G.M. Ryan Grigson, look no farther than the Twitter page of Colts punter Pat McAfee.

Damn.

I just hope they fire Pagano and snap up Shanahan so we can troll the whiner boards. Put that bottle of scotch down and make it happen Irsay!

Merlin said:

He hasn't done that, but I think he will consider it once he gets a load of Ogletree and Barron at ILB. In his defense those two are going to struggle vs the run otherwise, so it's that or add LBs.

Click to expand...

I think it's more likely that he moves Barron than has his NT two-gap. That's not his scheme. It's not how he wants his defense to play.

I think Bell being out had a lot to do with the Steeler's ruhsing. He is their best player.

The Steelers are good but had no chance

Until tonight, I would have said "But the Pats have seen precious few good offensive teams."

Woo Hoo they will be seeing one in the SB. Loss Number 3 please.

God I miss the days when our QB threw for 300+ yards on the regular.

Warner did that back when the rules were different. If you took that team and time warped it into today they would score somewhere near 700 and would hang a 70 burger on someone twice during the season.

Mackeyser said:

Okay, but what WR have we developed?

At some point it's either a total failure in scouting or coaching.


Seeing as Tavon has had breakout days and shown glimpses of what he could be, I tend to believe it's coaching. That also jibes with all the available evidence about our crappy offense.

Click to expand...

To this point though, he could be considered part of the problem. He drops contested balls. Many on 3rd down.

Some people are like bees: They're willing to die just to inflict little pain on somebody (In Pacman's case, career suicide)
That's the level of pettiness some people go such lengths to

The first offense of pulling a fire alarm without cause is a misdemeanor. Repeat offenders can face felony charges. However, the first offense may result in felony charges if the prank results in injury or property damage. Pulling a fire alarm inside of a building such as a school, an office building, hotel, etc. could have serious consequences. If the offender is charged with culpable negligence, each person present in that building counts as a charge of negligence. For example, if someone pulls a fire alarm in a hotel with 200 occupants, that perpetrator potentially faces up to 200 counts of culpable negligence.

I didn't know it was still any type of controversy that the balls were deflated? Just a matter of who is "responsible".

Well, that was a butt kicking!!!! That GB FB fumble may have been the most critical play . . . a possible 14-point swing that saw what could have been a possible 10-7 Atlanta lead balloon to a 17-0 lead.

The fumble and the missed FG completely changed the momentum. Or at least completely solidified Atlanta's momentum. Could just as easily have been 10-10 at that point.

Heard post talk about Mike Munchauk .

-- He took over for Fisher. Fisher as a Rams HC with The Rams had bad offensive lines from day one. Two times Bradford got hurt for the season. You would think he would have made the offensive line better.
-- Maybe it is all because of Mike ?? Not sure if he is a good OC ?? In my opinion it would give him solid resume by working as The Rams OC under McVay.
My guess is the Guy from Buffalo gets The either the OL or OC job depending on if a certain coach takes the Positiin or not ?? -- We should know shortly.
--Senior Bowl is huge for finding solid OL guys.

Can someone please explain the love/intrigue by Stills. Seriously, I haven't watched any dolphins games, and glancing at his numbers isn't really that impressive. The only thing I remember him from is dropping that wide open TD pass against Seattle in a 10-12 loss.

Click to expand...

He's one of the game's best vertical threats. You don't get him to make him your #1. You sign him to be your #2. He'd make sense if we bring in more of a possession WR like Pierre Garcon or Brandon Marshall. Stills takes the top off of defenses and works outside the numbers. It's about having someone that the defenses have to worry about getting vertical.

Let's get a ring for Chris Long now

He joined the Dark Side. He is dead to me.

The "new NFL" is another reason that Fisher's rather archaic determination to stick with a ground and pound offense was for the most part totally ineffective...

That's a nice lookin pup. My boy chased off some Jehovah's wittnesses a few days ago. Never been so proud of him. He is a sweet heart but he's a solid white pit with dark eyes so he looks mean when he gets to barking. He always barks at strangers but he has zero aggression. Gotta love dogs!

Uhhhh, I believe studies have shown the cases are dramatically higher for football players and actual doctors are attributing cases to repetitive head traumas.
