Jim Thomas - NFL Chat - 10/4/16

Most answers seemed to be fair. Couple of shots, but I don't see what everyone is whining about. Better than most weeks.
And he did admit to wanting bullets to feed his hate gun. But at least he was up front and honest about the haterade they all drink to the point of illness that is the forum who's name cannot be spoken in such a fine hall as this.

Plus you kind of have to pity the man a little when you consider the people he writes for/to.

Rethink what you know

Wow, those are some seriously good words for Donald!

Too many Ram players giving interviews this week...bad, bad, bad. Takes away the focus.....the Rams aren't mature enough for this. Even Tavon said they were 'reading their own press clippings' (paraphrase) after 4 exhibition games.

They are still the youngest team and they haven't proven enough to be a playoff team, yet....though we all know that this is a real possibility if the offense develops.

This is the granny in me, I guess. Whatever, lol

Heads Up: Mark Barron On Jim Rome Show at 11:35PST

I could understand Mark Barron. You guys are funny.
He is definitely one of my favorite players on this team. My brother is a Buccaneers fan, and he's always pissed about TB being a training ground for good players to go somewhere else and excel. So I had my eye on this guy from that perspective. I like his last comment the best. He doesn't rate anything hard, if it needs to get done, just go and do it.
I also like what GW said about him, he told his coaching staff to not say anything to Barron, if he asks a question, answer the question and say nothing else, this guy is a natural, absolutely amazing player.

A Case Keenum Thread!

I was happy ...
... when Austin Davis threw 17 of 20, 2 TD, 0 INT to beat the Seahawks...
... when Kellen Clemens beat Indy 38-8...
... when Shaun Hill led the team to back-to-back wins of 52-0 and 24-0 ...
... when Nick Foles threw 16 of 24, 3 TD, 0 INT to beat Arizona ...

Now I'm happy to add the time Case Keenum helped the team go 3-1 to open the year.
But I think in the end it's just going to be another line in the same list.

Pretty much this. Keenum is too limited to be the long-term solution. Hopefully he can keep scarping out some wins for us, until Goff is ready.

Former Rams Poll

I'll be happy for guys when they have success on other teams, but I only follow guys week to week who were legends or I was a huge fan of.

Guys I kept tabs on week to week once they left:
Bruce, Holt, Jackson

I voted indifferent - invisible

Translates to sometimes depending on player's character and play, as others have discussed.

Eventually, they sort of disappear to me. I lost track of Holt....did he finish as a Cheater?


Two that I followed
Gabriel when he was traded to the Eagles - hated that
Dickerson - hated that one too

Who’s the team to beat in the NFC?
Posted by Mike Florio on October 3, 2016

More than 40 percent of you think the Broncos are the team to beat in the AFC. So who’s the team to beat in the NFC?

Glad you asked, because that’s the question we’re asking on Tuesday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio and NBCSN.

So vote early, vote often, and if you ultimately think there isn’t a single worthy candidate, vote for no one — or vote for the one most likely to beat the candidate that scares the bejeepers out of you.

We’re still talking about football, right?

Anyway, feel free to battle it out in the comments, or to complain about who we added to the list and who we omitted.

Who's the team to beat in the NFC?

Eagles: 3-0
Falcons: 3-1
Seahawks: 3-1
Giants: 2-1
Packers: 2-1
Vikings: 3-0
Seahogs arent the team to beat. the Rams have shown everyone how to take them down. winning close games at least gives the Rams the confidence that they can do so. that last TD drive was huge for Keenum (i must admit it was a very good pass / catch by Quick-----nice adjustment to the ball------have to give props to 2 of my biggest question mark players on the team). maybe this is the game that gets Quick mentally right from here on out.
what on earth is wrong with the running game ?? maybe some of these big gains on passes might loosen things up, but wholly schmoley its been downright embarrassing. play action doesnt work unless both facets of the offense are moving forward. nice punt return by austin, and finally a face mask penalty on the opponents as well.

What Cardinals fans are saying ...after the game

When a couple of ill-advised challenge flags after a gritty, tough divisional road win becomes the focus of conversation i have to take a step back, giggle and shake my head a little.

I remember going 12-4 once and complaining about Martz blowing time outs every week. "Yeah but what if..."
I feel a little silly about it now tbh.

Some people just like to bitch.

If it becomes a big deal... bitch about it.

Bitching about it maybe becoming a big deal if... when... maybe.....

Please.

After the whole Martz, Shaw, Georgia tear down of one of the greatest teams ever in the history of football... This team has been downright shitty for a decade and a half. From Bulger to Foles and defenses that were.. wait? was there even a defense?

This team is competitive now.

It's been built up from the worst organization in the league. And sometimes the ball bounces the wrong way.

If the o-line would just settle down. I saw some contested catches this week! Gritty play from the QB.

It's easy to criticize afterwards. But you know that a challenge lasts longer than a time out right? I do not know, I don't care if you criticize Fisher. But it did not affect the game. And it turns out that every decision Fisher made was exactly right due to the outcome and results.

Heh. :)

3-1

and nobody is comfortable.

I prefer this to talking about the draft already.

Vermeil on Goff, Bradford, Wentz, and qb development.

No, he inherited Banks - that was a Rich Brooks/Ortmayer pick. Same year that regime drafted Eddie "stone hands" Kennison over Marvin "hands like a ninja" Harrison and Lawrence "I'm drunk bitches" Phillips over Eddie "Heisman" George.

Banks was the first QB taken, but in the second round.

Rich Brooks commented at the time that that draft made the Rams "more explosive". crap blew up alright, but it was not Dicky V's doing.

After the 1998 season, John Shaw forced Vermeil's hand in hiring a new offensive coordinator and Martz told Vermeil that Banks couldn't play. They got Trent Green, Marshal Faulk and Adam Timmerman that off season and then drafted Torry Holt (over Champ Bailey) to and the rest is sweet history.

You're right my bad. Vermiel's first pick was Pace.
I knew that. :palm:

After 4 Games Donald Best Player in NFL Again (PFF)

And to think that I agreed with the , "He is too small crowd"

I thought he'd have success in the NFL to the level of a D'marco Farr but I never saw this coming because of his size. I never expected him to be a complete package DT that can do everything... even rush from the DE spot... are you kidding me? Dude is a once in a generation freak of nature.

Test #2

ok.. still not working..
this is what I'm doing..hopefully some one can spot my fail.
