Gurley did not play in that game.

You're right and I knew that, just typed that all out without thinking it through. But that really is why I am hoping they overlooked the whiners, thinking things would be better this time around, and seeing them as a joke since they were worse than us last year plus had Chip Kelly taking over, who has taken a lot of shots since failing as GM.

My fear of course is that the game result was no mistake, that the whiners are already a better team than us. We'll have to wait and see on that, but I do think they match up well with Carolina too and might upset them this weekend.

Keenum should never touch the field again unless there is an injury.

And I will agree with your 2 cents. So now we have 4 cents.

If the offense did it's part I don't think we'd be talking about the defense much today.

We normally lock this thread about 24 hours after the game. This week's deserved a little longer opening.

That being said... it's time to move on folks.

His thoughts on safety were very interesting.


In Hardy's day, without the protection around the head, defensive players were forced to hit with their shoulders. In today's game, many players lead with their head creating helmet-to-helmet contact that shocks the brain, leading to rampant concussions across the league.

"In my day, you might get a tooth knocked out or break your nose, but that all heals in a week or two," Hardy explained. "In today's game, they break their necks or they get concussions. In my mind, they need to take off that plastic thing on their head and put back on the leather headgear. Yeah, you're going to get a broken nose or one of your teeth knocked out, but you're not going to end up in a wheelchair."

I think the Rams have some talent up front, but remember, Jeff Fisher will make them look bad.

The only people related to the conversation that deserve facepalms are the Rams coaches and players.

The fans are fed up. 2003 was the last time we had a winning season. I was a chubby faced seventh grader. Now I'm a college graduate. The world has changed a lot since the last time we were actually relevant (7-9 football isn't relevant football, sorry) When is enough going to be enough?

Easier and better to abandon these type of threads.

Thanks! I tried that, it didn't work for me! But I'll try it again!

You saw it when the played the Third Quarter, on the "D" side anyway!

To continue the food metaphor, the Rams are like that super cool pizza joint that's hidden. The menu (roster) looks great. And it's ducking pizza.

But two hours later, you get explosive diarrhea and kill yourself from the noxious fumes that pizza created and right before the end you question all your life's choices.

That's the Rams.

Dude... exactly.

I made it through the Rams 17 straight losses to the Whiners. I can get by this too.

They need to put Goff in and go more down field. Get Britt and Quick more involved. The slants qith both of them was working. Tavon just not working as a outside receiver. If you get Britt and Quick going it will open up for Tavon and open up for Gurley. Also they might as well get Mike Thomas in the Game

I didn't listen to the guy, but all I have to say about the game Monday night is that the Rams didn't look that bad at the end of the season last year. WTF happened between then and now ? It's the same offense we had last year minus Cook, so what gives ? We started with Foles and we beat Seattle. Ended with Keenum going 3-2 but at least we scored 2 to 3 TDs in each game. Monday was just horrible.

That's nuts. WTf, I feared as much when Fisher had no choice but to hire his tight end coach as OC. This team will never enter the new millennium with Fisher's household on the offense.

It certainly did seem like the Niner defense knew what was happening before they should.

.

We all whiffed like the homers we are, except the people who said they would be asleep long before the game finished.

Next time I'll say a heavy dose of fisherball.

.

His talk about keeping Keenum in is just saving face. Remember how many times he endorsed somebody during his time in STL? Yea, he replaced them shortly after. That soundbite means nothing.

That sure appeared to be true, although I'd be hard pressed to see a tree out there. Seemed like 2 or 3 really basic routes, which Case stared down.

That is what I thought I read. I just tried to rewatch the game. Niners didn't get their first penalty until 13 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

I turned it off a few plays later when I watched Sensabaugh wiff coverage. . . AGAIN!

I agree that with a horizontal passing game being used as an extension of the run game, there is no point in throwing the ball, just run it. 3rd and forever, just run the dam ball. Get rid of the WRs, replace them with TEs. Replace the TEs on the Oline with Olinemen and run the dam ball, 1940s style baby, but with cooler uniforms. Get rid of the QB position and let Gurley take the direct snap to run it or hand it off to T Austin.

I think the Rams position is fair enough after last night. The Seahawks and the Texans are too high and I still don't understand the disrespect for the Jets.
