After tonight's shit show, I'd say it's time to cut ties with Fisher and move on. With that being said I really think, and I can't believe I'm typing this... We need to go after Jim Harbaugh hard.

This is the perfect spot for him to come back to the NFL. Come backs to CA, gets a chance to exact his revenge by playing the niners twice a year. Not to mention what he would do for Goff. If he can make Colin freaking Kaepernick look like an elite player, imagine what he could make Goff look like.

I know this isn't gonna be a very popular idea on this board, but this guy isn't stuck in the 90's and have the saying 'Can't teach an old dog new tricks' sum up his ability to be a Head Coach.

I hear tons of frustration about our QB situation and the question must be at this point:
Who Do you Want as our Starting QB next week?

of the streaker.

Look at it this way; we win next week we're 1-1 and likely tied for the division lead.

Too soon to be thinking about winning again?

You know the rules.

This thread is for venting.

I swear I think Fisher found one of Ray Malavasi's playbooks and is using it. You cannot be successful throwing to the sidelines all night 5 yards down field. Is it the offense or is it Keenums lack of arm? It's the 3rd quarter and it looks sickening. Just stupid. My god....say it's only game 1, but offensively we look EXACTLY like last season. New OC ? Same playbook.....

Tavon said they were aiming to be the #1 offense in the league.

Hate the Skinjobs, but that's a good team they got.

Reed is one of the best TEs in the game easy.

Mine is this:

I'm predicting that Gurley absolutely kills it tonight.
I can confidently say that Todd Gurley will have 200+ all purpose yards tonight.
I'm nearly ok with predicting he'll have 200+ yards rushing alone! But I better hold off on that.

What's your specific prediction?

OK... I'm torn. Do I wanna watch the game at home with the Wifey? OR....Us find a local bar that might actually have lots of Rams fans. That there is the crux of the problem. I don't KNOW a Rams heavy bar in the Huntington Beach area. I've researched it a bit on google, but nada. Any ideas?

Me.. Poppers of course.. Going to do some Nachos with them. I'm trying to think of something else to add, but Mrs. made hobo's for lunch so may just keep it at the above. Oh yes, plenty of ice cold frosty Kraftigs and a bottle of scotch for when we score tonight. I'll try and get some popper pictures up when I have them ready.

List what you all are having, and it may help give me or others ideas on what to fix.

Monday Night Countdown starts in 20 mins and a little more than 5 hours till game time and I can't wait. Beer is chillin, Brisket is in the crock pot, Beans are soakin and the Margarita machine is poised to begin making killer drinks and I have the rest of the day off......................NICE! Go Rams!
enjoy the game my fellow Ram Fans! Party time!:yess::cheers::yay:Go Defense!:lifting::lifting::lifting::lifting:

Anyone else notice that the broadcast team will be a whiner love fest?!
Announcers: Chris Berman, Steve Young, Lindsay Czarniak (sideline) uke::headexplosion::blah:

Anybody got any bets going on for tonight's game? Not just ROD bets- personal bets.

I've got two $49 bets with a couple guys I work with. Before we settled on the bet, one of the guys said he wouldn't do it if it involved wearing any LA "sh!t". (He's an old school SF fan) I told him I'd never wanna upgrade him like that, lmao!

Figured having these guys count out the exact amount of their losing team would be good enough.

OFFENSE

Gonna go with an obvious one in Gurley first. 9ers will key on him and it won't matter because our OL is going to give him creases all over the joint.

Second choice is Higbee. It's a dumb bet to think a rookie TE can make an impact but I'm riding a Kool-Aid high that just won't be denied. They're gonna scheme him open and he's going to terrorize the whiners' LBs.

DEFENSE

Quinn is my top choice on defense. 9ers preps have been all about Donald, and Quinn is going to remind everyone who he is.

Second choice is Barron. Dude was a terror last year when he didn't know wtf he was doing. I expect him to be absolutely lights out in this game.

I had seen that Spruce and Gaines were officially ruled out but I hadn't seen anything about Cooper lately. Sorry if this is part of another thread some where but I think he's the guy I'm most looking forward to watching on offense if he plays.

Ouch.

I have not seen him lately?

I would like to get his take on how we look at this point in time.

Like @cvramsfan commented in the pickem thread.. Who the hell picked the whiners to win tonight? !

  I'm wondering my damn self who are the guilty persons of such a crime?
  
  Was it you @-X-? was it @LACHAMP46? was it you @BonifayRam? was it @Tron? was it you @Mojo Ram? was it you @Roman Snow? was it @Ramatik? was it @Selassie I? was it you @Dodgersrf ? was it @flv?
  
  
  

It's Week One against the Niners! As always there are a few match-ups that I'm interested to see:

1.

This is the most interesting one to me. These two are going to come together more than once and it should be a great battle. Bowman is one of the best MLB in the league and lead the NFL in tackles a year ago. Gurley beat him hands down last year and I'm hoping to see the same. If the O-line can give Gurley enough creases it's going to be a long day for the 49ers.

2. Quinn vs Staley

Everyone knows who Joe Staley is at this point and he's still a damn good tackle. This one is very interesting because it's Quinn's first true test after coming back from injury. If he has returned to his old self I think he definitely wins this matchup. However, it may take some time for him to get back into the swing of things. I think both Staley and Quinn will have their moments. Perhaps more important than anything is if 94 can set the edge enough in the run game.

3. Donald vs. 49ers interior line

I've read a lot of articles saying that the Niners O-line is playing a lot better this year. Some are saying it might be a strength for their offense. Well that's going to get put to the test tonight. Donald is the best D-lineman in the NFL and he is a matchup problem against every single team. He needs to be consistently disruptive because Carlos Hyde is tough to handle when he has room to move. There isn't a whole lot Donald can vastly improve on but maintaining his gaps and being consistent in run defense needs to be his #1 priority.

What other match-ups are y'all going to be paying extra attention to tonight?

As all of us sit on the cusp of the first game of the season the one quandary that could gnaw at me all season is the Coty Sensabaugh signing and on every play that he comes up a day late and a dollar short am I going to just shake my head in great disdain?

As we look back when Janoris Jenkins passed on an offer and changed agents (which behooved him greatly) it was obvious the Rams had made a decision that they would keep Trumaine Johnson over Jenkins based on size and the ability to sign Johnson long term although now I am concerned about the viability of that plan as well, so after Jenkins signed his mega deal with the NY Giants the Rams had a need at Corner Back.

I thought they would take their time bring in several free agents and then sign the best one, however, in Jamie Duncan like fashion the Rams quickly came to terms with another former Titan (shocking) a corner back that did not exactly set the world on fire while he was there in Coty Sensabaugh.

Now Sensabaugh’s measurables seemed fine, 5’11 and a fast 40 time, however, when the Rams signed him many Tennessee Titan fans breathed a sigh of relieve and basically game him Craig Dahl like treatment and bided him a fond adieu. All of us remember the social media fan reaction, can’t cover one on one, the best evaluation I read from a fan was that Sensabaugh was miscast last season and was more of a slot corner.

I’m not a big fan of the word “slot.” IMO, if you can cover as a CB, you ought to be able to cover anywhere on the field, now granted Joyner is shorter as example, so the slot might be better for him, but Sensabaugh at 5’11 should be able to cover anywhere and not just the slot. So my feeling was to trust Gregg Williams who coached him in Tennessee and apparently got the most out of him combined with the return of E.J. Gaines I was not overly concerned because I had not seen Sensabaugh play.

Well, now I am concerned. Gaines coming off of Lisfranc injury has not been healthy at all and the season starts tonight. Rams gave Gaines some added time during OTA’s and Training Camp to get healthy and he had a hamstring injury and is now nursing a quad, so who knows if he’ll be healthy at all or to the point they can depend on him week in and week out.

Now, the Rams have Troy Hill, who showed me more in preseason then Sensabaugh albeit against less competition, but he seemed to be in better position than Sensabaugh, however, to this point does not seems like Hill will start, the Rams added another CB to the mix in Steve Williams, but again his best position? The damn slot!

In the end you want to trust the coaching staff and I do trust Gregg Williams and Jeff Fisher when it comes to defense, but like Lovie Smith did with Jamie Duncan years ago I fear the Rams got caught up in a player that would understand the system more than the ability to actually make the plays.

Now I hope I am wrong, I hope Sensabaugh plays tonight and we hardly notice then Gaines comes back week two and all is forgotten, but I can’t help but have trepidations and wonder if the Rams panicked after the Jenkins departure and signed the first guy that said yes to their offer?

Well maybe not the worst but it's up there, is having to stay up until 9:30 in the ****ing evening on a Monday to watch the first game of the season. Why do they even do that for any game? People have to work in the morning damnt.
