Steve Spagnuolo walks the Rams sideline for the last time. Ultimately, the particulars of this game will matter far less than this: @mortreport Rams will fire coach Steve Spagnuolo and GM Billy Devaney, per team source. The first hatchet to fall in post-game action fell just hours after the St Louis Rams had finished adding […]

The big news of the game: Ben Roethlisberger will not play, despite the fact that the Steelers’ playoff positioning could still swing dramatically in the season’s last two weeks. Analysis: don’t worry, they’re playing the Rams. Kellen Clemens and the Rams will be leaving the comfort of the dome for punishing 34 degree temperatures and […]

Justin Blackmon may not be a Julio Jones, but he could have a Julio Jones-type impact as a rookie for the Rams next year. For those of you looking ahead, Matt Miller and Andrew Kulha of Bleacher Report and the 4th And Long NFL draft podcast devoted a special edition of their show to the […]

Kellen Clemens showed nice mobility, and the ability to get up from a series of big hits. Necessary qualities for a Rams QB. The Kellen Clemens era began for the St Louis Rams on Sunday, and unfortunately for Rams fans, it followed pretty much the same script as the rest of this dysfunctional season. Start […]

The St. Louis Rams will be donning their throwback uniforms in tribute to Marshall Faulk, and contemplating a quest familiar to the beginning of his days here: taking an unknown quarterback into battle against a superior foe. To me, the linchpin of the Rams success in those years wasn’t Kurt Warner, though he was obviously […]

Despite their team’s record and the winter chill, the St Louis Rams are going to do their best to bring the love back into the Dome this weekend. It’s Marshall Faulk’s Hall of Fame enshrinement celebration, and the Rams will be decked out in their throwback blue and gold for the occasion. During the Greatest […]

Would keeping a “loser” actually help change the “losing culture” at Rams Park? There’s no doubting that the St Louis Rams have taken a disastrous step backwards in Coach Spagnuolo’s third year. How can we possibly build an argument to keep him? Bear with me while I explore some thoughts. Wednesday, on his radio show, […]

Aaron_Nagler If (probably when) the Rams fire Spagnuolo, they will be making a huge mistake. Whoa. Bold words, but let’s get some perspective here. There was a young guy in his first head coaching position, suffering through a dismal third season after having seemingly turned a corner with his team in year two. His […]

There hasn’t been much happy reading as regards the St Louis Rams’ offensive line, unless you’re in the shockingly lucrative business of sports rehab. (Growth opportunities abound in St Louis!) But today, buried in the nuggets of Pro Football Focus’ analysis of last night’s Rams-Seahawks game, there was this: – Harvey Dahl of the Rams […]

Yes, I would like some product placement with my weekly dose of shame and misery, thank you. First of all, before I get to the gory details, I have to apologize to anyone on Twitter who was around when I said

TV watchers, Rams fans, you thought last week was bad? This game is going to suck. Big time. Even if Sam Bradford starts behind a completely rehashed offensive line, we’re only a missed block and a few ankle ligaments away from the Kellen Clemens era. And we’re in Seattle, where their stadium full of longshoremen […]

This morning, Ryan from TurfShowTimes picked up on a thread of conversation linking Josh McDaniels to the Kansas City Chiefs. There’s a good chance, say those with their ears to the walls, that McD will be heading that way in some capacity when the offseason makeover begins on the far side of the state. We […]

The season has entered its fourth down. It’s time to punt. Let’s plant a marker down here, shall we? Twelve weeks in, Sam Bradford’s ankle (read: his offensive line) is apparently too tetchy for him to continue the season, and AJ Feeley just reached his expiration date. So it’s Tom Brandstater time, or so it […]

In lieu of a game photo, here’s a picture of a sad clown. Pretty much the same thing. There’s really nothing to say about today’s game against San Francisco. The Rams showed up with two starters on the offensive line worth a damn, and one of them was hurt. Sam Bradford gimped around on the […]

If 2011 was his job interview, Billy Devaney is in big trouble. For most of his tenure in St Louis, the most maddening part of watching Rams GM Billy Devaney go about his business was his patience. As we sat in our virtual war rooms and howled for Devaney to sign this player or that, […]
