Unsolved mysteries: How do you score only 3 points on 22 first downs?

I feel you, Josh Brown. I can’t figure it out either. Let’s pretend for argument’s sake that I just crawled out from under a rock, having seen not a minute of the game. Let’s say that I didn’t get on the Twitters for more than a minute or two, and missed all accounts of the […]

Rams Roundtable: Saying no to Brandon Lloyd?

The Denver Broncos appear to be ready to say goodbye to Brandon Lloyd, the budding deep threat who suddenly blossomed into the league’s leading receiver under Josh McDaniels last season. Reportedly, Denver’s price tag is “a 3rd to a 5th-round draft pick,” a bargain price for a player who bettered 1400 yards and hauled in […]

Weekend Planner: Team up for a trip to Hawaii

If you believe in Rally Squirrels, or you believe in the “Any Given Sunday” possibility that the Rams might beat the Packers, then why not take a chance on yourself and your friends this weekend?  On Saturday October 15th, teams of four will be competing in the Bud Light Fan Camp out at Rams Park […]

Salvaging the Rams 2011 Season: A three-step plan for the next 12 games

Another week, another big loss. You know it’s bad when even the bye week is beating you, but there’s no other way to put it when you get in only two practices (thank you “player safety” rules in the new CBA) still manage to lose your top cornerback and your #1 receiver for the year. […]

Double Whammy: Danny Amendola and Bradley Fletcher out for the year.

Bradley Fletcher done for the year with an ACL tear suffered in practice. Honestly, this is starting to get difficult. A season that began with such promise is now shrouded in the black of mourning. Conversations among Rams fans turn to the once-taboo subject of a top-five pick. The brash will even bring up Andrew […]

Rams vs Redskins: Notes and Analysis from Pro Football Focus

It isn’t news that the St Louis Rams struggled as a whole in their Week 4 game against the Redskins. But the work of folks like Pro Football Focus to break down film and grade performance on a play by play basis helps us understand where the breakdowns are happening, how the team is trending, […]

Spagnuolo to the Rams: Stay the Course, Men!

Coach Spagnuolo had this message in his Monday press conference: “We’re not going to abandon what we’re doing.” This is either an incredible sign of faith in the mission, the plan, his men and their abilities that will be rewarded with an incredible turnaround, or it will be the epitaph inscribed on the headstone of […]

Three words for fans of the Rammies: Hang in there, baby!

Whoo boy, Jeanketeers, was Hubby Rick mad yesterday! I was spending my Sunday afternoon on our old sofa, forgetting about my worries with the sure-fire pick me up of a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, a few warm kitties, and bargain-hunting on Craigslist. If you’re a shopaholic like me, you can’t beat the internet for great […]

Recap: Redskins 17 – Rams 10. If You Want Blood…

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0UPw4f1oN7g “It’s Criminal. There ought to be a law. Criminal. There ought to be a whole lot more.” There are lots of valid questions after this awful loss to the Washington Redskins. “How did the Rams manage to lose this game?” or “How can the Rams keep making the same damn mistakes week after week?” […]

Cornered: How Lardarius Webb changed the shape of the Rams’ passing game

Infographic: The Rams’ target distribution in Week 3. It isn’t any prettier than the game was. When we talked about the shape of the Rams offense to come under Josh McDaniels, we didn’t expect this. For all the talk about “stressing the defense,” the Rams’ passing game thrust itself into a corner against the Baltimore […]

What’s next for the St Louis Rams? Key indicators that must turn around

Ray Rice averaged 12.5 yards per touch, with the Rams’ defensive gameplan focused on stopping him. Imagine if they hadn’t… I confess that I have not gone back and looked at the game tape from Sunday’s massacre at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. Given the improved talent level of this team, and the strides […]

Expectations for the 2011 Rams season dissipate

Sam Bradford and the rest of us were crushed on Sunday. Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images Our season prediction for the Rams had them at 1-2 at this point in the season, just a game better than 0-3 in the black and white, wins and losses. But they were supposed to be three hard-fought games, […]

Recap: Ravens run roughshod over the Rams, 37-7

Remember our pregame script for this game? “The St Louis Rams hang tough early, fall behind at halftime, begin making mistakes they can’t recover from and ultimately succumb to the Baltimore Ravens”  That all happened in the first quarter. Except for the “hanging tough” part.  This was a loss that Steve Spagnuolo and the Rams […]

Previewing Rams-Ravens: Factors in a Possible Upset

Recap: The Rams hang tough early, fall behind at halftime, begin making mistakes they can’t recover from and ultimately succumb to the Ravens, […]
