As the Chiefs begin to plummet into obscurity, Dwayne Bowe wants out. Again. The talented receiver is the only weapon in the Kansas City passing game, but with only a one-year deal in his pocket and a crashing tide of changes due to hit his team, he may no longer be a part of their […]

The St Louis Rams will play host to a sell-out crowd of football-crazed fans in a couple of weeks, but this "home" game will be six time zones away. While I have my reservations about the NFL's expansion across the pond, there is no doubt that there are folks over there who love our game. […]

It's hard to blame the gameplan when you out-gain your opponent by nearly 200 yards. It's hard to blame the defense when they utterly shut down the biggest threats in the Dolphins offense. It's hard to blame the refs when they gift-wrap two huge calls for you, taking fumbles off the board. It's hard to […]

That person is Sara Dayley, a woman with many titles and responsibilities. Some readers may already know Sara from her job with Today in […]

The Miami Dolphins have been searching for an identity for more than a decade, ever since the departures of Don Shula, Dan Marino, and the high-octane weaponry in their downfield passing game. Since those days, there has been an endless parade of mediocrity at coach and quarterback. In an effort to halt the parade, the […]

Before the season started, I had this Rams team pegged for a 5-11 season. Mild improvement, based on a stronger showing at home (check), but nothing earth-shattering. I figured it would be too soon for all the offensive pieces to come together, especially given a threadbare offensive line, and was ready for a "wait 'til […]

The St. Louis Rams' and the NFC West's return to primetime relevance had more than its share of ugly moments. Particularly as our offense coughed and wheezed through a twenty-minute stretch of the game clock where they gained a mere 35 yards on seven consecutive drives, and our defense became magnets for an inexplicable shower […]

The Arizona Cardinals – check that, THE FOUR-AND-OH ARIZONA CARDINALS – have been the biggest surprise in the NFL season so far, and a major factor that sees the NFC West leading the league in wins at the quarter pole. But now they prepare to take on an improved Rams team that is undefeated in […]

Photo by Chantal Overton (@OhhMyOnlineNet). One quarter of the way through the 2012 season, the Rams are already ahead of schedule. We were supposed to be the young team that learned how to fight, but would have a hard time closing games and putting wins in the standings. We were supposed to be in the […]

If you line up all the Rams' wins at the end of the season and held a beauty pageant, this 19-13 grunter over the Seattle Seahawks would rank dead last. But in the standings, all wins look beautiful. With a 2-0 record at home, and a 1-0 mark in the division, Jeff Fisher and his […]

Bernie Miklasz posted a good read on Brian Quick in the St Louis Post-Dispatch, saying that the Rams were too quick (pun intended) to name him "the next Terrell Owens." To date, Quick has earned a total of six snaps on offense, per Pro Football Focus, and was inactive for Week 3's game against Chicago. […]
