Coach Spags has tunnel vision… one game at a time, kids. We are midway through December, the smell of fresh cut trees is in the air, and somehow we’re still talking about the Rams’ very real possibility of winning the division. Can I get a hallelujah?  With three games left on the schedule, there is […]

Adrian Wilson took it as his personal mission to “welcome” Sam Bradford to the NFL in week one. He had a superhuman game against the Rams, flying all over the field with abandon and ferocity, adding to his reputation as a Ram Killer. He accounted for Sam Bradford’s first career interception, and grabbed a second […]

ESPN’s Week 13 Power Rankings are out, and the Rams have climbed to dizzying heights — 18th overall, as high as they’ve ranked since the fall from their Martzian peak. Interestingly enough, if we compare this year’s climb to the muddle of the 2006 team that finished a disappointing 8-8, they have reached a similar […]

I have a brief window of time in my Thanksgiving weekend driving schedule — two days down to Florida, three days with family, two days back — to write a quick game preview for this Sunday’s tilt in Denver. Perhaps my sacrifice of nearly 3,000 tire miles to the gods of travel will earn a […]

The Rams face off against their superpowered alter-ego this week, the NFL team whose roster and philosophy most closely resemble what Billy Devaney and Steve Spagnuolo are trying to build in St Louis — the AFC South leading Atlanta Falcons. The question is, after years of beating themselves, can these new and improved Rams beat […]

Like most of the football world, I stand in awe of what Michael Vick did last night to the Washington Redskins, mercilessly torching their secondary and slashing through the line, putting up Tecmo Bowl numbers: 6 touchdowns on more than 400 yards combined rushing and passing, with no interceptions, no fumbles, and only 8 of […]

I feel a flashback to freshman year in college coming on… Honestly, I had plans to work hard all week on this assignment, really I did. First matchup of the second half, first of four crucial divisional games that will decide the Rams’ playoff fates, it’s a big deal, you don’t have to tell me […]

Week 9: Rams Bye Week Twice already this season, a team in the NFC West has gone into the bye in second place, and come out of the bye in first. Seattle was the first team to pull off that trick, helped out by the Rams’ gut-wrenching last-minute loss in Tampa. But lady karma, they […]
