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 […]

Big Decisions & Big Plays: Rams vs Redskins

Dropped passes (six more) , costly penalties (nine of ‘em) and the inability to get 7 in the Red Zone…stop me if you have heard this before.  The Rams nearly came back but continue to be plagued by self-inflicted mistakes. WR Mike Sims-Walker had three drops and TE Lance Kendricks made sure he was included […]

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?” […]

Rams Grades: Week Four

The Rams continued their run of ineptitude against the Redskins Sunday, looking outmatched in every facet of the game. They don’t appear concerned or passionate that they are the biggest joke in the National Football league and there isn’t much hope from the first four weeks to show they will turn it around. Dropped balls, […]

Rams Fantasy Corner: Risk & Reward: Rams wide receivers

The Rams have been anything but prolific on offense this season. Especially in the Red Zone where it matters most for fantasy targets. At first glance the Rams crop of wide receivers has the makings of WR2 and even WR1 potential. Offensive system in place that plays to their strengths. Check. Pedigreed offensive coordinator with […]

Rams Fantasy Corner: The Steven Jackson dilemma

Week by week fantasy values drops further and further, much like any number of Sam Bradford’s passes. But surely Steven Jackson could escape the pull of the growing black hole that has become the Rams fantasy relevancy. Right? Steven Jackson was adamant this preseason. He was the exception to the rule and fate NFL running […]

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 […]

Time for Apologies Has Passed, Now is The Time for Answers

No the season is not over, and no the season is not a lost cause. However the time to worry is here and more importantly the time for apologies is over. I am hearing a lot of talk about “it’s only 3 games” and “it’s a long season” and “there is a lot of football […]

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, […]

Reevaluating our relationship with Sam Bradford

My relationship with Sam Bradford is at a crossroads.  In the beginning, I wore my number eight jersey with pride, symbolic of this player who I truly and irrationally believed would immediately exorcise the hollow memories of the Greatest Show on Turf that echo through the Edward Jones Dome. The Rams fan base lived through […]

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

Few expect St Louis to win, but expect them to take their shot. The script for this weekend’s game between the St. Louis Rams and the Baltimore Ravens has already been written. Recap: The Rams hang tough early, fall behind at halftime, begin making mistakes they can’t recover from and ultimately succumb to the Ravens, […]
