The St. Louis Rams look to rebound from a poor Monday Night Football showing in their week 3 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens coming to town. The Ravens are also coming off of a week 2 loss, succumbing to the Tennessee Titans. The Rams hope to have better results after beating themselves with bad penalties […]

Stopping this man might be game keys 1, 2, and 3 for the St Louis Rams. As the 0-2 St Louis Rams gear up for this weekend’s matchup with the 1-1 Baltimore Ravens, most Rams fans are picturing the relative historic trajectories of these two teams and asking themselves, “Do we have a chance in […]

Danario Alexander rapidly became Sam Bradford’s favorite red zone target on Monday night. Imaging if he’d played more than 16 snaps. So far, the 2011 Rams have been defined by the letter “W”. A “W” that stands for “waste”, not “wins”. They have wasted field position, red zone opportunities and catchable passes but they are […]

This chart shows where receivers were standing when Bradford’s passes arrived, and how many were completed by zone. Sam Bradford’s passing day in Week 2 was equal parts thrilling and maddening – he set a new personal best in yardage, but fell below the 50% completion rate for the first time as a pro. He […]

The Pro Football Focus crew has reviewed the game tape, and offered their take on the St Louis Rams’ individual performances in Monday Night’s loss to the New York Giants. There were several bright spots mixed in with the expected negative scores, and a […]

Dominique Hixon gets credit for the catch. Craig Dahl gets the blame for the coverage. I always hate to lose. But, I hate it the most when you outplay the other team. You know the game when you beat not just your opponent but yourself. Monday Night’s 28-16 loss was a tough one to watch. […]

To begin let me share the statistic that 22 of the 177 teams that have started a season 0-2 have made the playoffs. It is not out of the realm of possibilities but the math leads us to believe making it to the post season is easier when you are 1-1. For the Rams to […]

Good morning. Hope you don’t mind a few random thoughts while we pick ourselves up off the turf. This loss is frustrating on so many levels, but it beats the truly sad losses of two or three seasons ago. The scoreboard indicates a blowout, but the Rams badly outplayed the Giants in most categories of […]

We’re two hours before kickoff, and one crucial matchup has already been determined: Steven Jackson vs his conditioning test. After failing to “look fluid” in a 40-yard dash, as Bernie Miklasz put it, the Rams’ workhorse has been stabled. (Cadillac Williams owners in fantasy all take a deep breath of relief.) With that out of […]

Steven Jackson returned from the “doubtful” list against the Seahawks in 2010. Is there any way he doesn’t play tonight? Yesterday’s bloodsport between Atlanta and Philadelphia capped a full day of NFL gameday viewing. Jeremy Maclin, Matt Ryan and Michael Vick took hit after brutal hit. They had their bodies mashed, scissored and spindled, getting […]

The Rams make their first return to Monday Night Football since 2006 in their week 2 matchup with the New York Giants. Both teams are coming off of week 1 losses, and are dealing with a plethora of injuries. The Rams are looking to rebound off of a loss at the hands of the Philadelphia […]

Fans want some new tricks from the Giants’ old dog, Kevin Gilbride. For our second pre-game Q&A of the week, we tap on the shoulder of an old comrade from RamsHerd’s Fanball days, Dan Stack. Dan wrote for the inimitable GMenDen.com, and is now working at GiantsFootballBlog.com. Dan was kind enough to give us another […]

One particular match-up I imagine the Rams will try to exploit is Lance Kendricks working on the Giants linebackers and safeties. This is a similar game plan to the one they had against the Eagles. Perhaps if Kendricks does not drop two of the balls thrown his way, that plan would have been a little […]

Eli Manning had few problems with the Rams pass rush in 2008. This year may be different. Is is Monday Night yet? This week’s MNF matchup between the St Louis Rams and New York Giants on ESPN has that “big game” feeling already, and the weekend hasn’t even started yet. Maybe it’s because we have […]

This game is big for Sam Bradford. Yes, every game is big, and this game is important for the whole Rams team. After a week one loss that turned ugly late, they need to come back with a strong effort and find a way to put a W in the standings. They’ll need a couple […]
