Rams Fantasy Corner: Renewing the faith in your Rams fantasy plays?

Week one left us with a lot of questions about the Rams Fantasy viability. After getting off to a great start fantasy wise it took all of two plays for Steven Jackson owners to put fist-to-wall.  Little did fantasy owners know that this was only the first on many dominos to fall. Some due to […]

Chronicles of embarrassment: Ram Rules vs Ram It

I was knocked down on gameday when my football fever turned into an actual fever, so my upper bowl ticket turned into a planking on the couch when the Rams kicked off. And so, I missed when the Ram Rules were broadcast into the stadium. Now I know we Rams fans have been flagrantly guilty […]

There Are No Excuses In Football

The Rams had a lot of things going against them in week 1. First off they were hosting the Super Bowl contending, Vince Young anointed, Dream Team of the NFL. Secondly they were fielding a team that by all accounts and analysis was not.  As I wrote earlier this week, “Sunday matched-up a Super Bowl […]

Robert Quinn placed in bad company after week 1 benching

Has Robert Quinn paid his dues in full yet? Robert Quinn’s benching in week 1 remains an intriguing subplot in the Rams’ 31-13 loss to Michael Vick and the Eagles, as mystified fans wonder why. I’ve had friends who follow other teams who wanted Quinn on draft day ask me why he went M.I.A, and […]

Notes and Grades from PFF: Rams week 1

Brandon Gibson had one of the few positive plays of the day in the passing game, beating Nnamdi Asomugha. The folks at Pro Football Focus have taken a look at the Rams-Eagles matchup, and the grades are about what you’d expect — not a lot of positives anywhere on the board. However, there were some […]

Rams fantasy relevance, revisited

Lance Kendricks, wide open vs the Eagles as expected. The outcome? Unexpected. From all of us who touted Lance Kendricks as a week 1 starter, we apologize. The matchup looked good. Lance’s chemistry with Sam was percolating. All he had to do was catch the damn ball.  Kendricks was targeted 5 times, catching one. At […]

The Amendola Factor: how losing Sam’s security blanket could be a good thing

My first thought after seeing Amendola walk off the field, cradling his arm? “Oh god, we’re screwed.” Fortunately, the vultures circling around Danny Amendola appear to be backing off. At first, we heard “dislocated elbow” and I thought damn, that’s a 6-week injury at least. Then, John Clayton started reporting it as a “broken shoulder,” […]

Rams vs. Eagles: Big Plays & Big Decisions

After months of lawyering about with no football fans were desperate for anything. Along came preseason and temporarily quenched that thirst. As it lingered on so did the thirst.  The longing for meaningful games grew and grew. As welcomed as preseason action was, the games after a quarter or so lacked any meaning. As such, […]

Rams Report: A perfect storm of suck against the Eagles.

No part of the Rams passing game looked good on Sunday. Including the pass blocking. The self proclaimed “Dream Team” came to St. Louis on Sunday and did their best to live up to the hype.  They outplayed the Rams in every fashion of the game and left with a 31-13 beatdown. After a great […]

Rams Grades: Week One

To put it mildly, the Rams performance in the first game of the 2011 season was horrible. It seemed that every part of the team was consistently schooled by the “dream team” Eagles, leaving more questions than answers if St. Louis is actually ready to become a playoff contender. Here are the team grades for […]

Rams-Eagles pregame warmup: Playing “what if” with Michael Vick

Take away the team colors. Now imagine clothing Michael Vick in Rams blue and gold. It could have happened. And it would have been a disaster. “I didn’t want to come to Philadelphia. “Being the third-team quarterback is nothing to smile about. Cincinnati and Buffalo were better options.” Those two teams wanted him and would’ve […]

Eagles vs Rams: 3 Things to Watch For

Opening day is finally here! In Week 1, the St. Louis Rams face off in a home match-up with the Philadelphia Eagles. While the Rams are coming off what can be seen as a successful year compared with past years, and are looking to make a name for themselves, the Philadelphia Eagles aka the “Dream […]

Rams Fantasy Corner: Sit-Start decision on Lance Kendricks vs Eagles

Last minute decisions can often make the difference in Fantasy Football. This is especially true going into week one. who do you start, who do you sit…who do you take a chance on. With only preseason to base this decision on, rookies are often left out of the mix.To make this decision blindly for all […]
