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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Recap: The Rams hang tough early, fall behind at halftime, begin making mistakes they can’t recover from and ultimately succumb to the Ravens, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Week 2 Monday Sep 19, 2011 16 28 Danario Alexander skies for a catch, then gets up and runs for more yardage. Photo by Tim Farrell/THE STAR-LEDGER. The St Louis Rams waited a long time to take the field on Monday night, and as they waited to re-present themselves on the national stage, three competing […]

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 […]
