VanRam at TurfShowTimes made a really insightful observation, about how much the Rams’ run defense might be missing Will Witherspoon. The Rams traded Witherspoon after week six, and have now played five games without him at OLB. When the move was made, lots of people, myself included, saw the long-term benefits of the move and […]

I had a chance last night to go back and review the first half of the Rams-Seahawks game, watching it for the first time after suffering through the local blackout. It doesn’t get any prettier in the rewatching, but it’s worth noting that the game didn’t slip away immediately. It was lost one fingertip at […]

It’s tempting to say that every single thing went wrong with this awful game against the Seahawks. After all the Rams couldn’t stop the run at all, couldn’t keep a relatively meek pass rush from destroying Kyle Boller’s pocket presence, couldn’t finish drives, and couldn’t get the fans into this game. They lost a blowout […]

This game matters only for pride. But that’s not to say it doesn’t matter. It’s not to say that we excuse the Rams, Boller, Null or Danny Amendola at quarterback, for laying down this game. For laying up for a high draft pick. After consecutive blowout losses, Jim Mora has been urging Hasselbeck and the […]

Recapping “To Go or Not to Go, Part 1:” Facing fourth-and-goal from the two, still down 21-3 late in the third period, Coach Spagnuolo was likely looking at the past events in the game — a failed fourth-and-1 in the first half, and three stuffed runs by Jackson on the current drive — and not […]

The answer: Tibial Plateau Fractures. Marc Bulger has one, according to these tweets:

Two games into his debut, and we're in love with Brandon Gibson. He is a tough, physical player who attacks defensive backs on his routes. He plays with an edge, but has the soft hands to bring in balls from a variety of angles, and the stop-and-go moves to make something happen after the catch […]

There were a bunch of head-scratching plays and calls in today’s catastrophe against the Cardinals, a game that went from a sure blowout to a game that the Rams very likely should have won. We had all the advantages in the second half, including a home crowd that was still around, still looking for something […]

As we gear up for Thanksgiving week, it seems appropriate for the Rams to dip back into the dysfunctional family known as the NFC West. Currently sitting at the head of the table, sharpening their carving knives, are these Arizona Cardinals. While the Rams, after being outscored 63-0 in their two conference contests so far, […]

One team came to the Edward Jones Dome with a +129 points differential, the other with a -144. This was, on paper, a matchup of one of the very best and very worst teams in the NFL, a game that should have been over at halftime. And the short story was that the better team […]

I know this is a little late arriving, but I’m watching the Rams at halftime, tied 14-all with the mighty New Orleans Saints, and thought it was worth revisiting the RamsHerd preseason prediction for this game: Week 10: The Jim Haslett Memorial Bowl Week Date Opponent LY: Record LY: Points 3Y: Record 3Y: Points 10 […]

This week’s Q&A across FanBall lines, to Mark at Who Dat Blog, sounds like it could have been scripted for a WWE Monday Night Raw telecast. The 8-0 Saints look down on the 1-7 Rams about the same way that the oiled-up Ric Flair might look down on one of those 225-pound nobodies in blue […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=o4ddpFDC63Y After 17 losses in a row, the Rams have now not lost in two consecutive weeks. Hey, by our standards, that’s a winning streak. Ride the wave, Rammies! Unfortunately, the optimism could come to a crashing halt, as our boys face up against the brilliant New Orleans Saints, who even when they seem to […]

Okay. Let’s start with what we know. The Rams’ wide receivers are among the least productive in the game. They have scored two touchdowns: one by the now-rehabbing Laurent Robinson, the other came with a little dance audition by Donnie Avery at the tail end of a blowout. With the game against Detroit on the […]
