i just want the rams to be nationally respected again

that's all i ask

they lost, i'm already over it

next 5 games:

balt, wash, @ gb, @ dal, NO
 
dude, have no fear. this might not be the Rams year to shine (especially since they got a couple detrimental injuries)... however, I firmly believe that next season your St. Louis Rams will be the Detroit Tigers. meaning, they will be quite the break-out team. actually, I still think that the Rams will win the NFC West, and the sad thing is they can most likely win it with their same 7-9 record as last season. let's face it, the Seahawks look like a mediocre Pac-12 team and I don't think Kevin Kolb is going to be all that Arizona fans wish he could be

but, I think that Sam Bradford looks damn good at QB, despite his eyes being just a little bit too far apart. the Rams only lost tonight on Monday Night Football because they had a bunch of debilitating miscues, and his WRs seemed to be dropping difficult-yet-catchable passes from up and down the field. I'm calling that Sam Bradford will be an elite QB in no time

STL's D does look great. it was nice to Ohio State product James Laurenitis all over the field. I had doubts about him in the pros, despite his stellar college career at tOSU. I thought he might be a little bit too small, but he looks like he filled out nice and damn is he ever fast and hard-hitting!

LOL @ Methadone! WTF was that NY WR thinking? was he trying to chuck it into the stands, or does he perhaps have a vendetta against that inside-arena spectator??
 
So how about Cam Newton.... putting up video game numbers against Green Bay with no running game to speak of and its not like it was garbage time either. This is shaping up to be one legendary rookie season for him. Looking forward at the Panthers schedule I could definitely see alot of their games being shootouts with the high power offenses they are facing and the weak Carolina D. Possible top 5 QB numbers as a rookie is unheard of, but he keeps this up he is well on his way.
 
he most likely will be something special in the future... however, Cam Newton just needs to win a single game before I taking him ultimately serious. with today's defenseless NFL product, it is a bit easier to throw for 400ish yards... even as a rookie. I am in no way trying to discount him, because obviously he has some prime time stats at his beck-and-call. he just needs a win. one win

great points

their hurry up offense was balls to the wall too ,loved it, those bullshit fake injuries more than likely cost the rams a td

my fear is just them mirroring what the houston texans have done over the past 4 years or so -high hopes every year, finish in 7th place...this has to be kubiak's last chance
 
well China Rider, you yourself as apparently a big-time fan of the St. Louis Rams are very lucky in the fact that your team competes in the NFC West. no offense or anything, but that conference has been extremely lacking (to say the least) for the past 5 years. that means your Rams can go .500 and still be competing for an NFC Playoff spot. just like last year when they missed the playoffs by the skin on their teeth with what? a 7-9 record?

for some reason, I do see a lot of parallels with how Houston has been cursed the last handful of seasons concerning the playoffs, and the possibly future of the Rams in the playoffs. hopefully it doesn't quite work out that way for your team. but really, a big x-factor in Houston's (maybe former) playoff woes was having to go up against Peyton Manning's Colts twice a season. the Rams don't really have a divisional rival of that caliber
 
I'm really impressed with Cam Newton so far. I was one talking about what a horrible pick he was, but he's doing damn well already. I think they are catering to him a good bit with the style of offense, but I don't see a problem with that. Look at how well Vick's done.
 
Giants fake injuries against Rams no huddle offense

What a bunch of no integrity pussies. IMO the league should make a new rule that says if a player goes down and delays playing time, they are not allowed to play again until there is a change of possession. Such bullshit that coaches actually teach and obviously have signals to call for this kind of stuff.

Yea, I just had a look at their rushing yards (or lack there of) and he will probably come close to the record. I am sure that they don't mind him slinging the ball like he is, since the fans at least have something to watch for a change.

I was watching the highlights on mute, as was wondering wtf was going on when I saw them both drop like that. If they are allowed an injury timeout, then you really can't blame them. It is something that will need to be addressed though.
 
I'm sure the NFL gives no shits about it because they can then cut to yet another commercial, and make money
 
Tomorrow I will find out whether my Dolphins will be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes this year.


I'm ambivalent.
 
^ "Suck for luck" is definitely a viable long term strategy this year.
