Yeah Oakland is great.

you fucking suck, your self esteem blows
but i'm still rooting for you


NFC west was 30-10 vs non divisional opponents, have 3 of the top 6 ranked defenses in nfl, rams may only be a top 14 defense but they racked up 53 sacks again this year, 3rd in the league, they have the best defensive line in football, their back up ends would be starters on more than half the league
they have 3 out of the first 61 draft picks and they'll probably trade their 2nd overall for another bonus first rounder in '15
only atl/tb had more difficult schedules in the league(rams played both), believe they were most difficult in '12 and had a better season, kind of

ideally would like to see them pick up 12-20 overall pick(maybe cowboys trade up for QB, sounds about jerry jones to me), for this years/future #1 and this years 2nd and 4th rd picks...fisher historically crushes late in the draft, this year it was zac stacy (5th rd)
my dream is to draft DT ra'shede hageman with one of their first rd picks, just because he's going to be the first gopher defensive player drafted since i've been gophing...current starting DT kendall langford is serviceable but the drooling over ideal of having DL on quinn/brockers/hageman/long(or better yet, cut long, william hayes is better and costs about 85% less money...could have made 12mil+ last off season but resigned with STL for 2 years and like 4 mil, dude loves coach fisher)

nobody is in a better position to build a power house than STL, and when 'it' kicks in the niners will be getting old and sea will be losing lots of players in FA...cardinals scare me the most, long term
i kind of hope rams don't draft well, it will interfer with being able to resign robert quinn after next season, if decon jones and reggie white had a gay baby, he would almost be as good as quinn, who can make mario williams money if he chooses, although wasn't drafted by fisher(holy shit steve spags did something good!) i think he stays for contract around 4yrs/55mil

alec ogletree led team in tackles and had 6th forced fumbles, and most of them were indeed forced(stripped) almost as many as quinns 7
he went to UGA to play safety, but is too much of an athletic monster not to play OLB

tavon austin had a great 2nd half, can he stay healthy? even if he does i don't think he's going to be some HoF WR, but love having a little stick of dynamite who's good for clutch big plays at any given moment...fellow ram's rookie WR/ex-team mate at WVU stedman bailey is going to have a better career

rookie zac stacy only made 12 starts and had just one carry after 4 games, yet came just short of 1000 yards, with an okay OL and dogshit passing game, among several other factors, it's shit like this that will allow bradford to take care of business, he might not be a top 10 qb talent, but he's an upper 50% and good enough

SS TJ mcdonald, son of merten hanks' partner in crime, tim mcdonald in SF in the 90s, is somewhat of a question mark, he's physical as hell but coverage skills need further assessment
OG barrett jones(alabama) didn't touch the field, i think that was the plan, expect to see him starting next year and pancaking bitches like he did at alabama...a lot

rookie nickelback brandon mcgee didn't show much, but 3,4 tells me good things, if serviceable vet cortland finnegan is cut in the offseason, i'll be optimistic, hopefully not finny can just return to '12 form

2nd year players:
starting CBs janoris jenkins and trumaine johnson look great, WRs brian quick/chris givens(sophmore slump big time, needs bradford for the long ball) are question marks, quick has more potential as a star and a bust, '12 14th overall pick out of LSU michael brokers is already one of the best in the league

if STL was in the afc north, south or nfc east, north...there's no doubt in my mind they would have went 11-5 this season and have been 3 seed'd

not ruling out another 7-9 season next year, if it happens fisher will likely be out the door and rams will be the most desired HC gig since harbaugh left for SF, some lucky, medicore dude will become instant legend

oh and afc had 3 play off teams and i am an east coaster

i know you're trolling, but find me a team whose got stock more erect than STL?

without the rams existence, pat's fans lose the best chapters of their lives

the beating 14 point favorite STL in SBXXVI, that fucking chapter, which i took pretty fucking well for a freshman in HS who still didn't have any hair on his ballz
 
this thread is for talking about this season. your team finished in last place in their division.

you can brag about how great they are in the 2015/2016 thread, if and when it happens...

:)

i'm not going to brag when they get good, and it's not possible to brag about the future, one can only fucking power speculate
and when they do win the west - that's when i lose interest

they're never going to be taken seriously unless back to back superbowls, at best they'll be perceived like the modern day bengals or become ATL falcon's rich

jerry jones has the right formula, 8-8 all day everyday

I think mike greeny (sp?) said it best earlier in the season. If the patriots win the Super Bowl, he said he would admit Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time.

I think I would concur, because like you said Ali, their injuries coupled with the fact he has no one to throw the ball to like Peyton does. It would be biblical imo.

Hmmmm, interesting. I dont know, in Brady's "Peyton" year they lost to the Giants in the SB after going undefeated and he had plenty of targets. I guess the argument can be made that he is even better without top receivers because it requires him to be a better leader on the field. It would give him 4 SB wins, right? That is right up there with Montana and, sorry, Bradshaw for most SB QB wins.
 
Yeah and Montana was Brady's idol growing up so 4 would be pretty special to him.

I think you're probably right about the leadership thing, although I will say that no matter how potent your offense is, if your defense can't stop the other team from scoring more that you do, you lose the game.

I think that showed in both NE Super Bowl losses to the giants.

And to an extent it showed this season with Denver. Look at the cowboys game.....Denver had to score almost 60 points to beat them.

Hate to say it but if San Diego plays the rest of their games like they did against Denver (in Denver) and against Indy ( in San Diego) they have a very good shot at the Super Bowl. They had the perfect formula for winning in both games: time of possession, score touchdowns when in the redzone, play great defense.
 
Wow sarcastic actually realizing we play up to competition, let's not forget we are running the ball hard now. We got Ingram back. Allen is a future hof rookie, new coach, Ken whiz, and we have destiny on our side

but Denver is pissed, so I say 50/50 with a slight edge to Denver for being at home


I'm rewatching the Bengal game right now and we are playing smart football


should be a shootout
 
p.s. if sd wins - or even gets to the superbowl - will you promise to take back your lame comments about how it's all fixed so denver or new england can win?

how can anyone be a Phillip Rivers fan, who is not a San Diego fan?

he's got that "I'm a Southern hillbilly douche bag" persona down

He reminds me of that kid that took gym class way too seriously. Would wear their gym shorts high since they were so focused on winning that they didn't care what they looked like. Little interest in girls since they just get in the way of things. Cigarette? Fuck you.
