    Rams get number 1 pick!

    Schefter is reporting it was made for Goff. Guess we have to wait and see on draft day.

    Rams get number 1 pick!

    Not overpaying for Janoris Jenkins. Letting Long and Laurinitis walk as they enter their decline, getting rid of Cook, draft Aaron Donald, drafting Gurley, tagging Trumaine, drafting EJ Gaines in round 6, Hekker, Tavon. How does all of that add up to being stupid? I'll throw in that they...

    Rams get number 1 pick!

    I don't get why you think it is so dumb. Look at Schneiders last few drafts. They weren't all that great. He had some clunkers in there. There is no guarantee on any picks. The only guarantee is that if you don't have a good QB then you have to get one and a good QB is worth more than what the...

    Rams get number 1 pick!

    Is it really that big of a deal? The worst of it will be over by round 1 of next year. They did most of the trade with this years picks which is what I wanted all along. The first rounder next year hurts a little bit but not that much. The Hawks traded a first for Percy Harvin and it didn't...

    Rams get number 1 pick!

    This is the problem which one to take. Goff has shown the ability to handle the pass rush and make good decisions under duress. Wentz on the other hand has prototypical size and athleticism and has run an offense that is very similar to what the Rams have. Plus he has the bigger arm. I...

    Rams get number 1 pick!

    Exactly. They had to do it IMO. The window of opportunity can close very quickly. The Rams Defense is good enough, the Oline looked like it could be good. The Running game is there. QB and WR are the last big pieces. If they don't get a good QB in the next three or four years then who knows...

    A Win That Wins No Respect - great read!

    As the media goes. I barely listen to them anymore. There certainly seems like there is a hatred for the Rams from Chris Berman. Even when the Rams were winning that show was criticizing them. They were always laughing at Martz. Berman is a 49er Homer all the way and he doesn't hide it. I...

    A Win That Wins No Respect - great read!

    If Cam were there. blah blah blah. The Rams fans can say, if Tre Mason were there, Pead never gets to fumble that ball, and Cunningham would have gotten fewer carries and Mason would have had longer runs. The if game is silly. Coaches and GMs make decisions. Similar to making decisions in the...

    What a Game! (For those who appreciate football)

    I agree. When your team is at the top fans are quick to forget how much it sucks to have them at the bottom. Every week I used to say I just want a close entertaining game. Losses are to be expected. But close losses are still good games. Blowouts are miserable.

    Carroll: Onside kick wasn't called, ball was miss-hit

    One report said Pete Carroll wanted a pooch because he wanted to keep the ball out of Tavon Austin's hands. Austin has not returned kicks for the Rams in two years. The ref tried to penalize the Rams because Marquez signaled a fair catch when the ball supposedly already touched the ground...

    What a Game! (For those who appreciate football)

    Two years in a row deep into the playoffs takes a toll. That is time where other teams are starting to recover. The Seahawks should look sluggish, especially against a team like the Rams who have not made the playoffs in a long time but who also have the youngest roster in the league, once...
