It's frustrating that the narrative here is that Fisher/Williams are dirty/cheap shot coaches. Seahawks fans think this because the most undisciplined game we played happened to be against the Hawks.
The 3 QBs that got injured against us before Teddy this year and last year, were all clean hits. The hit against Teddy outside of the pocket was a clean hit - as was explained in the broadcast, you're allowed to go low on a QB when he's out of the pocket. Hayes was trying to hit him, and hitting him low wasn't illegal - ergo it's not "dirty".
Under Fisher's tenure, the Rams have played undisciplined football - but this season we have really turned that around. We're in the top 5 in personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct penalties this season.
So IMO, drudging up the narrative about Fisher/Williams is just plain lazy.
It's football - the reality is that no matter who you play against, your QB is going to get hit. The QB runs the risk of getting injured anytime he crosses the LOS.
I admit it was dirty, because it was. That doesn't mean the Rams are dirty, or even that Joyner himself is a dirty player - we as people do stupid things without actually being stupid. He did something bad, and he will probably pay for it. I'd have no problem with the NFL suspending him. That will all be taken care of.
Now we should just move on. Contrary to popular belief, the Rams are not a dirty team. I have NO problem with a player on my team hitting a QB that's been killing us by running the ball, a little late. I wish he wouldn't have hit him in the head, but I don't think he can possibly have meant to do that. It sucks that Bridgewater went out, and I hope he recovers and can play next week.
But seeing this and filing it under "Fisher and Williams are dirty" is just lazy. We've come a long way and it's sad that after a bang/bang play with likely no ill intent, it's back to "the Rams are dirty".
It would be like a Seahawks player getting caught with PEDs and me saying "Seahawks cheat" - it's lazy, and it's not looking at each individual scenario.[/quote]
The Rams are DIRTY and CHEAP SHOT ARTISTS. Watch the Rams players when getting up from the piles and you will notice a push to the throat or helmet or a knee to a back or thigh to help themselves up. I don't mind the hard hits during play, but I see the little things the Rams do as cheap and dirty. That isn't a lazy assumption because I have seen it with my own eyes more from the Rams than most other teams.
The niners of the past few years were doing that garbage a lot too. I'm seeing more coming from the packers and Broncos than usual too. That punk ass stuff is cheap and dirty and should be taken out of the game.
The Rams are really good at getting a head shot on every tackle they can when it is legal too. Most teams tackle the body, the Rams tackle by the head.[/quote]
You're wrong. And I'm pretty sure I watch the Rams A LOT more than you do.
To make the comment that you "see it with your own eyes more from the Rams than most other teams" must mean you watch literally every play of every NFL game.....which we know isn't true. In fact, aside from highlights, I'd bet that there are some teams that you haven't seen play a single down. So you cannot accurately make the statement that the Rams do little stuff after a play than other teams when you can't possibly know that.
The Rams are not the same team that they were two years ago.[/quote]
I actually do watch most games. My wife gets upset because every dvr in the house is full of NFL games. The teams within the division are full games and there are a few teams outside the division that like to watch and I record all the short cuts of the rest. I haven't watched a single Patriot game this year, but I have seen EVERY other team at least twice....except Kansas City..I could only watch them once and I think they are the worst team in the league...even worse than the niners.
If there was a good game where the favorite lost, I make sure to watch the coaches film of that game. After the short cuts, I also pick a game or two that was well played and watch the coaches film of those...so, I actually watch Most games eventually. And just so you know, I have seen every snap your sacrificial lambs have been on the field for the past 6 seasons...boy do I want credit for all that wasted time.
After all that, the Rams are still dirty, cheap shot artists and they do that stupid crap I pointed out that they do in my previous post and they do it more than "most" teams do. Maybe someday you'll have Sunday Ticket and Gamepass so you can watch other teams and compare them to your dirty, cheap shot artists.[/quote]
First of all, I do have the Sunday ticket and game pass. I watch as many games as possible live.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...although I think you're biased and it says something that there are some Seeahawk fans that wouldn't agree with you.
When you say you've seen every team twice though - that proves my point. Every team has played at least 8 games, so saying that you've seen 25% of a teams' plays and that you can emphatically state that the Rams do stuff that other teams don't is just.......wrong.
You hate the Rams...cool...I hate the Seahawks. If I were in your shoes I'd probably be saying the same things.
But the Rams aren't any dirtier than other teams....facts like personal fouls and fines handed out would back that up.[/quote]
Is that right?

Shall I keep going? That took me about 8 seconds of "searching"
You have a reputation. You can pretend you dont if you want to I guess.
The NFL is tired of the antics of your coaching staff. Total douchebag actions every year.
