We just learned how to win on the road today with a boatload of adversity including the weather. Nice job by the O and the D!!

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

ugh, now I have to watch the Cowboys and Bears? just great

 

[Retroram52]

Well boyz and girls. On we go to the Cards. I am going to try to get tickets. See if I can go to the game.

 

[Smed55]

I'm glad that we won, but just seems kind of hollow for me! I don't think we looked good and Fisher acted like it was winning the Super Bowl, I guess for him it was, and maybe that's why it's bitter sweet for me, I want him gone, and this just gives more hope for Fisher to stay!!!!

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Both Garrett and Fox seem to be chewing gum or something....What if they're chewing Khat? ;-)

 

[Rambunctious]

great game.......

While I'll agree we didn't look like world beaters, we did look pretty good for early in the season...

I hear ya Smed.....I just love the win. If the Rams would have lost this one I would be feeling pretty lousy right now.

I agree, but because of Fisher that's why it's bittersweet, I want him gone, like Now!

 

[Vitamike]

Okay @DJ, Rams won.....

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

I will have to say...THANK GOD we didn't have this bimbo on the sideline of our game that the Sunday night game has...OMG how dumb is this moronic woman talking about a practice football that beeps???

I wasn't going to say it during the game but my Bruins led all but 23 seconds of the game yesterday vs No. 10 Stanford after a TD pass in the endzone, their first of the day.

And then when the clock was at 21 seconds left and the Bucs were throwing in the endzone, I couldn't help but think WOW, not again!

Yea LTFR. Many of the T.V. providers are adding token vaginas to improve diversity I suppose. There is one on NFL Access. She is just a joke and she will not shut her shrill mouth behaving like she played a down of football. All the ex-Pros tolerate her I guess but I have to turn it off when they parade out that token vagina who is a useless as breasts on a bull.

There are some VERY intelligent women!!! However, the women they hire for jobs like this seem to drive home the stereotype of the "bimbo" woman... It's probably the networks personal choice, but not right...

 

[Caynine29]

I've still got no idea how that just happened... but I'll take it.

 

[SJ76]

Amazing how some sundays we come out looking like a football team and other sundays we look like a Sun Belt conference football team.

2-1 ain't bad!


What really pissed me off was realizing Florida St played in the Bucs stadium on saturday, then the Rams played there on sunday. What a weekend that would have been.

 

[Vitamike]

We are not a good road team at all.

There are 5 teams that are 3-0 and there are 9 teams that are 2-1, for a total of 14 teams with a 2-1 record or better.

Of those 14 teams, 6 have played more than 1 road game of which only 3 are undefeated on the road.

3-0
Ravens (2-0 road)
Vikings (2-0 road)

2-1
Raiders (2-0 road)
Packers (1-1 road)
Steelers (1-1 road)
Rams (1-1 road)

Point is, it's hard to win on the road in the NFL, but if the Rams have any chance for a good start this season, they will need to.

WK 1 @San Francisco
WK 3 @Tampa Bay
WK 4 @Arizona
WK 6 @Detroit
WK 7 @Tickenham (A Rams home game vs the Giants, but still away from LA, so I listed it too)

That's a total of 5 games away from our new LA home in the first 7 weeks of the season.

you sure know how to sweetin things up! I'm still blown away by the fact that we scored a offensive touchdown!

 

[Battlelyon]

It's always nice to get a conference win on the road, Case was decent besides that moronic pick 6, Tru and Austin each had one nice play but that is pretty much it, who is more overpaid? We need Gaines back, badly. Tru is not a shut down corner that is for sure.

Fisher wanted to make sure everyone knows he is a bad coach, with his two point conversion attempt. We kick the extra point and go up by 12 instead and it staying at 11 with the failed conversion. Fisher needs to stop people from getting ejected, you get ejected you didn't get an off day that week.

It is nice to see Gurley get going in the second half. Case and Rob's play calling was not helping him out. We got a win, but we are still not a good team. Fisher is holding back our potential.

Well the point was to demonstrate that most teams struggle to win on the road and to be 2-1 with two on the road happens to be hard to do apparently

What would happen if we decided to go with the Rookie, especially with all them games outside of LA in the first seven weeks?

This is why I've been saying all along that I think Fisher will bring in the Rookie in Week 5 but I wouldn't be surprised at all, as long as Case continues to manage the games like he did in Weeks 2 & 3 win or lose, (As long as it's not a 3 game losing streak) that Goff sits until Week 9 vs Carolina where Goff gets two full weeks with the starters to prepare during the bye week for Carolina.
