Nick Foles benched!!!!!! Case Keenum to start @ Ravens this Sunday.

If Jeff Fisher thinks that he is the answer to our problems with the offense, he just needs to resign immediately.

Did u see Foles play?? Keenum is better. I just heard D'Marco Farr say on the radio that he studies quarterbacks for a few hours every week and he said he hasn't seen a quarterback worse than Foles in a long time. Ouch! Don't think the players don't realize that too. The defense was on the field for 40 minutes last game. This offense is actually shortening players careers on the defense of side of the ball Having them out there that long.

I've seen them both play and Keenum looked as bad as Foles has the past couple weeks. Keenum should've been able to torch the Ravens but couldn't. None of these guys are the answer to the QB woes (and neither is Bradford) and Fisher isn't the answer to the coach that gets this team to the promised land. The whole staff needs a massive overhaul on the offensive side of the ball.

Well, at least Cignetti is out.

Hmm, OCs keep getting fired but the playcalling remains terrible. I wish I could find the common thread between them.......FISHER FOOTBALL!

Fisher had both Schottenheimer and Cignetti as play callers and both were horrible at coming up with game plans. Fisher had to have some sayso in hiring these guys, so yes, Fisher is just as responsible as those two as far as I'm concerned.

Well, Cignetti is gone but I guarantee you, the cancer killing this team is still here. The very fact that Fisher is going with Keenum instead of bolstering the career that he help to destroy is about as ridiculous as tits on a bull. I'll be surprised if Boras makes a difference.

I think the players have tuned out the coaches, so what gameplay Boras will come up in a few days won't matter anyway.

Maybe some but Those players know they don't have a QB. And you can't win without one. Again the defense played 40min yesterday. That is crazy.

 

[Retroram52]

Every sports show worth its weight suggested the same notion. Playing a defense for 40 minutes is suicide and of course because the Fisher and Cignetti's offense is so bad, they had little choice.

I lost count of the many 3 and out's the Rams offense had yesterday.

And the Rams have a Thursday night game in two weeks...

I think it was something awful like 1 for 12 or 1 for 13 if I remember correctly.

Only 4 3 and outs actually.

And that is a lot.

These stats are a little old (2009), but 4 isn't far off the average...

[Smed55]

Just saw on NFL live last night the average conversion percentage on 4th down for the entire league is 26%

The Rams conversion percentage on 3rd down is 24%

NOW THAT'S BAD, we might as well go for it every 4th down, our chances are better then on 3rd down!

If a team has 4 3 and out's against a team like that Cardinals that can score nearly every drive, that will get slaughtered.

The defense held up pretty well for a while, but can only be on the field for so long. The problem really was that even the drives that were longer than 3 and outs weren't much longer. Terrible offensive day.

Thats pretty much the whole season not just one day. the D is pissed and broken.

Thats pretty much the whole season not just one day. the D is pissed and broken.

...and short-handed, with guys dropping seemingly every week.

Exactly.

...and short-handed, with guys dropping seemingly every week.

Which has been happening the past several seasons. The Rams just can't avoid the injury bug.

 

[shopson67]

It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. No offense creates overworked defense, which causes injuries.
