Good game guys. It was a great game to be at, but I will slam your fan base a little.
Very few Ram fans in attendance. The way your team is playing, there should have been 4 times as many Ram jerseys at the game.
Weird, but Az fans seldom attend as well. SF does represent.
Not trying to rub salt on your win. Merely posting my observation.

I would say maybe 10% of STL fans stayed with the team when they left. That’s a lot of fans. And LA fans are kinda fair weather fans so.. gonna take time.


If this Rams D had a crowd as loud as Seattle’s on 3rd down they’d be pretty good at home — if we can stop the run

Yes and no, but it has far more to do with the defensive schemes created by our hugely overrated DC, who I thought was a terrible hire to begin with, and he has proven me right.

Gregg Williams had the defense get off to slow starts every year too. A lot of new players and Donald's hold out has the defense still meshing and learning the system. At least I hope that's the problem...

Pretty nasty hit on Cooks! No Flag? WTF??....

You breathe on a guy these days and somehow that wasn't a flag??? What a joke!!!

 

[shopson67]

A little home-cooking by the refs? That questionable spot with Gurley on the last drive (maybe 2 in a row?), along with no call on Cooks getting blown up...hmmm.

just more inconsistencies' by the NFL

That's also Cooks 2nd concussion this year. He got knocked out of the super bowl with the Patsies in February!

It could be Shoppy! I thought Gurley had it both times!

Here's the hit on Cooks in the super bowl last February. Dam!... How much more can this kid take?

Don't worry guys next years helmets are much more protective

 

[Jermaine133]

i'm surprised the nfl hasn't came up with a helmet which has some flex padding which absorbs and spreads the shock of the impact and distributes it ?

You can bet they have, but that's definitely easier said than done, especially if they want the helmets to stay about the same size the are now.

Ya you would think with todays technology they would have something???

Maybe just a big clear bubble, instead of a helmet

Can't believe the RAM ran a pass play with 3 yards to go. Then if not make it kick a short FG. Good thing Rams defense showed up today offense has been stalling out all game.

In some of the recent vids about the development of Goff under McVay posted here, I almost had a verp when I saw the clip of the Drama Queen standing next to Snead during the call of the draft pick three years hence. What a complete dufus that little bastard has become to be known throughout the league and nobody wants his sorry ass anywhere near a head coaching position in the pros and apparently now in the college ranks.

I thought he was good for the Rams for the first few years Retro, he put talent on a team void of any. With that however, hear me out....

Those last couple of years took us through the relo to LA and put us in position to get McVay.

I harbor no ill will towards the guy. He needs to move to the 21st Century on offensive techniques & executions, but he knew how to build and run an NFL defense, and mostly how to find offensive talent. He had a few major duds, but gets a pass from this fan because of his lack of understanding on how today's offensives work.

He would make an exceptional HC for a team like the Browns, getting them to 7-9 would be a major hurdle, just like with us. I'm sure he could do it, after that, the team could send him packing and hire an HC to take them to the promise land, Playoffs of course....

So, thanks Mr Mustache, for drawing out your tenure to land us the boy genius!

For that, I am forever thankful!

Fisher did not have the goods. He didn't have a winning track record and was a mediocre Head coach throughout his career so for the Rams to think he would be the answer was crazy. If they hired him knowing they were going to move the franchise back to LA I would say they made a good choice but that wasn't the case. No one knew the Rams would be moving when they hired him.
He was a third bad coaching hire in a row for the Rams but I hold a grudge against him the most for ruining the careers of many very good young players while he coached the Rams.
He could recognize great talent but didn't know how to coach them once he got them.

There is an element of truth to some of your points Vita and I'll give you that much. I have a tendency to agree with Rambunctious on his points and that is more subjective than objective. Good points all around from to two stellar Rams fans!!
