Sorry about the delay, we were having some server problems this morning. Anyway. A loss for the Rams, very likely, and a Chiefs win guarantees the second overall pick.
Greco's starting at LG and Goldberg at RG.
Mercifully, this is the last Rams game of the season.

D looks bad-
Incognito is out
I’m watching on my NFL package- I’ll keep updating until my drinking gets out of hand and I start crying
I wouldn't say bad
Atlanta has a lot of talent and we held them to a FG. Mediocre, maybe?
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
yup
only 118 long yards to go. i don’t think he’s getting there today.

Return Team
I have never seen the Rams with a worse return team- nothing doing- Darby returns straight into a pile. Anyone have any info on the longest return for the Rams on the season (I remember one but I think it was called back)
It was Derek Stanley two weeks ago, I think
and yes, our returns are HORRIBLE.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Good 1st play to Torry
good start

Detroit hasn't completed a pass yet today....ouch.
Tom Jackson in the pre game was saying he thought we were worse than the lions. Hopefully we show today that is not true.
tom jackson is a rams-hater
i’m so sick of the rams-are-worse-than-the-lions shit. it’s obviously not true. i mean orvolsky, ORVOLSKY is their starting QB.

you’re not going to get a return if the opposing team is going to try and pin you down. just get someone who is guaranteed to make the fair catch and not muff it.

He has definintely underwhelmed me this season
I was excited at the beginning of the year, disappointed halfway, and just tired of it now. The wildcat crap, the draws and dumps. If he’s here next year, he has to recommit himself to running real football
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
he also needs to be more consistent
like two drives ago when SJ was running like a truck, you need to keep running the ball, at least on first down. instead 3 pass plays, 3 incompletions, punt. momentum gone.

better than decent
He’s had to deal with weaker off-man pairings and often a less-than-acceptable pass rush. I would grade his season around a B+

SACK!

Fair enough.
Good blitz call, though. 5-man and split the center. It was just run well with good pressure from Hall & La’Roi

well they've shown they can play at a high level at least somewhat consistently

Hey- another terrible kick return!

Great throw from Bulger
You can see he and Holt are on the same page. He has to get there with Avery next year
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ugh!
bulger underthrows avery so bad and misses on so many easy throws….and then makes a throw like that.
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 28, 2008 1:13 PM CST reply actions
hehehe
The one before wasn’t terrible, he just thought the curl was going to come on the other side. I know Bulger’s got his detractors, but I really think another year with Avery will help. Now if Holt goes, then it could be ugly again

looks like it might be a nice farewell game for Holt
or evidence that the Rams need him while 17 matures

Avery needs another year not just to get reps with Bulger, but to remain under the tutelage of a future HOFer

Well, lets see what the defense has in them after that last drive
I talked above about how we would respond to the late 1st half TD, and, well, the response was an early 2nd half TD. Are we going to mail this one in, or keep it respectable? This series might decide that.r

game not over- especially if some trick plays can work- might as well see what they can do- no conservative play calling- someone should find the real al saunders who has been tied up in a janitors closet like the russian chess player on saved by the bell

I used to be a part of some Rams Online thing years ago. It was a great community and I even met a few fans when I travelled to St Louis the year we took it all. When the board went down I lost touch etc. Do you know this board and are any of those folks here?
More defense.
We’ve been up and down. Time to see how good the pass D is. The run D has been respectable against Michael Turner today.

i don't know about that
they get to play the cardinals next week.

That was just miscommunication
He thought the WR was going to peel off deep, instead he flagged inside

Good hit by Wade
He could be a nice nickel back next year. Really sucks that Justin King missed the whole year. Between he and Wade, we could have had nice options to Tye Hill and Fakhir Brown as up and down as they were all year.

Draft watch
KC (2 wins) v. Cincy (3 wins): Cincy leading 13-0, 10:07 left in 4th
KC is absolute junk. They’re in as bad shape as a franchise as Detroit is

Interesting punting strategy
I’ve never seen this guy before. Fair catches all the time? Negates return yardage. It’s novel if nothing else
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Bulger has had a nice 2nd half
Some ugliness at times in the 1st, but has looked very composed in this quarter
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
a comeback victory
by an all of a sudden okay team.

Torrylicious!
He must retire a Ram in 3 years
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Which. BTW
was a perfect throw from Bulger

I thoroughly suggest it

that's what I got
It’s been great. I am going to have to pay for the baseball package though

that was our first 2nd half TD in our last 6 games
What an absolutely confusing team. We’re not as bad as record. But what the hell is our problem?
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
they did EVERYTHING right on that drive
good play calling, good running, good throwing, good execution, good blocking.
the rams were literally 6-7 drives like that away from competing this year.

don't overlook Bulger
good management and a perfect throw on that deep fade to Holt

I do seem to be his biggest backer here
I really think that he is a very effective pocket passer. He just needs time to throw and more experience with Donnie

yeah 34 points in that one
So much optimism after Haslett took over. I really thought we could get 7 wins after that duo of games.

good god
everything was looking up after that. what happened?
by stlcardinalsfang on Dec 28, 2008 2:32 PM CST up reply actions
I couldn't tell from the 3 looks
if it was a fumble. It’s going to have to be conclusive to overturn it.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Either way
props to Bartell for chasing him down and making the strip

NICE!
I thought they’d overturn it

I just woke up my dog
What a hurdle
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Bulger threaded the needle on that one
Am I being too pro-Bulger? I thought Torry would’ve caught that
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
we almost need a new thread
that’s awesome.

Isn't that incredible?
Almost 400 comments.

And no sign of taiko or TackleBox
Of course, TackleBox is Jim Haslett, so I can see how he’s busy…

Another offseason priority
Lock up Donnie Jones. Eventually, when we get good, we’re going to need a punter as good as he is.

oh...lock his ass up then
he could punt for the rams for 10+ years.

the D has been really god today
can’t forget them.

How did Adeyanju miss that sack?
Ryan took way too big of a drop.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Wade!
This PT is huge for him. Great to see.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Big 3rd down
Let’s go! I’m dying for a win. Screw draft position, this game has me hyped!
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
No Torry Holt
That was a mail-in play call and very risky. Why call a screen?

that was a stupid play call
thanks al saunders.

oh wow
saints comeback. the falcons are playing for something again.

Pisa looks absolutely lost today
He’s so inconsistent. It’s a shame, because when he’s on, he’s greatness
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I think we missed a tackle on that play
We put the ugh in ugly
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Either way
We played football today. We can end the season with a shred of optimism.
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
KLOPPY!
Great throw by Bulger (I know, I know)
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
417 total yards by the Rams?
great game… I feel it
Should have run it on 2nd & 2
Call me conservative, but I would have liked to have picked up the 1st and then take a shot
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Well, it was worth watching
This was the most excited I’ve been for the Rams in months. At least I’ve got more hope going into next season
Jay Zygmunt, now that you are going to fire yourself...have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
that sucked
al saunders needs to be gone. TOMMORROW!
at least they won’t win the south.

Great game thread
Give a hand to ourselves. TST is growing, people…
