Did the Rams miss something?

Did Rams head coach Scott Linehan forget to the give the rest of the team and his assistants their dose of Teamocil?

I've racked my brain, over and over and over, but in the entire 10 or so minutes I just spent considering the Rams play this season, that's the only thing I can think of, the most logical explanation at this point. Surely, knowing the head coach's job was on the line to play like this. The 4th and 1 keeps haunting me. (Remember the day when Linehan wouldn't have gone for it there?) Surely, even the most sad sack bunch can muscle up for a down, at least pull one finger up with the Seahawks having them essentially pinned. Remember the Alamo?

Im thinking they might be just waiting to dump this team

after all this and the Rosenblooms still have not taken any action to fire any one? what owener would just sit and watch his team get worst every week and not say something to the people he has running it, ? ? i wont be suprized if i hear them selling this team, and that would explain why they have not done any thing since taking over this team
no mater what we have to say about Rams President or GM, or Coaching , it all starts from the top , the owener ,were is our owener been ???

Too bad Steve Rosenbloom couldn't have been running the team...

I wonder if Chip and Lucinda have contacted Steve about how to run the team?

Can someone explain to me quick and short why it isn't Steve that's running the team?

Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me......with nothin'.

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

The article explains it, at least partially

Sounds like the team was left in Georgia’s name rather than Steve’s (or any of the kids’) for estate tax reasons.

Then, Steve expected Georgia to sign the team over to him, though it’s unclear why she would do that, other than from his perspective “it was the right thing to do.”

Naturally, she didn’t. She kept majority ownership and divvied up minority stakes equally among each of the kids.

How the team passed from her to Chip and Lucia, rather than Steve, though, I’m not clear on yet.
