Rams 17, Lions 10: It's a win!
The St. Louis Rams narrowly pulled out their first win of the season against the equally lowly Detroit Lions. It's a good way to head into the bye week, where hopefully head coach Steve Spagnuolo can instill some discipline into this team.
Question: Do you give the game ball to Steven Jackson or to the penalty prone Lions? I had a feeling we were heading to over time (or a last minute win by the Lions) when a Louis Delmas pass interference penalty gave the Rams a new set of down that they quickly exploited with Jackson carrying the ball 42 yards on two carries to find the end zone for his first rushing TD of the season.
Jackson ran hard all day, and more than once we saw him drag a pile of Detroit defenders to eek out a few more hard-earned yards. The man carried the Rams otherwise shoddy offense. With the score notched 10-10, there were a few series that had you wondering if this wasn't the makings of 0-8, especially with Pat Shurmur still so committed to the passing game, despite his best player being SJ39. Thankfully, they stayed with Jackson enough for him to pick up the team and carry them to their first win of the season.
Stay thoughts and random observations:
- Did the offensive line actually get better in run blocking once Setterstrom came into the game for Bell? Something to think about going forward.
- Marc Bulger is done as a Ram, at least once this season is over he is. RIght? He's got to be. He was awful today. He had time and couldn't find receivers (not entirely his fault). He made throws that were easily batted down. Against a better secondary, he might have been intercepted 3 or 4 times today. Josh Brown was a better QB today, and now has one third of the TDs Bulger does on the season. How do the Rams pass up on a QB in the 2010 draft?
- Randy McMichael is done as a Ram too. Oh sure, he'll finish out the season, if he can stay healthy, but you can pretty much guarantee this guy isn't going to be resigned. Good riddance.
- The defense struggled with the screen pass. Is part of that the effect of losing Will Witherspoon?
- I like Clifton Ryan, but I think it's a problem that he's the Rams best DT.
- Chris Long had a sack, but an otherwise unimpressive day. I'm not willing to call him a bust just yet because he's playing with a pretty bad defensive line. With more talent in the middle and a switch to the left side, he should find his groove in the NFL.
- Why is the defense not tackling well? Players who can't tackle should be weeded out of the defense.
- The offense looked awful. Did I say that already? Once again they took penalties to put them in bad situations, not often, but enough to put them in third-and-long twice. They converted just 25% of their third downs. They also failed to convert any of their three trips to the red zone.
- Jason Smith looked good, not perfect, but good. I want this kid at LT now.

Bulger is done as a Ram, that's for sure
Kyle Boller should probably be the starter next season, but it will depend on what the Rams do (free agent, draft, etc.)

I don’t really care for Bulger, but you can’t say he’s the reason we stink. The play calling is terrible. Every 1st down you can bet that SJ is going to carry. They don’t call screens at the right times, WR’s running incorrect routes, McMichael (thats says enough itself), etc…
Burton looks impressive, but they seem to forget about him & 39 as the games go on. I do like Setterstorm over Bell any day. I don’t understand why everyone wants to draft a QB so bad when we spent a pick on Knull? Is he just a waste of a pick, or does he have the skills to play in the NFL? Nobody can answer because he has never been given the chance. I say use the picks on playmakers @ DT & WR & every other position on the field.
What about Josh Brown? The man is the highest payed kicker in the league, and has only been fair at best since wearing a rams jersey. I see improvement, but we still have a LONG way to go. JMO

RAMS WIN !!!
Let’s not get to excited. It was the Lions, OK.
And we played like crap on both sides of the ball.
If it wasn’t for SJ…..well, you know.

I pretty much agree with this personnel performance synopsis
I was thrilled to see SJax roll over people. I went wild when we actually executed a trick play. Who the heck had the balls to call it??? I think these facts are the two reasons we won the game. Again, Bulger was terrible. It especially irked me when he slid 1/2 yard short of a critical 1st down and we had to punt the ball away. I didn’t see Chris Long get a sack, but I’m glad it finally happened, even if it took eight games. Most of the time I observed Long being pushed way outside away from the QB and ball carrier. The three false start/offside penalties bugged me too. Anyway, Happy Day! And the 40 whiners and Sea Haigs lost too. Whoopee!!

Geez guys...
…the Rams win and you still can’t cut the guy some slack? McMichael and company dropped some balls, especially an absolute beauty that should have been a touchdown. He made some nice throws throughout. I mean, he made some mistakes, yeah, but can we at least ease up on the Bulger bashing on a week we win? Please?
And if the question was “how do we pass on a QB,” I think you answered your own question by mentioning that Ryan is out best QB with Ndamukong Suh available. Not to mention we need a true #1 receiver because Donnie Avery can’t catch balls that are within 10 yards of the LOS like 3k was pointing out.

it would be easier to cut him some slack
if he did anything to contribute to the victory, but he did not. it is nice to get a win tho.
our best hope for next year is to draft a geneticist in the first round and have him clone stephen jackson 21 times so he can play every position.

If people weren't dropping balls on him...
…he’d have had a better day. Also, he made throws on our field goal drive and the drive where we faked the punt.
He also passed Roman Gabriel for 2nd all time in Rams passing. Please give him some slack. I mean, you’d think we’d like our 2nd all-time passer a little more when we win.

While I appreciate you dropping an opinion of mine,
I have to disagree with your call to lay off Bulger. This game was the last straw for me. I’ve tried to cut him as much slack as anyone deserves, but today’s performance against Detroit’s slackluster (that’s a level worse than lackluster) secondary was pathetic. I’m not completely convinced we need to draft a QB, but I have no desire whatsoever to see Bulger as the starter in 2010. Hell, I don’t even care if he doesn’t finish out the season. We got the win, start building your 2010 roster now.

That's fair...
…but my frustration is that many others are to blame for our passing game as well, and even with the win we’re crying. Shurmur, McMichael, Avery. We didn’t run a single screen play, I only saw Avery go deep once. McMichael dropped a perfect TD pass to the back shoulder. Please tell me I’m not the only one that saw this. I know he missed people, and the pick he threw was pathetic, but he managed the game enough to win.

I recognize that
But knowing this game was on his shoulders, he disappointed me too many times. Trying to throw through the defensive line (batted balls), not going through progressions (as Stafford did), and the scramble that saw him come up short. He didn’t play like he wanted it 1/2 as bad as Steven Jackson. Football is the one sport that I believe emotion plays out on the field, and I don’t see any out of Bulger when we need it.

Jason Brown and Mark Setterstrom did a good job towards the end. Jason Smith wasn’t that bad I have to agree. I’d like to see Smith-Sett-Brown as the left three on the line. I’d like to see what we could do with Incognito at RG…
Bajema did a great job today, and Fells did good except for the drop he had (nice TD reception). McMichael is easily gone. He just isn’t cutting it.
Clifton Ryan did well, and hopefully with some mentoring he will be become a solid starter. Chris Long was alright today, but I think VR is right, they need a better unit as a whole before they all start producing good numbers. Suh looks like a good draft pick, although the devil inside me is hoping they can swing a trade and net Dez Bryant.

Bulger bashing
Listen. There is no need to bash this guy. He is done, plain and simple. He’s been done for the last 2 and a half years. Its really not his fault. Other than the fact that he can’t take a beating. And that is exactly what has happened to him over the last few years. So now he’s scared. To scared to play Professional Football. Hey…..I’m not “bashing” him, hell, I’d be scared to if I was beaten as much as he was. But that doesn’t negate the fact that he’s done. We need a new QB and we need to draft him #1 in 2010.

Yeah, because the guys available are totally Peyton Manning...
…and not a bunch of spread offense gimmicks. I’d rather spend that money on Suh or a receiver that can catch the football.

This is a great day
because I fear what could have happened if the Rams had lost today. I’m afraid they would have lost whatever confidence was left and just tanked it badly the last half of the season. And I’m not one that thinks teams should roll over and play for draft position. They need to keep winning and winning.
by blindmouse on Nov 1, 2009 4:30 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Still a long road ahead.
I think that the team gained some confidence today, but there is a long way to go. First of all, we need to win 2 more so we don’t match the Bucs record of 7 losses over the course of 3 seasons, and we need to get back in the playoffs (obviously not this year). Hopefully the team can win at least 3 or 4 games this year. Finally, Spags needs to stay. I think he’s going to need at least 3 or 4 full seasons. Linehan was bad and deserved to be out after his time, but I’m confident that Spagnuolo is moving forward.

They've got about five winnable games
Against Seattle, at Chicago, at Tennessee, against Houston and against San Francisco.
by blindmouse on Nov 1, 2009 4:35 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'd shorten that list.
I’m not so sure they can go into Chicago and win. Granted, Chicago’s kind of a jekyl and hyde type team, but I’d think Cutler puts them over the Rams, especially in Chicago.
Houston….that’s a pretty good offense and the centerpiece is really the tight end, something we really struggle with. Owen Daniels might score 3 tds against us.
So, that leaves Seattle (at home), at Tennessee, and at home against San Francisco. I’m glad the Seattle and San Fran games are in the Dome. That helps.

Correction.
Looks like Owen Daniels is out for the season (and my fantasy team took a major hit) so Houston becomes much more vulnerable.

Our team needs to make some moves
Bulger reminds me so much of AJ Feely, hes serviceable, accurate, and kinda smart, but he’s not starter worthy. Maybe give him an 1/8 of his contract and keep him on the bench. D didn’t look as good as I hoped, especially with the run, I thought the run was what we were good at but it looks like Witherspoon is a bigger loss than the front office thought. SJax might be the best RB in the league, I know its the lions but he was amazing. Recievers arent good, and I think that’s our number 2 concern going into the draft.
For the draft I’d say QB, WR, and DT, just because I don’t think Suh is that much better than the other guys you can get.
by kinzav29 on Nov 1, 2009 4:38 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
that is a good way to put it
about bulger that’s how i kinda feel as well. He just doesn’t belong on are team. I really think Suh is a great ball player Im just not sold on if he can come into this league and be a great ball player. I think if your going to draft someone in the first round they should be pro bowl material or at least above average at their position. If someone like gary gibson can out perform Carriker why bother?

Bell is not missed - this is mixed news
At least versus the Lions, I would agree that Setterstrom played as well as Bell. Good that we have someone ready to play that spot, bad that we were counting on someone who has performed like Bell. Jackson is a beast but the line always shares some of the credit
Bell and Long are (for me) the most clear examples of underpeforming among our linemen. Long gets a sack, hurray, but you can’t get blocked out that well all the time and expect to make an inpact. He’s not a rush speciliast, he needs to fight through blocks better on running plays too
Marc Bulger looked confused even on the clock-killing kneel down. I think he’s a good Trent Green type of player. Meaning a #2. In previous games I couldn’t see why Greco wasn’t dressing with our O-Line problems, but pretty soon I will want to see Null dressed and standing with a clipboard in his hand, learning up close and personal. If they don’t start grooming him to play a little I will have to assume the coaches lack any confidence in him at all.
Feels good to win. Game day is for gamers. Call out your non-performers during the week, groan about our shortcomings on Monday through Saturday, but once the game starts it’s on and we shouldn’t be talking about “oh we’re going to lose, we suck so bad”. Sucking so bad may be true but that’s Monday talk, not gameday talk. Can you imagine if they talked like that in the huddle? Don’t abandon your team during the fight, men.

You had to be there
I have been a Rams fan for over 40 years. I became one because I liked Roman Gabriel. I grew up in Chicago, hence my name, but have been a Rams fan be it in Los Angeles or St. Louis. I have seen the Rams play in person with John Hadl, James Harris, Ron Jaworski, Pat Haden, Dieter Brock, Jim Everett, Kurt Warner and now Marc Bulger. I live in Michigan now, so I went to the game today.
Television cannot do justice as to how bad Marc Bulger looked. He looked like he was scared back in the pocket. He looked like he could not get rid of the ball fast enough. His passes were generally late and behind the receivers. Some were caught, some were not. In terms of accuracy, I have never seen anyone like Kurt Warner. He hit runners in stride. Bulger’s receivers were generally waiting for the ball. They were generally diving for or reaching back for the passes. Had he been able to hit his receivers in stride, it could have been a blowout. Don’t even get me started when he scrambled on a third and seven and went into his slide at six yards. He had a good three more yards he could have gone.
The offense was just plain boring. God help us if anything happens to Steven Jackson. The man is a bull. He probably would have scored the game winning TD on the play before if the umpire had not gotten in the way.
This team has so many holes where to start? If next year is a no cap year, cut Bulger. With the two high picks we will have in the draft next year, a decent QB should be available.
The one thing I can say about this team is yes, it is a bad team. But last year’s team was a bad older team. This team is at least younger. Remember the old adage, the only thing worse than a bad young old team is a bad old team. I figured this was part of the reasoning in the Witherspoon trade.

Thanks, but I'm starting to get annoyed with the Bulger slide stuff.
Did he slide too early? Yup. But he didn’t have another 3 yards. He got hit as the hit the ground. Nevertheless, I think some people forget that yellow line isn’t really on the field. It’s an image Fox (or CBS, ABC, ESPN, etc.) put on the field for us. When you’re out there and there a huge men about to take your head off, you might not know exactly where the line is especially in the middle of the field.
If you want to bash him it should be for sliding and not going head first. You never get a good spot from the referees when you slide. But, to say he had at least 3 more yards is disingenous. There’s plenty to complain about when it comes to Marc Bulger we don’t need to make things up.
I’m just going to chalk this up to you actually being at the game and not having as good of a view of the play as if you were watching on tv.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
by Tackle Box on Nov 1, 2009 6:33 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The slide
Granted, you don’t see the yellow line. But the mark the officials make is generally where the QB goes into his slide. Bulger went into his slide as he was crossing the five yard marker and the defenseive player was on the other side of the next five yard line (I was sitting in the upper deck.)
Somehow, I ended up sitting is a section of Rams fans. Before we knew it was going to be fourth down, a number of the fans mentioned how early he went into his slide. TV probably didn’t show where he was related to the defensive players when he decided to slide.
I’m not saying he is looking for the line, but, when you’re 0-7 you expect so see some team leadership. If that means sacrificing your body, do it. John Elway and Brett Favre did it and do it regardless of their team’s records.

That's all i'm asking.
If you want to bash his decision-making which led to him sliding instead of going head first, fine. But, your perception was wrong about how much space there was.
There’s no way you can tell me that sitting in the upper deck of Ford field, only watching the play once in real time gave you a better view of the play than I had watching on tv.
Now, if you wanted to tell me about how the receivers fared and how they looked in their routes, fine. That is something you can’t see well on tv. But, a play like the Bulger slide is not helped at all by sitting where you were.
He shouldn’t have slid. Period. If he goes head first, he probably gets the first down.

I was kinda disappointed to see Bulger slide and not get the 1st down.

although Bulger played terribly today, at one point in the game he got in a nice rhythm, completed two timing passes, and lofted a beautiful fade pass to R. McMichael that he really really should have caught.

He has been solid. He might be a little undersized. Most LBs are at least 20-30 pounds heavier than him.
The 53 as one have become the 53 that won.
