Bulger's status for week 12 up in the air

by VanRam on Nov 23, 2009 4:48 PM CST in 2009 regular season Comment 9 comments

St. Louis Rams QB Marc Bulger has a strained groin/hamstring and a swollen knee. The Rams performed an MRI today determining the strained groin/hammy, and were planning to run another MRI this afternoon.

But that's not the half of it. Tomorrow, Bulger will undergo neurological tests tomorrow, along with Jason Smith and Chris Chamberlain, to determine whether or not he suffered another concussion.

Bulger's injuries are enough that his status for a week 12 winnable game against the Seahawks, in St. Louis, is questionable at this point.

If Bulger is out, that means Boller will start and Null will back him up. I like the Rams in this game, as long as they can play like they did against the Saints. However, if Boller comes in, you have to wonder if the coaches won't get even more conservative or if they've seen enough from Boller in his starting stint this season to keep the playbook open with him under center. If Boller does play, it'll be with almost an entirely different group of receivers than he had earlier in the season.

Stay tuned.

This is shaping up to be a hell of a test

Bulger was finally getting on track with this offense, and I really thought he could go off in this game. Instead, he’ll be out.

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

You have to wonder

if this is the beginning of the end for Marc… there comes a time in every player’s career where things really take a turn for the worst… too bad he was starting to get back into the groove…

If Boller goes down mid-game, guess who...?

Fractured Knee

Bulger fractured his knee and is out 3-6 weeks

This hurts. We’ll need to get another QB. Null might be forced into action soon. I was starting to get used to Bulger too.

Poor guy never had a chance. If I’m not mistaken, he played with it since the second Q. I’m saddened if this is his last game as a Ram. The people over at the PD website are rejoicing. :(

They would

The PD forums are what the bottom feeders feed on.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

It is what it is-

Maybe it is better for the team long term. A day of reconking was coming for mark, perhaps whether he finished out this year with a positive or not. To bad though, he was getting into a confindance mode with the protection he had. Spags might now rue the decision not to give Kull (Knull) more playing time earlier. However, Coach will bring in someone ahead of him, so Kull is still not a factor.
