Its like you vented for me. I no longer feel the need to do so considering the words are already there.

take his headseat off [during end of last series for Rams] and have a few ‘words’ w/Shumur? I wonder what he said, especially considering the horrible play calling. Even the announcers knew what plays were going to be called. Pathetic. Hopefully we can bring a more experienced OC to town.
Boller had too many throws either late or not on target. He had a few good thorws, but for the most part he did nothing that would justify the Rams bringing him back next year.
Barron needs to go, period. The sad thing is he has skill, but no concentration or personal accountability.
Little should come back for a limited role. He can still be usefill IMO.
We need a true #1 WR, or a better QB. Quinn shows promise, but nothing that would make me think the Browns will keep him. Still think he could be coached into what we need.

…I know you’re pissed but for crying out loud Bulger was NOT there. I can’t stand this either, but it’s low and frankly irresponsible to be mad at the guy RIGHT now, especially after he had his two best games before he went down. With all the injuries we have, especially at WR, it’s no wonder we suck on offense.

This team will turn this around, but the patience with this new staff has to remain. If Spags hasn’t broken, and his ass is actually on the line, then we owe it to them to support them till they get the players they need.

Go RAMS! I can still say this with pride and faith that they will right the ship in the near years. We knew this season would be tough, but it was also necessary.

Is that our defense played very well today. They absolutely dominated the field position battle – as fang said above, we had six drives start in the Bears territory. That’s incredible. Even more incredible is how useless we were, and today, the goat is Shurmur.
  The playcalling has been an issue all season, but today it was the real hook in our backs.

You’re 100% right Van! The Rams are a decimated, talentless group of also-rans. And, I’m through giving the coaches any solace either. They’re part of the problem. And to the folks that keep saying “we’d have won if only Bulger was in there,” give it up! Bulger is kaput and he couldn’t win even the Washington or Jax games either. He got us 6 wins in the last 45 games. I’m embarrased to be a Rams fan and the whole blasted team, with exception of SJax, should be ashamed to call themselves pros. Yecch!

and sock shurmur

The sad thing is… the Rams can’t turn it around in a year. It’s gonna be at least another 2 years or so… I want a QB but Suh would be nice too. The Rams need a true #1 WR too. The O-line (when healthy) is gelling real nice.

Van I agree. Shumurs calls are terrible. Draw on 3-11? Stupid. Barron is a chump who doesn’t care and Bulger is done and Boller is just as bad….

The Rams can’t get a break!

But Chris Long looked not half-bad today…

and still produce so well? Don’t tell me Gradkowski is way better than Boller.

But he is better than Boller……

jason campbell come so close to upseting the saints i think that spags should take a look at what he has to offer.

plain and simple the guy has talent but lacks an oline or big play WR not to mention that the run game has been unconsistant for them as well

by the way did anyone hear whats going on with OJ

it looked like he had a concussion

He looked amazing in that Texas game, I think Spags could bring out the best in a guy who is already the best. I been trying to look at QB’s and some of the guys I been thinking about are Troy Smith, Erik Ainge, Kevin Kolb, and Keith Null (just let him play!). Their all younger guys who looked pretty good in college, have the physical tools, and might only be out of the job cause the guys in front are doing well/higher paid. There has to be a qb change, go out and draft or trade or do something.

We Need a Lot. Suh? QB? WR? OLB? OC?

We fill one of these needs with anyone like we did Lauranitis, plus pick up some talent on a couple of the other positions via draft/FA AND get a new OC… and maybe, JUST maybe we win 5-6 games next year against a much weaker schedule.

    Or to trade down for a few 3rd or 4th rounders. That would be stupid. I don’t recall we tried that last year. As a matter of fact I don’t recall us trying that for quite a while. I recall being told that we’re trying it, but since we’re failing every year at it, we must not be trying hard enough. It’s been done, though. Other teams do it every year. How many 12-13 loss seasons in a row do you want to go through before you start asking for something different. Personally I’m tired of this shit.No one said it’s easy. Rebuilding isn’t easy. theres lots of competition from equally driven teams to come out well on the draft. I f we really had tried, we’d have been a little more successful.
          If you want to know why we want to trade down all you have to do is look at what we need. Better yet, what do we not need? I’ll tell you what we don’t need. What we’ve been doing the last 6 years in the draft is what we don’t need. I want to feel good about a newe front office, but I won’t be able to until I see some real draft day success, including trading down. It’s not that I want lesser picks, but we need more picks. Sure I’d love to have Suh, but what if someone else wants him bad enough to give us a first and a second relatively high pick. Sure, not likely, but I can’t believe how many people aren’t willing to entertain the possibility.

….be hard to believe we were the same 1-15 team of 2009. We have the makings of a decent O-Line especially after Alex Barron is released. We’ll still have SJax. And once our dinged up WR’s are back, they’ll look pretty good. A credible backup for Jackson and a TE would sure help. Gado, Darby and McMichael gotta go. Lauranitis needs a buddy on the outside too. Anyway, just a handful or additions and some major extractions might get us to 0.500 next year against a weaker schedule. That is unless Spags and Shurmur are total F-ups.
