AmpLified Gameballs and Lameballs

Mamasaymamasacoomacoosa! We are dancin', baby! Dancin! Hoo Hoo! I don't know what the hell is goin' on this year but I am TUNED IN! For the first ime in four years I am feelin' hopeful and excited. Honestly, who gives a damn if these Rams don't make the playoffs this year. It's the fact that we can even TALK about being in the playoffs, or going .500, or just beating teams that are better than them on paper is what has made this year so much fun! Shamone! Hoo! I hate to even give some LAMEBALLS on this day but a couple need to be given out. Always room for improvement...and jello.

GAMEBALLS:

El Superbeasto #39: It wasn't just the TD. It wasn't just the 8 yd romps. It wasn't just the awesomeness that SJAX is. It was those last two minutes. Those "no way in f%^&*g hell we are going to give the ball back to Superdouche Rivers to kill this amazing game" runs to seal the deal. Can we even call them runs? They were more like explosions with grunts being heard up in the rafters from the sorry asses tryng to tackle him. That can't be taught, people. You have IT or you don't. My Lanta, I heart SJAX.

The DX84 Streamline Jet: If you didn't get a little choked up (just a little ) when The DX84 Streamlne Jet caught his first NFL touchdown, then I suggest you go to the cardiologist tomorrow and have him check to see if you have a heart. I couldn't imagine a better first game for his career with all the things that Danario has fought through to get here. As we speak I am trying to find a secret titanium alloy mixed with angel hugs to inject into his knee. Let me know if you run across anything.

Chris Long: Maybe this is the first game in which people will start calling Howie "Chris Long's father". Just maybe. I am so happy for Chris. He has played his tail off this year and this was one of the first games where HE got to see the results. we knew it was there. It was nice for Chris to see it himself. Keep it up, baby. Sweet freakin game.

James Hall: Dear James Hall, Thank you for coming back for another year with us when you had ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to. You are a very good football player and I am glad you play for the Rams. Sincerely, AmpLee.

Larry Grant: Larry Grant, come on down! You are the next contestant on Hey! How The Hell Does Coach Spags Get So Much Out Of Seventh Rounders And Street Free Agents!? You've won a chance to keep playing hard and earning a decent living by being a starter in the NFL with your two River Dumps!

LAMEBALLS:

Jason Brown: You are a hell of a center and there are very few centers I would want more than you out there but I hope to Hades that this was an apparition. Those snaps. That hold. You were just jokin', right?......Right?

Play Calling Inside the Opponents 5 Yard Line With 3 Usable Downs: Pat, you called a pretty decent game. You've had a bit of a problem this year inside the five. Let me help you. Now, I know this will be a little too simple for you to process because you run the West Coast O and all but just hear me out. On first down: hand the ball to Steven Jackson. On second down: hand the ball to Steven Jackson. On third down: HAND THE FUCKING BALL TO STEVEN JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your time, Pat. See you next week.

The Ghost of Alex Barron: Saffold, Smith, Kearney quit it. Please quit it. No one can take this anymore. You know the count in the huddle. Sam tells you. You know it. Just stop it. Please stop. It's worse than a walk in baseball or a penalty in hockey or missing 3 free throws in a row in basketball. It's the worst self imposed mistake in all four sports because it's COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE! Stop it now, dammit! it just swallows momentum like Lohan on a rack of jello shots.

And now we have come full circle. What a game. What a team to cheer for. What a time to be a Ram fan.

GO RAMS! GO RAMS! GO RAMS!

Fair gameballs

The sad thing is that Jason Brown is soooo good. And he blocked very, very well today. But the snaps stand out, mainly because there were two of them. You have to assume this is an anomaly, but what an extreme anomaly.

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.

Love the weekly post

Although it is an aberration. and if you are quoting the Bloodhound Gang at the start it is Mama Say Mama Sa Mama Cu Sa. Sorry it was just bugging me. Please don’t flame me lol.

It is milk it may be spilled it may be delicious.

You are correct

on the first. An apparition is a ghost. I did not use the correct word in the proper context. However…..Bloodhound Gang? Think Michael Jackson/Quincy Jones. No flames, my friend. Just…..Bloodhound Gang? Thanks for reading and the compliments, shostag.

Chris Long.

It was even sweeter because he was in on 3 sacks, he of all people deserved it. Jackson was just amazing in the final 3 minutes. Come on now, I know I wasn’t the only one who got scared on the 3rd and 6 in the final drive, I thought another three and out was coming up. That run was an awesome call by Shurmur though, he knew they were all thinking pass and, well, I’m going to assume he was right. Atogwe’s pick was sweet, he snatched it from the receivers hand. I forgot where but I saw a picture of it and in it he the receiver had possession as well so good one by OJ.

"If Dr. Frankenstein were to steal body parts and construct a perfect QB, the final product would look like Bradford. He has John Elway's size, Dan Marino's arm, Kurt Warner's accuracy and Stephen Hawking's brain."

I jumped out of the couch and screamed like a wild man when Jackson got that first down.

I was at my son’s house as the only Rams fan surrounded by Raider and 49er fans waiting for that game to start. It sure was nice watching both the Raiders and Niners suck ass after that awesome Rams game.

Oh by the way, Alex Smith? Bbbbooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA. You get the feeling the Niners couldnt wait to leave Frisco they way their own fans were booing them all game!

Is it just me, or does Sam Bradford look like he can be one of the Jonas Brothers?

Haha I feel for Alex Smith.

He’s definitely a draft bust yet he’s still being forced to try and win games with his arm, only to get booed. Oh it is great to see the Niners first win an ugly one, not much to cheer about there in Frisco.

Lame Ball on Passes Short Shurmur

A lot of his playcalling was suspect. Why was only 1 deep ball thrown? Passes Short, you need to call more deep balls so that the defenses will stop press coverage and not overcrowd the box.

You have 2 WRs with speed (Amendola and Danario) and a stud in Jax. Please call deep balls to open the running game from time to time.
