Hello and Welcome! Know Your Rams is a game created much like the You Pick'Em we had during the playoffs, but it is slightly more aimed at the Rams, considering they actually will be playing in the regular season (zing). Below you'll find a sheet that you can fill out to play, and each week I'll keep a tab on who's winning and so forth.
A few rules before you jump in: Obviously, you can only get points if you turn in your sheet before the game starts. Each question is worth one point except for questions in which you can have more then one answer (say for touchdowns, you pick Hooma' and Steven Jackson, they both score, you get two points, one for each correct selection).
Finally, there is always a freebie, so there is no way you'll end up with zero.
That's about it, and remember, have fun. Hit the jump to fill out your page!

I’m somewhat confused…if you are referring to the ‘doh!’, it was because I forgot to add that line. I’d have no idea who submitted who.
Other then that, if there is something that is bothering you, I can change it.
Sam Bradford drops back, sees Laurent Robinson in the open, and he completes the pass for a gain of 28! Oh- Wait, looks like a holding penalty is going to call this one back...(Oh wait; Barron's gone, ignore that last sentence).
That's what I was thinking
Any penalties for a wrong answer?

possible solutions to this could be...
you are only allowed to select a certain number of players or you lose a point for every guy you select that does not score.
I think
there should be a limit of 2 players selected.
With our offense, it’ll be a step up if 2 different guys can score :-P

Well if you say we'll score 4 TDs
Why should you be limited to two? You should be limited by the score you guess if that’s doable.
Shurmur, your career is in 3rd and long. Don't run a draw.
Onobun > Gates
4 TDs
Ha! Good one.
Anyways, that can be the category that you are limited to 2 players, they produce or they don’t.
Kinda like in fantasy baseball, your (starting) pitcher can only get 1 win, so you’re limited to him getting the W or no, in the Win category.
Anyone smelling what I’m cooking?

Hey I picked 4 if I'm wrong with any of my picks you can deduct points lol
the final score should be plus or minus a number that would be more fair
That's what I did...
selected the number of players I predicted would score, plus put Josh Brown for “other” since I’m predicting a field goal. :)
Go Rams...go Sammy B!!!
Yet the category is labeled: Touchdowns (Receiving/Rushing)

And upon further reading
and understanding your screen reading functionality, I apologize.

I'm so tempted to enter
But I also want to know how this is gonna be resolved.

Ah forget it.
I’m too excited. I’ll just pick 2 players.

There's nothing I can really do about it
It’s either multiple choice (where you can pick one) or select from a list (where you can pick one). If I put a text answer (you can type in anything) you could put as many players as you wanted again.
I’m just going to go off the honor system. If you really are that desperate to cheat at this, well, seriously, get a life.

Works for me.
My two are gonna be the only TD scorers. 10 TDs each. I want 20 points.

No no no this ant about cheating lol come on now i just think we will be scoring more in the air lol
Look I think S.J will score a touchdown running but I think we score 3 more in the air so I pick 4 players , look we get the free point so if one of my picks is not correct take the free point away, then if I get another one right and one wrong I don’t get a point the final score should be a number with a plus or minus next to it if you don’t have points to have taken away from you then you get a minus number , its simple and fair
Then maybe make it a question of - Pick one player who will score.
Sure some peeps will just pick SJ39 every week, but some won’t…….just thinking of ideas.
I should be working right now...
um...
Hong Kong, right?

i went with optimism
thats what the beginning of the season is for, right? we have plenty of time later in the season to be bitter
56-3 Rams?
with Samford putting up 500 yards, 5 TDs
Jackson rushing for 203 yards, 3TDs
"Twin-headed infinite swirling vortex of grotesque suckitude known as Tony Clark and Eric Byrnes"
I always think they named that school after Bradford when I see it now.
Samford that is.
Shurmur, your career is in 3rd and long. Don't run a draw.
Onobun > Gates
I just like calling him that.
Kinda like I say timcecum for tim lincecum
"Twin-headed infinite swirling vortex of grotesque suckitude known as Tony Clark and Eric Byrnes"
27-17 rams
Robinson and Steven Jackson score. jackson has 85 rushing yards on 22 carries Bradford has 14-22 with 1 TD and 2 INTs and on defense chris long scores on a fumble recovery.
BOOM!
I hate to be a dork
but after I’ve filled out the page, how does it get to you? I don’t see any Save or Send button or anything.
There's a submit button at the button of the screen.
Your answers fill up a excel sheet that is saved online at google docs.

Not for me there isn't.
I just looked again. There is no Submit button or anything else like it on my screen. Guess I’m just barred from the competition.
you have to scroll down inside the game
notice that the game itself is in its own"page" it has a scroll option….. it took me a couple of minutes to figure it out too
Submit button...
Hope you found it, andyhawk. I am totally blind and use a screen reader that talks to me…and there are lots of things it won’t read…but it did find that submit button. :)
Go Rams...go Sammy B!!!
121 people are playing
That’s already more then the You Pick’Em we had during the playoffs, and it’s only been one day.
Let’s try and hit 250!

Just saw NFL Live do a "more or less"
They asked if the Rams would win more or less than 4 games… Jaws said more because Bradford is the real deal (hats off for doing your homework brother)
Gruden said less.. and here’s what he said:
“As many times as he got hit in the preseason, NO WAY.. going to be a tough year”
Did he watch the last 2 preseason games where our starters were in their proper positions? Listen, we may not have a “primo” offensive line mainly because of our youth at the bookends, but gimme a break Gruden. You obviously have NO CLUE about the Rams just from that one ridiculous comment.
Now I am dying to see us win 5 games at least!!

Gruden is a dick and he is too busy talking to watch the game VT
I have always liked Jaws because he loves the Rams from the time we traded him to Philli he has said nothing but good things about the Rams
