St. Louis Rams Roundtable: Biggest Disappointment In The Rams' 0-4 Start

we knew our WRs weren’t that great to start with.
With all that money for the blockers and the seemingly wasted 2nd round pick in Kendricks…I’m disappointed.

… that and giving Bradford the protection calls while learning a new offense without an offseason to learn.

The Bradford protection calls may signal handedly have a bigger impact on the emotions of the entire team than anything.

Not blaming Bradford here, I’m blaming Spags.

I guess my answer is Spags.

On spags, the team having to learn from a new offensive co. The short training camp, effected the team from the start, and the high expectation to win right away, was probably too much for Bradford and the team to over come

I was high on spags when he first got here and especially so after he got us up to 7-9, regardless of that weak schedule. Felt so good after going 3-13, 2-14 and 1-15 to show some signs of life. Then we got McD and I was so hyped for our offense. Spag’s D coming into it’s third year, I was hoping for a top performing defense. Our offense and defense our both near the worst in the league. We have many of the same starters as last year, and even added some talent, but our team looks completely flat, out matched and out coached.

and I guess i didn’t save it on my email so I lost it and got frustrated and didn’t do another one lol sorry Tev

I don’t know who will be the replacement as the GM, but my choice for a coach who is a realistic option is Tom Cable

That looks more like “Gah! Why do I bother, this is gonna be dropped!”

No doubt….when NFL teams are good/great they have awesome offensive lines. I’ve seen teams with very average skill position players win big because their QB has all day to throw and they are blasting huge holes for the running backs. I don’t fault the Rams for their effort in building a line because they have certainly invested in one, it’s just that the results suck. Great O line coaches don’t seem to grow on trees either but I would suggest the team start looking high and low for one.

THE ENTIRE COACHING STAFF, BECAUSE THEY SUCK BALLS !

sign this mofo

For thinking we had a super bowl team and putting all the hype and expectations out there. Ya’all caused the injury jinx and the bad playing, its your fault so go join the 49ers blog.

The only realistic things: Amendola got injured.

There’s a player performance ratings thing that gives real time effects.

DX acquired “drops open passes: yes”

Sam Bradford acquired “Sense Pressure: Paranoid” after being sacked a few times.

Definitely the offensive line for me, too much money invested for it to be this BAD. Not even average…AWFUL! Attention to detail is definitely up there as well. This team prided itself on being fundamentally sound and blue collar last year, where the hell did that pride go!?

traded for Mason today from the Jets. Come on, Rams….

I’d blow my load by now, so tired of hearing it.
YAY, He’s getting a chance to start, wooptie f***ing do!

with the O line, thats my biggest disapointmnent. For those of you talking about coaching change, dont forget about Jeff Fisher :)

Sam having to learn a new offense and make lines calls. With no off-season, this has got to be too much. Take the line calls away from Sam and give them back to Brown until next year.

Regarding the current team, I’ve gotta say that pretty much everything that can go wrong in a season, has gone wrong – the coaching, playing (from both sides of the ball), injuries, penalties, decisions from the FO, you name it, it’s gone wrong. I’ve said so many times on these threads, that the team just hasn’t turned up to be competitive in ANY of our four games this year. We haven’t racked up the points, our franchise QB is taking a battering, our o-line is worse than last season, WRs who can’t do the fundamentals like catch the ball, the D pretty much playing itself out by being on the field a lot more than it should be, our really bad secondary issues, Special Teams deciding to take the year off (and what’s with picking up two guys who’s speciality is on Special Teams, instead of looking at players who can make a difference on the O & D? Are we really not allowed to spend any more money this year on quality? Cause you can’t tell me that what we’ve just picked up is going to improve our season)…
In many ways, this is worse than our 2009 season – then we had excuses in abundance – the biggest one obviously being a new Head Coach. But this year, maybe we got too far ahead of ourselves – maybe, after grabbing seven wins last season, we were expecting too much. But it’s unforgivable that for 240 minutes of this season, only once have we looked like doing something great (S-Jax’s initial run for a TD). Pretty much every other time our team, offense considerably more than D, have played so damn poor. Is that on our new OC, the players, or both? Or does it come down on our HC for failing to recognise how far we’ve regressed this year, and hasn’t done a thing about halting the slide.
Personally, and I’ve said this many times before too, I think we should cut our losses and start again. I don’t care that it’s only four games into the season – in another three weeks we could be 0-7, and we’ll still be going on about the same things we’re talking about now. Can anyone really say that they want to give our HC until the end of the year, where we could be looking at a 4-12 season, and say, “Ah well, at least we got a few wins on the board, so Spags has done an OK job…” Why not bring in someone new (I know, I know, it’s not gonna happen), who can start to bring in some fresh ideas, and say to the guys, “OK, impress me, show me that you deserve to be on this team – because you’re playing for your career with the St. Louis Rams”, instead of pinning our hopes on a coach who’s going to continue to clap and pat some guy on the ass and saying, “Good job” to someone who’s dropped the ball for the fourth or fifth time in a game..?
Rant over guys – hope we show some character against the reigning Superbowl Champions this weekend.
