Rams Vs. Seahawks: Rams Can't Convert After Steven Jackson 50-Yard Run

PrintThe awfulness continues for the St. Louis Rams, but it was not all bad. Steven Jackson provided the Rams offensive with their lone highlight of the evening so far. Jackson pinged and ponged his way through the Seattle defense after catching a screen pass from Sam Bradford. Jackson broke out for a sweet 50-yard, the kind of thing that used to be more common for Jackson when the Rams were a little better.
Screen passes have been a problem for the Rams all night, as have most any play for the offense, so it was nice to see them finally connect on one.
Unfortunately, the rams offense did all it could not to score inside the red zone. A pass interference call put them at the goal line, but penalties, Adam Goldberg getting pushed into Steven Jackson and more rough looking play from a quarterback who clearly is not feeling well.
Video of Jackson's run, Leon Washington's kick return and Doug Baldwin's touchdown after the jump.
Here's the video of Jackson's run.
Making matters worse, after the Rams settled for a field goal, the Seahawks used a 54-yard kick return from Leon Washington to start a touchdown drive. That video:

Well we can't convert b/c Sam is an idiot and calls a bootleg for himself
when you have Jackson you run 4 times from the 1.
Painful to watch.
I literally have developed a severe headache throughout watching this game. Clearly my brain is allergic to terrible football.
We had it in 2010 man!
But other than that yeah haha

Even worse when the whole nation has to watch how pathetic we are....

True
if anyone is still watching.
Maybe Shurmer is a genius calling plays that makes best use of the Ram’s limited offensive talent. I think most of us had high hopes after last season and the end of the preseason. I hate to say it but healthy or not Bradford looks like he has regressed.

Many were calling for his head several games ago and I was thinking “c’mon guys, it’s a little early”. Now I admit I was wrong. Spags has to go and take the coaching staff with him.. Even the special teams is pathetic. It’s like it’s contagious.

I thought he did well with what he could...

I hope
that is the problem but I’m seeing a huge problem with his decision making when pressured or not.

His throw
down the left sideline in the 3rd(?) quarter may prove you right. The one that was severely under-thrown but was a completion. Can’t remember the receiver.

he's on a bad ankle...should have never played
Spags is a selfish piece of shat that only thinks about his job and not sams health.
Slinging Sam...Man College announcers suck!

We better....since Miami, Jacksonville, and Kansas City are already talking to the guys we want

And if any of you guys think that "Spaz" deserves another year after that pathetic performance....then your retarded

Finally stood up,
walked into the bathroom to piss out a case of beer and realized a was still wearing my SJ39 jersey.
Then I died a little inside…

Really really really really
Feel bad for Steven Jackson. PLEASE trade him to a contender. I love the guy to death but he deserves sooo much better than this and to play for a playoff team. Also, it could benefit the Rams, we could get some picks, maybe some DBs who knows. All im saying is please trade the guy during the offseason.
Seeing him have to scream to the sideline for them to just give him the fucking ball
was about all I could stand to watch. That was honestly heartbreaking for me to witness them neglect him like that. Like Ditka refusing Payton in the Super Bowl, since that’s the grandest stage SJ will ever see. I threw the mug I was drinking out of against the wall and shattered it after that second failed 2nd down attempt.

wait he had to scream to get the ball?
I’m furious. You involve steven in EVERYTHING.
Screen game, pass game, run game… FEED him the ball, he will MAKE something happen. It’s obvious no one else will.

I should be studying right now, but all I wanna do is curl up and cry.
They purposely did this on finals week. The NFL not only hates the Rams and wants them to fail, but their fans as well.

by then hopefully ill forget and brainwash myself with nba
hopefully my team will have a winning season so I can be happy about something

And I live in Steeler Country and my whole family knows I'm a Rams fan.
Hopefully they’ll have too much Christmas spirit to taunt me…

I heard from Ramchop a couple of days ago. He offered up his initial "Chop List":
“All I can look forward too for STL is getting rid of the warm festering crap that is the FO and Coaching staff. A lot of players are gonna have to get the ax too. This year I’m chopping Jason Smith, Jason Brown, James Butler, Jacob Bell, Billy Bajema, Hoom, DX, Kehl, Clayton, King, Robbins, both Gibsons, Hall, Caddy, Scott, Sims, Norwood and Feeley.”
“Bartell won’t come back due to the bad neck injury. I’m also gonna go out on a limb and say Pettis and probably Kendricks are likely failures. The Rams better grab them a new LT, a #1 WR and a DT in the 1st three rounds. And then an OLB. If they resign Lloyd, and they better, an additional #1 from the draft plus the returning Amendola and maybe Salas may suffice as a receiver core. Somebody at LT like Kalil with Saffold at RT, Dahl at guard and maybe even Goldberg, Levoir and Wragge would be a better O-Line than the two infamous Jason’s and the dumb Bell.”
Giving up on Kendricks and Pettis already.

So, by my count, that's UhOh, Kendricks and Bajema he mentions.
Sounds like my favorite position again makes the draft board!!!…

Kendricks
is a huge disappointment but I wouldn’t predict failure yet..

They gotta be drooling if they were watching tonight

I personally wouldn't want him. You won't find any successful coaches that were analysts on TV that returned to coaching. I wouldn't want Cowher either
I’d like to see Fisher hired just because of his Rams roots
I'll give you that one, but one out of how many? Parcells was maginal, and Matt Millen was a joke.
The thing about Cowher I worry about is how long he’s been out of coaching. The game has evolved, and I just don’t think he’d be a great HC. Now if you could convince him to be a DC…?
Gruden
doesn’t excite me either. Cowher has been out of football only one year more than Gruden yet I agree with you that I don’t like a HC out of football for several years. Vermeil was an anomaly – he was out of football FOREVER!!!

I could live with that as well.
At least he’s proven to lead a team to .500.

You're asking for a lot of pride swallowing
on a coaching staff like that

Schottenheimer disappeared
even though out of football for a while, Schottenheimer, with a decent FO, has the history of turning around franchises and then moving on mostly because of his dismal playoff record.

I didn't know
you’ve mention Schottenheimer as TP before.

I want
draft picks at this point. Trade down and accumulate. This team has so many holes.

Do you agree that they have more and better players than 2009?
Formerly JBaccSTL. Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
I just don't know. He plays well at times, but tends to get beat long
He had a few good plays tonight though. I’d like to see him play with two strong CBs. I think our safeties are spending a great deal of time cheating up on pass downs
I think that's something we can all agree on

@ Douglas
that’s what I was getting at above. I know it’s not popular to criticize one of the few good players on the team but I’m more of someone who doesn’t let being a fan make me a fanatic (not accusing you).

I'd choose
not to answer that question..

I will say that the thought of playing Madden with RG3 in horns would keep me up at night.
Formerly JBaccSTL. Been losing sleep over Rams football since 1999.
the Skins would give up their 1st and 2nd
but they’ve given away all of those for the next decade, so……….shit!
Tebow as a Ram? ICK!
When NFL coaches start to game plan him seriously, he’s done. I love what a great athlete he is, and he’s adding some excitement this year. But no way is he a QB I’d want on my team
He is the QB of my team
after tonight……I’m a Denver Tebow fan. Two team style! Tebows in the AFC, and Packers in the NFC. This years SB is gonna be tough on me
Viking
can beat Washington. The Rams are going to lose out the season.

I'll assume you, too, are now a fan of another team
because the Rams arent beating the Bengals…..or anyone for that matter
December 24th would be a great day to do it...

I give up
for the good of the team for draft picks. lord knows they need em. I’d hate to slide down the draft board for a season as putrid as this.

IDK
The 7 win Bengals are also ranked #19 in both passing and rushing yards, 11th in opp passing yards and 7th in opp rushing yards. I smell a loss in this game. The DL looked terrible tonight (look at the stats). The linebackers were, well, the linebackers and I can go on but everyone already know. The offense is a red zone embarrassment. special teams? forget about it. nuff said.

Then two almost wins over the Cards means we beat the niners!

Slelton's better than Kolb and Skelton sucks.

When they beat the Cowboys, it was at the right time and place to carry them into the post season.
They were the only team outside of N.O. to play G.B. tough.
Rams I'd like to see go.
Feeley, Caddy, Norwood, Porter, Miller, DX, Gibson, Pettis, Bajema, UhOh, Goldberg, Smith, Bell, Brown
Gibson, Scott, Popps, King, King, King, Butler, King
Just off the top of my head

With that said
What players let go in 2011 would you like to have back?
by RoyaleWithCheeze on Dec 13, 2011 12:51 AM CST up reply actions
Tougher...
Bradford, SJ, Lloyd, Salas, Amendola, Kendricks (Too early to give up on and McD’s picks have actually panned out) Saffold, Dahl
Long, Quinn, Hall (if still signed), JL, Stewart, Mikell, Fletcher (…), Bartell (…), Murphy, Jabara Williams, Witherspoon,
Faulk, Bruce, Holt, Warner, Pace
