Game Thread: Vikings @ Rams (2014 Game 1)

Defense can't play the entire game

TOP is about the same actually.

 

[Athos]

I hope Keenum is harvard smart.....because Davis blows.

FWIW..Hoyer bringing Browns back against steelers..tied up

Austin Davis is managing to make our OL look worse than they are. That's saying something.

Man does he hold the ball too long or what?!?!?!

I have been a fan of the Rams since 1975 when I received my first Rams t-shirt. My wife of 12 years always hears about the draft, the pre-season and then the season itself. She has had some good advice for me " Don't be sad when the Rams lose." It got me to thinking, why do I like this team? They haven't won very often, they always get me drinking the cool-aid early, I get my hopes up, then they suck, make bad decisions in the off season and during game day. I am venting here because it has finally become impossible to defend them to my wife. She doesn't even like football, but loves me and hates to see me sad. It seems like they have been cursed. I can only hope that Kroenke can see that there needs to be a change and gets some new people who are not used to being a .500 team and satisfied with that. Sorry for this, you can see I don't post often, am not a troll, can't help but love the Rams and want better for them and myself. Please understand where this is coming from. The real sad thing is that I have become less sad when they do lose because I have gotten used to it!

Welcome to group therapy. There is an "official" venting thread over in the main discussion area.

Even the Announcers are calling out dedication and care for this, no urgency and no sort of feeling. We're not defending our turf, we're letting them have it.

Quick is almost at 100 yards, we can at least get him his first 100 yard game.

 

[Athos]

Wow.........111 yards of penalties. That's run till you puke, then run again until you puke some more nonsense.

 

[Dxmissile]

Wells suck

 

[LesBaker]

The announcers are right there is no urgency......at least ACT like you're going to try to win.

 

[brandonk2293]

Man this oline is not what it should be.

 

[bwdenverram]

I think the areas of concern are what beat us today.

Penalties
Missed tackles
QB
OL not holding up

I thought Hill was doing well in the beginning but we kept killing ourselves with penalties.
Austin Davis is just bad. He holds the ball in the pocket way too long and just takes sacks.
Lastly, I never got the feeling there was any sense of urgency. Even at the end of the game

On a good note. (yeah there was a couple)

Quick has arrived.
Cunningham almost looks better than Stacy.

 

[RAMpage28]

Gotta say though, I love Brian Quick. I knew supporting him all these years would pay off.

 

[ViperLjs]

This is an absolutely pathetic display on all sides. I thought we were past this kind of putrid play, especially at home.

It feels almost ridiculous to say, but is Fisher's seat starting to get a little hot at this point? Year 3 was supposed to be our big turnaround year.

 

[Dxmissile]

Davis can thro when they block

 

[HometownBoy]

Now we care, with 4 minutes left in the 4th.

 

[ljramsfan]

Where is Kenny Britt??

 

[RamWoodie]

Sometimes a graceful exit without saying anything is the best way. See you later fans.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Quick is at 99 yards, 1 more yard!
