Okay, wow...9-7 wasn't a prediction folks, I was merely trying to get a feel for if players are over the Snisher bull shit of if they could be persuaded. Shit I doubt we win 5 games. My point was, even if we get a winning record, I'm still ready to move on.

That is whole different question. It all depends on what the rest of the season looks like. Without a major turn around though at least some of the coordinators are gone. If you are asking at what point Fishers job itself is on the line - not sure. Losses always hurt, but the team is finding ways to make it extra painful this season. Honestly I wasn't huge on Fish when he was signed, jumped on board pretty quickly when the team rebounded so fast....but this was supposed to be the step up year. Unlike many I wasn't predicting playoffs this year, but I did expect improvement (this was one of those seasons where I felt the strength of schedule was to killer to expect a record improvement...though it would have been nice). I don't want to be kneejerk on pulling that trigger....but: 1)this offseason will likely be the selection of the Rams QB for the next 3-4 years (either as free agent or draft)....if Fisher only last 1 more year are we saddling a new coach with his pick at QB (sorta out of sync if that makes sense), 2) if they do only OK next year do I hear the excuses of new corrodinators/new system....

I just do not know where the line is. I know that if the team wins no more he should go, if the team goes 7-9 he should stay...between that I just do not know.

Does this make everyone change their opinions on the current regime? I'm not sure it would for me. I guess it would depend on the style.
I predicted 9-7 in August. I also considered 9-7 a successful season.

I seriously doubt this team even sniffs a winning record now. Rams needed to get off to a good start. I stressed this repeatedly right here on this board. I even posted some historical percentages to show how teams that start slow, don't do good things. There were some ppl who dismissed that notion...for reasons i forget now. Something about "Fisher usually starts slow, no reason to panic if we don't start fast..." I'd call that low expectations.

There were also folks early who weren't worried about AZ winning games because they weren't Seattle or SF. Arizona is better than both of those teams IMO.
We aren't catching the Cardinals.

Rams needed to come out prepared and ready to win games right out of the gate, and show a will of purpose and a sense of focused urgency on every possession. Trying to solve pre snap penalties, coverage issues, mental lapses four weeks into the season will get you buried in this division quicker than shit.
3-2 wasn't too much to expect from the Rams.

No way. If Fisher can somehow get this team to finish above .500 he should be appointed Mayor of St Louis.

My opinion on Fisher hasn't changed an inch. I was neutral to start the season and I'll be neutral until a winning or losing record is confirmed. He still has 11 games to win 8.

If the Rams win more than 3 games this year I will be pretty fucking surprised.

At this point in the schedule I'd be happy with 6 more wins! Had a bad feeling about this season when we lost to MN. That put the warning antennas up for me! If they can't pull out of this comedy of errors, maybe Fish and CO. should be put on notice by the boss!
