The official vent thread

[CGI_Ram]

Here at ROD we try to minimize the negative threads that follow shortly after a loss while our tempers are hot. Trust me, I'm there too!

But, relative to housekeeping... Please post your vents here.

Thank you!

 

[Barrison]

Well, playoffs sounded nice there for a second...:sad: and getting swept by the niners just pisses me off.

 

[Slappy967]

Was hoping for better, but the losses to SF this year will make this young team that much better next season.

 

[fancents86]

Alot of dropped balls in this game, but Clemens accuracy was pretty bad as well.

 

[Tony iz Ramlike]

Honestly it might be best to lose all the games from here on out. It would be amazing to have 2 top ten picks for the draft

 

[Yamahopper]

Nothing to vent about. Is what it is.

 

[Faceplant]

Curious to see how the coaching grades out. KC is who we all knew he was. Gamer, but not able to compete against a team like this. They took the run away. Kinda saw that coming.

only if Bradford restructures..otherwise they would be in cap hell with 2 top 10's

Clemens isn't the main reason why the Rams lost. The two main things I noticed were the run game not being as established and Quinn/Long not getting as much pressure as they usually do.

I'm sorry but take those calls away at the beginning and this is a whole different game. It may sound like an excuse but once again, we got screwed by the zebras and we are NOT going to beat a decent team with those kinds of game altering calls and non-calls going against us. So my vent is FUCK the refs. I think it is time for Fish to get fined. He absolutely needs to call those fucks out.

We don't have Bradford, Willis scared our WR's (this includes Cook) before the game rendering them useless, and the offense was inept without the running game. Im good with the defense, they kept us in it. With all that said...

I want a number 1 WR and a developmental QB to groom for when Sam goes down.

 

[V3]

I'm not going to blame the refs. They were bad but they didn't cost us the game. The Rams were being dominated before and after the bad calls.

My vent is with our WR's and secondary.

Boldin was not a defenseless receiver. How the hell is Johnson not to hit him in the head when he's falling to the ground????

Not to mention the breaks not going the Rams way. Kaperdoodle juggles the ball on the read option keeper, and the muffed punt gets recovered by the returner. You can officially call the niners fortunate. Sure, Reid dropped a sure INT, but both of those opportunities were unforced errors. You'd really like to make them pay on those.

 

[RamBall]

The WRs dropped a lot of balls today and IMO the refs got in the Ds head early on with all the bullshit calls. Then they let the whiner DBs get away with a couple of penalties that were less ticky tacky than anything they called on the Rams D.

If the officiating was at least consistent then the players would know what to expect.

But in the end the dropped passes doomed the Rams O.

Wish MG woulda got the ball to Bailey on the fake punt, at least give the play a shot to work.

Did anyone notice that this was the same referee team that was in Carolina? They sure took a different philosophy than that game.

Didnt realize that, but it does kinda explain why they seemed to have an agenda against the Rams. And back to the inconsistency, they ejected CL for a push yet let a whiner player, cant remember which 1, throw a punch that was not even penalized.

TRUTH

And to just clarify here...

The total bullshit call of Offensive PI on Stedman. The fucking defender kept running downfield,,, he was sure he was about to get burned by Sted and kept sprinting downfield. No way Sted is strong enough to push him 5 yards downfield while the bitch is still running full speed. Should have been a first down and big gain / momentum swing. If that was Offensive PI, I need to have the nfl officiating committee explain to me how every single fucking reception anthony gonzalez has ever made didn't get called-back for Offensive PI.

Then we get called for a personal foul for "hitting a defenseless receiver"... you know, the receiver who is clearly aware of his entire surroundings and fighting for the extra yard needed to get the 1st down. Meanwhile,,, our TE Cook, can get taken out at the knee when he is DEFENSELESS AS FUCK... No flag.

ZERO CONSISTENCY BY THE ZEBRAS.

THE NFL IS TAKING LESSONS FROM THE NBA.

LOOK FOR MORE JUDGEMENT CALLS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE OFF-SEASON.

 

[RamzFanz]

The defense played good enough to win. Four sacks and a forced fumble. Krappy was on the run all day. They contained Krappy and the Gore to 61 yards combined and 2 TDs. What are you gonna do? That's a great game against the Niners.

I blame Schotty plain and simple.

I could go on and on but I will just make a few points:

He has no idea how to use TA or how often. 1 running play for 10 yards. Apparently that was enough for Schotty. 4 passes, none in the open field. What a genius.

He has no idea that Bailey is better than Givens. How can you call Givens over and over and over and over when he can't catch the ball any more?

Where the fuck was Kendricks? Is he hurt?

Icing on the cake was the STUPID punt fake call deep in our own territory. Just moronic. 10 points down, 14:41 left, 3 time outs, we're defending and driving the ball pretty well, and you call a fake on the SAINT LOUIS 22!?!?!?! Who fucking does that? Retards, that's who. Full blown retards. God bless them.

 

[fatkook]

can Clemens throw a good ball? So many thrown too hard, too high or too late

 

[jap]

This team's passing game needs an enema!!! :sad:
