Adding to @Selassie I ...

This feature does more than likes and "dislikes". As indicated in my first post; we can add any type of post ratings we'd like.

As an example... just to demonstrate... a smiley face has been added to tell someone their post was funny, etc. I don't want over complicate things, but again it demonstrates how this can be used for fun purposes.

As things stand today;

1. The "thumbs up" = a like and will count in your likes.
2. The "thumbs down" = disagree. It does nothing. It's a neutral rating.
3. The "smile face" = funny. It does nothing. It's considered a neutral rating.
4. The "megaphone" = inappropriate. It acts as a negative rating. This gives members their voice in what they want to see on our forum.

We made these changes based on feedback we've received from members. We've listened;

1. Members have been asking for moderators to do something about excessive negative posts.
2. Members who have receiving warnings from moderators, did not feel they were doing anything wrong. The "inappropriate" button gives these members the feedback they need - prior to a warning.

At the end of the day, maintaining our culture is a community thing. We all own it. If executed right, this can help us with that.

Rams’ OL dreadful in both phases of the game

It didn’t matter whether the Rams were passing or running — the offensive line, in particular the offensive tackles, couldn’t hold their ground for many of the plays. LT Greg Robinson was especially poor with a game grade of 30.0 as he allowed a sack, three hurries, flagged twice, and allowed multiple tackles in the run game. RT Rob Havenstein (37.2) and RG Cody Wichmann (40.3) didn’t fare much better as they both struggled to block anyone.

I think you've Nailed It!!

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Every week, the talk gets a little bit quieter, pushed a little bit further to the background.

Case Keenum isn't supposed to be the Los Angeles Rams' quarterback for very long, but he is progressively proving that he needs to remain that guy in the present.

On Sunday, in a 17-13 road win over the Arizona Cardinals and their ferocious secondary, Keenum went 18-of-30 for 266 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 111.2 passer rating. His past three games, he has gone a combined 50-of-86 for 695 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. In his past eight games, dating to the final quarter of the previous season, the Rams have won six times.

Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall pick, will continue to sit.

"Case is not looking over his shoulder," Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. "He's winning games."

For the Rams, that's really all that matters.

Tavon Austin. And he lost a fumble while in enemy territory.

But he also made several plays down the field. Two of them went to Kenny Britt for 34 and 31 yards. Another went to Lance Kendricks for 23 yards. Another went to Todd Gurley on a perfectly placed, 33-yard pass. Another went to Brian Quick for a 65-yard touchdown catch that gave the Rams their first score. Another almost went to Austin, who nearly hauled in a diving catch on a fly route but saw the ball touch the turf on his way down.

"It's growing and getting better," Keenum said of his chemistry with the Rams' receivers. "It's not perfect, but we are getting there."


Two of Keenum's biggest plays Sunday were called back because of penalties by left tackle Greg Robinson. One was a 27-yard scramble midway through the third quarter that brought the ball to the Cardinals' 8-yard line but was negated due to Robinson's hold. The other came on third down early in the fourth quarter, when Keenum eluded several defenders in the backfield and somehow found Kendricks for a 27-yard gain before Robinson was ruled an ineligible man downfield.

Keenum admitted after the game that he was "pretty tired." He recalled at least three throws that he missed -- to Kendricks, to Austin and to Quick. And he called his team "fighters," because they have recovered admirably from a demoralizing season-opening loss to beat the Seattle Seahawks at home and then win back-to-back games on the road. They've done it all under Keenum.

"He expects to win," Fisher said. "That's how he is. That's why, months ago, we said that he was our starter -- because we have confidence in him, and he can win games."

Triplette is the absolute worst ref in the NFL and that's saying something.

This quote from Young should raise some serious eyebrows about the game he called in our SB loss. Thats some serious 7-9 bullshit.

Gives alot of credence to him trying to direct the outcome of the SB. Which his calls against us and his arguing about the holding call on the Faulk fumble. I hope someone digs up the play Young spoke of.

I only have two things to say about him.

1: If he keeps playing like he has the past two weeks, especially against the Cards, I don't want to see Goff this year

2: I'm glad nobody offered a 1st for him.

Just think about how much better this offense can be if Boras figures out how to get Gurley going.

When you post factual information is that putting negativity on the player? Quinn does produce pressure from his post but he was also manhandled in the run game which is also an important element of his duties. Do we just ignore the other parts of his duties.

Now onto what happens to the pressure when Quinn departs? Who is the DE who replaces Quinn that causes the pass rush to not be as effective? That would be RDE Eugene Sims. Sims does hold up at times better than Quinn against some outside runs. I was sure I heard something close to your comment above on trashing Sims after posts by members here who were very upset with Eugene Sims & said so & were critical of Sims actions last week when he was ejected early along with the Hayes injury making the Rams DL very short of personnel.

Now, is that throwing out negativity against both our RDE's here in this forum? Might these comments be factual comments & very close to the full truth? Not much to get here on my comments on Rob Quinn who just happens to be our highest paid player who is a starter & finished a major divisional game where he had Zero tackles Zero assist, Zero sacks.

Yes Quinn produces pressure & hurries & a few hits but it was not a good overall game for him in spite what PPF says when you acknowledge that Quinn had an aged very immobile stationary QB in the pocket all game long...... Yes the Rams did take Carson out in the 4th quarter. Rob Quinn is seriously vital to this defense. When Quinn has an off game it will cause big issues for Gregg Williams defense. Back before the season opened in July I had Rob Quinn's return to full health as my #1 concern for this defense, that should tell you just how I view Rob's importance as a Ram player.

Manhandled on run plays? Let's just say we agree to disagree on that BonifayRam. I'm not sure what you expect out of Quinn? He job is probably the hardest on the Dline since he has to play against what is usually the best oline player on the opposing team. Then he gets freaking choke hold on every single pass rush. If the refs would call holds like the one they called on Grob, Quinn would be unstoppable. Quinn won us that game in Tampa and he deserves every penny he makes.I think your right about Longacre he should get more playing time.

i wonder what analytics the browns might use to correct this problem.

the browns season is cracking me up.

i have been rooting against them for years while being a fan, it's even better to root against them not being a fan.:mrburnsevil:

I don't have an answer , but I did like what he said in his interview about lack of production. He said he could care less if they keep winning.

Click to expand...

Yes that is by far the best answer he can give, even if he doesn't feel that way, which I think and hope he does. It gets the press off of his back because they can't ask anything else about his run game after that response, and if they are stupid enough to do so, then all he has to do is repeat what he said for those that are hearing impaired.

The great thing about those three close wins is that now the team will have that sort of confidence in their ability to win close games. They won't panic when they are down one score in the 4th because they will know that they are perfectly capable getting that W. Confidence goes a long way.
I am still not over that multiple tackle escape by Keenum, he played his heart out.

Thanks. Ended up watching at WOB (World of Beers). No sound for the Rams game, but hey .. .at least I got to watch it!

It means goff gets to sit and learn and make a smooth transition with a team that's competitive long term while case leads us to wins now. That is literally it

I wish Silver did an article on the Rams weekly. He is so much better than everybody us when it comes to the Rams.

LumberTubs said:

I felt bad for Robinson on the ineligible receiver downfield thing. It looked at one point like Keenum was gonna take off on a scramble again so he was just getting out in front to block.

Everyone is talking about the run game being shut down but sooner or later teams are gonna have to respect Keenum and the passing game more (as much as it might pain them to do so).

Click to expand...

The running game is shut down because teams are sending more defenders than we have blockers. However, as Case and the team learns to exploit all the opportunities the extra attention on Todd is providing, this offense will start to come up with solid (i.e., non-Cardiac Kids-esque) wins. As the defenses adjust for Case's growing success as a game manager, the Express! will stop sputtering and start to roll, then rumble, then begin to flat out thunder down those tracks.

Great article. 3-1 feels great. Now we just need to string a few more wins together.

1978 first round pick of the LA ram Elvis Peacock (i tell ya that was a scary google search )

Ya those Cardinal cheerleaders are a hot looking bunch

Another very big win for the Rams! It's all about the W...

Bears wide receiver Kevin White was having his best game as a pro before going down with an injury.

The second-year wideout suffered an ankle injury and didn't return. He had six catches for 55 yards at the time of the injury. White didn't see the field for his entire rookie season after suffering a stress fracture.

Other injury news we are keeping an eye on Sunday:

1. Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant did not see the field Sunday, as he was inactive against the 49ers. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the receiver is expected to miss one to two weeks. Bryant was diagnosed with a hairline knee fracture, but Rapoport reported that the injury is commonly referred to as a bone bruise, per a source who has seen Bryant's test results. There is no long-term risk.

2. Panthers quarterback Cam Newtonis in the concussion protocol after sitting out the majority of the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

Panthers linebacker Thomas Davissuffered a hamstring injury and didn't return.

3. Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis didn't return after suffering a thigh injury.

4. Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) was carted into the locker room, and did not return. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported preliminary tests revealed it's an AC joint sprain on his non-throwing shoulder, per a source. Cornerback Kayvon Webster injured his hamstring in the game.

5. Saints wide receiver Willie Snead, who missed Monday's loss to the Falcons with a toe injury, was active against the Chargers.

6. Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin (shoulder) was active against the Cardinals.

7. Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan left and didn't return with an elbow injury. Rookie Su'a Cravenssuffered a concussion and didn't return.

8. Lions running back Dwayne Washington suffered an ankle injury in the first half and did not return.

9. Raiders tight end Lee Smith left the game with an ankle injury and was later ruled out.

10. Baltimore tight end Maxx Williams left the game against theRaiders with a knee injury and didn't return.

11. Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon left with a calf injury and didn't return.

12. Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy left for the locker room against the Broncos in the first half with a calf injury and did not return. Defensive end Noah Spence (shoulder) and tight endBrandon Myers (shoulder) were also ruled out of the game.

13. Niners linebacker NaVorro Bowman was carted to the locker room late in the third quarter with a lower leg injury. He did not return to the game, and Rapoport reported the initial belief is Bowman tore his Achilles.

14. Cardinals safety Tyvon Branch did not return after injuring his groin. Running back Chris Johnsonlimped off the field and went to the locker room with a groin injury.

Quarterback Carson Palmer is currently in the concussion protocol after getting knocked out of the fourth quarter of Arizona's loss to the Rams. Coach Bruce Arians told reporters it will be tough for Palmer to play this Thursday against the Niners.

15. Chargers offensive lineman Orlando Franklin injured a knee in their loss to the Saints.

16. Steelers offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday Night Football. Receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (shoulder) was ruled out, too. Linebackers Anthony Chickillo (knee) and Jarvis Jones (ankle) were also ruled out.

17. Chiefs running back Knile Davis was evaluated for a concussion, the team announced.

Hey, point differential is the fifth tie breaker. It matters once or twice a decade or so.

Of course, head to head matters much more.

Tru needs to be a little more careful with the pointing at the opponent that he is doing. I can see that turning into a taunting penalty.
