49er’s at Rams

[OregonRamsFan]

Mannion is playing with 2s and rusty. What did we really expect out of him? Bret Favre? I bet he settles down. He’s throwing like he’s a tad nervous.

 

[Warner4Prez]

No, he shouldn't have had. It was a bad throw to a wide open TE.

If a ball hits your hands, you should probably pull it in, especially if you aren't getting destroyed by a defender. It was a high ball for sure, but he should have pulled it down.

Holy crap I just really noticed half of the stadium is red. Life in LA, I guess.

 

[shake-n-bake]

But we are playing some starters, as I saw Barwin and Quinn in at the game..both of which who are older and probably more prone to injury..expendable I guess. As for football being a dangerous game, I remember Carson Palmer getting injured in a game, blowing out a knee after having not being hit; That injury could have happened walking around his house.

Hating the 49ers is never stupid. It's always the right thing to do.

I feel ya LoyalRam. I hate the 49ers too. But the question I ask my self is, if Gurley gets hurt and we win the game and then have really no chance without him next week. Which one to me is more important. Possible Super bowl or bragging rights

Oline blowing assignments left and right, Tavon Austin dancing all over the field for 3 yards, QB only completing check downs.... The ghost of Fisher xmas past haunting us.

Right now manion needs to take what he is given and whiners have been giving a lot.

Those are just bloods nothing to panic about.

 

[OldSchool]

I'd be embarrassed as a Niner fan right now. 8 or 9 backups starting for the Rams defense and this is all you can do?

 

[Warner4Prez]

I hope the Cards keep piling it on.

 

[rdlkgliders]

Or logical. Football is a dangerous game with physical consequences. Walking around your house usually isn't. Ask the Raiders if they would rest Carr in that game last year if they knew the outcome ahead of time.

Playing starters in a meaningless game is stupid. Just treat it like the bye week the top two seeds get.

No such thing as a meaningless game. 3 or 4 seed up for grabs. Fans paid to see stars. etc...............

 

[Farr Be It]

Littleton and Hager hustling.

 

[jrry32]

Littleton has been a liability in coverage today.

 

[Warner4Prez]

No such thing as a meaningless game. 3 or 4 seed up for grabs. Fans paid to see stars. etc...............

Well maybe not that last one.

 

[Farr Be It]

Quit giving this guy time to shred us!!!

The players are just nervous. This is the first Super Bowl appearance for a lot of their players.

 

[RhodyRams]

damn...the back ups suck

 

[Zodi]

The significance between having the 3rd or 4th seed is minimal when compared to potentially losing a starter like Goff, Gurley, an offensive lineman, etc.

If you're a Rams fan and you paid to see starters play today, you should probably follow the team a bit closer haha

It blows my mind people still want starters to play in a meaningless game at the end of the season when playoffs are already locked up, when we saw what can happen last year with the Raiders. Amazing. I'm glad McVay is the one calling the shots.

 

[Loyal]

No, but suggesting this game has any significance is. I'd much rather rest these guys, get them ready for the playoffs and lose to the Whiners with backups than win this game while sacrificing a player of importance due to injury.

And sure, a player can get injured walking around their house. But you're really grasping at straws here. The point of resting players in a meaningless game is to prevent injuries in situations that you can control, and give those players (the majority of who are playing with nagging injuries already) another week of rest.

It's another bye week. A bye week these players have earned.

Again, saying I want to win this game with our starters does not equate with a fictitious desire on my part to sacrifice a starter, or anyone to do it.

It's a rivalry game and a divisional game....It's like USC laying down for UCLA...or Alabama laying down for Auburn in college football. I don't have to like it. lol

Why did we call time out?
