Game Day Thread: Rams at Cardinals

[Zombie Slayer]

Once again, playing not to lose. Will never be a playoff team when you play with no killer instinct.

 

[MTRamsFan]

Yeah I really wanted to see a replay because I didn't see his knee hit the turf. Wishful thinking of course.

Replay on the big screen showed he stayed up. Bad call IMO, and couldn't challenge because ref blew the play dead.

 

[Ram_Rally]

I'm going to start positive because we're winning and our defense is looking top five but fisher has no will to score and he showed it right before halftime

Hardee's commercials are so tasteless.... I love it

 

[ChrisW]

We have to be the only team that doesn't use our receivers in the red zone, opting to put our TE's out wide. I'd much rather have Quick on that Fade that Cook dropped.

I'm also tired of these laissez faire possessions just before the half. There's no aggressiveness in this offense at all. It's the exact opposite of our defense.

 

[OntarioRam]

The defense is stout yet again. And we've been up against some very good offenses to date. It seems they are taking that next step and are poised to be a bonafide top 5 unit in this league.

Unfortunately, we probably have the worst offense in the NFL to go along with it. We won't win many games that way, regardless of how good the D is.

This team is built to run the football. Figure out how to make it work, Fisher. Because as long as we have garbage run blocking, we will continue to struggle putting up points.

Good game so far. Up by one at half-time on the road in Arizona. I'll take that.

Obervations.
Tavon making plays
Janoris is a lock down cb best player on our team righ now.
o line pass protecting ok and suck in run game.

 

[RamzFanz]

We do get the ball to start the half. ADJUSTMENTS!!!!

Quinn draws the penalty!!! Dang near stripped it!! How big would that have been, eh?

We got the lead with the ball back. Good half!

Not big at all. Fisher would kneel it. I'm not kidding.

Gurley's forearm hit the ground. Which means he's down. But it sure looked to me like the Cardinals player tripped him after he broke his tackle. Which is a penalty.

The OL sucks in our run game because we continue to run this zone blocking garbage. They've gotten positive yardage when we've run power plays.

Serious question, is Quick playing? I read that he is active, but have yet to see him.

 

[gabriel18]

Gonna have to get TA the ball somehow .

 

[SuperMan28]

I don't care that we're winning. This is such a massive disappointment. We continue to do things that don't work at all.(zone blocking) We continue to squander opportunities to score to play it safe. Jeff Fisher, I am not happy with what I'm seeing.

Tavon is working. He had big half.

Honestly he's been our most consistent offensive player this year.

 

[Yamahopper]

Palmer is skitterish from getting hit. He throws low when he's losing sack.

Cigs playbook is the game as my 1992 Gameboy... 5 plays and none work.

Only way they can move the ball is hitting the long ball so they can stall farther down field.

FitzG has sure slipped. Wow.

 

[jrry32]

Yea, I've seen him out there. But we want to get the ball to Cook instead.

 

[RamzFanz]

Putrid offense. Just putrid.

Wrong again. Putrid play calling at times and weak line. This O is as good as they are allowed to be.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Once again, playing not to lose. Will never be a playoff team when you play with no killer instinct.

Until the offense shows better, I think they did the right thing.

 

[…..]

so Fisher is trying to lay down on the ball.....meanwhile Ariens is calling time out in order to get the ball back and do something with.

Of course you do understand the o line is a work in progress?

Cook has just have to come down with that TD, that's my main gripe

To each our own

Homer refs not helping!! Should be 20 6 at the half no thanks to the refs! Go Rams!
