Why I'm not worried

[Zombie Slayer]

The thing is this is year 4 now and the same things STILL keep happening. It would be one thing if this was his first or second season. But this is a trend now under him, not an unusual occurrence. It would also be one thing if this was a team that usually made the playoffs. They are not. They have not earned the benefit of the doubt yet. When Rodgers told Packers fans to relax last year that was warranted. They've been there and done that. While the season is still early and not over, we have seen these same trends for years now. So there is clear evidence to be at least concerned. I agree that the people saying the season is already over are overreacting, but this team has to show us they've change their ways and have turned the corner. Until then we can always be cautiously optimistic or concerned. At this point I'm not expecting much but a season hovering around .500. Because there are 3 full seasons of that with him here and 20 with him as a head coach where that's the trend.

Is that the ghetto knock off of Kool_aid?

I wonder if Publix carries it?

I bet it isn't pre-sweetened..........

Flavor-Aid is what they actually drank at Jonestown, not Kool-Aid. Lil trivia for ya.

Thing is in the past, when we had let down games like against Minn, they allowed 300 yards rushing. That didn't happen. It was a lot, but we didn't completely breakdown like in the past.

So if our highs are shifted higher and our lows are shifted higher, then the remaining question is still consistency.

I am worried. Worried that Todd Gurley is going to injure one of our OLs next week if they get in his way during our victory against Pittsburgh.

Why i am worried

Good teams win winnable games
I am afraid we arent good. How could this be? After all these picks?

Or even worse: i am afraid they wont plat to potential for reasons i wont mention.

I am more than afraid, i feel let down, discusted and confused.

I am pissed off at this crap ass showing.

Im worried ...as long as fisher insists on building a team to play our divisional rivals and "forgetting" about the other 10 games of the season where we don't happen to play a team that's in our division ill worry ... its all well and good beating SEA/SF/AZ but that's waste of time and effort if you're only going to finish 6-10

I get any given Sunday and the NFL is a crazy place to play sometimes but honestly how often have we all seen it ..we play an absoulute blinder one week and lay a duck the next two then come out go 3-0 then stink up the place the rest of the season

Im tired of the rams making up the numbers I want to see a playoff run hell id take a wildcard game

we have too much potential on this team to suck this bad for so long. Now I hope the rams come out and prove me wrong but hey its the rams ive been waiting 5 years for them to do it and ill wait another 5 if I have but no rams fan should have to

I am concerned. Like Zombie said, its not like they earned the benefit of the doubt. Maybe if they were coming off a playoff season I could see it. But coming off a 6-10 season?

 

[PFaulk]

I figured the Rams would win some games I'd expect they'd lose and vice versa. Just wasn't anticipating them being the first two games of the season.

The NFL season is long. Our offense is a work in progress. The defense flat our got beat by a team that demonstrated a commitment to the run and so far has been very good at it. Through 2 games, the Redskins have the best run offense in the NFL.

If I got worried every year after Game 2 of 16 I probably wouldn't watch pro football. It's a process.

Here's hoping we get a much better effort against Brown, Bell and the Steelers.

You? Nothing I guess. Me? A waste of 4 hours on beautiful Sunday's which could be spent stress free and happy. I'd rather be happy than pissed off every Sunday because this team under Fish sucks a fat one at least every other week.

I feel you man but each of us chooses to be pissed off. I was not happy they were losing by any stretch. But then I looked around at my family, my house, the things that really matter the most and I wasn't as mad anymore.
At the end of the day it's just a game and something to cheer for. It's not life or death.

 

[LumberTubs]

I'm not going to worry too much because I expected to be 1-1 after 2 games. I just expected the wins to be the other way round.

Looking forward, the steelers defence sucks harder than a dead pig on the British Prime Minister's wang (Can't be bothered to explain that reference, google it but maybe not while at work). Points can be scored against them and I have faith in Cigs to find a way.

Also others have said this but this is a young team and harsh lessons need to be learned. Better to get them out of the way early.

Come the end of season I have a feeling that a loss at Washington won't seem so bad. They're better than a lot of people think.

Hey, at least its every other week. For a long time it was every week. Find the positive.

I'm completely with you on this one! Games like this one remind me that I have a lot of other things going for me in life that are more important to my long term happiness.

LOL.

That is all.

On the plus side, the Rams used to be considered a trap team. now we are getting trapped. sip..ahhhh the kool aid glass is still half full.

 

[DaveFan'51]

I mean WHO played the parlay with the Jags, Washington, Raiders, Browns and Bucs ALL winning???

Cuz, ya know... I sure didn't. After over-estimating the Eagles in Week one, I figured I was safe in Week 2 going with the Saints at home. NOPE. Out in TWO. Freaking hate survivor leagues. Have the worst luck.

This has definitely been a weird week-end. The Vegas Book is 8 wins out of 15 games going into Tonights contest! And I, personally, have only picked 5 Winners and that's very, very unusual for me!!
I thought I was on a roll picking Denver over KC! Then .. well .. How many out their Picked Dallas over Philly!?!
BAD WEEK!

I am concerned because Jenkins did it again. I am concerned because Foles was downright inaccurate against the Skins. I am concerned because Cook dropped everything thrown at him.

I am concerned that, not just part of the team fell apart but the entire team fell apart all in one game. Where was the defense that was supposed to hold the score close enough to give the offense a chance? Nobody was picking anybody up. No players were stepping up and making a difference to motivate others.

This was not the best team in football that the Rams played and it was not a team full of All pro players. It was amazing how the entire Rams roster didn't show up. I am still shaking my head in wonder.

 

[RAGRam]

Why I'm not worried: I've accepted that this is a 6 to 9 win team as long as Fisher is HC, no point getting worked up about it.

 

[ramsince62]

And I just saved 15% on my auto insurance

I went back on Xanax.

 

[ramsince62]

Yes it is. The O-line was the final piece, and this line is all his. His #1 pick is back next week, too, so it's time to be the team he's envisioned.

What position does Fisher play again?
