There’s no accounting for those pesky Rams. In a divisional matchup against the undefeated Arizona Cardinals, the St. Louis Rams sure made their mark early. From the opening kickoff all the way to the final whistle, the Rams made sure the NFC West-leading Cardinals knew: anything short of their absolute best wouldn’t be good enough.…
New week, new hope, same old gimmicks. And same old results. In a game that the St. Louis Rams kept competitive until the final whistle — against all odds — the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up on the winning side of the score, 12-6. As is the case with most low-scoring games, this one was definitely…
If the St. Louis Rams are even half as prepared to rebound from last weekend’s loss as the fans are, then Pittsburgh is going to have a rough time on Sunday. I think it’s a fair statement to say that most of us are pretty tired of trying to figure out what went so wrong…
Last week, when I started this series by examining quarterback Nick Foles’ masterful use of the deep ball in game one, I introduced it by saying I’d be “focusing on one area of strength from the previous game and breaking down why and how it was so impactful.” My fault for getting too enthused too early.…
So much for that unbridled enthusiasm, eh? It’s hard to fault this fanbase for being so damn bi-polar when they look like world-beaters one week and a middling NCAA squad the next. That was the case this week, with the Rams dropping what should have been a gimme game against the sad-sack Washington Redskins.…
On Wednesday, we took a look at Washington’s offence ahead of this Sunday’s matchup between the Redskins and the Rams. Today, we’ll be honing in on their defensive unit to see how quarterback Nick Foles and company might exploit it. Injuries were a big factor in the Redskins’ 17-10 loss to Miami last Sunday, depleting…
Well, as far as season openers go, I don’t think it would’ve been possible to script a more interesting game than that. The Rams’ 34-31 overtime win over the division rival Seahawks came with pretty much every hallmark we’ve come to expect from the team over the past year — bend-but-don’t-break defensive stops, timely and…
The Rams finally got their guy… if their guy really was “their guy.” The Rams announced today that former quarterbacks coach Frank Cignetti Jr. will take over the offensive coordinator duties for the squad from St. Louis, who will be looking to bounce back from another abysmal offensive season buoyed by a lack of consistency…
A team that defied expectations against good teams, baffled prognosticators and dropped winnable games against inferior opponents. A team that looked promising down the stretch, led by a semi-capable backup QB, before ultimately fading once the games lost meaning. A team surrounded by more questions than answers, a fan base surrounded by relocation rumours, discontent…
Just when you think they’re done, they find a way to pull you back in. In what’s increasingly becoming a Rams team with two identities, the latter showed up on Sunday, delivering all-around dominance in a 52-0 drubbing of the one-win Oakland Raiders. Don’t let the quality (or lack thereof) of the opponent detract from…
