The Rams are really bad


By Andy - Posted on 22 September 2008

As you may or may not know, I am a Rams fan. Yes, the St. Louis Rams. Yes, they still play in the NFL.

(Are you done laughing yet? Okay.)

I don't know why I'm saying this or even what it could possibly accomplish. I guess it's sort of like a confession, I feel better just admitting it.

I hope you are enjoying your NFL team's performance this year. You probably are if you're not a Rams, Lions, Chiefs, or Raiders fan. The Dolphins even got a win! Aaaaaaah, catharsis. Yes, that's it. This is the part where you can feel better about yourself knowing just how much tragedy I am enduring.

That's exactly what the Rams franchise is now, a tragedy. From the heights of their Super Bowl win in 2000 to the lows of 2008, a tragedy of epic proportions. Created by the inept management of absentee president John Shaw and the incompetent Jay Zygmunt.

My only hope: New owner Chip Rosenbloom grows a pair and axes Jay Zygmunt and Scott Linehan. Sooner rather than later. I'll probably have to endure watching the Bills shellacking my poor Rams next Sunday before Linehan gets the axe however. Hopefully I can be a gracious loser in front of the Wife.

You may or may not have seen by now that Trent Green is starting next week instead of Bulger.

Yup, and I have my doubts whether or not it will actually achieve any positive results.

If the offensive line can keep him on his feet long enough I suspect he'll do a better job at finding the recievers that are getting open on the intermediate and long routes.

Bulger is shellshocked and his throwing mechanics are in the toilet. He's got happy feet and throwing off his back foot more often than not.

So, theoretically, even a fragile Trent Green is going to be more effective because he's looking down field and not at the oncoming rush.
