Rams give up again


By Andy - Posted on 28 September 2008

Even though they played much better today through the first three quarters, they buckled again. Much like last season where they only ever played good football for two or three quarters, they returned to that form this week.

Up by a point after two quarters, the offense turtled in the second half. Run on first down, run on second down, pass, punt. I guess Linehan thought 14 points was enough to beat the Bills. In most NFL games this is not true and it proved to be true today as well.

Someone please tell me why, down by 14 on a third-and-1, they run a pitch play? Steven Jackson is a straight ahead runner, he hasn't been getting to the edge all season.

Scott Linehan is a terrible coach. He never makes good adjustments in the second half. Opponents seem to be able to make adjustments to whatever the Rams had been doing well in the first half. Why don't the Rams? It has to be about the coaching, or lack thereof.

Now the announcers are saying that the team pictures were canceled last week. One has to wonder if this is an omen of the firing(s) that every Rams fan is hoping for. Why take a team picture with a soon to be fired head coach and GM?

One can only hope...
