Well im officially out on the rams this season. No point in watching a piss poor product when other teams are actually trying to compete.

Well I'm officially out on the rams this season. No point in watching a piss poor product when other teams are actually trying to compete.

Interesting how different fans respond and look at things.

The disappointment and frustration of this brutal season may actually result in me watching less of my favorite sport. However, I will watch every play of the Rams' season. I may not look forward to it; and, probably, will not enjoy much of it ... but ... I will watch.

Just the way I look at things. No right and wrong. As a lifetime, die-hard Rams' fan, I feel like it's my responsibility. Also feel like I have experienced it All ... super-highs, awful-lows (short-term and long-term for both), bad teams expected to be good, terrific teams out-of-nowhere.

For me, enduring the bad seasons (and this one is up-there), makes the good ones even more satisfying.

I am only this way with the Rams and the NFL. It's a little insane but I also do volunteer work.

I’m honestly worried that this last weekend was Aaron Donald’s last in the NFL… it was hard enough to get him back this year. It’s got to suck being that dominant and being double and triple teamed every down. There can’t be any fun in that. I hope not, and sure as hell hope not, but damn. It’s been a freaking amazing 6 years! Minus this one and hopefully we can keep rolling and I’m wrong! We still have an amazing core. Just need to start preparing for next year.

If what we know about Aaron Donald the player and the competitor is true, there's no way he goes out after a season like this.

I think the Rams are systematically shutting down their best players and saving them for next season. It's the same philosophy that McVay uses in pre-season. Just watch, Ramsey will pull a hamstring next game.

My only problem is that even in the darkest years of Rams football, I could focus on one great Rams player and enjoy superior play, even if the team lost. Before it was Gurley and Donald….Now?

Evans - oops you meant great player not worst player

 

[fearsomefour]

Just sit him for the rest of the season. We're not going to win games anymore anyway.

Hard to see a win anywhere isn't it?
McVay and Snead are plotting the draft as we speak....laying out their list of undersized speed demon WRs and CBs they want to draft and not play.

Does soft coverage take Donald's effectiveness away?

If yes, why the hell would you run soft coverage when you have an Aaron Donald?

Ask Raheem Morris.

Sure as shit, none of us have figured it out...

Well im officially out on the rams this season. No point in watching a piss poor product when other teams are actually trying to compete.

I have been recording Ram games since October seeing the downward trend ......if I have the stomach & the desire to get I watch the games picking out young possibly promising Ram players who are on the field for the first time to single out. This offers me some entertainment on these 2022 Ram games. I am looking forward not backward to how Snead/McVay reconstructs this team into a possible playoff team in 2023 with what good players still remain under contract.

Wasting the valuable limited time I have on this earth on a present caliber NFL team is a serious form of mental disorder.

Evans - oops you meant great player not worst player

Seeing this Org. enter this 2022 season with Evans as his valued reserve should have given me a clue as to what was going to occur this season with this OL. I have to kudos to Evans ...he has proven he is a Super Ironman! unlike Noteboom, Allen, Anchrum & Shelton.

Been a good period of time (Five seasons) for you & me here where we have suffered thru seasons like this with so many other former past GM's & HC's. We had gotten used to winning often. Our schedule was impossible to overcome in comparison to i.e.the KC Chiefs.

I have not read or heard much from Snead now for months... have you?

Speaking for myself here ...My thought on Snead's last half-decade of 2nd day draft selections is very poor. His present resume IMO is damaged. Likewise so is McVay & his 2022 assembled coaching team. It's going to be interesting to see just how many of these coaches are promoted elsewhere, or hired elsewhere when this season concludes. Will other teams GM's see the injury excuse or not? I do think that their time as being recognized as top-tier NFL GM's & HC's is tainted.

A lot of player mysteries this season too on this team involving DB Jordan Fuller, DB Rob Rochell, TuTu Atwell, DB Quenton Lake, ER Daniel Hardy, DB Decobie Durant & DB Terrell Burgess (released & playing elsewhere).

The soft coverage clearly limits Donalds effectiveness in terms of collecting sacks.
Quick throws, QB not holding the ball, endless 2nd and 4's open up the whole play book etc.
I get the bend don't break concept.....but, it was based on having an offense that it stood to reason, would score 28 points a game or so.

Tutu of course.

You don’t have any idea what he will or will not do. Fans need to stop with the doom and gloom.

I agree with this. I will watch no matter what. I watched every game from 2005-now (that’s when I got Sunday ticket).

There are other reasons to watch. I get excited to see if any of the backups will step up. I’d like to see Rochelle, Durant, Yeast, Lake, Bobby Brown, Tutu, McCutcheon, etc…

I like to see if any of them have potential and I pray that the coaches use the time to honestly evaluate who can play, instead of just benching guys for whatever reason. Like, why is Rochelle and Durant not playing. Let Atwell show if he can play.

There are definitely reasons to watch.

I think the Rams are systematically shutting down their best players and saving them for next season. It's the same philosophy that McVay uses in pre-season. Just watch, Ramsey will pull a hamstring next game.

This was already posted on the previous page in a shared tweet.

It could be a good thing though. Maybe they get to see what some of these young guys can do. McVay has an odd way of just dismissing a player for whatever reason. Like why hasn’t Durant played, or Rochelle. Both showed signs of being capable.

Well, of course he'll retire AFTER this year.

Any other outcome would involve time travel.

 

[AvengerRam]

Well im officially out on the rams this season. No point in watching a piss poor product when other teams are actually trying to compete.

Officially? Is there some sort of registry for this, or a form you need to submit? And, is it revokable in the event of an unlikely turnaround?

Asking for a friend.

I disagree with that completely.

That is hardly your only problem!
