Good god, looking at some of the threads on the other "rams talk" you would think there were nuclear missiles launched and on the way. It was the first preseason game of the year. I missed most of the first half because I worked, but I went back and watched it after the game.
It was clear that the Rams were not game planning at all for this game. The Colts O-line held the Rams on nearly every play, and even then they were still getting some penetration. The Colts wanted this one a lot more than the Rams did, and it showed.
Sam looked OK, but the 4th down pass looked bad. The starting O didn't have enough time to gel. I remember Martz (I think it was him anyway) used to keep the starters in until they scored. Maybe Fisher should do that on games 2 and 3 in order to get some cohesiveness.
The defense definitely needs to play better. They have much more talent than was evident there. They were out of position on a few plays and it killed them. I hope that after a few more games together they'll look much more like the defense we all expected to see.
