Fun fact, the LA Rams still haven't scored since December 1994.

And the streak goes on

[Angel Oracle]

Rookie WRs Pharoah Cooper and Nelson Spruce "might" play this Sunday.    Brian "no hands" Quick is no doubt getting nervous. 

[tdawg87]

I mean they tried their best to lose but a win is a win. Especially in Tampa.

[Jay]

Nice win for the Rams.

[Angel Oracle]

Side note to an important win:   Goff suited up and Mannion didn't.   First step towards eventually starting?

Keenum was not as good as a week ago, only 14-26 with a stupid ill-advised/mixup pick 6, although for 190 yards and 2 TDs.

Gurley finally got somewhat off the schnide, 51 yards on 11 carries after starting off with 16 carries for only 34 yards.  

Quick actually caught a long TD pass, without dropping it.   Progress!!!!

The 1st place Los Angeles Rams 

[Angel Oracle]

Both Cooper and Spruce have been full practice participants, and finally will make their reg season debuts on Sunday?

Hayes hasn't practiced yet this week, sounds doubtful?

Does Goff suit up again as #2 QB? 

[Caralho]

3 in a row for the Rams, if the offense improves they could have a winning record this year, the defense and special teams are pretty good.

[Angel Oracle]

Keenum has gotten it done the past 3 weeks, 50-86 for close to 700 yards, 4 TDs, and 1 INT.

Are teams going to continue to key on Gurley runs all season?   He burned Arizona with 5 receptions out of the backfield.

Brian Quick has 3 TD receptions over the past 2 games.   How many had that bet going?   Much better than the WR with the Dropsys version of the past.

Austin finally breaks a critical punt return late in the game, after breaking a short pass into a long TD the week before.  He needs to show that same explosion as the season progresses.

Defense bent, but didn't break.   The TOs ratio win the game, plain and simple.

The MNF opening game disaster seems like eons ago, now.

Part of the 3-1 record is smoke and mirrors, but I'll certainly take it!

[Tank]

with how poorly they played in recent years, this is a very fun thing to watch right now. not expecting it to last, but will ride the momentum for as long as it lasts. like what i've seen from them and feel encouraged for the future.

[Angel Oracle]

One mea culpa on Fisher:  WTF was he doing challenging two 2nd half calls that were pretty easy to see?   Losing two timeouts when the plays were pretty certain of not being overturned, was pretty foolish.   Fortunately, the Rams didn't need any 2nd half timeouts.

[Caralho]

The team also commits way too  many penalties and that's going to burn them soon if it's not fixed.

[nando714]

Go buffalo!!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Tyrod Taylor is a handful to contain, McCoy is still racking up rush yardage, and the defense did shut out the Pats.  Bills might finally have a post-season team that can do a little damage.

Props to Rex Ryan!  Well, except for his unintended putdown of Aaron Donald two years ago

[Lou]

nice call, Jeffy.

Keenum was solid, aside from the one crucial pick 6.   Without that, the game goes down to the wire.

He's been fine after the first game.

Gurley on the other hand....

That was pretty lame on #firefisher's part.    Three timeouts still left, 4 min to play, and back at their own 23?

Even if Buffalo gets a 1st down after the punt, the Rams still could have gotten the ball back with about 2 min to play.

They do need their DL to get healthy fast.   As decent as LeSean McCoy is, he isn't 18 carries/150 yards good.

Someone pleaseee put out an APB on Gurley. 

[Angel Oracle]

I predicted to myself a high scoring game.   

Keenum was automatic until that interception to seal the loss.

Keenum the past 5 games >>>>>> opening game Keenum.

Only problem is not having Johnson, Quinn, and Hayes available.  The defense suffered accordingly.   That loss hurt!

[tdawg87]

This team is basically fucked unless they make some drastic changes to the personnel. Fisher needs to go, for starters. It's the same shit every single year. Looking like yet another 7-9 season. 

[bloodbrother]

Not sure what continuing to trot out Keenum is doing for the Rams other than helping Fisher accomplish another 7-9 season under his belt. There's no upside here. Goff should be starting for the remainder of the season at this point

[tdawg87]

BTW Keenum has overstayed his welcome. Time to go Goff or bust. 

[nando714]

Did fisher sign that extension yet lol

[Tank]

i think i'm ready to throw goff out there and see what happens. of course, if they don't improve the OL, he's in for as much trouble as keenum.

[Tank]

i'm still trying to figure out that final play the rams had, where either the receiver didn't run the right route, or keenum didn't throw to the correct spot. they looked pretty decent on that drive until that idiocy.

[bloodbrother]

That was on the WR for the miscommunication
