Thursday Night Preview: Steelers at Rams - (12/18)

It’s been a short and disappointing week for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the St. Louis Rams going into Thursday’s game at the Dome. Pittsburgh lost 29-22 last week to the Jaguars in the snow at Heinz Field. That’s right. A team built for rough weather lost to a Florida team, at home, in the snow. [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 17 - (12/17)

A Rams loss and a 49ers win gave the Rams jockeying position for the 2008 draft. As it stands now, the Dolphins will almost certainly lock up the top spot; after collecting its first win of the season, 22-16 over Baltimore in overtime, Miami’s record stands at 1-13. The Jets, Falcons and Rams all have three wins, [...]

Rams-Packers Running Diary - (12/16)

I realize that I’ve been MIA for the last week or so, but I have a semi-valid excuse: five comprehensive finals. It was a rough stretch, but now that that’s all over with, I can get to the real tough times: watching the Rams play the Packers. What better way to make up for absence than [...]

Bulger Will Start, Lose - (12/14)

The good news for Sunday’s game against the Packers at the Ed is that Marc Bulger will be in the starting lineup. The bad news is that it won’t make much difference. The Pack is cruising at 11-2. A win on Sunday coupled with a Seattle loss will give Green Bay the No. 2 NFC seed for [...]

It Could Always Be Worse - (12/12)

Half the team is in the hospital, the record is 3-10 and fast deteriorating, and the coach isn’t the best coach out there. But it could be worse, Rams fans, because the coach isn’t the worst coach out there either. No, that distinction goes to Bobby Petrino, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons, who signed a contract with [...]

Linehan Stays Put - (12/11)

It’s official. Despite the 0-8 start to the season, despite the obvious play-calling and strategy blunders during games, and despite being downright awful all season long, the Rams and coach Scott Linehan will be together next year. In one way, this decision is understandable. The injuries weren’t Linehan’s fault. Leonard Little, Marc Bulger, Steven Jackson (for [...]

Rams Football Physics - (12/07)

I apologize for the long break from my last post, but I have been very busy this week feverishly trying to read a book called The Fabric of the Cosmos for a biology class. The book explores some crucial ideas in today’s world of physics (yes, I am quite the science geek). Because we all [...]

Looking back at the Rams? draft - (12/07)

It’s no secret that the Rams have had some drafting woes in the past. This year’s rookie class - with the exception of Adam Carriker and Clifton Ryan inside - has also proved to be fairly lackluster. Given opportunities to get on the field with a cascade of Rams injuries, most of these rookies haven’t been [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 16 - (12/04)

The Rams came away with an ugly 28-16 win over the Falcons Sunday, improving their record to 3-9 overall. Meanwhile, down in San Antonio, my (formerly) #1 Mizzou Tigers crumbled to the Oklahoma Sooners, 38-17. Seems like two completely unrelated events, right? Think again - these Tigers are the Rams. Allow me to clarify. Both these teams [...]

Eating Crow - (12/02)

The Rams game is in the third quarter as I write, and it is obviously time for me to eat crow. Gus Frerotte is having a career day. So far, he is 17 of 24 for 260 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no picks. He has been sacked only once. Steven Jackson is having an extremely subpar day, [...]

Rams-Falcons: Does Anyone Care? - (12/01)

Not particularly, no. Sunday’s St. Louis-Atlanta game will feature two of the worst teams in the NFL, each battling to climb back up to “mediocre” status. Normally, this game would get some attention from the media as it would provide a potent source for jokes and wry comparisons to the much more anticipated Green Bay-Dallas game [...]

Rams? bust against Seattle no exception - (11/28)

It’s no secret that the Rams’ loss to Seattle Sunday was a dud. We’ve already seen articles putting the blame for the loss on Gus Frerotte’s shoulders (not all unjustifiably) and fans calling for Scott Linehan’s head. Yes, it was a truly disheartening game and may indeed be the nail in the coffin that gets Linehan [...]

Bruce and Holt: Truly Ageless? - (11/28)

Rams fans suffering through this debacle of a season generally have to deal with another injury in addition to the on-field blowouts: FOX always sticks its worst announcer teams on Rams games, because nobody outside Rams nation is really interested anymore. Sunday was no different, with J. C. Pearson and Matt Vasgersian routinely missing plays, [...]

Throwing Our Support - (11/27)

In the field of journalism, there are very few times when a writer has the ability to directly affect the outcomes of the games, situations and events he or she covers. In fact, by the very definition and nature of our job, we are required to remove ourselves from action. It’s a tough fact to learn, [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 15 - (11/26)

The Rams are giving a new face to futility. Yes, the Dolphins may now be 0-11, but surely there was no more depressing game in football this weekend than Sunday’s tough loss to the Seahawks. (Condolences and a consolation prize to the Arizona Cardinals faithful.) If you were lucky enough to miss the Rams’ embarrassing loss, just [...]

Fire Frerotte - (11/26)

I’m sorry for the timing of this post, but I have been busy today with an undoable English paper. Following the Rams’ awful 24-19 loss to the Seahawks that officially eliminated them from NFC West division title contention, there are only a few observations I can make: 1. Gus Frerotte needs to go. Yes, he had an [...]

Rams-?Hawks: Dare We Believe? - (11/23)

The Rams are on a tear — sort of — coming into Sunday’s game against the Seahawks at the Ed. They have won two in a row. The offense is finally showing flashes of the brilliance we expected from it at the beginning of the season, although it isn’t perfect yet, especially in the later [...]

Looking Back on the Rams? 500 Victories - (11/22)

Sunday’s victory against the Whiners–I mean the Niners–was the Rams’ 500th regular-season victory all-time. Milestones like this are supposed to be accompanied by pomp and ceremony. The 500th victory is supposed to be a flashy, triumphant conquest of a major foe, a fond memory to look back upon until the 1000th victory comes along. The Rams’ [...]

The next reality show? Get these guys on the Rams! - (11/22)

A couple days ago, while waiting in line at a restaurant, I read a fantastic article in the Riverfront Times (a free, alternative local St. Louis paper for those not in the area) that listed a few personnel options that could help the Rams reach their full potential in 2008. Though I was quite pleased with [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 14 - (11/20)

The Rams are on a winning streak. You laugh, but who during the BYE week really saw the Rams winning their next two out of the gate? Perpetual optimists, be on alert: if the Rams keep up this tear, they may actually find themselves in the thick of the NFC West race. The NFC West title is like [...]

Rams to America: ?We?re not the worst? - (11/18)

In a game that wasn’t as close as the scoreboard made it out, the Rams beat the 49ers 13-9. It’s easy to blow this one off. Unable to build off last week’s impressive performance, the Rams’ offensive line yielded 6 sacks to a mediocre 49ers’ front. Despite a strong game by Steven Jackson (92 yards on [...]

Fantasy Rams prospects in week 11 - (11/17)

Not much news from the Rams lately, good or bad: Setterstrom rehabs his left knee, Hall should return, Bruce and Holt are both nearing milestones and the Rams are favorites for the first time in what seems years.   So as the Rams prepare for their game at San Francisco tomorrow, it seems an appropriate time to examine the Rams’ fantasy [...]

Four Legs Good, Vol. 13 - (11/13)

It’s been two days since the Rams’ win over the Saints, and I’m still giddy. Yes, we’re still 1-8. Yes, we may not win another game this season. But I had almost forgotten what this feels like. And now I can at least go back to making fun of 49ers fans for the week. As we enter [...]

Rams take trip down memory lane, collect first win - (11/11)

It’s hard to pin-point exactly the best part of the Rams’ 37-29 win over the New Orleans Saints. There were just so many stories going on. Jeff Wilkins, in a year-long daze, kicked his 300th career field goal. Marc Bulger, still hurting, played his best football of the season and threw his 100th career touchdown pass. [...]

Hapless Rams face suddenly hot Saints - (11/09)

Today, I’m delighted to post a guest column by my good friend Punit Vachharajani. Punit and I have talked Rams football for a long time, so I have a twofold pleasure in introducing you all to him: he’s taken care of a game preview, my absolute least favorite type of column to write, and he’ll [...]
