Which is what I am about to do. I understand all of the good moves he has made. He was very instrumental in our playoff pushes. But to give up a high draft pick in the first round for 2nd round DE is in my opinion, the worst move he could ever make. He gambled last year and won. I know I am beating a dead horse, but I felt the need to sound off because I get over what a dumb move he made. not to mention our horrible offseason. I hope the 49ers sent him a thank you card for the 7th overall pick in the 2010 draft. thats all. rant over.

I swear get over it man. Just focus on this and next year. We will be okay next year, boohhoo we dont' have a first round pick... well saves up money, just wait a year or two and see if Brown has any impact or not. Tired of hearing the same crap over and over again.

If you're tired of hearing the complaining, leave. It will never stop. Maybe if we can put together a string of winning seasons like New England and Indianapolis have done it would. And I always love you, "it'll will be fine" optimists. The ones that said that in the preseason have all turned sour (hi, rayzor!). This is the NFL, it's about right now, not "a year or two" and "we'll save up money". This ain't college. Hurney made the Brown move to win now, no matter how you people want to spin it.

Really there are alot of factors that make us sucktastic this year and no one man is to blame. Coaching,Players,Contracts take your pick man. If there was a year of bad and weird decisions made it was this year. On top of all that we have had a injury plagued year to boot. Not that is any excuses and I think its the opposite when a team is winning they have less injures then a team that is just fighting for a WIN. Still Kemo,Davis, and Gross are gone.... Thats a big hit if you ask me and thats just the major guys. Tell you the truth who ever pulls the stings in our offenses is one of the worst coaches ever...... One week we run next we pass then another we just decide that a 14pt lead over the most powerful offensive team in the league is enough. Just crazy if you ask me..... Oh but we can still be 10-6 if we try ;)

So in this thread, I guess Fox is a genius for winning at all because Hurney sucks. In others Fox needs to be fired because he can't win with the wealth of talent that Hurney has provided him.

Got it. :)

I've been saying this about the average huddler for years.

Ill give credit. He's had alot of hits in the draft. He's also had alot of misses in the 2nd round on down. He's also had alot of free agent busts. Hurney should be given credit for some of the solid things he's done over the years. But he deserves to be scrutinized for the horrible offseason we just had after trading a 1st round pick for a 2nd round talent and for giving the worst QB in the NFL $20 million.

The decision to draft Brown was a good one. The bad decision was allowing Peppers to tie us down. He did more to hurt this team than anyone. You could blame Hurney for not trying to deal Peppers before the trading deadline last year. But Peppers limit on who he would play for really tied our hands. The Brown pick IMO was incase we somehow got a taker for Peppers. I like the pick and I think in the end we will be laughing we got him in the 2nd round.

Didn't he come out a year early too?

Don't be offended. I ask everybody this. If you really believe tying up 17 mill for Peppers was a bad move, who would you have spent that money on? WHo was out there that was available for us to sign that you think would have helped us?

Not offended at all.

DEPTH. WR, Albert Haynesworth, there were a ton of players we could have improved with. We lost most of our experienced backups on the offensive line. Boldin was to be had. We did NOTHING in the F.A. market. Peppers clearly tied our hands in the F.A. market. You think paying Peppers 1m a week for the regular season is worth what he has given us. He has played well but for that kind of money he should be in the QB's pocket every play.

You have your opinion and I have mine. Had we dealt Peppers or signed him to a reasonable deal we would have funds to tap the F.A. market for help.

I believe had we had money we would have brought in a Veteran WR to compliment Smitty. This year we will.

Go Panthers

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
