blame the officers, not the soldiers

this is the oldest damn refrain in the world and goes back to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.

In football terms, it usually manifests as "you can't fire the players."

stop pretending that the Panthers are a super bowl winner with just five new white dudes in head sets. It's the easy way out. the optimistic way out. In many ways, the cowards way out.

embrace the shittiness. Revel in it. Make it yours.

but stop pretending one man can fix everything right away.

sweet got any more useless platitudes i want to start my new bumper sticker business

it is the truth. Replace Fox w/ a good head coach and the change will be significant. Fox has always been a DC pretending to be a HC. It has caught up to him.

A HC that gives a damn could fix this team.

Fox was cracking jokes and laughing at them in his post-game press conference - that shows you where his head is at... he's checked out and could give a f**k at this point.

Of all the cost-saving measures, keeping a lame duck HC around is the one that bothers me the most, because it has poisoned the entire team.

new HC and coaching staff that doesn't suck

a GM that doesn't suck

an Oline that doesn't suck/get hurt all the time/doesn't take half a season to gel

DEs capable of a pass rush

DTs that don't suck

a secondary that doesn't suck

WR corps that aren't too old or who don't suck

a QB who doesn't suck.

these few things might make the team suck less. fixing just a couple of them won't turn things around. good thing we don't have (m)any huge long term contracts left.

team can actually rebuild after this year. hopefully it won't be anther crappy underachieving team.

      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.
