Given our division and our managements attitude, my expectation is not very high for next year.I see us losing some talented players to free agency and a number 1 pick in a draft that really does not have a player worthy of the first pick.Thanks to Hurney and company we do not have a number 2 pick.Riveria may be the best coach in the world but I do not see us pulling out of the cellar of the NFC South.The only positive is we still have a shot for Luck but we will have to wait another year.I have heard all the "its only Clausens first year with a shitty OC and OL but given that he does not have a strong enough or accurate arm to have defenses shaking in their boots.

The only thing that would change my mind at this point is JR spending some money and get some playmakers.

Can we at least wait until free agency before we start making predictions? And if there is no free agency at least wait for the draft. How can you tell what we will do when we know nothing about how the roster will look next season. Did you think Kansas city had any chance of making the playoffs over San Diego this time last year??? Let's just relax and see what happens.

The point was more than a prediction.The point was given our needs at many positions if JR does not change his attitude torwards FAs it will take much less time to build a winning team as opposed to the draft.

What attitude are you referring too? Has he implied at any point that he wouldn't spend the money necessary to make the team better. If you want him to sign a bunch of aging vets to huge contracts then don't hold your breath...that's not how they do business and rightfully so.

Face the fact guys - we're going to be in last place in NFS South again. There's no way around it with everyone else enjoying their own frachise QB. We don't have one. Let's build up the D and O line and draft OUR QB next year. We have one more year of misery (at least) and I doubt there's any way around it.

I don't think we'll have worst record in the league so I doubt we get Luck next year but from what I'm hearing the QB draft class will be better next year.

Plus don't forget - we've all read that Panthers brass still have high hopes for Clausen. Hell I was scared we wouldn't draft Luck so I seriously doubt we draft a QB this year.

Fairley is our guy - almost guarantee.

      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.
