Rams Future Uncertain

With free agency coming and salarie cap considerations the future appears uncertain. Throw a coaching change the future becomes even more uncertain. I can not guess how the Rams will next year. My main concern would be the new coach. Will the Rams go after someone who could make a change or go on the cheap. You can have all the talented players, but if you don't have a coach to lead them than forget it. I guess also if you don't have the players and a good coach, but ownership (such as they have now) you might as well blow the season. We won't know until after the season.

Vitt Take the Blame

Vitt took the blame on Monday for the teams slide. He made some positive statements about the Rams. Saying the work hard and that he shouldn't have pushed them on fourth and short yardage. When he had so, they ended they ended loosing. Example: The lead the Forty-Niners 20-17 only to loose the game after failing fourth and two. Vitts said he should have gone for the points.
One wonders if he taking the blame for Martz?

Could This Faulk's Last Year?

Faulk's future

The Forty-Niners 24, The Rams 20

The Rams loose to the Forty-Niners.

Jamie Martin threw for a career-best 354 yards against a decimated 49ers secondary and the Rams led 20-7 late in the first half. They were mistake-prone the rest of the way, losing for the sixth time in seven games overall and their fourth straight time at home.
At 3-5, they finished with their first losing record at home since 1998. That's also the last time they lost at home to the 49ers.
"I feel like we embarrassed the city of St. Louis," wide receiver Isaac Bruce said. "Today wasn't a good day for us."

Martz Cleared to Coach

Martz could be back on Jan 1st against Dallas. He may also be bought out of contract.

The Rams are expected to reach a settlement with the coach, who has one year remaining on a three-year contract and is due $3.25 million. Martz has clashed with the front office all season and likely would seek a head coaching job elsewhere in the NFL.
John Hadley, a spokesman for Martz, confirmed that the coach had been cleared by his physician. Interim coach Joe Vitt is expected to coach the final regular-season game at Dallas on Jan. 1.

The question: Will he coach the Rams against Dallas?

The Eagles 14 Rams 13

The Rams loose their fifth under Vitt. The Rams dropped another in a lackluster game against Phili. Neither team shined.
Two more to go.

A positive note: Steve Jackson hit the 100o yards.

Faulk Gets Record for Recieving

One bright spot from last Sunday's game. Congrats Marshall and thank you for workhorse and unselfish play.

Bruce moved past Hall of Famer Charlie Joiner for 10th place
in NFL history with 12,181 yards and caught his 800th career pass.

One of the most versatile and skilled running backs in NFL history,
it has been a difficult season for Faulk, who declined interview requests
after the game.

Rams loose other one

The Rams loose another one under Joe Vitt. The Rams stand at 5 and 8 with definately no hope for the playoffs. Oh well.

The Rams Look for A Balance Attack

With Bulger and Martin out, the Rams face the fact they can't survive by the pass along. Maybe the last two months might bring a bright future for the Rams. In away it put an end to the past. What do I hope for? Not having to make comebacks in almost every game. It might make good vidio highlights and once in awhile, it can be a good thing. But, almost every game, can be a sign of some serious problems. Like not being able to take a lead and control it. A sign of poor defense. Next wish would be for a good and solid defense. One that can stop the run and put pressure on quarterbacks. The third wish would be for good lines on both defense and offense. A line that wrecks havoc on opposing teams' offenses, and a line that cannot only protect a quarterback, but open holes for Faulk and Jackson. The last wish would be to both Jackson and Faulk in the same back field. A new front office and owners would be nice too.

Possibly a new Coach

A possible new coach stood on the sidelines yesterday.

Rams Loose

The Rams barring a miracle dropped out of playoff contention.

Fitzpatrick Could Start

New quarterback against Washington

St. Louis Rams interim coach Joe Vitt has been coy all week about whether rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick earned his first career start.
But it was telling on Wednesday when the rookie from Harvard, and not veteran Jamie Martin, met with the media, usual the duty for the No. 1 quarterback. And Fitzpatrick was taking snaps with the first unit while Martin, who had a concussion and blurred vision after absorbing a blow in the first quarter of last week's overtime victory at Houston, watched in sweat clothes.
Regardless of Martin's status it's been more or less an open secret around Rams Park that Fitzpatrick, a favorite of Mike Martz's since he drafted Fitzpatrick in the seventh round, will get the nod this week against the Redskins. And why not? It's tough to bench the NFC offensive player of the week.
Fitzpatrick threw for 310 yards in three quarters and got the Rams (5-6) to overtime with a pair of scores in the final half-minute before throwing the winning touchdown pass to beat the Texans. His yardage is the third highest by an NFL quarterback in his first game.
