Seriously, part of me thinks RamzFanz is an earnest fan who's excited about his rebuilding team, but part of me thinks he's just a troll. In his last 16-game season, Brian Quick had 302 yards. Last year, the best of his career, he had 375 yards in 7 games. If you extrapolate that out to 16 games it comes to 857 yards.

Tavon Austin is a fine punt returner. But as a WR he has never managed more than 418 yards in a season.

Kenny Britt has been in the league for 7 years and has never managed more than 775 yards in a season.

And Stedman Bailey has managed the incredible achievement of 435 yards in a season.

Chris Givens had 698 yards three years ago and has gone downhill every year since.

Not one of the Rams WRs, in their BEST season, has ever performed as well as Michael Floyd did last year (841 yards, 6 TDs), in what was considered by many to be a disappointing season for him... let alone even approached the 1041 yards Floyd had in 2013. And Floyd is the Cardinals' de-facto #3 WR!

The Rams offense is DEAD LAST in the league, 117 yards per game behind the Cardinals' O, and they've scored 50 points on the ENTIRE SEASON - barely more than the Cardinals have scored in EACH of their last two games.

This entire thread is a joke. Everyone deserves to be excited and optimistic about his favorite team, but RamzFanz has apparently drunk an entire keg of Rams Kool-Aid. Anything can happen on any given day in the NFL, but at this point nobody is going to change anyone's expectations, so continuing to "debate" this is essentially just feeding a troll.

...dave

Without taking the three seconds to google it, but haven't the Rams scored 43 points on the season, which is less than we scored last week?

I just got a warning over there for saying that Fisher is a loser....meaning that he has a losing record as a head coach. They don't tolerate any negative talk about the Rams.

We should enjoy the feisty posters like RamzFanz.

After they move to L.A. they'll have a lot of laid-back fans who say things like, "Dude. Rams are totally going to win." And that will be it because they're on their way to the beach and don't want bad vibes messing up their day.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a Rams Fan until after the STL Cardinals are eliminated from the MLB post season.

IMO when they move to LA they are going to get the gangster fan base again and be worse than the 49ers when they come to town.

I remember rams home games where the old LA fans come out with their wife beaters, locs sunglasses and rams tattoos trying to punk everyone they look at.

I don't think he was a troll. I think he's a Tango-esque Rams fan, who probably sees EVERY part of the Rams in the most positive light possible.

I mean, there were threads YEARS ago when this team was AWFUL that Tango started about going to opposing boards and telling them how great this team really was despite their record and how they were going to learn about it that Sunday.

Sure, both of them were delusional, but it seemed like he really believed what he was saying. Most crazy people do.

I think Cheese is right; RamzFanz seemed incapable of understanding that we don't think the Rams are very good.

I miss Tango. Some of the snarky jokes played on him by posters on this board are some of the greatest comedy gold ever.

lol, what a spectacle this has turned in to ... I love their main defense "the Cards haven't played anyone good" ... yes, and that trend won't end this weekend either. as far as you guys going into their thread to try and defend the Cards.. a lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep. what's the point? they are arguing for a 6 win team at best. ridiculous.

One of their posters said it best "we'll make them sore on monday!" lol, if you can't win, find something to "beat us" at.

we'll be eased by 4-0

enjoy LA

Posters on this board have accused the moderators of being too sensitive when banning opposing fans.

Well, those guys got really mad that I said "Fisher is a loser with the Rams".

Memo to Rams fans: Fisher is a loser; he has lost more games than he has won.

They look at Fisher in a similar fashion to how most of this board viewed Whisenhunt, even though we gave Whisenhunt the benefit of the doubt because he nearly won a championship. Fisher has lost every year he has coached the Rams. They are seemingly getting worse.

I love this forum, love the Cardinals, and love football. Been watching football since I was a kid in the early 70s, and have watched full games from much earlier decades on YouTube. YouTube has some great, just great, full games from much earlier eras. One of my favorites is the game in '60 when Chuck Bednarik almost killed Frank Gifford. There are others.

Football is a great sport. Brought my dad and I together when I was younger and again when I was much older after much strain between us.

But I never felt the need to go to another forum and pick on the fans of a ****ty team.

Talking crap like that is meant for your buddies over a few beers when they support another team during a game.

As fans of one of the historically worst franchises in football, we should show more class. If they come on here it's cool, but why go look for it.

As an aside, if you're an NFL fan, go watch some old YouTube, and other, videos of really old games, the announcing is...very different. Frequent dead air time, but my god, they knew football and talked about line shifts and technique, formations, and skill. They never mention who someone is dating or what they said in public, they talk about the game and skill.

Tango was/is a hoot.

I have to say however, part of me wonders what That-Former-Poster-Troll-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named would be saying today about the state of the current Cards organization.

He's too busy masturbating to pics of Belicheck and Brady to know what is going on anywhere else in the NFL.

That's the one thing know will happen but wished it wouldn't. It will be just another Raiders type game when UofP will have to beef up security.

Why is Jeff Fisher given a spot on the competition committee? Shouldn't he, you know, be able to field a competitive team before he can speak to such a thing with any credibility?



:D


Or at least not hire coaches who bribe players to hurt the opposing QBs.

This game really is a must win for the Rams. Lose it and you are already basically 4 behind in the division at week 4 (3 behind +tie breaker)

If they lose, their season is already over.

Especially if you consider that 10 wins is an absolute must for a wildcard.

Lose this, and they have to go 9-3. Yikes.

Even if Jeff Fisher can figure your math , he still has to out strategy a Coach named Bruce Arians .

Honestly, this guy should be unbanned if only for a couple hours to let him rub it in our faces, which we all deserve.

He was spot on about what would happen in this game.
