Even all the rams fans were saying it was going to be an ass kicking after that TD pass to Hank, then like past skins teams our defesne just collapsed.

Yeah. I was starting to get comfy on the couch. Then we let 'em off the hook.

if it wasn't for morgan we would have only had to kick from the 40, which is a hell of a lot better than the 50.. But the defense let us down, Sam picked us apart.

[44 goes 50 gut]

I voted "Other" come on give the Rams some credit, they were fired up coming off a game they probably should have won, but didn't, and Sam Bradford had the best game of his career, it doesn't help the Skins that the Rams media and fans have spent the last week lamenting trading the RGIII pick, and insinuating that Bradford is a bust.

Basically through no fault of the Skins, the rams were ultra fired up, and extra motivated.

The D gave up too many points, but they pay the other guys to play too, and the fact is, the D made a lot of plays.

A LOT OF PLAYS.

The only "scape goat" is Snyderatto, yes three years later (and probably for a couple years to come)... For leaving Shanahan with a ultra thin defense who's best starters were Laron Musclehead "I pick da weight up, and I put da weight down" Landry and Carlos "oh cheating on the eye chart isn't a good idea you say? So I should get contacts? Okay new team, I'll do that, but first let me talk crap about my last team that I was stealing pay checks from" Rodgers.

When a 5th round pick from last year, and the Ravens Ex-2nd string CB are better than anyone left from the Snyderatto "era" you know who your scape goat is. I know it's hard for some fans to fathom how decisions made further back than the last draft and free agent signing period could possible effect the team today... But hey if it's any consolation, Vinny and Danny ALSO couldn't fathom that anything past the next draft and free agency were important either... But I guess that's not much consolation. Sorry.

I think it's way past time to be blaming Vinny.

Allen and Shanahan have had 3 offseasons now to rebuild the team. It's their regime and their team now.

But the proof is just right there plain as the nose on your face... The secondary is thin as hell and the starters are mostly pretty bad, meanwhile they have had basically zero real chance to upgrade the starters (considering they've addressed so many other areas of the team) and are still forced to employ guys like Hall and Doughty.

3 offseasons is an eternity to fans, but this isn't Madden franchise mode.

huge mistake not resigning Carlos, but I believe it was the scheme vs the talent yesterday.

Plus Bradford looks like a different QB, he looks like the real deal the first 2 weeks of the season.

Before we crown Bradford, Hasslettusdown loves turning mediocre players into first ballot HOFer's.

Can you not see the guys Skillset? I presume you watched him at least three times in the three Skins vs Rams game he's appeared in? Even if you've never seen another Rams highlight you should be able to see his obvious talent.

Before we got RG3 I would have killed to have Bradford under center here.

He's not a scrub.

Weak. Whoever came up with that nickname is trying too hard.

Let's not forget that Sam Bradford was the first pick of the draft a few years ago. He is a talented guy who has nothing around him.

(Rodgers subject Taken up in the secondary thread) Agree on Bradford, he was playing with a chip on his shoulder after his sophomore slump, and all the Rams media and forums talk centered around lamenting RGIII. Bad timing for the Skins... Simple as that.

Rams fans got a very good QB, but like Skins fans they didn't want to wait a couple years before they start making judgments...

I'm not buying it, sorry. 3 offseasons has been enough time for them to almost completely turn over the roster. At this point blaming Vinny who last made a decision for this team in 2009 rings a little hollow to me.

*shrug* well I disagree, probably take this aspect of the discussion up in the newly posted secondary thread so I don't derail here.
