I just shake my head that we're that bad on offense. Pittsburg is know for offense more than defense. Their defense is average at best. Yet they totally dominated our offense. I'd like to say it was just a bad day, but I think what we saw today is what we have.

I know Fisher ain't worried about his job. He knows a losing season almost guarantees a move. And he knows Stan will take a losing season for that. But dang, year after year after year after year we have this pathetic offense and losing team. I know we need to just hang in there another year, but what makes anyone think they'll turn it around under Fisher?

They haven't done it the previous 3 years. Doesn't look like this is the year. So we're supposed to believe year 5 is the year? I don't see it.

We have loved and watched a bad team for years. The thing that is different this year is the fact that we are not bad. We are just losing.

There is no way we should have lost this game even based on the part I watched - which was the end. I got to the game when Ben was being carted out. NO WAY we should have lost that.

I'm gonna have to go back to my summer opinion that 2015 is a lost year to a 2016 winning LA Rams season.

Its just an opinion of mine. Quick's first two years it seemed he just couldn't grasp an NFL offense. If it wasn't for his ability to block on running plays I doubt he woulda been active on game days much, Possibly even facing a cut. It sure felt to me like he just wasn't that sharp mentally. But last year something clicked and he started playing like the guy they hoped they would get when they drafted him so high. Then the injury happened.

So here we are a year later and it appears his issues are not about his health. I gotta think again he can't grasp an NFL offense. I know its supposed to be similar to what he's familiar with. But its not exactly the same.

And is 7 games enough of a sample size to say he's really turned the corner? A lot people assumed that 7 games was enough and he was going to be that receiver we saw those 7 games. I gotta wonder if it won't take another two years before he figures it out again.

Those 7 games saw more production than any of our WR or TE are showing now aside from Britt. Those 7 games he helped open up the running game more than we had after he was out. Fisher needs to play the kid.

Foles seems to like Britt, shown yet again today. But, Quick looked like he was developing. I'm not a coach, so who knows. Today was frustrating.

If Quick is slow to pick things up, then create a package for him of 8-10 plays. At least then he can impact the game. How many plays does givens actually see the field? Or deactivate Pead and go with 6 WRs.

The thing that pissed me off was all this talk about Pittsburgh going for 2 all the time. Whether the Rams would have won 10-9 or tied it with 2 FG it would have been great for Pittsburgh to have to answer to it

I agree, would've been nice to make them pay for a failed 2 point attempt.

ramsrams34: Pead was inactive against Pittsburgh since Gurley was up, and with Watts coming back, don't know that we'll see Pead again. And there's some talk that Quick isn't recovered from his shoulder injury so who knows what's really going on there...
