That opener against Seattle was an outlier.Foles was bad against the Skins and Pitt, then had another outlier in AZ, although that game was Gurley's coming out party and the Rams don't win it without Gurley taking over in the 2nd half.Then the Packers game happened and Foles was done. That game just finished him off. ~ max ~“The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity.” - Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers by SpeedRacer 7 years 9 months ago Total posts: 389 Joined: May 31 2016 LA Coliseum Starter Re: Winning in the N.F.L.

I watch the games to see what young players flash. So this week it was Higs and Spruce. Unfortunately Thomas was the opposite. I'd like to see the O deliver a couple good drives over the 4 games.

Maybe instead of going vanilla with everything they should try and work on some plays occasionally to get better at it. If you wait till the regular season to unveil certain plays, the other team might not be ready for it, but you might not be either because its the first time you tried it in a real game situation. by dieterbrock 7 years 9 months ago Total posts: 11512 Joined: Mar 31 2015 New Jersey Hall of Fame Re: Winning in the N.F.L.
