I disagree with the (relatively) high grade of bulger the scud launcher and low grade of the O-line. Yeah bulger had a few good throws in the first half, but why is that so impressive? Because we are used to such low expectations? Any mediocre professional quarterback should have a few good throws in a game. However when he was needed (like perhaps the entire second half) he folded like a cheap lawn chair by throwing the ball all over the field except at his receivers. He is the anti-playmaker with perhaps the worst pocket awareness in the league. You mentioned 4 sacks given up by the O-line? At least two and I would argue three of them are squarely bulger’s fault. No O-line can block forever and when you’ve got a chance to get the ball out you just cannot take the sack. bulger does this repeatedly. One last salvo… Am I the only one that noticed that on the bulger the scud launcher interception at the end of the game he threw the ball into triple coverage for Burton when Avery was wide wide open on the post route which would have been a definite touchdown (if he didn’t overthrow him, a big if…) We need a new QB. bulger the scud launcher is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I have to agree with Eddie, Im very disappointed with the offensive line grade. I knew they were gonna blame those sacks of Bulger on them. Point of fact as Eddie mentioned, 2 if not 3 of those were Bulger holding onto the ball too long or running outside before he realized he doesnt have the mobility to do so and goes down. The line gave him plenty of time to make reads, but he doesnt progress his leads. Honestly watch Bulger with a clear, neutral mind and you will see he locks onto his 1st read and rarely moves onto other reads, if he did then Avery would have had 2 TDs today and not 1 and Holt would have had bout 20 more yards onto his day.

I agree whole hartedly with the previous comments… I would add when ever this team gets into there 2 minute drill run they blow it out badly… such as alex barron getting called for how many false starts???? front line as a whole can’t even seem to spell the word “block” let alone doing it. over all it seems that this is a “team of all stars” not an all star team.

Bulger is scared out there. The announcers see it , the fans see it, do the coaches see it? He was paid $17 million last year and he gets over $9 million this year to get rid of the ball before he gets hit. Maybe when they watch the game film someone might suggest that he move a little in the pocket instead of standing still play after play.

I disagree with the high grade of Bulger. He still holds onto the ball to long or throws into double coverage. Bulger looks like a deer in the headlights on pass plays. If the primary receiver is not open, he panics. Maybe golf is his game. I don’t think Bulger is the QB that can win a game on his own. Not like a Warner or Favre can do.

I give secondary a C- (too inconsistent), special teams a D- (gave NE great field position), and receivers B (did Holt retire?).

The Rams as a whole, played inconsistent. Made some good plays, but not enough of them to beat a good team like New England. When the game was on the line, the team that wanted it the most won.

I am surprised the special teams and especially the dismal work of Donnie Jones isn’t pointed to more often than Bulger for this game. The Patriots benefited from having the ball around the 50 for much of the second half and I didn’t get the impression the PATS would of been in scoring position too easily if it weren’t for that. The Rams would have won if not for giving away field position and the skewed officiating even if Bulger didn’t hit every window (and was sacked often) and Jackson was out. I immensely dislike the Patriots and any loss to them just makes me sick. Mr. Jones…no more rare off-days please.

Outside looking,,,,Thinks Haslett is doing a great job, give him time!

It’s time for the Rams to seriously conceder doing something with Bulger. He is a first class chicken****. He had chances to pick up yardage himself several times but he chooses to throw the ball away. I saw it coming in the second half when he started making those faces like he is just fed up. He is making premium money and only providing mediocre service to the club. Anyone making the money that he is, should be glad to hang their butt out there for a win. This passer rating stuff is played to seriously. You can have a good day until you throw two passes over the receivers head while he is in the endzone and you still get a good passer rating. If you can’t hit the target when it counts, who cares about passer rating?

All positions get an A for effort. Everyone really played hard. Except Bulger. He gets a F. Bulger takes sacks to protect himself from injury (I understand because hes shell shocked), and to protect his passer rating, instead of throwing the ball away and preserving field position for his team. Hasslet is stuck between a rock and a hard place regarding Bulger. Jackson who is the best player and team leader endorses Bulger. When Haslet named Bulger the starter he increased team morale in the locker room by pleasing team leader Jackson, which was a good move for moral. But for production on the field Bulger is not the man. He looks scared and uninterested in playing. I wonder if the coaching staff sees it. The O line has made steady improvement though not perfect they gave Bulger som opportunities to make plays and he failed.

Bulger really let his teammates down.
