I look at the passer rating as a kind of exam grade. If you get a 100 or better, very nice. 90 is an A-, and 80 is a B. What is a “22.2?” It is past time to take the salary cap hit and get rid of him, or at least bring in a QB with a real opportunity to take over the starting job if he produces. Kurt Warner, JP Losman, Derek Anderson, Matt Cassell, Jon Kitna would all be available next year. ALL would be better than Marc. He is a nice guy, and let him take his millions and sit the bench somewhere. Don’t you think the salary cap hit for one year, would hurt short-term (like we would win less games and the point differential would be even worse) but in the long run be the boost we would need in 2010? I remember the headline, the same day, in the Post-Dispatch. One said to the effect “Haslet says no one’s job is safe” and the other said “Haslet says, read my lips, Bulger is our QB.” I find that funny, that Haslett does not have the cajones to bench Bulger and he can’t control someone like Incognito (which reminds me of how he was unable to handle Kyle Turley in New Orleans.) Anyone that supports Bulger has to go for the sake of the franchise, and that includes Haslett and Howard Balzer too.

As long as Bulger starts the Rams will lose.

After the game the Dolphin’s secondary said they could easily telegraph Bulger’s

passes. All year I’ve never put ALL the blame on Marc, but he defiantly deserves it

for this game. Sad, just sad. We will get better in time with Devany on the drafts,

but Steven Jackson probably won’t be around then (retired/contract expiration). We

really wasted this guys career. I know hes been hurt a lot, but who knows what

happens if any of those teams before us would have drafted him.

Bulger should be washing lettuce at Schnucks!

Bulger is mediocre at best. Jackson could be a great back IF he had any heart - he doesn’t. Does anyone think there’s no connection between missing all of the pre-season and the fact that he’s been banged-up ever since he finally showed up? Pace does the same thing - miss the pre-season, get hurt early in the season and have an unproductive year. Offensive play calling is pathetic, and the defense isn’t very good. Not a pretty picture, is it?

Bill Cower head coach and Dick Vermeil Presiden. SOunds like a no brainer to me!!

“rookie John Greco filled in nicely after Richie Incognito left early in the second half because he felt light-headed”

How does Incognito play at all then? I imagine he must feel “light-headed” most of the time.

I have been a long time supporter of Bulger. Finally, I must admit, I have given up hope. He just has lost the little fire he had. His big contract is now a huge weight on this team’s future. It is likely best just to find some way to move on from him.

Yeah….it’s always the QB’s fault. To be sure, Bulger had a poor game. But, do we fans know how many time his receivers ran bad routes? Kudos to the O-line for showing up with protection. But, look who Bulger is throwing the rock to….3 rooks, Looker (who is a number 3 receiver at best), Klopfenstein (who has hands of stone), a street free agent in Fells and a slower Torry Holt. Why was S Jax not involved in the passing game. Did you see Pittman drop a 3rd down screen pass? It’s a team game and Bulger needs some help. That said, the club should bring in someone next year to challenge Bulger. Can’t cut him or trade him with the high cap hit.

If Bill Devaney is high on a QB and that QB is available for us in the draft, even if it’s early in the first round, then he should take it. I’m tired of the Rams spinning their wheels in the draft with OL and DL picks. You gotta remember, good quarterback play will help the OL play too, and Bulger hasn’t offered any of that. This team needs to move on to a new era and fast…………..also, I’m starting to have second thoughts on Haslett as being retained as HC. If the Rams are serious about considering Schottenheimer, then they should go for it. I’m disappointed with Haslett sticking up for the players too much. His lack of concern for Incognito’s actions is inexcusable and unacceptable. I thought Jim was tougher but I don’t see it. All of a sudden you can see the decisions he’s had to deal with lately regarding Bulger, Incognito, etc, and I’m not impressed.

“……Richie Incognito left early in the second half because he felt light-headed.”

“Light headed”???? My God you look in his ear and you hear “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages……” There is NOTHING in the head so naturally he’s light headed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sad irony is that the Rams will probably get rid of Bulger, then he’ll go somewhere else and turn into an all-pro. Kurt Warner on the Cardinals is a case in point. Still, abysmal is a kind word to describe Bulger’s performance recently. As disappointing as Mike Martz was a few years ago, I’m really starting to miss him. At least he knew how to orchestrate things offensively and put points on the board. Anyone else remember when Haslett, then with the Saints, called the Martz Rams a “bullshit finesse team?” I was hopeful when Haslett first took over, but now I’m thinking the Rams need more of that so-called bullshit finesse.

i think that the rams are playing the way they are playing because they are short handed with alot of key injuries. i dont really think bulger is the problem i think he is not confident with the players out on the field being that most starters are out with injuries. but i do believe the rams should try and gat a qb in the draft just in case bulger doesnt pan out and maybe pick up one more receiver.i remember when the rams had bruce,holt,mcdonald,curtis,hakim thats when they were unstoppable scoring an average of 44 pts a game.

Good assessment, but on the coaching grade, I would include treatment of Jackson in the fourth quarter. If Haslett felt that Jackson shouldn’t play, he sould have talked to him at the time. Playing out later in the press is bad for the team.

I was disappointed that SJAX would hold out for a new contract, but it is as much the Ram’s FO fault as it is SJAX. Did the Ram’s hold the line on the contract cost? NO. Did they shorten the contract length? NO. So the same signed contract that they received 30 days after the holdout began is the contract they could’ve had prior to training camp. If the organization is going to hard line on contract renegotiations then they should walk away from players that holdout. This is again why Jay Z and John S are the operators of this team, they always consider profits over wins.

I don’t want to make fun of Marc Bulger because I honestly believe had he played behind anything other than an inept offensive line the past few years he would be an elite QB in this league. However, at the end of the day he is damaged goods, and I think this team is best off moving on either in Free Agency or the draft.

The Defense seems to be at least building towards something, the offense is just horribly stuck in neutral.

I too believe the Rams need coaches with balls and doesn’t allow losses to happen. They also need a quarter back who is good and not just average, I’m sure they’re kickin’ their selves for letting go of Kurt Warner(since he is up for MVP this year). Its really dificult to be a rams fan when you live in AZ, trust me, it sucks.

I’m sorry I wouldn’t give any of this team’s effort above a D, especially coaching which was horrible on offense and only a tad better on defense.

Bulger has to goooooo or you and your organization is going to lose every fan you ever had!!! Wrong to pay him all that money when he can’t even throw into the end zone with a “playoff” game on the line with Mike Martz!!! F-Him and be gone of him!!!

bulger should be picking fly s$#t out of peppers at the local produce stand. the guy is the laughing stock of ALL nfl quarterbacks but in his mind he’s doing a decent job, just ask him.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! HOW CAN YOU BLAME THIS ON HASLETT??? THIS IS LINEHANS HORRIBLE TEAM!! I GOT TO GIVE MY PROPS TO HASLETT I MEAN WHO WOULD WANT TO COACH A TEAM THAT WENT 2 AND 14 LAST YEAR THEN COME INTO THE SEASON WITH A 0-4 RECORD TO START OFF AND PLAYERS INJURED. I BELIEVE JIM HASLETT KNOWS WHAT TO DO AFTER THE SEASON IN CUTTING BULGER AND MUCH OF THE STAFF!! IF HASLETT DOES GET FIRED WHO WOULD WANT TO BE THE HEAD COACH ANYWAY WITH A BEAT UP TEAM AND GOING THROUGH THE REBUILDING PROCESS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. THE CAP IS GOING TO BE VERY LOW NEXT YEAR AND JIM HASLETT’S SALARY RIGHT NOW IS 1 M. COACHES LIKE BILL COWHER AND MARTY SCHOTTENHEIMER ARE GOING TO WANT MONEY. JIM HASLETT WILL BRING BACK THIS TEAM!!!

I think the Rams see a sign when they get to the “Red Zone” saying ” Rams Stay Out” I never liked Bulger from day 1, he looks scared half the time, and i’d rather have a back that rushed for 50 yds and scored TD’s than one that runs around between the 20 yrd lines!!! Rams have no heart………………….Hope they back up to receive their pay checks…………..

Hey “Haslett Fan”…coaches salaries dopn’t count against the cap u moron.
Haslett has always been and will always be a “high risk, low reward” defensive coach and nothing more.
Blow this team up from top to bottom.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS LINEHANS TEAM. EVEN IF THE COACHES SALARY DOESENT MATTER WITH THE CAP WHY WOULD THE OWNER WHO IS ALREADY NOT WILLING TO PAY A LOT GO OUT AND SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN ENTIRE KNEW COACHING STAFF

I’m sorry I wouldn’t give any of this team’s effort above a D, especially coaching which was horrible on offense and only a tad better on defense.
— bluerick Are you kidding me? Have you been watching the Rams? You would only give the OL a “D” after one of their best performances. Just because Bulger deserved a F—– don’t berate the rest of the team for putting forth their best effort since they trashed the Cowboy. How about throwing the dogs a bone every now and then. Bet you beat your dog and kids when they don’t perform to you expectations.
