DE Long finally gets a sack; Rams defense stiffens
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
DETROIT — With a big assist from DT Clifton Ryan, St. Louis Rams DE Chris Long finally got his first sack of the year. Ryan charged though and rolled over the top of Lions QB Matthew Stafford. Long moved in to finish off the play, resulting in a 4-yard loss.
The Rams’ defense has forced 3-and-outs on Detroit’s first two series of the second half.
10-2 Rams with 7:18 to go in the third period.


OMG, another turnover in the redzone!
If I am the Rams, I take Bulger out the minute we get to the Red Zone and put in Boller. The RZ is kryptonite to Bulger. He is gawd awful inside the 20…
Stafford is SO MUCH BETTER than Bulger right now… How in the heck does Bulger slide short of the first down. The problem with this team is they are simply too dumb to win! After this loss it will be time to see what you have in Null. The Lions seem intent on proving that we are worst team in the NFL, as if there was much doubt.
Mistakes:
Butler’s safety, Bone head mistake.
Bulgers side arm passing getting tipped.
Bulgers interception.
Should of been a 3-5 team.
8-8 could win the division.
Chris Long is under sized , Could the Rams make a Linebacker out of him?
