Bears-Rams Fourth Quarter: More Turnover Fun!
The Rams finally moved the ball early in the fourth quarter, with Kenneth Darby running the ball and Trent Green locating Torry Holt, Keenan Burton, Anthony Becht (!) and others.
Fans begging for John Greco got their look at the big rookie; he stepped in at left guard for Jacob Bell.
With the Rams facing fourth-and-two at the Bears 28, Jim Haslett sent out his field goal team. Then Haslett figured out his team was down 27-3, so he sent the offense back on the field and called a time out.
Green managed to scramble for a first down (barely) and keep the drive alive. But another deflection interception killed the would-be scoring drive.
That pick, his third of the game, lowered Green’s passer rating for this game to 39.9. Not good.
At this point, the Rams have rushed the ball 16 times for (ahem) three yards. Also not good.
Green’s next interception, his fourth, went right to linebacker Lance Briggs. What the . . .
The Rams got the ball back by forcing a fumble (Jason Craft) and recovering (Fakhir Brown) it.
Brock Berlin tagged in for Green, who finished with a 37.4 passer rating. So at least a few different faces got some action in this fiasco.
As a long time ram fan, {since 1972}{jack snow, deacon jones roman gabriel merlin olsen ,yeah that long} It kills me to see this organization play like this. I also have the unenviable position of having phila eagles fans slaughter me every week since I live in southeastern pa. but what really got me this week is how when the eagles lost this week to baltimore 36-7 all you heard all week long on the philly station was how to dissect this loss and analyze what happened that they got whupped so bad { and they are having an average season as a team} and I just thought to myself this happens to our team EVERY WEEK in fact if we actually showed up to even compete we would have to dissect that and overanalyze it to see if we could repeat it. Lets face it folks haslett has to go ,no he isnt the one turning the ball over and not blocking and not tackling BUT these are all signs of poor disciplined team. Look at the good teams, they have good coaches who won’t tolerate poor discipline. haslett has shown he can’t get the guys to toughen up mentally or physically .sooner or later you have to toughen up and make a stand this team refuses to do that.Haslett has shown he MUST be let go.
