Louis: Jim, do you think that if Carrol Rosenbloom was still the owner or his son, that we wouldn't be seeing this crazy upper management mentality??
I love the Rams (not Georgia) and have always been loyal but to see them flounder like this is unacceptable!
This team had the potential (Like New England) to keep being competitive over all these years since the Super Bowl(s) and have squandered their talent.
It sure seems like the old days all over again...Eric Dickerson, Everett, Ron Brown, Waddy,etc...
You see it starts at the top and St Louis, Mo. fans will see (if they have not already) what we in So Cal find out a long time ago that they just don't get it!
Until someone purchases this team and ousts management, I'm afraid we're in for more of the same.
The track record proves it, go back and look at the Rams history especially since Georgia has taken over!
Carrol Rosenbloom wanted his son to run the operation (read Wikepedia)

Jim Thomas: It kind of makes you wonder if 1999 through 2001 really happened. It did, didn't it?

Robert: Jim,


HOW LONG CAN WE RAMS FANS CAN STAND TO WATCH THIS DEBACLE OF A TEAM, NO PRIDE, NO FIRE, NO DETERMINATION POOR COACHING,JUST RIDICULOUS!!!! HOW LONG BEFORE WE CAN START TO CALL MARTY OR BILL COWHER. THIS ORGANIZATION,& COACHING STAFF SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS MESS. AS A DIE HARD RAMS FAN FROM ORANGE COUNTY I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT GEORGIA FRONTIERE CAN SEE WHAT THIS TEAM HAS TURN OUT TO BE THE LAUGHING STOCK FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!!

JUST AN ANGRY RAMS FAN!!!!

Jim Thomas: Thirty-nine points in four games. That's hard to imagine. And seven of them came on Dante Hall's punt return in Dallas. Yes, injuries are a big factor in what's going on right now. But 39 points?????

Derrelle: JIm! Jim! Jim! What in the world is going on with these Lambs my god. I heard the interview with you and Linehan and he had the nerve to be upset, the problem with the rams is that they dont make the right adjustments if the other team is doing one thing when the series is over go over to the bench (Mark Bulger)with your offensive line and you wide receivers and look at the photos to make the proper adjustments along with (Greg Olsen) why does Mark Bulger put on his ballcap and stand next to Gus Frerotte and watch the defense somebody should tell him to go back there and look at the photos with the rest of the offensive players !!THIS IS bAAAAAAD!! GO LAMBS!

Jim Thomas: I've seen Bulger frequently looking over photos with Frerotte and the offensive coaches, so I don't think he's boycotting anything. But the offensive doldrums are so bad it defies description.

Brian Sullivan: Jim,
Is Scott Linehan the beneficiary on Marc Bulger's insurance policy? Why else would he play him when it is so obvious that he is hurt and the offensive line is a sieve?

Jim Thomas: Linehan thinks Bulger gives them the best chance to win, even with two broken ribs. Don't get me wrong, in my mind there's no doubt that Bulger can play, but given the state of his ribs, his tentativeness in the pocket, why not sit him for a week or two, to at least get healthier and regroup mentally.

Ramalamadingdong: Heya JT - there has been much written about how Martz was the problem here.

That he couldn't get along with our brilliant FO.

Is there any rethinking being done by, if no one else, the press corps about who really was and is the problem on this team?

I mean, 30 plus years, three Super Bowl appearances. Two of which occured AFTER Mike Martz showed up.

And Martz was the problem?

I've been a Rams fan since the days of Norm Van Brocklin, Crazy Legs Hirsch, Bob Waterfield, et al. We're right back to the kind of football that was played here before Martz showed up.

How much longer are the fans going to take it?

Thanks.

Jim Thomas: For the most part, I don't think any re-thinking is necessary by the writers at the Post-Dispatch. I think all along, we knew what Martz brought to the table _ pro and con. But the friction had become so bad between Martz and Zygmunt that something had to give. Zygmunt won the power struggle and here we are. But let's not just include Martz in this discussion. The Rams were doing nothing but losing until three men showed up between 1997 and '99: Martz, Charley Armey, and Dick Vermeil. All three are gone.
