ramsfan80: Where is Ricky Manning? Clearly Tye Hill cannot play in this league. Any yardage by the Giants seems to have come at the expense of Hill. Team looks inspired but lack of talent on O-Line and secondary is VERY apparent.
Jeff Gordon: Manning apparently lacks the foot speed to play on the outside any more. In time, he could play the nickel spot. Clearly this team just has to get Hill up to speed -- or else.
This was not a good day for the kid.
Janie Smith: How long before the owners move the team to LA or sell it? Will anyone in St. Louis still care by the time this happens?
Jeff Gordon: There was not a huge crowd at the Dome for this one. Lots of empty seats, no doubt due to the adverse weather and flooding. But scalpers were trying to move tickets for just $5 before game time. Not a good sign.
This team will be here awhile, but the next ownership group will have lots of work to do.
Craig: I wonder if anyone would still condone handing the team to Jim Haslett. This guy is pathetic. But then again, so is the rest of the team. I guess I really don't have a question for you. This team looks about as good as my high school football team, not very; I don't know if I have it in me to watch another game. Very, very disappointing.
Jeff Gordon: Can't argue with that.
Christopher Johnson: Upside: the Rams did actually score a touchdown and showed flashes on defense here and there. But let's get down to it, Gordo. This game was another disgrace. How long before Linehan gets capped?
Jeff Gordon: As Bernie and Bryan were saying up in the press box, Saunders and Haslett haven't distinguished themselves either. So if Scott goes, will much change?
Geoff N, Champaign IL: Please answer this question. I can't watch the game because I am in Illinois, but I am listening to the sirius (NYG broadcast) and it sounded... real bad. I just want to know did the players atleast have more emotion and seem more organized this game than last week? Do they look like most have quit on Linehan?
Jeff Gordon: The Rams competed pretty well for 3-plus quarters. The game got ugly at the end, but the Rams fought for most of the way. Sadly, they just aren't very good. And the Giants played like champions. They knew where the mismatches were and they went after them.
