chris in steeler country: I know hindsight is 20/20 but... why didn't the rams make more of an effort to get patrick kearney or adalius thomas and send the fourth round draft pick to the raiders for moss to give them their big target instead of acquiring bennett and james hall? Secondly, if bulger threw to bruce half as much as he forces things to holt, bruce would have been number 3 on the all-time list instead of 6! It's been obvious for the past 4 years and everyone seems to overlook bulgers' inability to scan the field ,fake to holt and come back to bruce who seems to be wide open a lot more than holt. I realize he's not 100%, but I'm just making a case for bruce to be allowed to be the playmaker he still is. Finally, they run a reverse after faking it for 11 weeks which didn't fool anyone with the slow of foot recievers.

Jeff Gordon: In this game, the Rams featured Bruce as much as Holt. In fact, Bruce should have had a second TD catch -- but Frerotte rushed his throw and missed him at the end of the game.

Hall has been a solid pick-up at DE. As for Moss, the Patriots may have been the only team capable of getting him to focus this year. I'm sure there is another team -- this one included -- that could have gotten him to play hard.

GoneGator: It's interesting to watch the offense and defense leave the field and get to the sideline. The offense leaves, and it's the same reaction - no emotion, no nothing. The defense, on the other hand, is always high-fiving, in each other's face, etc. And that includes the coaches. It's no wonder our offense is so methodical, predictable, and flat-out boring.

Jeff Gordon: Jackson is an emotional leader, but when he gets knocked out of the game, the energy level dips. It just does. An lively back-up QB like Fitzpatrick would have really helped this season.

Istvan: Why don't we just keep playing safe and predictable and we'll continue to lose every week!!!
Injuries are not an excuse.....sick and tired of this @#$!

Jeff Gordon: I don't know how much more you can open up an offense with Gus at the helm. He still has a nice arm, but he can't move and he doesn't make quick reads or throws. That said, he moved the back on the last series . . . only to muff the final play.

jake: Jeff, what happened to Steven Jackson in the second half? Seems like he just disappeared. Aren't we supposed to be riding this guy to wins when we're leading in the fourth quarter?

Jeff Gordon: He left the game after taking a blow to the head. Obviously, he was cleared to get back in there.

Mike: This loss isn't on Linehan. The Rams' O-line play is pathetic and Frerotte isn't much better. This was a winnable game but the offense could do NOTHING in the second half. Hopefully a new number two is one the many offseason changes I'm expecting in '08.

Jeff Gordon: This team needs a LOT of upgrades -- but, yes, back-up QB is one of them. Behind a battered line, he is really vulnerable.
