The Rams broke a 17-game losing streak yesterday in Detroit and they played a pretty well rounded football game.  Marc Bulger did not have a good game for the Rams as he completed 17 of 35 passes for 176 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 interception.  Kicker Josh Brown threw the best pass of the game for the Rams on a fake field goal as he hit TE Daniel Fells that went for a 36 yard TD.  Steven Jackson was an absolute beast in this game for the Rams as he carried the ball 22 times for 149 yards (6.8 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also added 3 catches for 17 yards (5.7 avg).  Keenan Burton led the Rams in the passing game yesterday with 5 catches for 54 yards (10.8 avg).  The Rams finished up this game with 362 total yards on offense in this game (150 passing, 212 passing).

Linebackers James Laurinaitis (7 tackles, pass defensed) and Paris Lenon (7 tackles) led the way for the Rams on D in this game.  Safety James Butler also had a solid game for the Rams with 4 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception.  The Lions finished up with 289 total yards on offense in this game (127 rushing, 162 passing).  The Rams are now 1-7 on the season.

Last week must have been a mirage for the Rams as they sucked yesterday.  Marc Bulger had another terrible game completing 14 of 26 passes for 140 yards with 2 INTs (one was returned 35 yards by Colts’ CB Jacob Lacey for a TD).  Steven Jackson was excellent as usual but it didn’t really matter in this game as he carried the ball 23 times for 134 yards (5.8 ypc).  WRs Donnie Avery (2 rec, 58 yards) and Danny Amendola (5 rec, 39 yards) leading the way in the passing game for the Rams yesterday.  The Rams finished up with 272 total yards on offense (155 rushing, 117 passing) in this game.

The defense was led by safety Oshiomogho Atowge and DE C.J. Ah You who had 7 tackles apiece for the Rams.  But the Rams’ D was pathetic again in this game as the Colts rolled up 391 total yards on offense (156 rushing, 235 passing).  The Rams are now 0-7 on the season.

The Rams played their best game of the season yesterday which is pretty odd when you consider that were out yarded 492-262!  But they made big plays when they needed them forcing this game into overtime before falling once again yesterday.  Marc Bulger was efficient in this game as he completed 22 of 34 passes for 213 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 INT.  Steven Jackson was busy in this game as he carried the ball 16 times for 50 yards (3.1 ypc) and he also caught 6 passes for 78 yards (13.0 avg).  WR Donnie Avery only caught 1 pass in this game but he made it count as it went for a 17 yard TD.  The Rams finished up with 262 yards on offense in this game (55 rushing, 207 passing) despite only having the football for 24:48.

The Jaguars had possession of the football for an amazing 42:12 in this game but they still had to fight to the bitter end to beat the Rams because of the bend but don’t break defense they were playing.  Safety Oshiomogho Atogwe led the way for the Rams in this game with 10 tackles and 1 pass defensed.  Rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis was also very busy in this game as he had 5 tackles, defensed 1 pass, hit the opposing QB twice and he picked off a pass.  DE Leonard Little was living in the Jags’ backfield in this game as he finished with 3 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss, had defensed 3 passes, hit the opposing QB twice and he intercepted a pass that he returned 36 yards for a TD.  The Jaguars finished up with 492 total yards of offense in this game (166 rushing, 326 passing).  The Rams are now 0-6 on the season but they at least showed some life yesterday.

The Rams got punished in this game by the Vikings until garbage time when they showed some fight.  Kyle Boller started this game and he completed 20 of 31 passes for 209 yards with 1 INT.  He also lost a fumble that was returned 52 yards for a TD by Vikings’ DE Jared Allen.  Marc Bulger shined in garbage time completing all 7 of his pass attempts for 88 yards with a TD pass.  Steven Jackson was busy for the Rams in this game rushing for 84 yards on 21 carries (4.0 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 25 yards (12.5 avg).  WR Donnie Avery had a solid game for the Rams finishing with 5 catches for 87 yards (17.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  The Rams finished up with 400 total yards in this game (122 rushing, 278 passing).

Safety Craig Dahl led the way for the Rams’ D in this game with 7 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 2 QB hits.  The Vikings finished up with 377 total yards on offense in this game (89 rushing, 288 passing).  The Rams are now 0-5 on the season.

The St. Louis Rams (0-4) offense looked terrible again and were crushed by the San Francisco 49ers (3-1) on the road Sunday.  The Rams had three turnovers and all of them turned into points for the 49ers.  The first came in the second quarter when the Rams screwed up a punt return and the 49er’s Scott McKillop recovered it in the end-zone for the only score of the first half.  The 49ers’ defense scored again in the third quarter when Patrick Wilson had a 23-yard interception return and again in the fourth quarter when Ray McDonald recovered a Kyle Boller fumble and ran 11 yards for a touchdown.

The Rams defense played well enough to win this game, but got nothing from their offense.  Kyle Boller did not do a good job filling in for the injured Marc Bulger as he finished the game with only 108 yards on 13/24 attempts and had two turnovers.  Steven Jackson was effective on the ground and had 79 yards on 23 carries (3.4 avg).  The Rams were way too sloppy today and the turnovers were way too costly.  The Rams will be looking for their first win next week against the Minnesota Vikings at home.

The St. Louis Rams (0-4) continued their pathetic play and were crushed by the San Francisco 49ers (3-1) Sunday.

The Rams finally showed some life in this game trailing only 23-17 after three quarters.  But then the Packers came alive and put them away in the 4th quarter.  Marc Bulger started the game at QB but he had to leave because of injury early.  He completed 3 of 4 passes for 23 yards while he was still in one piece.  Kyle Boller replaced him in the game and the team seemed to come to life.  He completed 16 of 31 passes for 164 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 interception.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 31 yards (7.8 ypc).  The Rams finally got smart in this game and got the ball to their best player often.  He carried the ball 27 times for 117 yards (4.3 ypc) yesterday and he also caught 5 passes for 46 yards (9.2 avg).  Boller’s favorite target when the Rams got close to the end zone was little used TE Daniel Fells who caught 2 passes for 35 yards (17.5 avg) and they both went for TDs.  The Rams finished up with 336 total yards on offense (149 rushing, 187 passing) in this game. 

The defense was led by safety Craig Dahl with 7 tackles yesterday.  But, the Rams overall effort on defense was terrible as usual in this game.  The Packers finished up with 402 total yards in this game (152 rushing, 250 passing).  The Rams are now 0-3 on the season.

The Rams are taking baby steps this season as they scored a TD yesterday.  Marc Bulger had another sub par game completing 15 of 28 passes for 125 yards with 1 TD pass.  The Rams need to find a way to get the ball to Steven Jackson as much as possible as he is by far the best player the offense has to offer.  He carried the ball 17 times for 104 yards (6.1 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 15 yards (3.8 avg).  WR Laurent Robinson had another solid game in leading the Rams with 6 catches for 54 yards (9.0 avg) with a TD.  The Rams finished up with 245 total yards yesterday (126 rushing, 119 passing).

The defense was in a bend but don’t break mode and it allowed them to stay in this football game.  LBs Will Witherspoon (10 tackles) and James Laurinaitis (8 tackles) both led the way for the Rams on D yesterday.  Safety Oshiomogho Atogwe also had a solid game pitching in with 8 tackles.  The Redskins finished up with 362 total yards on offense (125 rushing, 237 passing) in this game.  The Rams fall to 0-2 on the season with yesterday’s loss but it’s hard to win when you average 3.5 points per game.

The Rams looked pathetic yesterday, period!  Marc Bulger did not look good completing 17 of 36 passes for 191 yards.  Steven Jackson only carried the ball 16 times for 67 yards (4.2 ypc) as the Rams were too far behind to run the ball.  Laurent Robinson (5 rec, 87 yards) and Donnie Avery (6 rec, 46 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Rams.  The Rams finished up with a whopping 247 total yards on offense (77 rushing, 170 passing) in this game.

Linebacker James Laurinaitis led a poor Rams’ effort on defense with 14 tackles.  Safeties Oshiomoghu Atogwe (8 tackles, INT) and James Butler (5 tackles, INT) both had their moments in this game.  The Seahawks finished up with 446 total yards (167 rushing, 279 passing) in this game.

The Rams laid a egg in this game last Sunday.  Marc Bulger hit WR Derek Stanley with a 80-yard bomb for a TD in the first quarter and that seemed to get the Cardinals pissed off.  The Cardinals outscored the Rams 34-6 the last three quarters holding the Rams to 151 yards outside of Bulger’s bomb to Stanley.  Bulger completed 16 of 33 passes for 186 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 interceptions.  Bulger was also the Rams’ leading rusher with 32 yards on 3 carries (10.7 ypc) in this game and that’s never a good thing for the Rams.  The Rams only had possession of the football for 21:22 of this game and that just won’t get it done at the NFL level.  The defense was horrible for the Rams in this game as the Cardinals rolled up 510 total yards on offense.  The Rams fell to 2-6 on the season with this loss.
