Bye Bye Bruce

On the day when the Rams celebrated Isaac Bruce by retiring his number 80, OMG what a game! Sure it was against the Panthers, but they had just put a beatdown on the 49ers the week before and all the experts were expressing awe over their two rookie WR's who had torched the Niner's secondary. So much for that, eh?

 Ex Ducks QB Matt Moore had a hard time finding those rookies, as did the entire team in finding the endzone. Our Defense played as brilliantly as it had all year, and Bradford became the first #1-picked QB since the 1969 draft to win 4 of his first 5 home starts. This guy is unbelievable, and although Suh had a monster game yesterday too, he is far and away the best choice we could have made in the draft.

 Either player would have been a great addition for us, but without this leader on our team Suh would already be beaten down by being on the field for 50 of the 60 minutes every game. Sam's throws were on target and his overall game play was just incredible.

 Going into the bye week we are in sole possession of second place and are primed to take this division. Cards have no QB, Niners have no QB, and Hawks have Hasselbeck. We have Bradford, and the Niners next. Woohoo!

D FENCE

7 sacks? Two by Chris Long? Need I say more?

Ugh!

What the hell was that? I guess I lost control of my emotions and was ready to crown us the champs too quickly. This loss reminds me of who our team REALLY is -- a bunch of underachieving overpaid librarians who put on pads every Sunday led by a rookie QB who WILL BE great, but is not yet. To lose to the Lions was ok but to lose to them like that is not ok. How can a bunch of guys pack it in like that after coming so far already? I just don't get it. But that's why I'm not a motivational speaker. I will miss being in first place for a week, and the Chargers will provide us another chance to step up or lay down. Which one will it be?

Wha....Wha.....Wha....

I stutter as I try to come to the realization that the Rams are in first place and that the Rams are on a two game winning streak and that the Rams have one of the top Defenses in the league. Wha Wha Wha WHAT??? This is amazing. I am finally able to watch without knowing, just knowing that we will find a way to lose. Except for TWO BRUTAL CALLS by the worst official in the NFL this game was a thing of beauty. Even Bradford's pick was ok because he picked himself up and came right back without any angst at all, something that Mr. Bulger could not get rid of even if his life depended on it. Lots of reasons to celebrate and to look forward to next week, and I can't wait.
