I'm looking at the schedules for the Titans and Rams, thinking that the game they play against each other on 12/13 is probably the best shot for either of them to get a win.

Then I think, maybe they tie.

With a 0-0 score.

I just don't see many opportunities for either of my 2 favorite teams. Fisher's been told to start VY this week, which I'm glad to see. I'm not confident in VY having any more success than Collins, but the change may shake them out of the scoring funk. Of course, receivers will need to begin catching balls at some point (I'm starting to think Gage is sandbagging on Collins, with all his drops). I don't know what will help them defensively. I could score on that secondary! Even if Finnegan and Harper were healthy, all they'd get are some penalty yards and a fight or 2. The only ones I could see really trying in the Pats game were Bullock and CJ. It hasn't been that long ago they started 0-4, but never quit on Fisher and eventually got some wins. I'm just not seeing it this season.

For the Rams...I just feel bad for Jackson. They are going to run him into the ground there and eventually get him hurt. The team has never recovered from Martz's "genius". I know Warner was becoming ineffective, but put someone like Manning in the exact same position and see how great he becomes. Maybe Bulger could have panned out for them if management had ponied up for an O-line, but I still believe they dropped the wrong QB. These guys have a great shot at equaling Detroit's seasonal record, even better than Tennessee.

Anyone see a ray of sunshine for either one???

I do.
Sadly, that ray comes when the season closes and puts an end to their misery.

Well, if The Governator gets his wish and builds a new football stadium in LA, the Rams may have a ray of hope - six years from now, when they move back.

They still may not win any games, but they'll likely play in sunlight.

Never underestimate the suckiness of Detroit, there is hope yet for your Rams!

Re: 0-fer
 

I don't know, the Lions have a better record this year :D.

Re: 0-fer
 

Well, you were right!

I still say it's a waste of talent for the Rams to have Jackson running for them.


For the Titans; Wow! I wish they had televised the game locally. CJ has been about the only real bright spot on this year's team, and did he shine today!!! Team rushing record! And...a WIN!!! The season is still likely a wash, but I am proud of the way they played today on offense. VY did a great job, considering the play time he's had, and no turnovers at all.

Pretty interesting week 8, overall.

Re: 0-fer
 

There's hope for your Rams...I think they landed a very good coach. May take a couple years though. They have to replace their QB though. I think Booger sucks.

The Titans? I don't know, I like Fisher, but I think they need to blow that whole team up and start from scratch. A lot of that team seemed to get real old, real quick all at the same time.

Wow! 4-0 in 4 weeks. I thought bringing VY in would spark, but this is nice! The secondary is still underperforming and there are still woes on both sides of the ball, but there is hope for a .500 season. I don't think they have it in them to win out the rest of the way, but definitely a good shot at respectability. I'm very pleasantly surprised by VY. Especially last night, he showed very good touch on the pass, and he's not looking to run EVERY time the play starts.

CJ...just incredible. If he can stay healthy, he will do a lot of damage.

Even though they keep losing, the Rams are still showing fight.

Re: 0-fer
 

OK...5-0 in last 5 weeks, and VY does +300 yds passing. Wow!

CJ breaks off another 80+ yd TD run. Wow!

And VY is showing touch and accuracy on his passes. Looking good, and well done on the turnaround.

The poor Rams...
