Some stuff I accumulated from Bernie today:

gotta get rid of the ball... quick stuff... bad play calls... blitzes all day; where are the hot reads? why has bulger ignored open guys short in the middle all day? this is the basis for my complaint.

Lienhan was really ticked... said the loss was on him.
I'll pass a couple of quotes on later...

Steven Jackson, Holt and Bruce sneaked out of the locker room, with assistance of the Page Ranking staff, to avoid speaking to the media.

Class.

At least Bulger and members of the defense and O-line were stand-up guys.

Reset:

Rams final possession....moving the ball....

On a 3rd and 10, Bulger hits Bennett for 12....
First down at the SF 45-yard line, and Rams spike the ball to stop the clock with 1:13 remaining.

Next plays:

2nd down: sack for minus 7.

3rd down and 17: completion to I. Bruce for 14.

4th: the 56-yd FG attempt...

"I wish I had that down back now," Linehan said. "Looking back, I really wish I had that down back. I didn't account for a sack or any lost-yardage plays. I felt in two plays we could get the first down and keep driving. I didn't want to rush it. If I could do it all over again, I would have probably called a play. Again, that was my call."

Jackson wants the ball more...
that apparently is the source of his displeasure.
