Bulger, unlike Warner, was able to transcend some of the negatives the last couple of years in STL by winning 18 of 22 reg-season starts.
This year, I'm sorry to say, the negatives appear to be reaching crisis proportions. When you have no offensive line, and a defense that gets shoved around and has no DT capable of making an impact play, then you have a team in trouble. When you have one NFL-caliber CB on the active roster (Butler) that's a team in trouble.
That said, Bulger was terrible last night. He was part of the problem. And as I have said repeatedly, he should be judged on his own merits -- how he plays. He shouldn't be compared to Warner of 1999-2001, because Warner himself ain't anywhere near that these days.
What's comical about some of these posts is that the Bulger is Satan/Warner is God crowd convenienty seem to forget that last week that Ol' No. 13 was sacked four times (at least twice because he held onto the ball too long) and threw as bad an INT as you'll see. If Warner had to play with the STL team we saw last night....oh gosh. I hate to even think about it.
Cheers,
Bernie

Turley sends mixed signals.
He pops off to his friends and says he's done for the year.
He tells the Rams he needs more time, and they're encouraging him to take it.
Who knows?

Carolina directed their running game at him.
They game-planned him specifically.
216 yards rushing, 5.3 yards per carry.
I had a chance to review the coaching tapes and it was unreal. I don't know that I've ever seen a LB play worse than that.
I have no idea why this guy is going south. He'd better pick it up.
Cheers,
Bernie
