  • For those that attend the games ...

    Take a little time afterwards and wait for some of your beloved Rams to leave the Dome and walk across to the Drury ...

    Some of them seemed very down when they left after the game, but they left much more upbeat, many with big smiles on their faces after getting a little love from the fans ...

    You know, they are just normal people like me and you for the most part. They DO have feelings ...

    I was at the game and I have to say...

    It really doesn't help when their own crowd boos them at the end of the game. I've never understood that.

      Re: For those that attend the games ...

      Yes, it's pretty sad. It's my own thing, but I NEVER boo my own team. Just doesn't make sense to me ...

      But, lots of things don't make sense to me ...

      Like the two fans sitting next to me that show up to the game in St. Louis Cardinals gear!!!! Against the CARDINALS! And then they proceeded to tell me that they weren't RAMS fans, they were GSOT on fans. It was halarious. They rooted for Warner all game ...

      I also found it sickening that fans were leaving with 5 minutes left in the game. On two occassions, I heard children begging and pleading with their parents to let them stay until the end of the game to no avail ...

      Further, I know the city of St. Louis still loves Kurt Warner, but that doesn't mean you have to sit silently in your seats while the Cards have the ball. There was little or no noise until the second half when Leinart took over. Then they most have felt they got the blessing to make noise again ....

      It's really nuts. I saw only a few Card fans scattered about, and they didn't make much noise, but it sure seemed like there wasn't much of a homefield advantage ...

        From my perspective the crowd was really loud early on but after the first score or two it all died down.

        It got noisy again when the Rams were making their come back bid at least and when Jackson broke his huge run.

        Everything else I heard was either Cardinals fans chearing by me or Rams fans who's sole purpose in being at the game seemed to be to yell and cuss at Bulger while wearing Warner jerseys.

          I feel bad for Bulger, I really do. He's will forever be a Ram hero to me, cemented for good after knowing he was playing on a freakin broken leg ...

            Yeah that's really quite amazing. I can only think of one other former Ram to play on a broken leg..

                Yup. Jack Youngblood. Hall of Famer, also voted as the toughest player ever on a special about tough guys on NFL network. Played 2 or 3 games, including the Superbowl against Pittsburgh with a broken leg taped up.

                If nothing else Bulger had the same problem that many QBs have replacing a very popular QB. No matter what they do, they will never be considered good enough. Steve Young had the same problem after he replaced Joe Montana. Anyone remember who replaced Jim Kelly?
                Dan Marino?
                John Elway?
                Dan Fouts?
                Kenny Stabler?
                Troy Aikman?

                How did any of those replacements do? How well were they liked by the fans?

                I have never been able to attend a Rams game in St Louis. But you do not support you teams with boos, even if they are playing poorly. And I would love to come to a game, stay after and have a chance to meet some of the current roster. Even the guys that I do not like.

                  It was an awesome post-game experience ...

                  I got a chance to interact, sometimes briefly, sometimes lengthy, with Brandon Gibson, Victor Adeyanju, Sean Walker, Keith Null, Paris Lenon, Larry Grant, Adam Goldberg, Samkon Gado, Alex Barron, Steven Jackson, Cliff Ryan, Chris Long, Roger Allen III, Josh Brown and Johnathan Wade ...

                  All great guys ...

                    Good thought Infiniti.... I too like going over and watching the guys come out from the dome. I think they should get some love from the fans, especially after tough losses.

                    So did you know all those players that you talked to? I don't see enough pictures and interviews to identify them. I am usually bugging Barry to get their names or looking them up in the book.

                    Quiet fans, and booing fans.....poor rams .....so much for home field advantage.

                      Where exactly were you able to meet with the players? I think I'm going to be at the Texans game and would love to at least get to see some of them.

                        Hey! I'll be at that game! Look for me - I'll be in the stands. I'm the guy who will be wearing a #39 jersey!

                        Mine will say "RAMS FAN SAM" on the back....

                          They put up barriers between the dome and the drury inn and the players and coaches walk across the road to get to their cars. You can also see them in the valet parking at the drury inn picking up cars.

                          I have pictures posted of several of the players after the GB game in my photo album ....check them out.

                            At one point (no clue if it's true still but from the cars parked there I'm guessing it is), the street on the South Side of the Drury was all cars parked for players. It's closed off and security on either end.

                              Bulger is nowhere near in the that category of QBs.

                                Cardinals fans upset with me
                                by moklerman
                                Isn't it amazing how a statement can be made that is meant to be one thing and completely gets blown out of proportion.

                                I've frequented one of the Cardinals fan sites since Warner became a Cardinal. I prefer the fan sites because in general there is a lot less troll activity. So, I was very straightforward from the beginning and have restated my position many times that I migrated to their board because of Warner. I wasn't trying to pass myself off as a Cardinals fan or being unrealistic in my support of Warner.

                                Not much has changed since his days as a Ram. He still has a crappy, undisciplined line, a new OC/HC just about every year, a young QB to compete with for playing time and a mediocre(at best) franchise backing him up. All of his turnovers are magnified(justified in some cases, some not) and there is a very loud, vocal minority that blame him for the Cardinals' woes.

                                Like I said, nothing new there and no one on either side of the fence is going to change their mind about him any time soon. But, amongst all of this banter, someone felt compelled to talk down to me for being a fan of Warner. Now, I'll debate and argue his merits on the field 'til the cows come home. I enjoy it and it's just fun for me to analyze all the numbers, situations and circumstances surrounding the arguements about him and football in general. But talking down to me because I root for Warner? From a Cardinals fan?

                                I didn't want to get into a "you suck" "no, you suck" situation but I was insulted and felt compelled to point out that regardless of what Warner's doing now, a Cardinals fan hasn't the right to talk down to me for being a fan when they don't have anything comparable in terms of success. I stated it pretty much in those terms. I didn't say the franchise sucks or that it's fans suck or anything like that. At best, their team's success is on equal ground with other franchises and in general, they're looking up at everyone else.

                                I tried to point out that if a Patriots fan wants to talk smack and brag about having much more success than the Cardinals, that there's not really much to say to it and that it seems irrational to try and argue that the Cards(or many ohter teams) have as much bragging rights as the Patriots.

                                This example, of course, flew right over everyone's head and many were all hurt that I was calling them 2nd class fans(which I wasn't) and upset that I was telling them what they could or couldn't say, etc. I'm not flaunting Warner's past success on anyone either. His awards were a long time ago and don't represent what he's doing now. BUT, he's still got them under his belt. He's still a 2 time MVP, etc. He has reached and earned success that the Cardinals and it's players haven't.

                                It just seems ridiculous to me to think that you can talk smack to someone when you haven't anything to brag about. Ever....

                                by RamsFan16
                                Ok this is on my opinion and it has nothing to do with you guys. But we have the worst fans at the Dome. I don't think they know how good they have it. I mean there at a Rams game and there Rams fans. I mean some times when the opponet does something good there fans at the stadium are louder than ours. Whenever we do something good it isn't loud at all. I mean I've been watching NFL Shortcuts for the Rams and other teams this week such as the Cardinals. And I find it very offending and embarassing that the Cardinal fans are louder than ours by about 500 times. I want it to be loud... Now please enlighten me. What is wrong with our fans at the dome? Grannit if were losing owell look at all the teams that have losing traditions. There louder than ever.

                                I would assume that most of the posters on this board are truly diehard and would go to the game at whatever cost, if at all possible ...

                                With that said ...

                                What is wrong with the fans in St. Louis?

                                1300 tickets still left? We are only 1 game into the season and the "fans" are giving up? I realize that for the majority of the third quarter and all of the first quarter, we play like horsecrap against the Panthers. Problem was, I saw fans leaving in the third quarter!!

                                I don't live in St. Louis. I live way down in Alabama and I got a chance to finally come to the game last year against the *****. I was amazed at how QUIET the dome was. Where is the passion? Where is the fight?

                                I don't understand how there could possibly still be tickets available! Nothing would stop me from going to the game, especially if I could get tickets for cheap. I wish I was able to drive to St. Louis this weekend, but it's just not possible ...

                                WE NEED SOME NOISE IN THE DOME THIS WEEK! The morale is this team is seemingly low, and we need a 12th man. Come on!

                                I might be the biggest homer ever, but I am sitting down, jumping around, screaming, and yelling at my TV every week, whether we are 6-2 or 1-7. I feel that I am a real fan, and I will support this team, every week, until I die. As a matter of fact, I haven't missed a single game in 6 years now, and sometimes it's hard to find a way to get them out of market. Now I have DirecTV, so I see em all, but I can't tell you how many crackshack bars I've been to in an effort to support my Rams ....

                                REMEMBER!!! We were 4-1 last year and lost several in a row. It's still early, and we can turn this around just as well: I have no doubt we'll rebound against the ***** ...

                                Rams 20, ***** 17 ...

                                I noticed during last weeks game that there was a lot of booing of the Rams, especially of Sam Bradford and the passing game. I also saw a quote on twitter that said Jeff Fisher was disappointed in the fans Thursday night.

                                It got me thinking, should we, as fans, boo and show our frustration during the games, or should we cheer no matter what.
                                If they're bad I boo, I spent the ticket money and I'll do what I want.
