If Bulger starts on Monday, and with T(tantrum) O(overrated) out; Do the Rams have a chance to win?

Re: So..........................

We do have a chance to win. After Owens, the next two wide receivers on the Eagles' roster have 36 and 14 catches respectively. What we'll have to watch for is Brian Westbrook, because he's a very dangerous back and I suspect we'll see a lot of him without Owens in there.

Re: So..........................

In this NFL, every team always has a chance to win.

I'll go out on the line right now and call out this team and say they won't even SNIFF the victory.

I am DYING to be shown wrong.

They play a good, close game, I come on Tuesday and say I was wrong. If Bulger throws more TDs than picks, I'll give him his due. If he throws for 300 yards in a victory, I'll hand it to him.

There's the rub. Our D. So what that TO is gone? McNabb will find a way with the defensive pacifism we're demonstrating.

Re: So..........................

If the team hasn't already quit on the season then the Rams have a chance to win on Monday night. But after Sunday, I feel like the team has already mailed it in. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: So..........................

If anything, Miami's victory over New England should show that even the mightiest can fall. Hopefully the Rams were watching that contest and learned something from it.

Re: So..........................

I agree..it looks like the season has been mailed in.

But to answer the question...I think they have a great chance to win.

We do have a chance to win. After Owens, the next two wide receivers on the Eagles' roster have 36 and 14 catches respectively.

....and if I'm not mistaken...1 TD between the two of them.


With TO out, and the game at the ED and Bulger coming back, hopefully without too much rust from missing two games, I think we have a chance. But no chance in hell if we play the way we've been. Some leaders are going to have to step up to the plate and carry the rest of the team. If we limit our penalties and stay focused, I think we can do it.

Martz is going to have to do a better job of making adjustments during the game if we are going to pull this off. The game plan must be sound and designed to play to the strength of our healthy players.

If the Dolphins can beat the Pats...there's no reason we can't beat the Eagles at home....unless we beat ourselves.

Re: So..........................

Good question RAMMAN. Sorry I missed you at beautiful Sun Devil Stadium on Sunday. I think the Rams have a chance to beat any team as long as they stay away from turnovers and penalties, and Philly is due for a letdown.
As others have mentioned, I just hope the team hasn't quit on itself after that debacle in the desert.

Re: So..........................

Hey Mike;
Sorry, I left my cell in my room on Sunday.
Anyway; I'm very deflated at this point in the season.
Sunday's game was so horrable, I left after Holt lost the ball in the end zone.
Being heckeled(?) by Cardinal fan is defenatly a low point as a Ram fan.

The Rams should be approaching this game as if it were a playoff game.
Will Martz pull his head out of his rear end and utilize a back who was averaging 4.7 yards a carry?
Will Bulger be sharp?
Will the O line show some signs of life a block for a change?
Will the D show up?

These are questions that will be answered only in "The Twilight Zone"! :upset:

RAMMAN, being taunted and ridiculed by Cardinal fans leaving the stadium was also my lowest point as a Ram fan. It was embarrassing and frustrating knowing we couldn't beat a reeling team that was swept by the whiners. I'm usually pretty good at giving it back to those taunting my Rams, but in this case there was nothing I could say. A very helpless feeling.

Re: So..........................

I think the Rams have a great shot of winning this week.
They are tough on Monday night, and the dome gives them a big advantage (more than most home-field advantages around the league).
Marc's return will also pump the team. And the loss of TO was a BIG shot to the Eagles. Reid will play to win, but not to the point of risking injury to key players. There are also some coaches in St. Louis who will be coaching for their jobs on Monday night (a few players, too.)
