anyone watching this game? is the panthers d that good or what? the rams offense is non existent today... bulger hasnt done much and sj the same.... wtf?
The Rams started slow last year, too. The coaching staff did not play its starters, and did not play Jackson at all, in the preseason. The offense will get better, but this was more than the Panthers' defense. Bulger was off. Jackson was careless carrying the ball. Pace got hurt. It was a debacle. But, it will get better, and Jackson will have some very good games the rest of the season.

Thanks for the words of optimism Dak. I just think all of us who took Sjax #2 overall thought we could rely on him for more than negative points. And no one wants to start the season 0-1.
I have S Jax, but I still may not lose..... Delhomme pulled through like a champ!!!! T.O. needs to go HUGE, and my 9'ers D better step up! I have a good shot..... T.O. gets 2 TDs and it's a sure thing.... but he HAS to get one TD for me to win this week..... but yeah..... THANKS SJ.
Today's performance was embarrassing. I just got home from the game, and the 2nd half was awful. I don't think Carolina played very well actually, but we played like crap. Offensively the play calling was horrendous, we were terrified to go down the field and were settling for these dink and dunk patterns. Steven Jackson couldn't get anything going, he couldn't hold onto the ball... Bugler looked like crap. Holt was the one bright spot offensively.
Defensively we couldn't stop the run if our lives depended on it. Same old Rams defense.
Dante Hall had an awesome return to start the 2nd half, but that was about it for special teams.
A bad start to the season. Hopefully we'll get better, but we need to start throwing the ball down field. I'm sick of this short crap we're doing.

Reggie Bush sucked for me, but I knew in the back of my mind that I had Steven Jackson left, and he would make up some lost points.
Boy, was I wrong. What a letdown...
The Rams had better pull it together next week, because anymore showings like this, and I'm going to have to make myself eligible for the Darren McFadden sweepstakes.
