A Night To Forget For The LA Rams
- Updated: September 13, 2016
Monday night was a night that the Rams will always have in their books as the return to LA was finally made official during its first regular season game in over 20 years. The problem is, the team that left from St. Louis to Los Angeles is still the same team.
The problem wasn’t the fact that the Rams lost. In fact it wasn’t a surprise from an emotional standpoint. San Francisco is rocking with “Kaepernick Fever” and whose one moment to sit has made him the most popular backup quarterback in the history of the NFL. It was binded together with a team that is once again in search of finding its own identity.
The good news is, Todd Gurley can run. Yes he wasn’t effective and if you had him on your fantasy team this week, your numbers plummeted faster than Jared Goff’s stock on the Rams depth chart. For as poorly as the offensive line played, the fact that remains is Gurley didn’t get hurt. It’s pathetic, and it’s sad, but after a brutal beat down at the hands of your rival you can find the glass half full in the most desperate of places.
Now with the bad: it can be summed up to the lack of discipline. Tonight was a reminder that no matter how much talent this team has (or thinks it has) on both sides of the ball, they are still inexperienced and still need to learn what it takes to compete at a championship level. Aaron Donald‘s ejection summed up the night.
So well the rest of social media clamors and taunts the fans loyal to the Rams fan base (both Los Angeles and St. Louis) the pundits who felt the Rams were going to start the season off in style were forced to eat the truth.
The truth is the Rams still don’t have a franchise quarterback. A lot of uncertainty surrounds Goff and now the question will start to rise of whether or not he was really worth the number one overall pick.
The pride of the San Fernando Valley, head coach Jeff Fisher was seemingly playing checkers and his arms bunched to frustration well Chip Kelly was reminding LA fans what he is capable of/ USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins fans aren’t sure to forget what Kelly was doing to their teams during his tenure with Oregon.
To put it into Fisherman’s Wharf and reel in the cold hard truth, Jeff Fisher’s team wasn’t ready.
The good news is, Todd Gurley and Co. could put all the doubts to rest where the Rams will be playing in the Coliseum for the first time since 1979 when the LA Rams went to a Super Bowl. Will the magic be found? We’ll see next Sunday against the Seahawks.
