They need help. I am a diehard Packers fan and felt sorry for how much trouble Sammie was in because his only legit blocker, receiver and bailout help is Stephen Jackson. I am sooooo sick of Sammie's passes bouncing off the jersey numbers, both receiver gloves, you name it, perfectly thrown passes that are just squandered.

I've tried to think that perhaps it's Sam's fault, that he's throwing the ball too hard or something, but this is the NFL. If you are a wide receiver, or a tight end, or any position expected to catch, you CATCH THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Clayton comes off the PUP list this week......

Wow... so they might suddenly go from "Suck for Luck" to playoff contenders again, because I swear, they are better than their winless record shows.

They're worse than last year, because at least last year their D was holding teams pretty well. This year not so much...

They seriously need better blocking up front, I thought Clay Matthews was going to kill Sam.

In other news Adrian Peterson needs to get his *** out of Minnesota.

AD won't leave Minny for the same reason Sammie won't: Big, lucrative, longterm deals signed recently. Sammie signed his $50 mil guaranteed deal after getting drafted last year, while AD signed his huge extension last offseason.

Hope-fully Minn will draft Luck next year....

Dammit Broncos, what are you doing. Come on John Elway, we need you.

But since it's a contract year I believe, I understand that's it better to get some value than no value

Is he going to play OLine for them too?

Did anyone catch last night's game? I saw ponder had dirt/grass smears on the front of the jersey. Must have been knocked down a lot, heh. Also must mean that McNabb got McBenched.

I think Denver is actually going for Luck. Last Standford QB worked out pretty good

I hope so. But they have much more pressing problems than quarterback. Indianapolis should just find a way to forfeit the rest so they don't run the risk of missing out on Luck.

But again, I'm a Tebow fan. The guy isn't the best quarterback by far, and man does he have his flaws at the position, but I like what he brings with his attitude and fire.

Denver just gave up their best receiver for a 6th round, maybe 5th round pick..I don't know what's going on in that front office, but it's full of stupid.
CowboyMRW
10/17/2011, 05:37 PM
What?!?!?!? Everything I read was that they were going to get a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick for Lloyd. I knew they were shopping around Lloyd and Royal.

Damn, I hope Mr. Elway knows what he's doing. We haven't been relevant since 2007 and that seemed like an anomaly that year

the Rams need more than WR's. Why pay that type of money for Bradford and not get him help.

No, a conditional sixth round pick, could be a five depending on how many receptions Lloyd ends up getting.

I understand that AD wants his money but from a fans point of view I would like to see him on a better team.

Yup and it appears Lloyd is more than happy to get out of Denver..Who knows what is going on over there

Maybe we're taking the Detroit route. Suck for 8 years, and build up a lot of good first picks and then wham! A decent team.

Megatron and Suh, the best at their position, IMO. Absolute game changers right there. Maybe Von will become a game changer for us. Between him and Dumerveil, I feel like we should be getting a lot of quarterback pressure every game.

Offensively, I think they are an offense without an identity..I don't know what they do well or what they want to do well..

Bradford injured.

ST. LOUIS (AP)—It might be a while before Rams quarterback Sam Bradford(notes) can work with newly acquired Brandon Lloyd(notes).

Bradford has a high left ankle sprain and is in a walking boot, leaving his status for this week’s game at Dallas in question.

“I think you are always concerned when you see your quarterback in a boot,” Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said. “In my experience with the high ankle sprains, you just never know.”




Bradford was injured during winless St. Louis’ 24-3 loss at Green Bay on Sunday, and Spagnuolo said he had a noticeable limp when he reported for a team meeting Monday afternoon.

"High" ankle sprain is sports code for 4-6 weeks out.

Curse word curse word curse word. You mean we all waiting through six weeks of losing to finally see Sammie throw to Clayton and now it might not even happen?!

Booooooo injuries. They are wrecking the game! :mad:

If injuries were on facebook I would "DISLIKE" them :P

Adding insult to injury, I heard Sam's injury happened on his last play of the game.

I'm just glad that the Rams didn't pick up D Mason. Mark Clayton would have been all like, "oh **** me!"
