Nope, The Rams have had some doozies over the years but nothing like that. In college, I covered the 5th Down game (Missouri-Colorado) and the "Norman Conquest" (Oklahoma 77, Mizzou 0). The Rams two Super Bowls during the Greatest Show period were memorable. But nothing quite like last Sunday in Candlestick. -

Coach Kevin Gilbride of the Giants complained that Justin Smith was repeatedly holding the offensive guard and creating a lane for Aldon Smith to rush the quarterback untouched. After Sunday's game between the Rams and 49ers it seems that Shelley Smith and Roger Saffold confirmed that he was doing the same thing all day in that game. Shouldn't Coach Fisher send in film to the league office to get the officials to pay attention to this since the Rams are going to play the 49ers again in about three weeks? -

It looked to me like this was a game where the officials were looking to call stuff, and to me those are the worst kind of crews and worst kind of games. These guys messed up the clock twice in the game: on a measurement in the first half and the re-spotting of the ball on Isaiah Pead late in the game. I still don't know why the flag was so late and 40 yards downfield on Amendola on the 80 yard play. That play decided the game. If, as Mike Pereira speculated, the refs wanted to make sure Saffold wasn't an eligible receiver, why did it take so long to decided that. If you see it, throw the flag. Also the "block in the back" was a very questionable call. From the press box side of the field, it look very much like a legal block on the side. Even on the delay call on the field goal, it was a very quick whistle. Most times, teams will get the benefit of the doubt for a click or half a click, but they didn't in this case. So I don't think it was a well-called game. -

I think Bradford is a bum. I don't know about you, but I expect a lot more out of a QB than a 67 percent completion percentage, 2 TD passes, a 104.1 passer rating, and a late-game go-ahead TD drive on the road against a team that's ranked second in the league in defense. That's a pretty feeble effort against a defense that hadn't given up a TD in four of it last five games. -

Darian Stewart really seems to have fallen into disfavor with the coaching staff. He was injured/inactive early in the season, but once he regained his health he really hasn't seen the field that I am aware of and was inactive against the 49ers. What don't they like about Stewart? Does he have any special teams value at all? -

You may be right. But I think we can all agree it would be good to see a 1a or 1b out there. The Rams need another playmaker or two on offense. Maybe it's Givens. Maybe it turns out to be Quick. But myself, I would still think long and hard about adding another player in the draft. -
