Torry's Outburst

I have been of the opinion that Coach Linehan should get a third year to have a fair run at the head coaching job. Torry Holt's obvious displeasure during the Steeler game, coupled with Marc's 'eyeroll' earlier in the season is leading me to change my opinion. If you cant keep happy 100 percenter team guys who anyone would figure as the last 2 people to rock the boat, you need to get out of the way and let someone else give it a try. It appears to me that he has lost the team and that 3rd year would very likely be a disaster if he's still the coach. Just my opinion!

Lukewarm Fans

I am afraid both corporate season tickets and individual single game ticket holders are responsible for the empty seats and those filled with fans of the opposing team in the Edward Jones dome. I'd like to think there are a lot of dedicated Rams fans out there in St Louis, but it seems we have more than our share of the fair weather variety.

Thank the yuppies who stayed away and for allowing a lot of Packer fans in the prime seats, but then again the "nosebleed" seats aren't selling out either.

Don't know that I see a solution for it.

A competitive team would put them back in the seats, but I don't think the exodus we are seeing is in any way warranted when you consider this will be only the third losing season since 2000.

There just isn't a big enough hard core group of fans around. Much as it would pain me, if it continues, I think the organization would be justified to move.

On their side of the ledger, though, at some point Zygamunt and Shaw need to give a full time/full power "football" person in control - it is plain, simple, and STUPID to have bean counters in 3 piece suits having a lot of the say in the football operations. I also hope they are serious about making this LONG needed change in the hierarchy of the organization.

Second Half

I really want Coach Linehan to succeed with the Rams, but it sure appears that opponents are adjusting to our game plan at halftime, and we are not, at least on offense.

I'm not pretending for a nanosecond that I have an answer, but it's not looking like our coaches do either.

I know the extreme number of injuries plays into it also, but I can't help but think other teams are near the same situation. I don't know whether more creativity is needed or what, but it is glaring that we are in trouble in the second half, unless Joey Harrington is the opposing quarterback.

Sure hoping someone on our sideline has the answer, don't you?
