College Football Rivalry

The St. Louis Rams are looking at another dreadful season in 09′. They are one of the worst teams in the NFL - just a few short years ago the Rams were one of the most exciting teams in the history of the league.

I suppose one could point to their 9-7 loss at Washington as a sign that things are on the verge of improving, one fact remains. No telling how Washington is though and they may even be a weak team this year.

The St. Louis Rams have only scored 7 total points through the first two weeks of the 2009 football season. Having been blanked by the Seahawks in Seattle (28-0, couldn’t get much worse), the team traveled to Washington in week 2, carrying higher hopes.

The Rams have one of worst offenses in the NFL - not much is expected fort the Rams in 09′. Steven Jackson is the only player who can get something going.

Defense is not known to be their strong point, and without an effective offensive present, it’ll be extremely difficult for this team to win many games. They can’t stop the run nor can they stop the pass. I expect some really big scores against them this year.

It is doubtful the Rams will go winless like the Detroit Lions “accomplished” in 08′ - the Rams are not looking at many wins either. It’s hard to find bright spots with the Rams. The only player that the Rams can be proud is RB Stephen Jackson - Jackson has carried the Rams the last few seasons - a running back alone doesn’t win football games.

Bulger has been a long stay in the NFL world, and just a few short years ago, was considered one of the best quarterbacks in the game. While he’s not old, he may have lost his touch with the Rams.

If I was Steven Jackson, I would do whatever it takes to get out of St. Louis. It’s going to be a long time before this team has potential.
