RAMS VS CHIEFS

12/19/10

Hello once again Ram’s Fans!  It was a cold and gloomy day in Saint Louis although we’re sure the tailgaters were out in force.  Bloomer Bret would go to his usual haunt only to be like the Maytag Repairman.  Sigh, the day wasn’t going to get any better.

Bloomer Bret playing the Maytag repairman, at least for three quarters anyway. Showing up for the last quarter does not get you on the website

RAMS VS CHIEFS

Folks as much as we hate to say it, this game was reminiscent of the Lambs of the last 6 years.  The game was ugly and aside from Jackson and the defense (for the most part) the Rams didn’t show up.

The Rams got the ball first and were moving the ball with ease but got hung up (again) in the red zone.  Jump out to a 3-0 lead.  The defense shuts KC down and the Rams come right back but again get stymied although this time because they shot themselves in the feet with stupid penalties.  Tack on another 3 for a 6-0 lead.  If only it shoulda, woulda, coulda been 14-0.

Before long the Chiefs would strike back albeit not easily and take a 14-6 lead into half time.  Folks after the second field goal on their 2^nd drive, the Rams never saw the KC side of the 50 yard line again.  Well ok except for their 3^rd series which was a result of an interception and they started at the KC 48 only to back peddle.

The offense (other than Jackson), was flat.  The play calling was flat and unimaginative.  The Rams committed stupid penalties.  It was ugly.  The defense would concede only two field goals and the Chiefs would take a 20-6 lead into the 4^th quarter.  Then amazingly enough, somebody woke the you-know-what-up and the Rams scored a TD.  20-13 with almost five minutes left.  One more defensive stand and the Rams would have a chance to tie the game.

Unfortunately, the defense that had spent the better part of the ENTIRE game on the field, gave up an 80 yard run on the Chiefs 2^nd play from the 18.  An easy two yard scamper after that and the Chiefs pretty much sealed it up with a score of 27-13 which was the final. 

Next week the Rams will be home again to take on the 49ers.  Their final game will be on the road in Seattle.  If the Rams REALLY want to make the play offs this year, they must win their next two games.  Otherwise it’s wait until next year.  If they continue to put forth the effort we watched yesterday however, they might as well save us all a bunch of time and money and pack it in now.  Hell why risk injury for that lethargic performance.

Finally the St. Louis Bloomer’s Tailgating Club would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas!  If it’s a holiday you don’t celebrate, have a good time anyway.  That’s it folks, be good, take care and as always, “watch your top knot”.
