Bret's smiling here but you wouldn't have wanted to be around him watching the game
This was the final scheduled game of the year and the NFL bumped it to Sunday night since it was win or die for both teams. Hence Bloomer Bret decided he’d watch the game at home. Odds are he’d be asleep prior to its end anyway. Boy was he wrong.
RAMS VS SEAHAWKS
Folks first off we’d like to say congratulations and thank you to the players on this team. For a team comprised mostly of rookies, nobody in St. Louis thought they’d be playing at the end of the season for the division title and a shot at the play offs. If they tell you they did they’re lying. 4-12 were most predictions but some with their head in the clouds or on drugs actually went out on a limb and said maybe 6-10.
We believe the players on the team played with heart, compassion and pride. We don’t think they ever gave up in a game except for maybe the Detroit debacle but blow outs happen. Our hats are off to the players.
What we cannot stand, tolerate, fathom, understand or whatever is Spagnuolo. Last night’s game made it pretty apparent he won’t remain a head coach in the NFL for long unless he changes his ways.
This is the NFL, the greatest sport on earth. When you get a team down, you pummel them just like a prize fighter would. You don’t give them a chance to get up, catch their breath and re-group because 9 times out of 10, they’ll come back and whup up on you.
Last night’s game was the Superbowl for both teams. It was as big as it will get this year as either team probably gets beat out in the first round of the play offs. So in this game, they were playing as if it was the last game ever. Go out and leave everything on the field. Don’t hold anything back. Katie bar the doors because here we come. Well Seattle played that way. Spagnuolo decided to take a conservative route.
THE LAST GAME EVER AND HE PLAYS IT CONSERVATIVELY? Is he that much of a pompous ass or just an ass? Ok so you want to play conservative? Fine, give the ball to Jackson. Seattle couldn’t stop a running game all year long and Jackson is one of the best. Did Spag-no-no do that? Nooooo. Jackson got the ball 11 times. 11 TIMES!? He doesn’t even get warmed up until he’s touched it 15 times and then gets in his groove after 20. 11 times. That is just ludicrously absurd.
Yes there were dropped balls but hey, these are rookies, give them more chances. Bradford didn’t attempt a deep pass until well into the fourth quarter. TOO LATE NOW SPAG-NO-NO. Even Chris Collinsworth pointed out the Rams were being overly conservative and that the Seahawks had pulled everyone up allowing them to bust up the short underneath passes and stuff the run. Spag-no-no is an idiot when it comes to head coaching.
Let’s look at one more thing. Like we said above, you get somebody down in the NFL you jump on them. Stomp them and beat them down so they don’t even want to get up. Look back at the loss to the 49ers and Tampa Bay and Oakland. Had Spag-no-no not played it so conservative once the Rams had a lead, we might have won two of those three or maybe all three and last night’s game would have been meaningless.
Folks this will most likely be the last report you ever read on this website. Odds are the website will go by the wayside as well. Most of the post game fodder here comes from Bloomer Bret. Well he says no more. Last night’s game reminded him of why he quit going to the games, he takes it personally.
This is his town, his City and the Rams are his team. Hey if the Rams play their butts off and get beat, give the opposition credit where it’s due but don’t embarrass this town and it’s fans because you were afraid to take the gloves off or let the horse run. By the start of the fourth quarter Bloomer Bret’s blood pressure was so high (he’s always at 110/70 normally) that he could see his heart beat pounding in his forehead. Spag-no-no never game the team a chance until it was too late and they had to go into panic mode and by then the Seahawks were flying high with adrenalin.
The Rams have nothing to be ashamed of. Spag-no-no on the other hand ought to be the guy apologizing to his players, Stan Kronke and most of all the great fans of St. Louis. Players want to know why fans sell their tickets? Because they take it personally and when the team beats themselves rather than gets beat, it hurts.
Bloomer Bret says no more, he’s done. He was so worked up after that game he couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned when he did finally. Adios, see you later, aufetersein, sionara, good bye, good riddance.
Finally the St. Louis Bloomer’s Tailgating Club would like to wish you the very best. May your hopes and dreams all come true and may your skies always be sunny and blue. That’s it folks, be good, take care and good bye.
