But that was on the road and that was before Monday night happened.

“We don’t have those kind of fans that are just the loyal diehard fans like a Packers fan or a Steelers fan”, Dickerson said.
The second game in a double-header (and a complete shutout), the Rams’ 28-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers averaged a 7.1 rating among households in Nielsen’s metered markets.
The 49ers are hardly a juggernaut. The Rams barely used Gurley in the preseason to keep him healthy, but his fresh legs weren’t much good against a San Francisco defence that smothered him, particularly between the tackles.
Best rule change: One year ago moving the PAT back.
The NFC West is the NFL’s toughest division, so the road only gets more treacherous from here. Every Rams possession ended in a punt or turnover.
On the first of Hyde’s two scores, an 11-yard run in the first quarter, he exhibited a combination of patience, agility and acceleration on his way into the end zone. Los Angeles is off to a bad start that was capped by Aaron Donald’s ejection, and they better do show some sort of improvement soon to keep fans interested this season.
The 49ers say their strengths defensively are depth and versatility. The offense under Chip Kelly was anticipated to be fast, as per usual, but the efficiency displayed on Monday night was not expected at all. However, they had their hands full with the Rams seeming to go 3 and out almost every time they had the ball.
And forget HBO, because the real hard knocks start now.
The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off a come-from-behind victory over the Miami Dolphins, are coming to the Coliseum for the Rams’ home opener.
“I tell you what, he got whole lap in before they got him and that was pretty good…” The Buccaneers looked great Sunday. They’re loaded with young, talented players and they’re capable of giving opponents problems.
SERIES HISTORY: 36th regular-season meeting. Even the best Rams made mental missteps. Brown made eight catches for 126 yards. Donald was flagged for roughing the passer after hitting Blaine Gabbert late. Brockers, a first-round pick in 2012, is in the final year of his rookie contract, which the Rams extended last April when they picked up his fifth-year option. Since the Rams’ 1994 departure, Los Angeles has had a dynastic NBA team, a Stanley Cup-winning NHL team, a really strong MLB team, a World Series-winning MLB team that oddly has “Los Angeles” in its name even though it isn’t in Los Angeles, a dynastic college football team, a dynastic MLS team, and a consistently elite college basketball team.

But a couple of thoughts on Goff: It’s not as if the offense was rolling without him and he would have gummed up the works; the Rams couldn’t budge anyway. Steven Snyder came all the way from Edwardsville for the cheap ice cream, “Definitely revenge I went to most of the games a year ago we spend good money trying to show support for the community and considering the way they went out I don’t feel bad at all”.
