And I was especially pleased the 49ers beat the LOS ANGELES Rams. “I wasn’t trusting myself and my abilities”. “I will. And there’s that chance, too [that Goff is the backup]”. The San Francisco 49ers starting running back didn’t focus on all the national attention given to Los Angeles Rams heralded ball-carrier Todd Gurley.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher was outcoached, outplayed and dominated in almost every facet of Monday night’s contest against the San Francisco 49ers, his Rams were shutout, 28-0.
And now Keenum’s job status is increasingly tenuous after just one week. The game was all around one sided with the 49ers blowing out the Rams 28-0.
GOFF WAITS: Despite the struggles by Keenum, who was frequently off-target and struggled to get the ball down field at all, Fisher is not ready to turn the offense over to No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff. Keenum was sacked twice and hit hard multiple times.
Some of that is the reality of the social-media era, but much of it underscores the Rams’ current reality.
“He made some plays and then missed some opportunities”, Coach Jeff Fisher said. Tavon Austin did have one nice punt return in the third quarter which gave the Rams good field position. Louis Rams had been mediocre for years, and they’re wary of Fisher, who now has a record of 27-37-1 with the Rams. Let’s get right into it. I’m like man, I know I’m going to hurt a little bit, but really I’m not that banged up. “It wasn’t a shocker for people to see me go out there and do that”. “Trust the guys out there”. Even Britt realizes the Rams can’t rely on the passing game to win. “These are two captains that had significant penalties in this game”.
“We expected to go in there and win the football game”, Fisher said.
Case Keenum threw for just 130 yards with two interceptions, Gurley was held to 47 yards on 17 carries and the Rams barely even threatened the Niners as they were held to 185 yards and 10 first downs all game. This year’s season-opening, prime-time victory might be eerily similar to last year’s 20-3 tromping of the Minnesota Vikings, but a smothering defense and pass-rush surely stood alone and shined bright for San Francisco to separate this contest from last. What do they do, they cut him or release him.

The business of football is very much a business and Rams owner Stan Kroenke might be a disaffected figure much of the time, but he isn’t a complete rube. But to do that, they’d have to go.500 or better in the last 15 games of the season. “You overthink stuff because you don’t want to miss stuff”. “I’m just going to be honest because in L.A. there’s a lot of things to do – you can go to the beach, you can go to baseball games, Lakers games, Hollywood”.
