Amendola is the Man

The three games that Danny missed, the Rams lost. With his return everyone hoped that it would mean a possible win.

Well, it could have and should have been a win because Danny Amendola did everything in his power to make it happen and then some. In fact you really couldn't ask for more from any single individual on a team.

Danny proved to the team, to the 49ers and to the entire NFL that he is a force to be dealt with and to be respected. Amendola may be considered a slot receiver, but the 49er game proved that he is far more than just an ordinary slot receiver. He is the star receiver of this offense and if anyone ever had any doubts prior, he should have wiped all those doubts away with his performance against the 49ers!

This game could have been a career game for him had others around him not screwed up at the most important times in the game as well as in OT. Here is a guy that did more than play his heart out but gave the team every opportunity in the world to wind the damn thing as well.

If this team wants to keep the good players that they do have on this team, then Fisher is going to have to find some way to get this team from committing so many detrimental penalties, because it won't be long before those who do it all right, may be wanting off this team.

But let's hope that's not the case with Danny, because this team needs him plain and simple.

No Answers, No Plans for Humiliation

The players claim they have no answers for the horrendous humiliation they offered up to their fans as entertainment in London. Maybe it's because they didn't have a well laid out plan. Hell, if you ask me, they didn't have a plan at all. It was if after that first drive, they looked over at the Pats and just decided to commit football suicide and then throw out the white flag.

It was just one of the worst things that has been witnessed this season so far. It was bad enough that a game that was suppose to be a home game was taken from us and then come into a huge stadium that favored the Patriots to begin with. That was like  deliberate suicide on the part of the Rams owner from conception. Stan may say they wanted the Rams to be "branded" in England, but did he have any idea they'd get "branded" alright, as pathetic losers, not well fought tough losers, but a team that reminds us of 2011.

Let's hope that this team and the coaches use their bye week to really reflect back upon one of the worst outings of the season and from it learn something, anything! Especially how to utilize the red zone. Chris Givens for instance seems to be the key play maker outside of Amendola and it is time that they give him full reigns plain and simple. Stop treating him like a rookie, he appears to be able to handle it, so let him handle it, plain and simple. Make him the key piece of the puzzle. End of discussion.

Givens Becoming Possible Big Threat

Both Givens and Bradford haven quite been on the same page for a lot of the season and often times it's Bradfords inability to see him on the field, however, when they do connect it always seems to generate a huge play that no one else in this receiving corp seems to be able to do. So this makes Givens a possible deep threat in coming weeks.

He has definitely been asked to step it up since the loss of Danny Amendola and for the most part, as a rookie, he's faired well. In fact he has surprisingly been the team's most impress first year receiver due to the fact that the rookie Brian Quick has been more than disappointing.

Let's hope that the two of these guys can continue to improve their relationship so that we might finally have someone that Bradford can utilize in order to open up the offense and stop relying so much upon the leg of Zeurlein.
