Same old story for Fletcher; no nods for Titans,…

Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher leads the NFL with 163 tackles this season, so it’s understandable that he was a bit frustrated to find out that he wasn’t selected to the NFC’s Pro Bowl squad on Tuesday.

“Don’t know if I should be upset or laugh. Obviously it doesn’t matter what u do on the field!” Fletcher tweeted.

For Fletcher, it was another in a career full of Pro Bowl snubs; the former St. Louis Rams and Buffalo Bills defender has been among the NFL’s tackling leaders every season for the last decade, but has only a couple recent Pro Bowl appearances (and as an alternate at that) to show for it.

The Redskins were one of four NFL teams that did not have a player make the Pro Bowl this season: The St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans were the other three.

At 8-7, the Titans are the only team among the four that still has a chance to make the postseason.

It was the second straight year that the Bills were shut out in Pro Bowl voting, although Buffalo running back Fred Jackson probably would have made the AFC team if he had hadn’t suffered a season-ending broken leg in Week 11.

Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks were shut out in the NFC, the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC.

Rams might need nuclear power blast to fix things

 

Some fans want the St. Louis Rams’ ownership to blow up the franchise and begin again with new front office personnel, coaches and players.

The way the 2-12 Rams have been playing, it’s a tempting thought. And perhaps dynamite the Edward Jones Dome while you are at it.

Just kidding — I think.

When you talk about the Rams, nothing seems safe. They’ve gone from disappointing to pointedly disturbing in a perplexing season marred by numerous injuries and various frustration factors.

The bottom line is they aren’t getting it done and that’s the most unacceptable point in what had the makings of a promising season. Remember, the Rams went 7-9 last year, but it was a six-game improvement over their 2009 season, when they won once.

And St. Louis was within a victory of making the 2010 playoffs. It came down to the final week when Seattle beat the Rams and entered the postseason as the NFC West champs at 7-9.

The West Division could be the worst one in the NFL and that’s another sticking point to the Rams’ Lost Season. San Francisco has improved tremendously since last season. Seattle and Arizona seemed mired with the Rams in mediocrity early in 2011, but both the Seahawks and Cardinals have found their mojo.

While the division-champion 49ers were 11-3 heading into weekend play, the Seahawks and Cardinals were 7-7. That’s a further indictment of the Rams, five games behind Seattle and Arizona. St. Louis is the only team in the West that has gotten progressively worse. The Rams could be battling Indianapolis and Minnesota for the No. 1 draft pick.

That’s serious stuff. The Rams are a mess now for a multitude of reasons and I don’t know if having the first, second or third draft choice will help them that much.

Maybe it’s time for owner Stan Kroenke to turn the dogs loose in ferreting out the underachievers and erasing the trouble spots and going in a different direction. But which trail should the Rams take?

They have a young quarterback to build around, but a receiving corps that’s slim to none. So unless they stockpile a load of quality receivers quickly, you’d think they could prop up their running game first.

Steven Jackson’s still around, though he’s not getting any younger or more durable with a shaky and oft-injured offensive line in front of him. Thus unless the Rams devise a way to boost their woebegone offense, they are back where they started.

It’s a team that can’t pass or run effectively, and those teams rarely win in the NFL. Or they win two of their first 14 games.

I could be wrong about this, but I don’t think a quick fix or cosmetic makeover is going to turn the Rams into a beauty of a franchise. It’s going to take some deep soul-searching and deciding upon a plan that makes the most sense in getting this team up to speed with at least their West Division competitors.

It’s called an identity and right now the Rams have none. Their defense is credible, but they can’t rely on any one phase of their team to supply them with a win.

Saddled with an identity crisis, the Rams prove to be just good enough to lose.

Thus, rolling hand grenades through the front office, coaches’ quarters and locker room may be necessary. But if the Rams go thermonuclear, they should just be careful what they wish for — there’s always unwanted fallout.

On the other hand, it surely can’t get worse than it has been this season. The 1-15 campaign two years ago wasn’t this aggravating.

Sam Bradford Injury: Bradford Ruled Out Vs….

Read More: Kellen Clemens (QB – STL), Sam Bradford (QB – STL), Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, St. Louis Rams

In Week 14, the St. Louis Rams pushed QB Sam Bradford into action against the Seattle Seahawks with an injured ankle and watched him put up the third lowest quarterback rating (49.9) of his young career. Bradford has been listed as doubtful for the Rams’ Week 15 match up vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, and on Sunday morning he was downgraded to out, according to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

In his place will be Kellen Clemens, the one-time New York Jet who was claimed off waivers by the Rams from the Houston Texans a mere few weeks ago. It’s been an ugly season for the Rams, and with a quarterback who has only been with the team for two weeks going up against the leagues 11th rated passing defense, it doesn’t look like the trend will be broken on Sunday.

today at 8:24 AM

(FootballStL) – It will be a rare CBS telecast of the St. Louis Rams followed by “Tebow-mania” on KMOV-TV (channel 4) on Sunday.

The first game of the doubleheader set for Sunday will pin the Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) against the St. Louis Rams (2-11) at noon. 

Although the Rams will likely be without quarterback Sam Bradford, the Bengals will showcase their sensational rookie-combo of quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green.

It is only the twelfth time the two teams have played each other and the first time since 2007 when the Bengals beat the Rams 19-10 in Cincinnati.

The second game of the doubleheader will feature the high-flying New England Patriots (10-3) offense and the surging Denver Broncos (8-5) at 3 p.m.

The Broncos are currently riding on a high thanks to the emergence of quarterback Tim Tebow and a six-game winning streak that has catapulted the team into the playoff picture.  

 

That’s all for today guys, i’ll be back to blog you tomorrow.
