Filed under: Rams, NFC West The Rams were embarrassing Sunday in Philly. There’s just no other way to put it. The Eagles may end up being one of the NFC powers, but getting pummelled in every aspect of the game on opening weekend is no way to begin a season, especially following a 3-13 campaign.

For Scott Linehan’s head coaching career, the writing may be on the wall quite soon. He started 4-1, and has since gone 7-21. That won’t cut it in high school football, much less the National Football League.

He’s in full-on mea culpa mode, though: “We didn’t play very well, and it’s my job to get the team prepared to play. … If you want to put your eyes on the person that didn’t get their job done, it’s me.” Obviously it wasn’t just Linehan. I doubt he has it in him, but a few more games like this and we could be looking at a Jim Mora-level, “our offense sucks, our defense sucks, the whole teams sucks!” meltdown.
