After the Rams were blown out in Week 12, coach Jeff Fisher said that critics of his team’s efforts could kiss his ass.
The Rams got blown out again in Week 13, which should lengthen line for people to slap their lips on Fisher’s cheeks but he didn’t repeat his invitation after the 27-3 loss to the Cardinals. Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Fisher said he’s run out of answers after the game, although it’s been clear throughout his team’s five-game losing streak that solutions to problems aren’t part of the Rams’ M.O. this season.
Case Keenum will start at quarterback next week and he can’t really do any worse than Nick Foles, but it’s silly to think that there’s some silver bullet waiting for a 4-8 team that has been outscored 58-10 in the last two weeks.
A better use of time might be figuring out if Fisher should keep getting chances to coach the Rams. With Sunday’s loss, he’s guaranteed to go a fourth year in St. Louis without a winning record and it will mark the 14th time in his 20 full seasons as an NFL head coach, assuming this becomes a full season, that will end without a winning record for his club. That’s a lot of losing and the Rams might prefer a different approach wherever they’re playing games come 2016.
