Stumbling, mostly bumbling, Rams fire Jeff Fisher
Afer a 3-1 start in their new California home, the Los Angeles Rams have reverted back to stumbling ways more typical of their last 12 years in St. Louis.
Their 42-14 beating at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons was their eighth loss in nine games and tied Jeff Fisher with Dan Reeves for the all-time record for losses by a head coach. Fisher, fired Monday, by the way, was extended a two-year extension on his contract with the team just last week.
Here’s what Los Angeles and some national media are saying about their new battering Rams:
▪ Rams return to LA officially is an embarrassment
▪ What we learned in the Rams’ 42-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons
▪ The Rams are a mess and Jeff Fisher has to go
▪ Frustration, failure a recurring theme for Rams
▪ Rams GM Les Snead disputes report of toxic relationship with Coach Jeff Fisher
▪ The longer the Rams keep Jeff Fisher the more fans they push away
▪ Gurley speaks his mind about Rams’ “middle school” offense
▪ Los Angeles Rams already can’t fill their stadium
▪ The Jeff Fisher Rams are an offensive tragedy
▪ Rob Lowe gives up on Rams during embarrassing Week 14 loss
The Twitter crowd has had its say, too. Here are some favorites:

Watching the #Rams play is the equivalent of taking a lude.

Please stop joking that Johnny "Pokemaster" Hekker is the Rams' best player.

It's not a joke.
There's a fan on the field and he's tackled at the 45-yard-line. Best defensive play of the game goes to LA Coliseum security. #LARams
