“I was seeing ghosts,” Keenum said, via ESPN.com. “I was seeing things that weren’t there. I wasn’t trusting myself and my abilities. I tried too hard. I just have to let the game come to me, take what the defense gives me, trust my teammates — they do a great job — and get the ball out of my hands to the right place.”

Jeff Fisher credited SF. I asked how team could play so poorly w/ 7 months to prepare. Said no excuses but added team moved 4x in 7 months.

Jeff Fisher told his team that he wouldn’t be tolerating “7-9 bullshit” any longer and gave the world exactly the soundbite it needed to mock him every time the Rams lose this season.
...
And that’s weird, because the fact that he brought up 7-9 at all means he has to be aware of what people are saying about him specifically, which is that he’s a mediocre coach skating on his personability and relationships.

Cut to the season opener.

The Los Angeles Rams were shut out on Monday Night Football, 28-0, in what we can only pray will be the worst game we see all season. Last season, it would have had the eighth-worst output by total yardage (2016 is off to a roiling start, Bills-Ravens would have been third) out of 256 total games played. Case Keenum threw two interceptions and averaged 3.7 yards per attempt, and is two spots ahead of the 2016 No. 1 overall pick on the depth chart.

A good defense did its best, but its spirit broke after the Rams offense ended 11 straight drives with a punt or interception. The 49ers finished a 77-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter after their previous six drives averaged minus-0.8 yards. On their next possession, the Niners got to the end zone in 11 plays over 80 yards, 27 of which came from penalties that Aaron Donald earned in an on-field outburst.

"It was funny. I hit him up (because) I'm actually heading up to the game (Saturday), and I hit him up to do dinner Saturday night," Wes Welker said on 560 WQAM in Miami (via ESPN.com). "(Brady) was like, 'I'm going to be flying in from Ann Arbor later, but hey, how about that morning we go throw?' And I'm just sitting there, like, 'I was just thinking about dinner, but yeah, sure.' I'll get over there early and we can throw a little bit. That's the only thing we really have planned."
