After the win against San Francisco, I would have expected numerous positive tweets and message board posts about Bradford’s play in the game. However, I saw something entirely different. The STLtoday Rams board was full of negative Bradford posts. People on twitter were wondering about the lack of touchdowns.

This article is directed at those fans that are disillusioned, disappointed or even angry regarding Sam Bradford’s play. Last week, I asked for perspective. I noted all of the issues, in detail, that are holding back Sam Bradford. T...

The victories have positioned the Rams, who now have a 5-6-1 record, for a shot at making the playoffs and Jenkins is a huge reason as to why.

Wow, what a game. It may not have been the prettiest St. Louis Rams win ever, but it certainly was the grittiest.
