Rams 0-2 starts rests on Martz's shoulders

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ST. LOUIS -- The smug, arrogant act of the St. Louis Rams coach ends now, a self-congratulatory, acid-tongued genius rapidly reduced to a common coaching clown, the red-nosed floppy-shoed folly threatening to topple the Greatest Show on Turf. What deserved to be a dynasty is decaying down by down, game by game. Mike Martz is the lost soul standing on the sidelines.

Every week, it gets worse for Martz. Every week, he slinks deeper and deeper into his own doing. Nobody cares. Nobody feels bad for him. He's brought everything on himself. His stubbornness blew the Super Bowl, his ego and carelessness profoundly costing the Rams this 0-2 start to the season. Yes, it gets worse every day.

Complete story...

Just my opinion but, the Rams biggest problem is their head coach. This team has been completely unprepared for three games in a row and, as a result, they've had to fight from a hole 3 games in a row. It's tough to win in the NFL when you spot the opposing teams a double digit lead every game.

Martz has been entirely too cavalier since the NFC Championship Game last January and it shows in the fact that the Rams haven't won a game since then.

The defense certainly didn't play well when they needed to but the fact that this team isn't scoring points in the first half is the biggest problem.

Usually I care more about the Rams this part of the year, but the Angels are doing so well...it's hard to believe the Rams are 0-2 instead of 2-0. Even in there bad years with Robinson, Malavasi, etc....they got off to good starts and then faltered.

They were 0-4 in pre-season too and played lousy. I didn't see the game yesterday. Just bits and pieces. Warner said it was his fault for the performance. Every coach gets cocky when they win. I was just talking about this at lunch today. Rams play at Tampa Bay next week on Monday night. That's 0-3. 49'ers may win the division this year.

Hey!There's always Lakers basketball if the NFL season doesn't look good. Steelers are even 0-2. Kordell needs to go.

I've never been a big Mike Martz fan. He fits the perfect analogy of smart vs. intelligent. Just because your intelligent doesn't mean your smart and just because your smart doesn't mean your intelligent. Martz seems to fit the later. I don't really think it's ego, it's more of a matter of that his smarts have gotten him this far without any real learning of what it takes to coach.
