WOW. THAT IS HUGE!!! he would be automatic at the Bank and vs this defense in Minn you need as mamy points as you can get
That is actually big news considering how much they rely on their kicking game.
That's like if Walsh would have been unavailable for post season play...

wow, rams just took a tick or two down. Maybe they can trade for walsh...
The Rams are a good team, they aren't thriving because Zuerlien is hitting last second FGs. They'll be fine, this is much to do about nothing.
he has hit 38 of 40 FGs this year. Long of 56. That is a good chunk of offense. And a consistent one.
Tell me, what do you feel when you see Forbath line up for a long FG? Confidence?
Yes they are a good team with a good offense, but 38 FGs, or 158 total points is not insignificant.

Hell, they'll all be nail-biters lol!
@"StickyBun" said: The Rams are a good team, they aren't thriving because Zuerlien is hitting last second FGs. They'll be fine, this is much to do about nothing.What?? Are you serious Sticky? With legatron, any time they get in opposing field they are a threat for points. In the playoffs, versus tough defenses points are valuable and him being out means, instead of kicking from the 38 on 4th and 6, they are punting or risking giving great field position to a home team.
Road playoff game with a young QB versus eithe the Eagles or Vikings defense, you want a kicker that can convert long kicks confidently. This injury to me is more devastating than anyone but Gurley, Goff, Donald and Johnson.
Considering he leads the league in scoring & touchbacks & has missed only 1 50 plus yard field goal this season, I’d say it’s a huge loss.
Some good points made here, guys. I see what you are saying. More of a weapon than my post probably intimated. I think my point, not well made by me, is that the guy they've signed is still going to make some FGs. Its not like the position goes unmanned now. But to other's points, certainly not done with the confidence, ability or trust of Legatron.
Duly noted by me and properly corrected. Underestimated by me in my previous post certainly.
