Well it is about time to go shopping. There is Black Friday, the day after Christmas, New Years Sales, and then there is the 2009 NFL Free Agent Period. Below you will see the 2009 NFL free agent lists by team. This list is sorted by Ranking and provided by Scout.com. Until the St. Louis Rams select a coach for the season we really do not know what players they may be looking at. The Rams could use a Jordan Gross and many others on this list but who can they realistically sign? Who would you like to see the Rams pick up?

Every week I will make my NFL GameDay predictions. We would love it if you share your opinions, or your own predictions in the comment area of our Fan-Sided forum area. All picks will be straight-up, not against the spread. Last week was our best week of the year going 14-2. We are doing pretty good so far going 162-93-1 (63%). My NFL Playoff Predictions for this week are below. Good Luck to you.

This week my upset special is a no-brainer. I will be selecting the Arizona Cardinals over the Atlanta Falcons. Most everyone thinks the Falcons will run all over the Cardinals. Sure the Cardinals only won 2 of their final 6 games. However during that streak the Cardinals still averaged 23 points a game, and in their last game Kurt Warner threw 4 TDs. I like this game a lot. Kurt Warner is the experienced verteran against the young rookie QB Matt Ryan. Sure the Falcons can run the ball but the Cardinals can throw it with the best of them. The Cardinals Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breston all had over 1000 yards receiving. This will be the Arizona Cardinals first home Playoff game and it will show. Adrian Wilson is a great safety and the Cardinals will be playing with a ton of emotion. I look for the Cardinals to put up enough points today to hold off the Falcons.

In other games I like San Diego over the Colts, Miami over Baltimore, and the Eagles over the Vikings.

What are your thoughts? Who do you think will come up large this week?

Arizona Cardinals

San Diego Chargers

Miami Dolphins

Philadelphia Eagles

Last Week 14 -2

Year to Date 162 - 93 - 1

The 2009 NFL Draft Order has been set for all of the teams that missed the 2008 NFL Playoffs. The St. Louis Rams locked up the #2 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. First the Rams will need to hire a new head coach, evaluate current players and decide which of their free agents they need to resign, and sign other teams free agents as well. After all of that they will be ready for the 2009 NFL draft. However as fans we are already focused on the draft and everyone is already analyzing those players. Please note teams ranked 16 through 32 will change as the playoffs progress.

Writing on wall for Haslett

I don’t care about any High School petition from the St. Louis Rams players who want to keep Jim Haslett. Rams fans have already seen the writing on the wall for Jim Haslett. How can you still be on the fence for Haslett? In a year that will see five to ten head coaching changes in the NFL the Rams need to get a jump on their reorganization. Haslett should not be in the mix, he should already be fired. I will now push you over the fence (wall) with facts.

The Rams have lost 10 straight games, a franchise record with Jim Haslett as the Head Coach. The Rams have been in the NFL for 71 years!

In 2008 The Rams were 31st in scoring defense with Haslett as the DC and Head Coach.

In 2007 The Rams were 31st in scoring defense with Haslett as the Defensive Coordinator.

In 2006 The Rams were 28th in scoring defense with Haslett as the Defensive Coordinator.

In 2005 Haslett’s last year with the Saints they were 28th in scoring defense with him as DC.

Tye hill and Adam Carriker both 1st round defensive draft picks have regressed since being drafted.

Rams allowed 155 yards rushing per game this year.

Rams outscored 287 -136 over last ten games. Where were the half time adjustments?

Its time. Haslett Get Out!

The 2009 St. Louis Rams Schedule has been released. Dates of the games have not been set yet. The Rams will play four 2008 playoff teams in 2009. The records of the Rams 2009 opponents were 119-137 in 2008. That is a winning percentage of only .464. The Rams have very hard games against the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts in 09. If you throw out those two games Rams opponents were 94-130 for a .419 winning percentage. The Rams play in the worst division in football and need to find a way to start winning division games again.
