As if the sting from losing 34-7 didn’t hurt enough, the Rams have now lost their All-Pro offensive tackle, Jake Long, for the season with an ACL injury. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for the Rams…

But wait, there’s more.

Rams WR Brian Quick has a dislocated shoulder and torn rotator cuff and is likely done for the season, per source.

The Rams – like most teams in the physical NFC West – have been decimated by injuries this season. A dampness covered this team after losing Sam Bradford in the preseason, making it seem as if a successful 2014 campaign was impossible.

Zac Stacy has been referred to as a ‘Matt Asiata‘s and Shonn Greene‘s child’; not exactly praise for the underwhelming running back.

If the Rams can stay healthy in future seasons, they will be a dangerous bunch. Aaron Donald is the real deal, and there’s a ton of young talent on both sides of the ball.

Being said, 2014 is a dead season for the once ‘Greatest Show on Turf.’
