If we lose this, is it certain that we fire Fleming?

As of now, there is no official word that Fleming is signed after this season, so even if he doesn't come back it wouldn't be a true firing, it would just be not bringing him back when his contract runs out. There was speculation that he's agreed to a three year deal sometime between the end of summer camp and now, but I don't see how they could or would agree to a contract extension and not announce it. If he did agree to that contract extension he'll be back pretty much no matter what. There's no way we'll eat three years on a just signed deal

URI is favored by 17.5 points at Brown

I predict Vito for 5 TDs tomorrow.
Not going out on a limb for a win though.

You really think our defense will give up 35+ to Brown?

SLOW START

Rams gave up prerequisite TD on 1st drive.
Bryant cannot even get to line of scrimmage.
Tough start.

Lose this game and Fleming needs to be fired. Stat.

And if we win?

ramster wrote: ↑4 years agoAnd if we win?

Then thank the lord?

But seriously if we lose.

We go 1-11 with all that talent. Would be one of the worst coaching seasons everrrrr

TD Aaron Parker

Hes a damn beast. Great route. Brown guy had NO chance.

Look at Perry going for it on 4th down all the time.
On his side of the 50 !!

Browns QB is a BALLER.

That’s Perry’s nephew.
BC transfer.
Ballsy,real ballsy.

They went got one 4th down with ball on their own 33. They made it but that is insane. Early 2nd quarter. Nobody does that.

Wow what a pathetic attempt at more points with 43 seconds left in the half.

17-14 at half. They had better put this one away and not let Brown hang around late...or you know what will happen.

Ramster,au contraire,Brown made it 3 out of 4 times on 4th down.

Holy hell how did he fumble that!?@?!?

This team has some SERIOUS bad juju

I know they made it but that does not make it smart coaching - a lot of luck involved. Going for it on their own 33 early in the second quarter is crazy gambling. Imagine if Fleming did that?
Brown fans themselves were calling it desperation - like taking chances like that was their only chance.

They just made another 4th and 8 as I speak.

That's 4 fourth down conversions for Brown.

Err. Make that 4 out of 5

It is smart coaching.

It's an analytics thing.

If they didn't go for it they may not have any points.

Wow. Holding on Brown on that touchdown scramble!!

Fleming punts the ball inside the other teams 45 at home for comparison

Even the Brown fans would not agree with that who are here.
Brown just missed their 2nd field goal attempt.
Going for it on your own 33 early in 2nd quarter is dumb. If analytics were the key they why are having to try for it on so many 4th downs in the first place?

Arghhh.
Great 44 run by Bryant for the TD but called back for 5 men illegal in backfield. Coaching.

URI touchdown is Under review

Ruling on the field stands. 24-14 Rhody

Ramster- nobody gives up 4th down like Rhody does.
It’s not a big risk if he does his homework.

What are the 4th down made percentages by our opponents offenses for the first 4 games?

Great, clutch interception at the 2 yard line by Dickerson!!!!!

look at Stony Brook and Delaware.

Personal foul

Rhody

No kidding

Yep we are going to lose

On 4th and 4 ,Rhody sends punt team out.

That was 4th and 13

We can't guard the middle of the field.

I have never seen a QB do a behind the back lateral in my life.
Brown QB is good.

No,it was 3rd and 13.
Vito picked up 8 or 9.
Was that Brown score on 4th down?

Sorry but he is.

No he did not. Look at the play by play on espn
