Peter King of SI.com is reporting that the Rams will fire head coach Scott Linehan if the team loses to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

PETER KING REPORTING LINEHAN COULD BE CANNED: On the Notre Dame halftime show on NBC this afternoon SI’s Peter King reported that if the Rams lose to the Bills on Sunday that Scott Linehan is expected to be given his “walking papers” as King put it.

The benching of Marc Bulger looks to be the last straw in light of the ripple effects it has caused through the locker room. Steven Jackson and apparently other offensive players believe the blame for the offense’s troubles have been placed solely on Bulger and it doesn’t sit well with a lot of the men who voted Bulger to be one of the offensive co-captains.

Seems kind of ridiculous doesn’t it? If you want to fire the guy, fire him. What if the Rams beat the Bills? Then next week Linehan has to play Russian roulette with his job again? Seems kind of pointless to me.

Linehan has lost control of his players and it doesn’t look like he’ll get them back. The team needs to cut ties and move on before the season unravels worse than it already has.
