LOS ANGELES -- Jeff Fisher and the Rams are back in a familiar place for the final month of the season, and it isnt Los Angeles.With seven losses in their last eight games, the Rams (4-8) have clinched their 13th consecutive non-winning regular season. Their 11-year playoff drought seems almost certain to be extended as well, since Los Angeles is tied for 13th in a 16-team conference after its 26-10 loss to New England.The Rams havent reached .500 in Fishers five years in charge, and they finally might have run out of gas in the final weeks of their draining relocation season. After a 3-1 start in LA, theyre back at the same record they sported through 12 games in their last season in St. Louis.The opposition remains tough when NFC South co-leader Atlanta (7-5) arrives at the Coliseum this weekend, but at least the Rams are finally home to begin the friendly portion of a schedule that has kept them away from LA for eight of their first 12 games.I fully expect us to finish strong, Fisher said Monday night. This team is very, very close. Its very close.And after a miserable week featuring two hapless losses and including a public spat with Eric Dickerson, Fisher was just grateful to be home.Weve got some work to do, Fisher said. Were happy to be back. Three of our next four games are at home and we dont have to leave Pacific Standard Time anymore this year. Our guys are committed. Theyre going to play hard.Fisher realizes the Rams havent had a positive performance on either side of the ball for three weeks. After blowing a late lead at home against Miami, Los Angeles was routed on the road by the Saints and the Patriots, with its defense carved up by two of the NFLs best quarterbacks.With their playoff hopes growing dim, Fisher has kept his focus on the Rams future. The veteran coach finally acknowledged receiving a two-year contract extension Sunday, but Fisher still could be coaching for his job in December, depending on the length and ugliness of the Rams losing streak.Were building this team for the future, Fisher said. Weve made a commitment to our young quarterback, and hes playing now. In my opinion, I think theres a lot of things to be excited about.The players welcomed the news of their coachs extension, and Fisher got a congratulatory text from Dick Vermeil, who led the St. Louis Rams past Fishers Tennessee Titans in the Super Bowl following the 1999 season. But the loss to New England was the 164th of Fishers long head coaching career, and with one more defeat, he would tie Dan Reeves for the NFL record for coaching losses.I actually dont look at that, Fisher said. Ive had a few wins in my career as well. Ive also been able to be very, very fortunate and have a long career. You can look at it as, `Is the glass half-full or half-empty? I look at it as half-full. Im just honored that I still have an opportunity to coach in this league.Game notes The Rams hope DE Robert Quinn, OG Rodger Saffold, WR Tavon Austin and CB E.J. Gaines can all return from injury against the Falcons. Quinn, Saffold and Austin missed Sundays game in New England, while Gaines was injured during the game. All four of them look good by the end of the week, Fisher said. ... Fisher again lamented the Rams lack of a running game. Todd Gurley failed to rush for 100 yards for the 19th time in his last 20 games, and Los Angeles remains mired at 30th in total rushing offense. Gurleys struggles hamper Goffs development and the defenses toughness, Fisher said. Weve got to find a way to get Todd going, and then find a way to be more productive on third down, Fisher said. Our defense has been on the field way, way too long here in the last few weeks.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys 2021 . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

Wholesale NFL Jerseys . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. CHASKA, Minn. -- With half of the roster filled with Ryder Cup rookies, the value of the European veterans in golfs biennial international grudge match has only increased.Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson are just the type of tandem for the team to turn to.We hit the ball a very similar distance, so we can work off one another from that point of view, Rose said. Statistically we play a similar game, our fairways and greens. Our ball-striking would be our strength.Even their caddies are pals.Its not just a team of me and Henrik. Its a team of four that feel comfortable together, said Rose, who played with Stenson at the last Ryder Cup for two four-ball matches and one foursome match in Gleneagles, Scotland. They won all three.The pairings havent been revealed yet for the start of play on Friday at Hazeltine National Golf Club, but not seeing Rose and Stenson together for at least some of the partnered competition would be a surprise.Rose, the 36-year-old Brit, has a 9-3-2 record over three Ryder Cups with a six-match winning streak. Currently ranked 11th in the world, Rose brought a gold medal home from the Olympics in Brazil. He beat out his buddy as Stenson, the 40-year-old Swede who is now No. 5 in the world, settled for silver.Everyone is kind of contributing whichever way they can, said Stenson, whose record is 5-4-2 over two previous Ryder Cups. As I said, its a very nice atmosphere in there, and I think the boys who havent been here before are feeling very welcome.Rose beat Phil Mickelson in Scotland in Sunday singles play with a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win that hole and a 12-footer for birdie on the 18th to pick up a critical point toward Europes momentum in 2014.With Danny Willett (Masters), Stenson (British Open), Rose (Olympics) and Rory McIlroy (FedEx Cup), the European team has quite a collection of champions from this season. Playing in Rio de Janiero helped get them in a nationalist team, but, no, the gold medal is not here for inspiration.Its not something that Im touting around, not at all, Rose said. This week, Danny doesnt have the green jacket in the team room. Rory doesnt have the FedEx Cup in the team room.dddddddddddd I think this is about the Ryder Cup and that little gold trophy, and thats enough for us all.Age isnt always a benefit, alas. Rose has been bothered by a back injury this year. Stenson has a slight tear of the meniscus in his right knee, an injury that forced him out after one round at The Barclays in late August and kept him out of the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship this month to rest. Speaking Wednesday before practice, Stenson said his knee feels fit enough to play five matches if hes asked to.Im up for a lot of golf and unless the knee tells me otherwise, Stenson said, thats the way I approach it.Rose has a special fondness for the course at Hazeltine, finishing in 23rd place here at the PGA Championship in 2002 about a month before his father, Ken Rose, died of cancer. During his practice round Tuesday, Rose was reminded by the scenery of a photo his mom has of his dad watching the action in Minnesota that year under some trees on the back nine. Its titled, Happy Days.I do think about my dad a lot, especially when it comes to moments like this because these are moments he would have loved to have been a part of, Rose said. Yeah, its a nice source of energy for me this week.Only Lee Westwood at age 43 is older than Stenson and Rose on the rookie-laden European team. The experience and poise Stenson and Rose can provide will thus be welcomed by the visitors against an opponent determined, perhaps even desperate, to stop the slide.In America, said Andy Sullivan, the first-timer from England, obviously its going to be an atmosphere and quite one-sided.The Europeans were treated to a show by magician Dynamo on Tuesday night, part of the weeklong team-building process designed to both inspire and relax.Very impressive, Stenson said. Before I knew it, I was back in bed and I didnt even walk to my room.Rose, Stenson and the rest of the squad will try to produce some of their own tricks on the course starting Friday morning.---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP ' ' '
