They showed a graphic in the 4th quarter, our OL had allowed 6 sacks, 16 QB hits and 19 hurries to that point. That might just have been the worst performance of any OL in the NFL thus far this year. Embarrassing and infuriating. Looks like the OL was reading a few too many articles about how great they were for not giving up a sack. :x

Not sure I would go that far. Yes... bad day for the O-Line.

Looks like we reverted back to 2011 made, extremely frustrating. We're so quick to blame the coaches, but pass protection execution was TERRIBLE.

The OL is the most experienced & most $$ expensive unit of the Rams. Up till this game has been very good in pass protection & poor in run blocking today they were well balanced. Poor in both areas. The Cowboy's figure out that the Rams can not run the ball period then why be concerned about the run so they rushed each & every play thus blowing up the OL real fast. Cowboys just wrote the RX on how to beat the Rams!

Shotty better utilized & insert FB/H-back Lance Kendricks back into the game plan where he can do what he does best open holes for our RB's. Lance has been absent in this offense. Without a running game were are done. This OL weakness has been discovered. You know its bad when Jake Long takes himself off the field in the last Ram series. Our starting OG's were destroyed today & believe it or not ORT Barksdale held up well when compared to the the others.

This OL was embarrassed badly today & I do not hold up much hope for any improvement soon.

Agreed, but it's not like the Rams have stellar RBs back there.

Shotty going to have to give these young green RB's some extra help & Lance is the man that can do this. These one back sets with a bunch of dinky CB size RB's is a laughing matter.

Up until this game; pass blocking has been good.

The running game has not been good all year.

Overall this OL still needs work - no doubt.

The running game sucks because I don't believe we have NFL talent on our squad.

You talking about the RB's?

If the o line doesn't fix itself we may need to draft a new QB this offseason.

Going back and watching the first two games I noticed that these checkdowns Sam throws are because the o line does get pushed around. I will note that some are by design. Now, you face someone like Ware and it shows where the Rams are at.

I'd venture to say that Sams internal clock is at risk of being forever a bit faster.
