Rams at Buccaneers

[CTRamsFan]

Wow heart meds please. But we r 2-1. Crazy games this week all over the league.

 

[blackbart]

3 possessions 3scores in 3 minutes

Highly improbable

What can I say I was trying to figure it out too

 

[Riverumbbq]

RAMS WIN !

Just getting an early start on the headlines 3 hours from now.

Knew it all along.

 

[blackbart]

These guys are taking minutes off my heart but at least its a win!!

 

[Ramlock]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2-1 leading the division baby!!!

just want to apologize to everyone for being a negative nancy for a bit.. really thought it was gonna be another typical Fisher loss

time to celebrate :cheers:

Another Fisher win!

 

[RaminExile]

they tried to take their time so a score would win it and not time left for rams to score. they just wasted a bit too much

I get that but surely everyone knows the most important thing is to actually score - then worry about defending the lead. You can't let yourself run out of time with 2 timeouts on the clock still.

you'd think that but it happens all the time to be honest. I agree, scoring should be the only goal there, but I've seen that play out so many times. If I had to guess, the plan was win or lose with your offense. With 2 TOs for the Rams, 30+ seconds in a high scoring game like that is plenty to drive down for a fg, especially with GZ's leg. Again, I agree they should just score, but personally I dont fault a team for putting the game purely in their offense's hands in a high scoring game

 

[blackbart]

Scotch for everyone! CHEERS

 

[RhodyRams]

okay gather round for shots


drinking to the EPIC win

you know this one was a kick return not a punt return right? the ball is live for the kicking team so if its a bad bounce (i.e. ginn last week) that could be game right there

I realize that. Players are taught to let that deep a kick go. Now in his favor it was the "hands" team up front and no real blocking to speak of, but generally the inertia carries the ball that is that deep into the endzone and Tavon should have had no probs downing it before they showed. Tying us up at the 6 there almost won the Bucs the game, the way their offense was rollin.

IMO they need to start addressing that with him, or put someone else back there who can make good decisions and think on their feet.

Rushing 3 and consequently taking Evans out of the game was huge

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'd hate to be stuck in a fox hole with some of ya'll. I will say that.
Anyway...

 

[RamBall]

Gotta say it: this is the second time Tavon has caught a ball inside the six yard line this season and cost the Rams significant field position.

Did the same thing vs SF. I presume the staff coached him up about it too. Dude has got to be a straight dumb player, because this time really put the offense in bad position.

Todays kick though was a kickoff and thus a live ball, if he lets it bounce and TB recovers it, its TB ball or TD if in the endzone.

" How 'Bout That ...
**Two TD's passing!!
**Two TD's Rushing!!
** A Defensive TD!!
** And a Field Goal!!
** And Hekker was GOLDEN as usual!!"

I get what you're saying but we'll just have to agree to disagree. If it was me back there or the coach im not letting that ball hit the ground. You wont get much blocking and a good kicker can hang that up in the air enough to help the team get down there. I think its a lose-lose situation either way really

Johnny Hekker is an absolute weapon...He is a big reason that we won two games this year!
