1. That was really ugly.
2. It starts with the offensive line. Horrible performance, particularly by the interior.
3. Matthew Stafford had little chance on most of the pressure situations, but both INTs were on him. The first one was something that should never happen to a veteran like him. The second wasn't much better.
4. I thought Sean McVay was slow to adjust his protections.
5. Stafford is better than Jared Goff in most every aspect of QB play. The exception, however, might be rollouts and bootlegs. He doesn't look particularly natural on those plays.
6. It was hardly the reason we lost, but there were some bullshit calls by the refs. The holding call on Havenstein that negated a first down in the fourth was ticky tack (the kind of "hold" that can be called on most every play, and should not be called in that situation). The roughing call on Aaron Donald was an absolute joke.
7. Its somewhat ironic that our running game was fairly effective. The situation of the game made it irrelevant.
8. Shame to waste such a strong performance by the defense. 195 total yards/3.5 yards per play allowed.
9. Seemed like the Titans had a decent amount of fans at the game.
10. In 1999, the Rams played the Titans in the middle of the season. They got down 21-0, as the Titans harassed Kurt Warner, sacking him 6 times. Though the Rams made it closer than today's contest (losing 24-21), they would fall that day. We all know what happened in the rematch.
11. FWIW, by the way, my preseason Super Bowl pick was Rams vs. Titans.
12. At least we're not the Bills, who lost to the Jaguars 9-6 today.
13. Or the Cowboys, who were dominated by the Broncos.
14. Or the Packers, who lost with a backup who is clearly not ready to take over for Aaron "I'm such a victim" Rodgers.
15. The Cardinals are making it tough for the Rams. Unlike the Cowboys, Packers and Bucs, who will likely coast to division titles, the Rams have to catch a Cardinals team that is suddenly a full game and a tiebreaker up on them.
16. While I was hoping to see Von Miller tonight, I understand why they would not wish to rush him. Hopefully, he will be ready to debut with the Rams next Monday night against the 49ers, and then will have 2 weeks to get acclimated before the stretch run.
17. I'm thinking that Matthew Stafford is going to need some rest during the bye as well.
18. Matt Gay was a real find. We're fortunate to have him.
19. If the Rams can't get up next week... Monday night... vs a 49ers team that has won the last 4 meetings... need to redeem themselves before the bye....
20. Well, nobody said this was going to be easy. Okay, maybe somebody did, but he's probably going back and deleting those posts.
