VENT 2024 Divisional Round Vent Thread

[snackdaddy]

Barkley’s last TD was sprung by holding or he would have gotten maybe 1 yard. Down by 1 and driving, Kyrens fumble really hurt our momentum

I believe the refs were afraid to throw flags on the Eagles. Conspiracies had the NFL paving the way for an LA team to win the Superbowl. They wanted to show everyone they won't favor them and went too far the other way.

Not much to vent about the rams are a very young team and it showed today. Lots of self inflicted wounds and we were still in the game up till the end. We have to tighten up as a unit if we're gonna get back to the big game.

Some things things that need adjusting this off season.

I think McVay should let go of play calling and start getting away from the 11 personnel. He's too predictable
We need an upgrade at the following positions

CB
ILB
big DT
Future RT
Fast outside WR

Other than that if we can stay healthy this team is pretty stacked. If we can eliminate the big lapses in defense and the predictable nature of our offense we'll be on top again next year.

Agree with your list but I’d take a closer look at OC. Perhaps Limmer will
Improve on pass protection. If not consider JJax or bring in quality rookie for competition.

I just wish Stafford would have at least given Puka a chance on that final pass. Throwing out if bounds to end the game was such a let down.

I think it probably slipped out of his hand. I really find it hard to believe that Stafford would intentionally throw it away there.

Xavier Smith cost us 14 yards by not fielding the last punt, but he's done a good job this year

With the snow, if he doesn’t feel confident he can field the punt, I don’t want him trying to. He’s been pretty damn good all year. He probably made the best decision getting away from it.

yeah in the end the OLE of the punt didn't have any real effect on the outcome.

ball at philly 13 with 1:25 left.

To me the game was lost on 3 consecutive offensive drives in the 2H.

The first ended when Higbee and Puka dropped wide open first downs. The second was the Kyren fumble. The third was the Stafford strip sack. If we catch the ball and don’t put it on the ground, we woulda had a great shot.

Rams need to be able to convert that safety into game changing momentum. Drive/score TD and put pressure on Eagles to play catchup. Hurts passing for the most part was neutralized. Then his injury would have been the nail in the coffin.

They were about to convert the saftey into something - then kyren fumbled around mid field.

Better safe than sorry in that situation

 

[PhillyRam]

Tough one boys... proud of the effort, thought they were going to steal it in the end. Would have liked to see a run on that 1st down after the Nacua catch. Plenty of time, 1:20 or so... I fear that McVay trusted Stafford more than Kyren.

The fumbling must stop and I would not he shocked if a high profile draft pick or vet is added this year at RB.

 

[RhodyRams]

biggest vent

no more victory cocktails until at least September

 

[Ellard80]

Thing is.. we pull of that comeback = I think we end up in the super bowl.

I liked our chances at home against the Commodes.

I would have preferred a run to get it closer for a quick TD pass. I don't think he trusted Kyren.

That's about the way I saw it too.

 

[PhillyRam]

2025 is the "All in Year"!

...get ready!

 

[Merlin]

Tankathon has us drafting at 26 btw. Might change we'll see.

 

[JBRam77]

I like Kyren-I don’t love him. Why does he fumble so much? I think Corum or another back needs to supplant him as the lead back some time next season. I hope Stafford doesn’t walk away after this one. Kupp might be done here. This was a golden opportunity that was squandered. McVay knows this team had a good shot to go the distance. We need a stud ILB and Corner next year and another explosive receiver and tight end

 

[LouisvilleRam]

Better safe than sorry in that situation

True but with more experience hopefully he makes that catch and gets upfield a little bit could have been the difference between playing next week or watching

 

[Memento]

Not going to vent on this team.

I will vent on the fucking announcer, Chris Collingsworthless, who can go sit on a cactus's dick.

 

[Spider2YB]

Not a complaint but more of an observation—Philly’s MVP outside of Saquon might have been their holder. He reeled in 2 errant snaps on field goals. If he drops just one of those we are kicking a game tying field goal.

 

[Ram_Rally]

So proud of this team. They did all they could. Some upgrades and we'll be right back next year.

Are you sure? You better get @dieterbrock to confirm.
