Can't even be mad

[AvengerRam]

We needed everything to be right to win today.

Aaron Donald wasn’t right.
Kupp wasn’t available.

The Rams dropped 2 INTs that would have saved 3, and got a bad bounce on the one fumble they forced, preventing a huge turnover.

But the team kept fighting until the end.

Goff played a good game despite a bad thumb and poor protection.
Cam Akers looks like future star.
There’s a lot to be proud of, and reason for hope for the future.

Disappointed, but proud of our Rams.

Not mad either Rams exceeded my expectations this year and were only a few pieces away from doing something special. I hope we keep Staley atleast another year. Some guys really stepped up for us this year but injures hurt us at the worst time.

I'm ready to move on from Blythe, Reynolds and Everett they've really held us back this year. Hill to me is similar to Marcus Peter's in the sense that he makes a lot of interceptions but outside of that he's not very good tbh.

Id like to keep Williams and let Hill go in FA. I feel like Williams can improve whereas Hill has reached his ceiling awhile ago. Id like to keep Floyd and find another OLB to help with the rush. I also hope we get a thumper ILB to help the run Defense next year.

Lots of work to do this offseason but we're not far from where we need to be either as long as we continue to draft well.

I guess ill back away from this thread wtf how are u guys not pissed! I'm not down with hippy bullshit we could have won this thing fuck rogers what a fucking douche! I'm gonna finish getting drunk now

Nothing wrong with your take on things my man, just don’t think this is the thread to do it in.

 

[MadGoat]

We've gone from complaining about picking top 4 to complaining about not making the top 4. Definitely first world problems as far as NFL teams go. I'm not happy with the loss, but I'm not going to complain about the state of this team.

 

[FaulkSF]

Oh boo the hell hoo. Don't hijack my thread.

My apologies, vent Thread wasn't posted. Enjoy your evening.

Yeah, I’m not that mad either, looked to me like Rams played pretty well but Pack were just the better team.

So glad for Goff that he had a good game today. If he had had a bad game, the off-season would have been unbearable.

Pack O-line looked far superior to ours, even without Bakhtiari.

Please, please let the silver lining of this game be that we get to keep Staley.

Really, a terrific Rams season and the future still looks bright.

 

[SWAdude]

Of course we all wanted the win. But not disappointed in the least.

Year too weird to put into the Rams history books like this.

Had a great time this year and really look forward to next. Hopefully get to actually go to a game!

Love our RAMS!!!

I guess its today where you guys are but its tonight for me!

7:07 PM here... lol

 

[Dagonet]

It's been a good season overall. Can't complain at all. Areas for improvement for sure. Cheers...

Go Rams!

Good weed and a good season considering what we've went thru.. I'm just gald we got this far. We do have building blocks for a complete run in the next 2 years.. AD will be back healthy next year, but him and Brockers getting older. Need to capitalize.. Here's to ya Hell. Peace..

Being #1 seed helps a bunch, we had a bunch of guys hurt in the Seattle game and it showed in this one. The GB oline is very good and they didn’t have to worry about AD much of the time, and if Rogers can stand back there he’s gonna hurt you. You need quick pressure on him or he’ll just dance out of the way like he did tonight with guys half a step from getting a hand on him.
McVay needs to retool this offense, you can’t expect 10 play drives every time you have the ball. Better defenses are just slowly suffocating this offense, they don’t fear the big play. GB had guys running free with play action and double moves but Goff has to be perfect.

 

[The Ramowl]

There is only bad ways to win, but losing fair and square to a team that just plays better is the way I want to go.
Some things didn't fall our way, losing Donald and Kupp was a tough thing to overcome. We played against a Packers team that plays extremely clean, no turnovers, no penalties, solid on defense, elite on offense.

I'm at peace with it. We had a fun season, we gave Seattle the division title and then absolutely ruined their party by beating them in the Wild Card, which I think is the best thing ever. Now their fans are calling for everyone's head it's a fucking shit show, I love it.

And here is the important thing : this is a collective loss in a second playoff game. At the end of the regular season, I was very anxious that the D might start to resent the O, in a way that could have destroyed the teams' balance. In the end, I think balance is restored.
Now here is the great news : the big pieces of the defense are still there next season, so no reason to believe they won't be elite next year. The offense has very clear weaknesses and I trust our FO to address them, especially with an offensive minded coach like McVay. No one expected us to end up in the Divisional round this year, some even had us dead last in the NFC West.

Last but not least, McVay has 4 winning seasons out of 4, we've been to the payoffs 3 times. I've been a Rams fan long enough to truly appreciate what's going on with this organisation, we're very lucky right now because we have a team that's always competitive.
Next year we'll be improved, and watch out.

I actually thought we were gonna go tie it after we had the momentum. But the OL failed, GOFF got sacked (maybe twice but I forget).
Rogers and team reminded me a bit of 18' when nobody could stop us either. Although Rogers has an elite OL. We never really even touched him. That said, pretty bummed, but we have a great nucleus. I hope we address the weak areas as best we can and come back next year stronger and obviously healthier.

Hard to find fault in getting beat by someone who, IMO, is a top 3 QB of all time.

This all the way.

Looks like we saw the same game!

Go Rams in 2021!

 

[Ewe83]

I am sad because I had dreams of going further but Green Bay is great this year and just played better, ah well, I'll sooth my sorrows by going camping next weekend. Cheers everyone! There's always next year

 

[wmc540]

Just wild how LaFleur turned GB elite so fast.

Or is it more wild how much McCarthy held the Packers back?

 

[Ellard80]

yeah for the better part of 30 plus years of being a fan i just dreamed of making the playoffs... to see a 4-12 team.

Thats the playoffs 3 out of 4 years... so its nice to have a competitive team.

We got beat fairly bad today.. but even witht hat we had the ball and a chance to tie the game in the 4th.

 

[LARams_1963]

Hey...... we were in the final 8. You can’t be #1 outta 32 every year. Everyone remember ‘04-‘16?

By the way, we made it to the final 8!!!!

And in case you didn’t notice, we made it to the final 8 and beat the shecocks in the playoffs!

24 outta 32 teams had a worse year than us.....

 

[RhodyRams]

I guess its today where you guys are but its tonight for me!

Isn't it tomorrow there?

 

[den-the-coach]

I disagree. Young and Reeder were awful tonight. Hope their thumbs are ok, they can hitchhike with their efforts.

I like this & I can be mad for the present

 

[RamsSince1969]

Loved this season with all the BS going on in the world. Rams finished light years ahead of early predictions.
See you guys at the games next season!
