To the PLAYERS, I'll never question your toughness ever again. You stood up, and knocked the 49ers out when it mattered most. I'm so proud of you all, and thankful for you all.

To the COACHES, I know we go through turmoil and questionable decisions, but I'm so thankful for you all. And wouldn't trade you you for anything.

To the FRONT OFFICE AND OWNER, thank you for being so aggressive, and putting now before the future year after year and it paying off.

To you fellow FANS, I love you all. I know I'm just the drunk, hog farming, arm rest GM/COACH who knows most things all the time (obviously), but I really do respect and appreciate each and every one of you. We may have our disagreements, and arguments, but that's our PASSION. I wouldn't trade any of you for anything.

Congrats to us all, RAMS NATION.

ONE. MORE. GAME.

I was blaming Morris for putting Reeder in that situation.

No way should he be covering anyone on 3rd and long.

He should be blitzing at least half the time or at the very least faking a blitz and then dropping back

Guess what - on the interception at the end - he was blitzing and that freed up Donald one on one

You just do not want to let Donald go one on one

Truth is that we should have prepared somebody else to be the defensive play caller. Shanahan is great at picking on weaknesses, and Reeder is a liability. Travin Howard would have been a better play today.

Wasn't surprised, this Rams team held back during the regular season and played to their potential when it mattered most.

Sometimes just keeping your hand hidden will play to your advantage when it matters most. We may have lost to the Whiners 6 in a row prior to this game but we matched their intensity in crunch time.

What does Reeder even do well?

I don’t get it... I feel like the Rams could sign like 100 different veteran LBs who would perform better or even grab a young LB who actually does SOMETHING well. Jones and Howard have some issues but at least they both have some positives. They need to play more.

Just be happy you don't have any trade value, because if I thought we could get a 1'st or 2'nd for you, you'd be on the next plane. And Snead says he'll take a 6'th, so avoid the gym for awhile and we might keep you. jk. :biggrin:

I'm about as over the Reeder stuff as I am the Morris stuff, to be honest.
He's a backup. He's a backup for a reason.. but is starting because the guy in front of him got hurt AND because the guy behind him who called the defense is also hurt.
For his very obvious limitations and faults, seems like he did okay communicating the defense today and did enough to help the team hold the 9ers to 17 points.

I'm so tired of watching Reeder play zone D on the back end. No lateral movement or instincts. Give me man with zone behind it to help cover Reeder all day long. Sheesh, my heart can't take it!

He reads plays pretty well but never makes the play, he takes a poor angle and misses tackle or he gets ran over

He's there to be the defensive play caller and get people lined up. Beyond that, he's somewhat competent against the run between the tackles. He's a massive liability in coverage. We need to find a replacement this offseason.

Reads plays well? Lol i don't know what you have watched but he over or under plays plays constantly. My biggest grip with him is he ALWAYS gets dragged for yards. I mean in this game he had a tackle on a receiver (and it wasn't deeboo) on 3rd down about a yard or 2 behind the 1stbdown maker and the wr drug him for 3yds. Smh he is a linebacker. He has no pop at the point of attack, he's weak (for a linebacker)
