GDT - Rams at Ravens

[PhillyRam]

Posted many times that I am also frustrated and disappointed by sub-par Rams' play.

However, I am also frustrated and disappointed by fans that give-up so quickly and easy.

The general comment about lacking mental toughness was not about issues and differing opinions. It WAS a direct criticism of the posters on a Game-Day-Thread that expressed certainty that the Rams would lose despite the facts that it was early in the game and the score remained close.

There are no easy wins. The other guys have talent and play hard. Lot's of games are competitive and close but the good teams find a way to win more than they lose. There are lots of quality teams in the NFC this year. In my opinion, the Packers look like the best but the Rams are good. Unfortunately, so are the Bucs and Cowboys, and possibly the Cards and Niners.

Now, you seem a little sensitive to my general comment. Maybe you would like to borrow the pom-poms.

Yes, the Rams are good, but it is hard to win games with 3 turnovers and they have no shot to get where we all want them to get if they continue to be careless with the ball. Kind of like Martz's teams became. So yes, it's very frustrating and some don't sugar-coat the problem.

But Mr Automatic missed just to the right on a 56 yard FG try

Won't get upset on that. Can't make them all.

Huh? I was answering a question.

I agree with that but I also think we are talking about two different things.

Criticizing posters who express absolute certainty that the Rams Could Not and Would Not rally in a close game is NOT 'sugar-coating' anything.

I was just adding on to your answer

If you can't see major issues here and how this never should have been this close of a game, then get some pom pom's and don't open any thread that might discuss such issues.

We are 12-4. What 12-4 team has MAJOR ISSUES!! We have issues just like every other team in the NFL have issues at certain times during the season.

Jesus, it’s like if we don’t win 50-0 every week with 0 turnovers and give up any first downs on 3rd and long on defense our fucking season is over.

Take a look at the rest of the league and outside of Green Bay (who by the way play in a shitty division like the Cowboys) tears it up every weekend.

We’ve had like 3 practices in the last month due to Covid with 1 healthy RB, 2 WRs who don’t know half the playbook and just won back to back road games against teams who have awesome home field advantage numbers and were fighting for their playoff lives and people want to whine about the QB.

Yeah, he was only perfect in the second half and led two drives with no margin for error but people want to bitch about 2 shitty throws and on one of them the coach basically said the WR ran the wrong route.

Rant over. Damn!

Yes, it's a major issue.... Or maybe better classified as a fatal flaw and it has to stop or they will go nowhere.

And yes its frustrating because everything you mentioned they overcame, Covid, few practice's, injuries, etc... But having done all that, dumb picks, a fumble, can undue all of that effort.

We should expect more from such a talented vet QB.
