And a QB that won't throw over the freaking middle. We could have beat the shit out of them over the middle when they started blitzing. Foles just never looks there.
I have no idea. But what I do know is that he had two throws that were there that could have made the difference and he missed both badly.
Wow, there's a lot of overreacting going on here. Plenty of blame to go around, but some of you are going off the deep end. Two evenly matched teams and we went into this thing without Quinn, Long, McDonald, and Hav and we still lost in OT. I'm not happy at all, but damn!
Plus Teddy would look worse that he does as a VIking if he was behind our O-line, and was subjected to our play calling.
It really makes no difference. The Rams have no OL and therefore no offense. The Rams offense would not prevail in the playoffs.
No that play wasn't the smoking gun. But it was a pointless decision. We can kick from 61, but a extra point into the wind warrants not kicking? I realize our offense stinks, it has for years and it's the reason we lost. Doesn't change the fact that it was not a good call. I'd have been happy if we made it, but I'd have still thought it a pointless risk.
C Xcaret,
The offensive line is not to blame I'm tired of hearing about the OL when Foles makes them look worse than they are

Foles is garbage Flat out let's see Keenum or Mannion
Bottom line for me......
They are 4-4 and have the schedule in their favor. With all the injuries this week. (And they had a huge impact) this was a game they were expected to lose when we woke up this morning.
But if they don't figure out a way to get other guys involved (Quick, Bailey, Kendricks) then this offense will sabotage any future success.
How many time can you throw bubbles screens and run jet sweeps just to force the ball to Austin? Sure it looks good. But it isn't productive. Not at the expense of the rest of the offense.
There is no excuse not to be throwing the ball to these other guys. Except the QB refuses to look their way. You want to make Austin and Gurley more productive? Stop being so damn predictable.

Foles was awful again today. Awful. What happened to this kid?? Hit an open receiver for fuck sake.
Time to get Keenum some reps with the 1s.
His mobility may help the games of Austin and Gurley. He could actually......you know, SCRAMBLE FOR YARDS on busted plays.
I see Foles out there.......with running lanes open......and even Manning could probably run for a couple. Foles? Hell nah man.
And once again. Putrid on 3rd downs and no passes to the middle. Maybe one to LK who was WIDE OPEN. Never returned.
Foles........is doing worse than Bradford.

O
The game is 60 minutes long that decision had zero bearing in the final outcome.
Or if they had a passing game. Or if the defense can pick up a fumble. Or actually make a play when they need a stop instead of numerous drive continuing penalties.

I said the same thing . He was invisible all day . I'm so sick of his below average play
While I agree with than sentiment in general. Foles is the problem in that he is one zeroing in on 2 receivers. It was that way in training camp and has gotten progressively worse as the season has gone on.
There are so many opportunities in every game that are being wasted because he just won't look at other receivers. He refuses to look in the middle of the field. And the bubble screens have run their course.
Line up Quck and Britt outside on 3rd down and run an effing slant once in a while. Move the ball downfield. Right now our passing game consists of throws 30+ yards downfield that are nothing more than having Britt or Quick release and run deep fades. Or bubble screens.
There is no intermediate passing game at all because he can't make the throws. Sean routes to Cook and Kendricks. Move Austin back inside and run him up the seam. With Britt and Quick running crossing routes. Until I see that I will continue to believe it's because Foles won't make that throw.

Two things that really seem obvious to me
1) Foles" arm strength is average at best
2) His football IQ I'm going to have to question

I'll tell you what guys. We really missed, Havenstein. His being out, directly affected the outcome of this game. I hope he's back soon.
