I've always wondered this , but why do writers some capitalize words in their titles? Have hall notice this. It's always like "player x is POISED for a MASSIVE season"

Just brings me back to Dotson’s false start. The Eagles D’Line was F’d if Time.The front was yaking,trying to get there breath.It took a few plays after that for one of them to??

The Eagles couldn’t SUB in & that was what helped them get the right personnel in.It was like The rams could just walk into the End Zone.
If Dotson didn't move, I swear we are SB champions this year.

We really were that good at the end of the season.

Agreed-- and for me that's what makes it even harder to get over the Philly game. Coulda woulda shoulda.

Even with various mistakes, we were one play away from pulling off the most dramatic comeback in Rams history. In the snow, no less. That game coulda been even better than Flipper running out of the stadium.

I watched the whole film and I'm sorry I did.

Carter DID not dominate, but he did have a good game. I saw a slurry of missed assignments and the Eagles secondary doing a very good job making Stafford hold on to the ball. Anytime you have 4 to 5 seconds in the pocket and you're not getting out the ball that's a win for the secondary. Where the Rams whiffed is on their double teams and their protection handoffs on stunts. The Rams did not communicate well on the Oline in that game it was evident when the Eagles ran stunts and delayed stunts.

Most of this is on Limmers protection calls, he needs to get better at recognizing formations and setting up double teams. The last play of the game is evidence of this in it's most egregious form.

Carter did have his wins and expectedly so, but to sit here and say he wrecked the Rams game plan is a bit of a false narrative. But we have to remember "the victors write history".
Regarding Limmer’s protection calls, I believe he made the calls on running plays but not pass pro.
That was Stafford, at least that’s what Stafford said in an interview. That may have changed when they reached post season, not sure.

Carter had a nice game, but it wouldn't have mattered if Limmer and Dotson hadn't fucked up the protection on that 3rd down. Had they slowed Carter down, Higbee is wide open for a TD, and his performance is a mere footnote. So I'll pass on the clickbait YouTube video.

And really, the Rams shooting themselves in the foot is what stopped them all season long. Young teams will struggle with that. Hopefully they will learn from the mistakes and make fewer next year. That along with improving personnel at a few positions and the Rams will be back in the hunt next year.
