Lessons learned

[majrleaged]

I think if turner hadn't had the INT the Rams would have played the last quarter differently and probably would have done what they have been doing for the last half of the season. A team brings it to a one score game and the offense drives the field like nothing and scores again. The rams win.
But the rams went into celebration mode. Offense came out flat and well you know. We laughed our ass off at SF a few years ago when they celebrated an INT with a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter of the SB. They thought they had just won the game. It cost them the SB.

This just might be a blessing in disguise. At least it happened before the playoffs. The rams should have known better, but they let up. I just don't see this type of thing happening again to the rams when they get up on someone. It will be "remember the Seahawk game" on the sideline. The Seahawks only won a game, the Rams will win the season.

The Seahawks moved the ball most of the game, the Turner pick & Kupp fumble were both in the redzone. That's 2 more drives that likely score without TO's
We need to tighten up

In a perfect world both Seattle and the Niners drop a game and we end up back at the #1 seed or at least the division title, and then have that experience to learn from.

Agree, but really, if the offense just keeps doing what it had been doing, everything else is moot. The D held them to nothing on 2 drives after the "2 point conversion". Yet once the offense let up they continued to struggle to get back on track until the OT. Then it turned out to be to late.

The rest is moot if a field goal is made. You can point to different events all day. Everything just amounted to what we got. Such is life. Time for the next episode.

If the DB just picks up the ball on the failed 2 point conversion that was over ruled, no OT.

I am sure you realize that if we made the FG the game would have played out differently and nothing says they would have called the same plays or we would have called the same D so the game could have still gone to OT and all the same shit could have gone down.

So the point is the Rams went into celebration mode to early and let them in to where anything could happen as opposed to keeping the pedal down and their hopes down. To where missing a FG killed us.

I'm sure you realize you could pick different points in the time line that each take a different approach to the same result. A victory! Yes, sure. Some paths would be easier than others, but thats what I was trying to get across. The field goal was just once example. Cheers!

Offense dropped 37 pts and 500 yards on 2 defense in nfl...the scored a td first drive in ot...then d was like warm butter and game over

Sure id like to see more out of the offense up 16...but the offende shouldnt have had to do anything else

This is more about learning lessons than it is about laying blame for why we lost. Missed FG is a factor in the loss, but it doesn't provide much of a lesson other than maybe our kicker will struggle in pressure moments. That remains to be seen, and could be why they haven't moved on from Karty.

But the team and coaches should learn a valuable lesson that leads are not safe, you don't let up a quarter early, you don't start calling the game differently.

Plenty of time for them to have learned these lessons already. Just at the point of accepting that the chips fell where they did and moving on. I mean you have perfect storm stuff of weird penalties being called that never do. We narrowly escape with a win without those things. But hey, maybe you're right. Having those things happen and not escaping with the win might open their eyes to the glaring mistakes they keep making. Good point.

Yes, my point exactly.
