Self inflicting. Why for the love of all holy things would you essentially shut down your hot offense at the 40 yd line in favor of a suspect ST’s unit????
And buffalo was trying to give away the game with all their freaking penalties.
Obviously special teams and not being able to stop Josh Allen's running totally fucked us
 
When they ran the ball on 3rd down I knew it was over. How the fuck do you trust our kicker to make it.
Our offensive line for that field goal got smoked.
We have spent so much money on our big-name players that the back end/special teams unit sucks as far as athleticism.

Obviously you're a football genius and know more than anyone else. So whatever you post as the absolute truth. Sorry to have ever posted anything on the internet that you would have to question or make sure to correct.
LOL I just dont understand the sentiment around here like this is something new..These same statements have been made for the past 2+ years and still McVay/Snead think they're too smart for the league and can trot out a a 32nd rated ST unit and compete for a super bowl. The hubris is fucking laughable at this point. Neglect an entire unit because the boy genius + GM dont think we need to waste resources investing in ST.

They already did that last year. Doubt that's gonna help. Special teams have been a problem for a while now. We fire a coach. Replace him. And it's still a problem.

Maybe the kick was too low. But the who blocked it got in too close. Shoulda never let him get in that position.

And it looked like he was left of center. It's possible it was gonna miss anyway.
I agree. It was going wide. The defender actually blocked it straight. Just didn't have the distance after the block.

If only....
We had a ST coach, like, oh say, Bones.

Whatever got him canned, is better than what I'm watching every week... :dizzy:
 
To me, keys to a win:

1] Sound defensive play!! TACKLE!!!
No flailing your arms at the opposing player... wrap them up!!
No turning your back on the ball while it's in the air.... sure fire way to get a PI every time - especially with this ref crew!!
FUNDAMENTALS, gentlemen!
Grade: F
More blown coverages... more missed tackles... I do not care what stats say - I have two eyes and this defense is undisciplined and unreliable. Shula needs a new employer.

2] Improvement on starting field position on kicks! That goes both ways. We have to climb out of the NFL cellar in this area.
Grade: F
First kick off? BUF runs it down to our 35? I knew right then, we were in for another episode of the Rams Not Special teams shit show. A blocked FG that could win the game? Ventrone needs to find a new employer.


3] Balance on offense - don't get all pass happy, McVay! Remember the old saying? Three things can happen when you pass - and two of
them aren't good! Stay balanced. The BUF run defense is not good.
Grade: F
Once again, McVay cannot control himself. Even when there is NO need to pass, he does it anyway... again... and again... and again.
54 pass attempts to basically 21 runs. 72/28 pass/run ratio.
Buffalo (ya know, the winners of the game?):
Pass: 19 attempts

Run: 27 rushes (not counting Allen)

Execute on these three things and I can see a Rams blow out. Don't? All bets are off... and it will be on the Rams themselves.
That's 3 failing grades. That's not the way to become a consistent winner in the NFL. I am disappointed.
