GAME DAY MNF: Rams at Falcons - Game Day Thread

[SWAdude]

I have no Idea what the hell you mean by "my kind"?

Your kind is not attached to reality.

No matter how the game is played, poor game calling can take a win away.

Do you not remember 11 days ago?

The whistle blew.

We even touched the ball in the end zone which kills the play on contact.

And the refs totally screwed it up.

Yes, I know your kind.

And it is killing this game.

In the past, he was pure money in the clutch. It was shocking he missed that throw.

The weird thing with the missed layups is he will also complete 5 or 6 insanely difficult throws into a disappearing window where he fits the ball into the tiniest spaces. Like how do you make those and not the easy ones?

Love him, but a slightly lesser passer who adds the element of doing something with his legs would make this offense just as good if not better.

Think what you want there bud!

You want to blame the Refs for that Shit play? It shouldnt have came down to that 2pt to begin with. The RAMS gave up a 16 point lead in less than 8 mins. That is not the Refs. That is Dumbass Play calling and Getting Lazy!

Eagles game - they gave up 12 points in the 4th quarter to them just to name 1 thing and multiple blocked kicks. Refs FAult!

Carolina Game Multiple Turnovers led to TDS but thats the Refs Fault too huh?

Cry me a river about the Refs screwing the Rams but RAMS FUCKED THE RAMS! Refs just help put us out of our misery!

You make zero sense.

I think it’s hard to say. McVay puts a lot on his QBs. Goff was basically a borderline top 10 QB and McVay said that wasn’t good enough. If he ever gets a mobile QB who is just a pretty good—not great—passer, I think he will also have to fundamentally change how the offense runs. It will have to become less dependent on asking the QB to routinely make high level of difficulty throws. McVay always talks about a big part of his offensive philosophy is “activating the entire field”. You can only really do that with an elite thrower of the football.

And let me just say I have all the confidence that McVay could and would adjust his offensive scheme with a more mobile QB. It just wouldn’t look anything like what we have now.

Perhaps. But, IMO, a basically borderline top 10 QB who also offers something with his legs might be an upgrade. If Goff ran more I'm not so sure the trade even happens.

Well that and if he had far fewer fumbles.

No, you dont make sense and you dont like it when I call you out on it when your "refs screwed us" narrative doesnt work. Yes, the refs suck and some calls were bad, but they didnt cause our collapse. It shouldn't have went to overtime to begin with. That 2pt attempt wouldn't of happened if we didn't blow a huge 4th quarter lead for going into conservative mode on a division rival, who is top 5 in offense and defense? How does that not make sense?

Well, they have to be able to read defenses at a high level. But yeah, it would be nice to have a mobile QB.

For some reason, only the lord may know ,you can not accept that the level of play can have nothing to do with how the refs manage the game.

You are pissed at our play. Fine.

I am more pissed at the refs. And that thought bends you in some way you feel the irrational need to minimize that point.

And it ended up being everything in this game. As well as the Seahawk game.

And until you change my mind, you are going to be a jerk about it. Fine. You are right and I am wrong.

Good lord.

I think “upgrade” is a crazy stretch. To upgrade from this offense is to basically ask for the greatest offense in NFL history. Theres not much more room for this offense to go. I mean tonight sucked, but if you were to make a list of the Rams 10 biggest problems in the 2025 season, I don’t think Stafford’s mobility comes anywhere near making the list.

Especially since Stafford has been excellent at not taking sacks this year. They got him a couple times tonight, but it otherwise hasn’t been an issue. He’s been one of the best in the league at it.

 

[Ellard80]

That's more plausible....McVay should just play the starters. We can beat Ariz, especially if we at least get Jackson and Havenstein back. Please just cut DJ Humphries

He said he was...he needs the team to have some positive momentum

Whoa Nellie.

I never said or even considered that Stafford was a problem.

But I can see where there are plays that a QB that is more of a threat with his legs could keep drives going or even score. Those types even get rushed differently as lane integrity comes into play more. Some even require a spy removing a player from coverage from time to time. Noticing that difference doesn't mean one believes that Stafford is a problem. Just that an upgrade is possible.

And, IMO, this offense, with Stafford, would have to first be closer to being on par with one of the greatest offenses in Rams history prior to even considering going anywhere near NFL history. Even "The Greatest Show on Turf" just cracks the top 10 in points scored in NFL history last I checked (Might be lower since the change to the 17 game schedule).

Staffords mobility is not a issue.
The dude is a Dawg.
He has made so many ridiculous plays look easy it more than makes up for him not being the fastest guy in the world.
To me, he is the perfect QB. When he does good, everyone gets credit.
When a "running" QB does good its all about him. And other players get jealous. Thus, it takes from the team more than it gives.
