Pathetic loss against an inferior opponent who averaged 18 ppg vent thread

I still think it’s a good sign that our QB didn’t play well, we only ran 3 plays in the 3Q, and we still scored 28 points. And that’s with 2 turnovers deep in their territory.

If the regular season ended after this weekend, knowing everything we know after todays loss -
- no fan-goggles on, just cold hard reality, what team would you pick for the playoffs?

I still think it’s us or Philly.

As Greeny would say, bad game or bad sign?

Bad game IMO.

I guess the last month or so made everyone forget what regular football is like.
West coast team goes to east coast for a 10am game against a team in contention to play in the weather and loses by 3.

The Patriots never had these issues during the Brady era. Didn’t matter the opponent or where it was. It’s inexcusable.

Bad luck and bad weather that’s not an ideal combo on the road. Even if the opponent isn’t that good. Crazy that the rams even had a chance considering they lost TO battle 3-0 with one being a pick 6. If Carolina wasn’t ass rams most likely would have gotten blown out.

Our defense only stopped them when they had a holding penalty and it backed the Panthers up. Other than that our defense never stopped them.

That is possibly true, but it wouldn't be fair to this team or staff to compare them to that era.

I can’t think of too many playoff teams that can just line up and run the ball like that. Chicago can run it, and Detroit can sometimes. But Seattle, Philly, SF, Green Bay, they are all fairly pedestrian in the run game.

We didn't lose this game due to the weather. Rams lost because of bad play calling on offense and defense, defense didn't show up, and Stafford slept in all week

Whether the weather had anything to do with it, I don’t know. Buts it’s just an observation that when there is cold, rain, snow, or a combination of all of the above, the rams fumble, throw picks, and otherwise lose

I can’t remember any game we’ve won with weather involved. Perhaps some cold weathered Vikings games during the fisher years when they played outside. But that’s it

Huh? Yes they did. They lost as favorites to inferior teams plenty. They had some terrible losses to bad Dolphins teams in Miami during their run.

1. You just gotta bring it every game!!! Let's not act like a subpar performance wasn't something we feared could happen, the Safford streak, winning out, and securing the 1 seed.

2. This loss gets the Rams sharp for their remaining schedule, with biggies against Detroit and Seattle.

So it's happened. Now take it from here! The Rams are still in control...ONE GAME AT A TIME!!!

That is not true.

2003, Brady had 4 picks and was shut out against the Bills, who were 8-8 the previous season, went 6-10 that year.

Brady won a Super Bowl that year. There’s always a once off.
