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 horror.

I promise I was as livid during this game as anyone else by our game plan and tackling espesciall. Maybe I'm different from many, because I was getting worried about our young team reading their own headlines and not remembering how tight the margins are in this league, no matter who you are playing. I felt this scenario was inevitable and I didn't want it to happen against our division.

I saw nothing that makes me think we aren't still the best team in football. We're just not invincible. That's fine. I never believed we were unstoppable - just really, really good and as complete as any team right now and I still 100% think we are.

Carry on with your raging. I do get it, really. I'm just not there this time.

I think the play calling was fine. The turnovers will kill you. Off the helmet, oh well. The pick six was bad. Stafford in nov 2021. Strip sack a good play by them. Neededmore from the D. Just cant get beat by the run. It set up everything they did on O. Funny how a depleated SF D shuts that Down but our elite D cant.

We may still be the best team but at some point the best team has to stop literally giving games away. The best team is now in danger of having to play at Soldier field in January.

Seen it coming all week , with all the overhype and Super Bowl talk.
Perfect position to take control of the NFC , and lay a giant egg.
Staffords been great , but not today. Can’t take a sack on that play , or get the delay of game. Defense was terrible all day against a weak offense. Gut punch

This was a trap game and it certainly seemed like the Rams looked beyond Carolina. You can't do that in the NFL, against any team, and expect to win on the road. But particularly not against decent opposition, which the Panthers are. They have two very good RBs. Their WRs are just good enough to make plays. Bryce is up and down but can do some damage. They're competing for their division. This was not a basement dwelling opposition. You have to respect them. Their defense was very banged up, particularly in the secondary, but the rainfall somewhat mitigates that positional weakness and the Rams are sneakily quite injured themselves.

We should have really won it on our last offensive drive. McVay burns timeouts all the time, like they're worth nothing. And yet, he doesn't call a timeout on that last 3rd down? Then, with it now at 3rd and 10, your vet QB turns it over - the one thing he can't do - to ice the game? Just throw it away or turf it. Or even turtle and take the sack. Either keeps the game alive. No combo I'd rather have than McVay and Stafford but they basically screwed us. Multiple INTs too by #9, including a pick six, and a turnover on the edge of the endzone...

Most worrying thing about this game isn't even the loss IMO. Irritating to relinquish the inside track to the #1 seed. But you can win from any seeding position and there is lots of football left. "Any given Sunday". We saw that today, and in how we only were 1st because the Eagles lost 2 in a row they "should" have won. The truly worrying things for me are not the L, but rather

1) As feared, with Poona Ford not at 100%, the run defence looks meh. And that was what really transformed the defense this season. They basically cannot be run on. The Rams need to find a counter-punch. Your run D cannot be that reliant on 1 single player.

2) Forbes came crashing back down to earth. He got absolutely cooked 1 on 1, twice, on 4th down, to concede TDs. Against a UDFA and an 8th rd draft pick. Coker and McMillan can make plays. They're legit NFL WRs. But at the of the day, they're JAGs. There is a reason the Panther's passing attack is only meh. You can't lose both snaps that badly as a former high 1st rd draft pick that is campaigning to be treated like a shutdown corner that just needed a change of scenery.

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.

100% correct, he cant help himself. The delay of game is inexcusable and to me was the difference. Call a fkin timeout for godsakes.

No guarantee we get the first down or miss a FG. Rams need to be resilient when the officials throw flags.
 
Here's my take,,bears will stumble the rest of year having to play there division opponents,Eagles are stuck in a slump and this lose is gonna have are team coming out hard against every team left on our schedule.Rams are gonna win out and I smell the niners are too.It will be Rans number 1 seed and niners number 2..This is gonna be a fun one down the stretch.Time to have a beer and play some hunting on Call of the wild.

Calm down, shit like this happens every season to every team no matter how good or bad they are. It sucks and ok to be pissed but the hyperbole and telling members to fuck off is just stupid.
