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.

he has great make up speed, but if the QB leads the receiver prperly those are TDs. This game the QB didnt bail him out.

Terrible loss. Like everyone, I'm insanely frustrated and disappointed. The Defense got worked. It seemed Carolina's offense emulated Seattle's game plan, which worked great playing from the lead. The Defense had so many big mistakes/letdowns.

Several of our over-hyped players got a big dose of humble pie today:
On Defense ... it was Forbes who stood out in particular, but Verse on contain was also exploited. The Panthers took advantage of their tendencies (like throwing over Forbes w/o Safety help over-the top and Verse's tendency to aggressively drop contain).

On Offense ... Stafford. Two picks (one in their endzone and a P6) plus a fumble in crunch time (w/ at least a chance at a game-tying field goal if he just takes care of the ball). That's a 13-17 point swing on three plays with the ball in his hands. He was off target much of the day too.

The optimist in me says (hopes) this will reignite the fire and focus in the players. There is a lot to learn for the team and coaches in particular too.

There are always setbacks along the way and you need to be hot down the stretch for a deep run. Let's hope they use this as a spring board.
 
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?

Forbes play is dependent on the QB making mistakes... why do you think he was cut from Washington.... He was horrible. Forbes is lucky he's surrounded by good defensive players.

Right now definitely not us. But the good thing is it's wide open this year. Lot of flawed teams who are good but not elite.
 
Stafford early on was not letting the ball go in time enough for me. Double clutched a lot, like he was sort of unsure. maybe it was the weather a little bit.
Just seemed off.
Sucks, if we could have pulled it out that CRAZY catch by Puka would be everywhere.
Kid is a stud.

I am taking us.
I am already over this game. You figure you will have one in a 17-game season
