Dude I don't think anyone is upset at being 11-2 it's more frustrating that we have to keep pace with the effin saints ....it's actually annoying I'd handle a loss a lot better had they lost today or they were in general a 10-3 team or anything but of course the Rams are 11-1 and we have to have the saints be right there and have beaten us to boot.

You mean like almost every QB in the league....including Brees, Rivers, Brady?
Collinsworth brought up a valid point and something i thought about a week ago. The Rams run so much play action that when it's become obvious that they aren't running it at all...it's a wasted fool strategy. A smart defense (Chicago) will just ignore the play action and tee off on the QB.
Rams can't afford to ignore the run if they're going to run everything through play action.

Difficult without a TD
Agreed, but some can deal with it better than others.
That pick by Johnson should have changed the game. Instead Chicago took advantage by getting a turnover themselves. Just seems like we didn’t come to play at all. No quick snaps, not a lot of motion. I know this happens and you’re not gunna win every game but we need to find a way to move the ball against great defenses. Because if this is any preview for the playoffs, we won’t get very far.
At times it can appear like that but I prefer to say that these guys with genius offensive tendencies seem to out think themselves at times. The end result is more strange timeouts, appearing confusion, and a game now and then that is completely out of sorts.
Two good plays is all it takes to set a rythem. So I hold hope at all times.
McVay just needs to have an alternative. Maybe he's hoping everyone forgets about them so he can pull them out in the playoffs.
I feel you still gotta run them to keep the defense honest though. Same thing happened with Atlanta last year. We ran absolutely none of those to Tavon.
Agreed, the problem is Gurley and the line has struggled. I think we did abandon the run a little too early. But damn Goff and Gurley are pure synergy at this point. Balance was our best weapon. The Bears defense is just too damn good. Its made us one dimensional and made Goff's pocket non existent. We lost our advantage altogether.
That's why a lot of us are a little frustrated with the lack of run calls ....sometimes you have to just force the run to at least wear them down. Especially since we have a back who can create so much and the fact that our offense is based on what you and the announcers just said.
