Rams at Broncos

[OldSchool]

Before I forget, it has bothered me a little that our new kicker can't seem to get a kick off to the end zone, let alone deep or through it ??? Is that right or am I missing something ??? Just curious...

They only returned 2 kicks, I seem to remember a couple going out the back of the end zone but honestly wasn't paying much attention to that.

Cairo did much better on kickoffs today. But, last week most were terrible, so you're correct in your thinking!

Only one of his kickoffs fell short IIRC. Not an issue.

 

[Loyal]

The ball was tipped into his facemask after being thrown too late.

They need to coach up Reynolds reaction time then!

I don't think the victory was nearly as 'ho-hum' as some portend. We pretty much took them to the woodshed.

Santos missed a FG. We also settled for 3 more FGs as McVay went uber-conservative, but had he opted to be more aggressive...or if we needed the points...I think we could have easily put up another 30 spot.

Meanwhile, if you take away the 7 gifted points at the end, we held them in check pretty good.

Considering it was back-to-back road games, after the knock-down drag-out fight in Seattle, and travelling to the high altitude and below freezing temps, along with some key injuries, and your typical 2018 officiating, I think it was a solid showing!

I'll spare you all my full recap and analysis, but Goff didn't play as bad as some will say. And there were some bright spots on Defense as well (not named Troy Hill).

Good Victory Rams!

Should be a full week of ice baths and massages, before we play another divisional game...no rest for the weary.

Yesteday could very well look flat balmy compared to what they might well see in Chicago in December...Real glad they get the Pack at home...

IIRC, Reynolds was the third or fourth progression on the play. Goff probably should have thrown it away, but with it being third down, he tried to gun it into a tight window. He nearly pulled it off. Flukey play. No big deal imo.

The altitude hurt us more than the cold imo. Gurley had to take a breather every few plays because of fatigue.

I was wondering why he was huffing and puffing more - I didn't think of the altitude! That would explain it!!

All in all, I think they played very well (cold, altitude, away game, etc.). I am not going to become spoiled to the point that I let myself down if they don't dominate every game and win by 21.

It wasn't very long ago that this team was the definition of mediocre.

A win is a win... there's no such thing as an ugly win... just win, baby! Whatever cliche you prefer... I'm just glad they won and I think they overcame a lot of challenges.

I am very happy with how they handle whatever is thrown at them... sometimes, it's not much... and sometimes it's quite a bit (like yesterday).

It's just plain good to be a Rams fan right now... I'm savoring every minute.

I recently played golf in Breckenridge, CO.

Granted DEN is "only" about 5200 feet, I'm sure it's hard to play in.
Breckenridge is 9600 feet and our entire golf group struggled. A small upgrade left you gasping for air. You don't sleep soundly... you are fatigued... hell, even our drinking volume was down!

From what I read, it takes approximately four days for your body to acclimate itself to the altitude.

It's not like these Rams players have ever played in higher altitudes before.

win or loose.. this was on the coaching staff .. We all know the players play but
this game should not have come down to this..

For those with different opinions..coach McVay agrees with me....
