GAME DAY Rams at Lions SNF - Game Day Thread

[HitStick]

rams will win a lot of games. I’m not happy with the outcome, but I saw a lot of good things

Not to pick or anything.....but I really would have liked to have seen Shula call a run blitz or something.....that or mebbe 8 in the box.
Just can't sit there and watch your guys get blasted backward.

No excuse not to. If Goff is gonna beat you with his arm, so be it. But to let them just run the ball down our throat over and over was so infuriating to watch.

Now time to see what the injuries are

 

[Giles]

I’d rather not

I'm with you but if we want to win the sb it's inevitable. It's either them or the niners.

It's the most disrespectful way to lose a gm. Just got bullied the whole drive.

My only criticism of McVay was the end around inside the one on 2nd down. Give it to Williams again at least once more. You can't run that play to the side of a PS LT who was struggling. A penalty is the one thing you can't do there.

He does seem to have a blind spot when back ups are in. He must really believe in next man up and expects those guys to execute. Saw that last yr in Cincy with Zach Thomas.

Dario us williams might be taking Tre spot and not Durant he was impressive today

 

[ArkyRamsFan]

Kingpin from the comics' name is Willson Fisk. Braden Fiske is our guy.

Didn't know that.....is this the same guy who was Spiderman's mortal enemy?

This has been the achilles heal of our team the entire McVay era, getting pushed around by physical teams. It's why we struggle so much against the Niners, they run the ball a shit load. We can't shed the "finesse" label.

They were exhausted.

If Acuri doesn’t get facemask we win this game with no ot

 

[Jacobarch]

Different year. Same stuff.

McVay, you've got TWO TALL TEs that could be money for you in the redzone. And one, Allen, has 38 1/2" vertical.

Yeah his game plan was questionable. At times I feel like does things in spite of himself

 

[Jacobarch]

Yeah we won't survive with him on Mathews left side. Rams might make a move this week.

 

[Toothsayer]

They lost a game they should have won. No excuses. Poor play calling and performance the last 2 minutes of the game and OT. On to next week.

Respectfully disagree with the first statement. They were competitive in a game they should have been blown out of. I do agree that the precipitous drop off in OT was shocking. Not sure if it was conditioning.

 

[Merlin]

Proud of this team!

I'm pissed. But yeah definitely proud of them. Didn't expect them to really be in this one.

 

[Merlin]

If Acuri doesn’t get facemask we win this game with no ot

Yes I agree. That was a huge mistake.

McVay should have never went for it on 4th down in short field goal range early.
He cost us the game IMO.

 

[Memento]

~ArkyRamsFan~

The very same. Our Fiske is even built like Kingpin; fairly tall and bulky. I thought it was a fitting nickname.

Disagreeing is fine. I see it as up 3 with the ball with less than 3 minutes to go. That's a completely winnable game IMO. Poor performance and play calling lead to a quick turn over and too much time on the clock. Example: Williams should have been coached up to stay in bounds instead of running to the sideline to stop the clock in the Lions favor. When the Lions lined up 6 on the front line the Rams failed to set up the right protection for Stafford. Hence he missed the throw to Kupp.

Mistakes get made in very game. It’s why it’s not easy to win consistently.

As for strategy, McVay did great neutralizing Amon-Ra and LaPorta.

A healthy Rams team wins that game comfortably. Hopefully the Rams are healthy when they meet in the playoffs.
