Rams at Saints

[mst1981]

Even the best teams suffer heavy defeats from time to time.

If we go on to lose this game we'll learn a hell of a lot about this team from seeing how we react to it. I'm looking forward to seeing how we rise to the challenge.

Hell, it's incredible to see how far this team has come that we're midway through the season and are pissed off that we look set to lose our first game.

 

[Young Ram]

We get the ball to open the half. Score 7 and we’re back in it.

 

[Dxmissile]

There you go, telling others what to do...just saying, don't bitch about something if you're going to do the same thing man...it's simple logic, or so I thought. I support your right to complain about the officials, as I do his to point out the fact that the officials aren't the problem.

Bitch about something, bro you got the sequence of events all wrong and I didn’t know you was his personal spokesperson. I made a statement first and the other poster told me what NOT to Post. How hard is that for you to understand??

Everyone wants to talk about regression or crap team people even if we lose were 8-1 if we win were 9-0 that's not a crap team. As far as regression keep this in mind EVEN THE BEST TEAMS IN HISTORY HAVE LAID COMPLETE EGGS ON THE FIELD every once in a while

It’s not just losing a game. It’s how. Our defense is supposed to be great with all these high priced guys we’ve brought in. And we look lost on the field. It’s the 9th game we should be jelling not looking like a high school defense. That’s what’s disappointing. One loss? I expect 3 and I’m ok with that. Except it mean NO needs to lose several games or else we’ll be right back here in January and that’s scary.

 

[fearsomefour]

Still plenty of game left... unlikely we can come back but I'm not giving up also.

I am interested to see how McVay play calls out of the half.
More Gurley to shorten the half or attack with downfield passes

 

[Ellard80]

Yeah this defense is going to have to show some pride in the 2nd half.

But if we lose this game it's not the end of the world.. never was.

 

[OntarioRam]

Not ticked or over reacting. But is it possible to start questioning Wade in this new NFL.

This D has too much talent for this crap

Agreed. The defence has too many talented players on it to be this bad for this long. Wade needs to get this unit in line or we need to find someone else who can. Granted, I would still place more blame on the players than the coaching. Just look at all the missed tackles. That's on the players. But the D has been pathetic for a while now. You can't help but think scheme could be improved.

 

[Mick]

The Rams do this often, especially this year....gonna wait till the game is over to call it over, and let's see what adjustments they make....two TDs and a stop, and it's anyone's game. I don't think that's impossible....

You'd be irrational not to question him imo lol. This defense needs a revamp. We are not a deep playoff calibre team with them. Yes, we lack some player talent at certain positions, and Talib is out, but we are getting gashed with a defense full of big names and high draft grades.

 

[RamFan503]

Haha.
No.
An attempt at being humorous.
Ellard complained about it.
I explained it was a joke and apologized.

Too fast and emotional of a thread to pull that off. Please don’t.

 

[Dirigo]

Big test for Goff in the second half. Can he lead a comeback? We shall see.

 

[Karate61]

The Offense is scoring! 17 points, right? If defense lights it up, a turnover, and it's game on!

 

[fearsomefour]

56 yards by GZ more than half at up the goal post.
Huge leg.

 

[norcalramfan]

Two personal fouls suggest we’re losing our composure. Need to put a lid on that at half time and focus.

 

[ramsince62]

A crew with a history of screwing us completely changes the game with an absolutely inexcusable bad call. How different might this game be if we got that first down? The defense has been trash. Scoring a TD on that drive to go up 21-14 changes the game. freak those shitbags.

Woulda's and shoulda's, I'm sorry but so far the Saints are beating the Rams excuses or no...

 

[Varg6]

Let's see what kind of adjustments we make on both offense and defense. I'm not counting this team out until it's over. Not thrilled with where we're at, but let's see what kind of resolve we've got.

It was huge, we aren't doing ourselves any favors, but these are backbreaking calls. Every time with this guy he's making backbreaking calls.

 

[GhostTide]

Im not sure KC has the better offense and the Saints defense is a lot better then the Chiefs.

Really? KC is ranked ahead and way ahead in several offensive categories. It’s not close.

Exactly right, unfortunately sometimes it takes a shock like this game to wake a team up and refocus.
