Just got back to the hotel.

Crazy game to see in person.

Great seeing the stadium with 99% Rams fans. Place rocked!

GO RAMS!!!
That part was great to see. This was the first home game where it actually felt like it was Rams House. Hopefully that carries over into the postseason.

I'll suck more oxygen from the room. Loaded boxes to stop the run and pressure Stafford combined with man coverage is stifling McVay's scheme. Just like in 2018 wth the 6 man defensive line, McVay stubbornly plods on without any major adjustment.

We've seen this same scheme from the Saints, Jets, and now Cardinals. Its starting to look like a blueprint.
The schemes by those teams were not the same at all.

Dink and dunk offense is the Rams Kryptonite these days. It negates the pass rush and takes advantage of that big cushion provided by the secondary. It’s hard to watch and doesn’t let the offense get into any kind of rhythm.

This team may reach the playoffs but I doubt they get very far.
It’s almost like Raheem is back running the defense.

I feel like at this point our clear #2 should be Robinson. He has just been better this year than Kupp. Also maybe more plays off during the game would help Kupp make more of an impact when he's in the game.
It looks like Kupp’s biggest role now is blocking on that overused screen to Nacua. Kupp still sticks his face in there and when he seals that outside defender, Nacua gets a big gain.

Kupp is giving all he has, he just doesn’t have the wheels anymore.

I truly think the offense would've looked MUCH different with Havenstein in. If we're rolling with Notedoom, I think we get eliminated quite easily in the playoffs. Nevertheless, a crucial win. I'll take it! Hopefully the teams we need to win tomorrow do and we can rest our starters for the playoffs. I think this year we need it.
Yeah, it’s hard to bag on the offense too much because the entire output is skewed by the poor play of Noteboom. He got beat all night and worse as the game progressed.

That being said, Stafford has to quit throwing the ball to the other team in the first half.

A week to rest would do the Rams good.

If the Rams have the best Defense going into the post season they have a real good shot at winning it all
What I am loving about this defense is they wear down the opposing OL. However way their rotation is set up, it’s working.

Teams trying to stay on the field in short yardage, 4th downs, are not faring well. It’s amazing how stout the interior has become in short yardage situations.

The vanilla stuff is an indicator that McVay doesn't have much trust in the offense.
I hope you are right.
That would mean there ARE plays he’s just reluctant to use.
Come playoff time, he won’t have a choice. He will have to try some of those riskier or chunk plays.

One play that always stands out in my mind from the title run in ‘21 is that flea flicker screen to our 3rd string TE (Blanton) in a congested backfield vs the 9ers (IIRC) that went for over 10 yards at a critical point in the game.

I never saw that play ran before that game and I have not seen it ran since—in 3 years!

Plays like that are coming. They HAVE to be.
