Like last night, it was a game we found a way to lose. Again. How does that make us feel going into the playoffs?
Once you blow the f&$#ing whistle ....... the play is over.
Yeah that call was completely fucking absurd. It was a bent decision driven by a desire to help Seattle. That was not a mistake. You don't take a TD off the board for some shit like that, in a game that big, unless you have a clear agenda.
When we look back on this season McVay's inability to hold his ST Coach accountable is probably going to be one of his greatest mistakes. They are very fortunate they found Mevis, despite him missing that late FG. He's got the kind of mental toughness we need more of on teams. This goes back to the fact we don't have enough guys like that on our units, and also we give up an edge schematically to almost every ST Coach we face.
I know my confidence level for the Rams playoff success is mediocre.
We were O for November in 2021. This offense is significantly better than that offense.
Hate to say it, but re-signing Tutu and the inability to trust Hunter as the 3rd RB, means we are carrying Rivers & Tutu, neither of which can or should be on our special teams. Thus coverage and return teams suffer. Should have an extra DB on the roster, one of which we could have used Tutu's money on in FA. Or one in the draft, if they weren't going to use Hunter. Could have kept Schraeder as 3rd RB, and drafted a CB.
That may be true. But fortunately the playoffs will determine that. Rams playoff chances are all about how the defensive front plays. If they play well for 4x games in a row, we will hoist that Lombardi.
What's strange is he had no problems going through them prior. But he probably likes Chase. Thing is if Chase can't get the actual product on the field fixed it doesn't matter.
As I mentioned above, roster construction is part of the issue. Maybe too many WRs, not enough DBs or LBs. Tutu is a wasted roster spot if you can't use him on offense or ST's. Rivers does nothing special and certainly can't cover on ST's.
I've added Al Michaels to my no-fly list right next to Collinsworthless. When I see his sorry ass on the sched I will either have the sound off or the spanish feed. Because I wanted to choke the fuck out of him last night. Believe that.
They did nothing wrong.... the nerds in the replay booth overturned the correct call on the field
The offense hung a lot of points on a great defense in that game. And should have scored that first TD so because of crooked ass refs you can add 4 points to the total.
Worst part was those two idiots trying to talk up the Seattle player who touched the ball like he had known what he was doing. Like it was all some miraculous event where only he had the foresight to recognize it.
Disagree. The Rams can beat any team in the NFL. But in order to do so they need to commit to staying with offensive and defensive schemes that are working. They also need to adjust quickly to offensive and defensive schemes that are not working. The roster is not so strong that they can afford many injuries or that they don’t have weaknesses. case in point the defensive pass coverage is below average when there’s not a lot of pressure put on the opposing quarterback. And without a doubt they’ve got to have one of the worst special teams in the NFL. Especially kick coverage and kick return returns. It will take a four game good to excellent run for the Rams to win the Super Bowl but it could happen so for that I’m thankful. God bless Stafford. God bless Nacua. God bless McVay.
Yes just read your post and I agree. We're seeing that one the same. And by the way this isn't new. It's not just a this-season thing. This is instead a McVay thing. It's been one of his biggest issues over his time with us, which again I have to caveat this by saying he's a great coach because some folks can't seem to keep that balance in their heads while criticizing him.
