VENT Vent thread - Rams at Falcons

[Alaskan Ram]

Nice job erasing 21 point deficit. Made me feel better. Hope we are healthy for post season.
Need Jackson, Dotson, Tae, and Q back. Hope Corum heals up quick.

Goodnight Ramily. Everyone have a safe new year.

Your record is what you are. Saying we could be means not much. They don't gift wrap it for you, but if they did, then yes we'd be 16-0

No excuses losing to Atlanta and Carolina. Zero. If we could make a FG we beat Philly. If we don’t fumble at the goal line we beat the Whiners. If we don’t choke a 30-14 lead in the 4th we beat the Seahawks. Show me another team that close to 16-0 vs 11-5 ever.

And apparently Stafford giving them the ball repeatedly even for a TD is the defenses fault we lost tonight.

No - defense gave up a few big plays, but they played well enough to win. I was disappointed in letting Atlanta run right down to kick that FG at the end. But the loss is nearly entirely on Stafford IMO.

yeah when you give up a 95 touchdown run and miss 200 tackles you get a part of the blame pie too. theres plenty to go ‘round

BTW. The refs fucking suck

I don't know about you guys, but right now I like the team that starts out 1 and 3 better than ending 1 and 3.

You won't find one.

He really isnt. Karty lost all confidence and could not be trusted on any kicks. Harrison Mevis is a mediocre kicker and gets shaky when at 50 yards, only hitting at that range went at Sofi. Those are not the stats of a kicker who is a force multiplier on offense, hence why McVay is opting to go for it. Especially considering that the Rams will be traveling during the entire duration of their playoff campaign.

He may not have the most confidence in the world in him but his stats are way better than Karty's and it's not even close

Are there any teams who have gone on a run after falling flat late in December? I’m not sure but it’s not looking great.

I understand several starters were out but I am preparing myself for disappointment. I don’t think I’ve been this saddened by a McVay team before. I genuinely thought this was our year we’d see us get a 2nd ring.

Obviously I could be wrong and yes I’m venting and pissed but none of this feels good. Momentum is so vitally important heading into the playoffs and we have none of it.

Let’s see what happens…

I’m with you. It would be different if we fought hard to get to 11-5 and into the playoffs. But we’ve blown a great opportunity that doesn’t come along very often - the coveted one seed.

 

[Tumak61]

McVay said every starter is playing against the Cards. I'd have them practicing at 6am tomorrow. What a shit performance.

 

[TXRams86]

How many bad games do you think he’s had?

2 and all coming at the worst times, to close out the season. Is it gonna take another stinker to end the season for it to be too many? You can't play your worst football in November and December.

Rams have 5 losses by a combined 17 points
The Rams are the only team to have beaten the Rams this year

 

[XXXIVwin]

In the end this game was rather meaningless...

wish that were so....

Not HUGE implications but...

A Falcons loss could have moved them up in draft order, instead the win moves the ATL pick down to #12, behind #11 Miami...

And of course the rams no longer control their destiny for the #5 seed, now they need some help to move up to #5...

A disappointing loss...

Only hope is to fuel more anger for the Rams playoff run.

 

[SWAdude]

I agree the refs suck, but the Refs did not throw those INTs! Tired of the Ref excuses!

You are absolutely right.

But they did throw the game.

Amazing that doesn't piss you off.

 

[OldSchool]

Refs actually suck and anybody defending them just baffle me.

I also think it’s less of a gut punch to the team when we turn it over on downs than when we miss a kick. Psychologically speaking.

Also the offense has been historically productive this year. We dance with the girl that brung ya.

 

[DragonOfBlood]

“It was the refs. Waaaaah.”

Rams played like shit, have been blowing winnable games all year, and are limping into the playoffs. They have all the features of a classic one and done team.

Zero sacks, zero TOs, 350 total yards, they were not good at all today.

Again they don't hand it to you. No this isn't a 16-0 team. It's an 11-5 team.

 

[majrleaged]

Funny how the Rams aren't getting the calls. Not only that, but they make up some shit on the fly to give our competition an extra 2 points. Oh and on our 2 big scoring plays they notice the holding and on theirs they ignore it. Coincidence?
