Vent thread: Rams @ Vikings

[…..]

Its our anemic offense. Not all on Foles.

With him, I'm more upset that he started 0-4 than what happened after that. You just CANT start the game with a sorry ass effort and go three and out twice in a row and set the tone of failure. You cant. You cant be surprised by the same wind that was there when you warmed up, so save that excuse.

And even if it was Foles....then its our coaches jobs to call plays we can be successful with. They have to find that out.

So when you're canning the QB....take the rest too, including Fisher and his outdated philosophy and dependence upon defense and field goals.

Draft the best WR on the board. That's our only hope. No way we can rely on two players to score every one of our points.

I don't care what anybody says wr wasn't the problem today

 

[dieterbrock]

You could put an in prime Kurt Warner back there with Holt and Bruce as wr and they would fail miserably too. This is the worst offensive strategy I've ever seen.
Long developing technical plays with completely inexperienced back up rookie oline.
They expose their own weakness in plain view.

 

[Dodgersrf]

I like Foles and Cignetti less every week.
Neither one is doing well.

 

[Gandalf]

This offense is a mess. Thank the footballs gods for Gurley. Imagine what this beast would do with a good O-line?

 

[dbrooks25]

Blaine Gabbert looks like a better qb right now than Foles and that is just terrible

So Gabbert is better now? Lol, take a break from this internet thing. You'll feel better a couple of days from now.

Does Martz at OC come along with Warner, Bruce and Holt?

Minnesota is a pretty decent team, although their record is inflated by weak competition. We should have beat them at full strength. That's the problem. INJURIES HAPPEN IN FOOTBALL. We needed to win against Pittsburgh when we were healthy, and we most definitely needed to win against Washington. Those games are the ones that will end up sinking our playoff hopes. Not losing on the road in OT to a pretty decent Minnesota team while being severely undermanned. The Vikings were missing guys too but nothing compared to the talent we had sidelined.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Our O line wasn't terrible today.
Our oline isn't calling a running play on 3rd and long late in the game down by 3. Our oline isn't constantly missing wide open WR's. Our oline isn't making bad reads and holding the ball too long.

We need better QB play and play calling in general. Our passing offense is terrible and every team knows this. Gurley and TA running the ball is not an offense that will get us to the post season.

Hey all,

As a Viking fan I've been were y'all are 100 times before so I won't flip you any shit. My vent for the game is that late hit by #20 could have cost the Vikings the game and could still cost us our season if Bridgewater can't comeback soon. 15 yards and a first down don't mean anything on that scale. Bridgewater may not blow anyone away but he is a gamer & you saw what we can do with Shawn Hill .

I thought the Rams went to the well too often on the misdirection/reverse plays. They worked well early but the Vikings saw them so much that when the Rams really needed yards those plays were smothered. And the 2 point conversion in the 1st quarter .

There is a lot of season ahead, good luck the rest of the way.

Trade up for Goff or Lynch.

Draft Pharoh Cooper.

Sign Alshon Jeffery.

I'm sick of our offense being the laughing stock of the league.

I wish we had Gurley. I think that would have changed those two games.(Gurley barely played against Pitt so I'm not counting it) Even with our terrible performance against Washington.

Shit happens, and Joyner isn't a dirty player, even if the announcer, with the purple shirt, says it 1000x. That being said, I hope he's OK. I wish you guys luck, and I wish we both would have had better games today. I wish the refs were better today too. They were horrible, all around.

 

[DenverRam]

Time to get a real #1 and #2 WR. Instead of pretending Quick and Britt are one.

 

[kurtfaulk]

.

It's official, this team is going nowhere with Fisher. Playing for the fg with 4 minutes to go crushed part of my soul. When will the Rams have a hc that plays to win again?

Foles may not be great, sometimes doesn't see his open WR's.. but other than the GB game, he takes care of the football.

 

[JoeBo21]

I still can't believe we ran the same fucking two plays the entire game and expected them to still work late in the 4th and in OT

blows my mind

Fisher's such a fucking pussy playing for FG's late in games too I can't stand it

 

[jrry32]

Foles may not be great, sometimes doesn't see his open WR's.. but other than the GB game, he takes care of the football.

Yep. He takes care to keep the football out of the end-zone.

Agreed, Gurley might well have made the difference. But I still think the coaching staff made the right call by resting him early and easing him in.

No reason we should lose to Washington, with or without Gurley. Pittsburgh is a better team. But again, not one TD at home against that weak and injury riddled secondary? Inexcusable even without Todd.

Fisher and Snead are getting what they deserve with this o-line . Two rookies , injury prone guard , unproven center , and what looks love a potential bust . I think all of us on this board knew what was coming .
