Vent Thread: Whiners at Rams

[Selassie I]

And don't forget the obvious holding Bosa did on Higbee called exactly opposite. Who jerked who. Or at least both holding so no call.

I wish you hadn't reminded me of that fucking robbery too.

Those mother fuckers believe we are completely stupid and ignorant.

It's worse than trash. They have no shame in it either.

Fuck them. I'm not eating their shit anymore.

I like the competitiveness and passion Kendrick plays with.

I think he projects as a solid backup because he's going to make some tackles and PBU during the course of the game.

He gives you a shot.

But as a starter he is still a liability. Breaks the integrity of a defense. We have seen it now in both games and last year.

He lets guys behind him and worse, can't recover.

I think it's a first man up, its his job to lose mentality. Plus THT is in the doghouse after the dirty facemask tackle.

At some point they have to see if THT has more then Kendrick though. Hopefully very soon or I'm going to lose my shit.

As in a few other cases, the brain trust needs a starter, that everyone else can see is not a starter, get a little nicked up and miss a game to see the light. Or for all the doubters to see they were wrong.

Package Akers and Van Jefferson in a trade for a decent O-lineman. The Rams have to protect Stafford.

You're much TOO kind.

I just don't think there's much (if any) trade value there.

 

[rdlkgliders]

I want whoever the ref was who decided that was intentional grounding by Stafford to get ass raped by Satan's barbed DNA rifle. What a fucking terrible call.

Their were a lot of "questionable calls" This one was egregious and the recourse was summed up beautifully by our in house cunning linguist Thirteen 28. Bravo dude nailed it so to say

 

[dieterbrock]

No doubt my biggest vent was with the refs.
Rams had to use a challenge to overturn an obvious no catch, and would have needed another on the Deebo fumble. Which I wonder, why didnt they challenge that?
At the end of the game when the outcome was pretty much decided, then the refs threw some flags against so it wasnt so lopsided

I think the fumble was clearly a call that the Rams didn't think could be overturned. They had more than enough time to look at it during the timeout SF took. I think we can write that off as a "bad call."

There were some iffy calls, but the turnovers were. the difference in the game, imo.

...

In that situation, I thought they had to use a challenge.

 

[Flatlyner]

To me, the turning point of the game was the Kyren drop/pick. We were driving to score at that point and that pick resulted in the whiners scoring, that said, we also got some lucky things in our favor. Purdy missed 2 deep passes to wide open WR's that likely would have resulted in TD's. I was overall impressed with the team outside of a few players (Van, DK). Not sure why we aren't giving Tomlinson and Robinson some run here. Tomlinson was DB of the year in college, he sure has the chops as much as DK.

Just venting about the refs in general. Rams lost because of turnovers and not taking the 17-10 lead in to locker room at halftime.

Yeah.. I'm overlooking that drive. You're 100 on that.

Progress was already stopped on that play. Would have been difficult to overturn considering the fumbles occurred as he was being pushed backward.

The one call I’ve never heard of was the illegal contact waved off after Stafford left the pocket. Staff never let the pocket and I’ve never heard of that call. It was kind of moot as we hit a first down immediately after. The officiating supervisors need to review this call as they can’t be making some dumb Calvin Ball crap up in order to negate a flag.

 

[ozarkram]

Nothing to vent about personally. Young team played well mistakes were made. We get another shot and we will be better.

 

[NorthernRam]

If the Rams throw-in a sixth round pick, they might get-back a seventh.

That's a joke but it's not too far from the truth. With Jefferson a pending free agent, who has dealt with durability issues and is not getting targets when Kupp is out ... I don't think he gets them much ... if anything.

Regarding Akers, I would love to know ... What's the deal!
I hope we eventually get the facts. If it's a Bad Attitude, what exactly is it?
Has Akers missed or been late for meetings, is he dis-respectful towards the coaches, missing assignments, not hitting the right hole or not running aggressively.

Of course the Rams would never say it, but it's likely that Akers complained that he didn't start in the Seahawks game, was told that he wouldn't start against the 49ers, threw a hissy fit, demanded a trade (he is in a contract year) and was subequently made a Gameday inactive.

He'll be traded for peanuts.

Don't know how a back who had 22 carries and only picked up 29 yards has the balls
to complain.

If I wasn't busy on a Sunday, I can put on the pads and get 1.4 yards per carry too, and I'll graciously accept an NFL paycheck for doing it.

Akers lacks field vision, lateral movement and burst through the hole.

Based on what McVay said in the press conference, Akers is done in LA, either traded or - more likely - cut.

 

[Kupped]

Btw…
How do you guys think this game plays out if the Rams have CMC & Niners have Williams?

I think the Rams win and that’s my best argument for trading for Taylor.

 

[snackdaddy]

Its a vent thread. But I think we're not as pissed as usual. They were beat by a better team. In a game where the unforced errors made the difference. It wasn't as much what the 49ers did as it was what we did.

1-1 is better than I expected. And the way they've been playing against two playoff teams, I feel better about them than I did 8 days ago.

Cincy has been pretty good the past couple years. But they are off to a bad start.

 

[DeaconJones]

SF had dumb luck on the snap that bounced off of Kittle's knee and went straight to McCaffery. I thought at first it was a wildcat snap. You would think most times that ball would have bounced crazily in the backfield giving the Rams time to pounce on it.

Rams drive at the end of the first half - if they had been able to run one more play inbounds, SF would not have had time for their TD drive. The clock would have been burned down another 40s or so. And that 1s left for them to get it in the end zone ...

Intentional grounding?

On the Deebo fumble, I can only presume the ball must have been out of bounds somehow. I didn't see a perfect camera angle. I am pretty sure they would have challenged if they thought they had a winning case. It was nice of SF to take a timeout to give us extended review time!

I don't disagree with your reasoning. I just don't think the Rams can risk what it will take to trade for him and then risk not being able to sign him. Plus, I think the rams plan is to go with what they have this year. Keep the Cap clean. No matter where that puts them. Then get aggressive. Even if they add a Taylor or an edge at the deadline, it doesn't put them in contention for a SB. They will stick to the plan.
