We lost when Noteboom went down though, offense never was the same after.
Definitely. The pass pro with him in there is good enough that the 9ers were straight shitting in their pants. Him going down was a significant part of us losing that game.

We are a playoff caliber team.
We are indeed. Depth is dicey, I think, but yes we just played one of the contenders to the wire without our best passing game weapon.

Four quick observations; and I watched it with the sound-off, so I don't know if there were any relevant comments.

The interception off Williams' hands was a huge play but it's tough to be down on him based on how he played the past two games.

Anchrum let Warner go on the huge sack. He wasn't beaten. He didn't try to pick Warner up. If Noteboom is out, I hope it's Dotson at RG.

On the 2nd interception, it looked to me that Jefferson rounded-out the route, instead of coming flat; and that allowed the cornerback to make the play. That was really sloppy route-running.

And, for the life of me, I can't figure out what the Rams' coaches see in Derion Kendrick. There's nothing I like about him; and his lack of aggressiveness in tackling makes me crazy (I mean, more than normal). Would much rather see Tomlinson and Shelley out there, with Witherspoon and Durant.
Sanchez said the same thing about the 2nd int. He said QBs don't have the time to figure out the angle of the defender to the WR and have to trust the WR to help them out and Van didn't do that

without a doubt..defender had inside leverage that Stafford couldn't see because VJ rounded the route...if he squared it off he had about 3 steps on the defender

I'm one of the biggest Van supporters and yet I couldnt agree more. That was such a soft route

I'm proud of our team and honestly didn't expect to win this one. With that said, the Rams have definitely changed my mind that we can make a run to the playoffs. I'm currently marinating my crow as I'm eager to eat it. The defense needs work, but the offense hit gold with Puka and Atwell growing as a player as well. Lastly, our o-line is much more improved than I initially thought.

Our young WR's and RB did that several times to Matt today

9ers got very lucky today. Several drives in a row where the Rams assisted them in stopping our offense. And I think this game result is perfect for this team too. Because they're gonna be fucking pissed. They're gonna get back to work and fine tune shit. And they will look forward to playing the shitters again in their house and maybe causing them some seeding problems.

We have a good team. Probably not a great team but they should be in the playoff mix. This is a real blessing. Did not expect this quality of a team and I'm proud of them. :thumbsup1:

Great job Puka and TuTU!
I am so disappointed in Jefferson's lack of improvement. He is topped out I guess. Time to move on from him.
Yeah, if the broadcast analysis was correct, that INT was on Jefferson and not Stafford.

I didn't have big expectations that Jefferson could take a leap and be more than what he could be but I was expecting a ting more improvement.

I think the Giants had their greatest comeback in like 99 years or something in that Cardinal game. :laugh1:

Van was 100% at fault there. He stayed on his route instead of playing the ball vs the DB. This is 101 shit.
