So much of kicking is mental. Gotta hope GZ can shake this off. He usually does. It' kind of weird and annoying how he does his whole " one good year followed by one bad year" routine. But he's arguably the best in the business even in his "down" years, and easily in a class of his own as far as I am concerned in his good years, so it's hard to complaint.

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

Yep.
But you forgot McVay going for two way too soon in the game.
Surrendering a point and losing by a point.

I didn’t like that either but so did Seattle as a reactionary move...and failed also

Rule of thumb (at least my thumb)

Please don’t go for two with over 6 minutes to play

I'm gonna take a #12 and go to bed.

To be fair, Gurley had a very good start. For some reason when we were in the red zone for the first time McVay decided to pull him out and put in Brown. Completely killing his rhythm.

Yeah I thought minus the fumble, Gurley was fine. Ran hard in the first half. I think he only had 3 carries in the second half, one of them being a touchdown.

Also Gurley is a significantly better pass blocker than Brown. If we are going to throw the ball 50 times a game with this offensive line, you are going to need a back that can block.

This is a point I had forgotten. I didn't agree with that call at the time. Until I thought we had converted it....

If we kicked the extra point, then Seattle wouldn’t have gone for two that they didn’t convert and then kicked an extra point so all a wash at the end.

We almost, just 2 plays short of being undefeated, but we are also, al ost lucky to have the wins we do. I think we looked better in this loss than a couple of our wins.

We need to figure some shit out on our defense though. Disappointing, last 2 games. 2 stops, 2 more wins.

Simple, but true.

I, agree, too early to go for two, but, not a problem for me.

Anybody else notice, the moment we get into field goal range we stop moving the ball. We have a chance to go up by 2 scores we only get a field goal. We have a chance to roll we just stall. It happens so often. I don't know why we stop moving. Well this time we decide to not hike the fucking ball. And don't tell me we over came it, cause we should have been able to get closer. We still might of missed, but we always seem to settle some how once we get with in range.

It truly was, but right before they ran it, it crossed my mind that Schotty might get cute and do something stupid. Sure enough ...

So glad he's on our OC now. He damn near cost them the game, and the only reason he did is because GZ was about a yard right of where he needed to be.

I sort of expected a Wilson roll out. Then thought, why? Carson has been getting 3 yards after contact.
The pitch was a horrible choice by Wilson.
He’s a smart player but that could have been disastrous for them.

The Carolina game never felt in doubt to me.
Cleveland the O was shuffling for sure.
Saints game was never in doubt.
2 solid wins and one close one in my opinion.

 

[fearsomefour]

Yeah both in 30’s which we failed to get to this year. 29.

Um....ok.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Damn
Missed the field goal to win
Sucks losing to the Shecocks
But we will get them in LA

 

[Ram65]

Gotta wait 10 Days for another game.....Like Gurley I hate TNF when Rams play...lol

Ok Rams should have won. JZ has to make that kick. Rams still are alive but, need to clean some things up on both sides of the ball.

Good Night!

I think Gurley not being the same guy has hurt us to this point. We're out of sync. But I also think McVay is starting to realize that it's time to hand the keys to Goff. Yeah, he's been up and down, but it's time to make this the Goff show, not the Gurley show. With Everett adding to our awesome trio of WRs, we have the weapons to throw on just about anybody. And we've been shredding teams from the shotgun this year. I think we're about to see the offense evolve.

 

[GhostTide]

i had us going 8-0 before the bye. We have lost at home to a bad Bucs team. And now lost to a mediocre Seattle team. I mean they barely beat a terrible Bengals team at home, beat a bad Steelers team, lost to Saints at home, and beat a terrible Cardinals team. Think about that. We had no business losing these two games. None. These are the games that haunt you at the end of the season when you just miss the playoffs or have to go on the road.

 

[OntarioRam]

Everett picked a good time to emerge. Hopefully he can sustain it because if Cooks it out, we could use another receiving weapon. Gotta wonder who the deep threat is now though.

 

[Spider2YB]

One thing I would like to see change.....McVay used to run Gurley on a much wider variety of routes. Now he’s pass blocking and just leaking into the flat 99% of the time. He used to run him on seams, slants, go routes, etc.

 

[RamsFanCK]

Peter's and Talib need to learn to fucking tackle. Jesus.

Who the hell is buttering up our receivers hands...that equipment guy needs to be fired!

Allen...snap the damn ball!

Peter's has the most disgusting looking back. It says 22 and just above that it says "I GOT BURNED AGAIN". Seriously the amount of times I've watched this dude trail a receiver into the endzone is like, historic...Will not miss him one bit when he is gone.

Think thats it for now. I'll return after ruminating for a while

Yes. Saw signs of evolving, and like in Alien, I saw some feisty life.

Sounds crazy, I know, but O isn’t the problem, right now,

I like your thumb‘s rule.

I agree with this. If u wish to be critical, keep making these posts. Good analysis.
