Vent thread

[Giles]

The defense failed in some key situations.. however without turnovers and blocked punts they gave up 17 pts... thats still pretty good.

17 point to the jets who are the 32nd ranked offense is not good...at all. Especially considering what they did to the Patriots the week before.

Oh stop
I have already gone over the first 6 series where only 1 was on Goff
...

I will not stop. I only speak the truth. Sorry you don't agree, I'd be super surprised if everyone agreed with me all the time.

But the fact is you've "gone over the first 6 series", but that doesn't mean you're correct or that I agree with your conclusions. The 1st series, for example, you blame Blythe (and he deserves blame since he clearly lost his battle). As if this means Goff gets off the hook. I think 25+ NFL QBs run for 20 yards in the WIDE OPEN middle of the field the Jets gifted him. But he was in his once-every-three-games fog. He snaps out usually in the second half, and this was no different, but by then the team has to play perfectly which is hasn't yet. Although in Buffalo they did, but got robbed by a horrible DPI call.

In any event, the Jets are a bad team and there were so many opportunities to treat them like every other team has this season.

But as far as AGREEMENT, I fully agree Goff needs to get his touch back on longer throws. Not sure WTF happened, but it is now 180 degree opposite of the Green Midget when he winds up to throw. With RW, I think "Crap, here comes another perfect long throw dropping from the sky, hope WR drops it". With Goff, I wonder "Overthrow, or underthrow?"

Still venting. Disbelief at what I saw yesterday.

I usually get over a loss pretty easily. As others point out, much bigger things in life.

But I must admit this one was different. Announcers kept calling it "the biggest upset of the year." Yuck. Never want that.

I really feel some of the Rams fans edginess today. Unlike other times.

Or is this too a really weird response @AvengerRam

On the first series - Goff saw a wide open receiver and tried to get it there but Blythe blew his block and his arm got hit.

I agree with everyone's assessment that Goff doesn't have the best ability when getting hit from behind to know a hit is coming but still Goff made the right play if Blythe holds his block for a split second longer.

I would much rather have Goff throw to a wide open receiver than try to run for it.

You're blaming goff for the loss then say you only speak truth?Laughable.

I just looked at that on the all 22 and Blythe and Corbett miscommunicated on that one.

I am not sure if it was Blythes guy or Corbetts guy.

3 guys rushing thru and the guy in between Havenstein and Corbett got to Goff.

But I am wondering if Blythe was supposed to back up and block that guy or if Corbett was supposed to hand off his guy to Corbett and take the other guy. Not really sure on that one.

And one more thing - are we talking about the same play on 3rd and 2 - Goff had no lane to run thru to get 20 yards.

 

[RhodyRams]

This year after watching the first series of the games, on offense and defense, I have been able to predict with a 100% accuracy which games the Rams would end up losing.

An undocumented 100% success rate is quite the accomplishment.

while I never actually kept track, i would say i am about 80-90% accurate. it's not hard to figure out if the offense or defense or both come out playing flat.

No point in even explaining to people who blame goff for EVERY loss. If he did take off and run and fumbles then what? We saw him do just that in san fran and the haters ripped him rightfully so. Goff is not a mobile quarterback so expecting him to take off is unrealistic. That's not his game and never will be. But nope the haters expect him to be jesus and the rams to go 19-0 and win the sb or he's a bum.

 

[Tano]

I just looked at the 4th and 4 play on the All 22 and the guy that Goff should have gone to

Not everett
Not kupp underneath

But Woods was breaking free before Goff threw the ball and no one was covering him.

He would have gotten to the 15 yard line before getting tackled by the safety if not a TD

And none of us would have had a problem with the play if it went incomplete for whatever reason because it was a 15 yard pass at most. Of course you can always bitch that Goff missed a completely wide open receiver but that's another story. And one thing we can usually agree on - Goff is usually accurate on wide open players.

 

[BriansRams]

Because Andy Reid has the best QB in the NFL. What decent coach wouldn't put the ball in Mahomes's hands? Goff isn't Mahomes. Mahomes may well go down as the best QB to play the game.

Actually. Truthfully, he's not even half of Mahomes.
I wish we had a QB that could at least be a game manager. Is that too much to ask for?

First Ram game Ive missed watching live in about four or five years.....everything went as expected?
I didn’t miss anything?

Rams won in a blow out as expected... not like we could ever lose to the Jets dude...

 

[JRobinson]

I dont think so. Sam darnold and nick mullens made this d look like crap. Both are bottom tier quarterbacks and both times the defense folded when we needed a stop. No excuse for the way the d played those games. If they can't stop those two with the game on the line why would i have faith in them in the playoffs?

So this is where scheme and matchups apply more than said performance of individual players. Defensively, Staley was out coached. Those things happen in this league my man. Again, they aren’t ranked falsely.

I also said this after the Miami game

This was a stupid stupid stupid game

 

[RamsFanCK]

sums it up nicely

[ottoman89]

Still venting. Disbelief at what I saw yesterday.

I'm in the same boat. Although I told my friends the last 2 weeks that I almost guarantee the Rams lose, but I was still surprised.

You're blaming goff for the loss then say you only speak truth?Laughable.

What's laughable is your reading comprehension skills. I am not blaming Goff for this loss. I am accurately stating that he was in his once-every-three-game fog to start the game.

I even pointed out that he usually recovers in the second half and that the team had many many chances to do what every other team did to the Jets this season.

Not sure how much more the Goff apologists need before realizing he is just average. I'm not saying that's bad. Average for an NFL QB means he's a rare talent. That's why he gets the money he makes. Never said he was overpaid either, but I'm sure you'll lump me in that camp as well.

This forum is really about attacking people for their opinions, whether they're thought out or not. Just has to be different than what YOU believe? Reality clearly has very little to do with it.

BTW, I rewatched the game on the condensed version on GamePass. On quite a few key 3rd down plays, the Jets only got the first down after our D linemen were held. Pulled down in a few cases. Really pissed me off when juxtaposed with the 2 marginal holds on Akers long runs.

That is another candidate for those who are actually discussing "blame" for the loss.
