Saw an article on the game on Yahoo news page. Most the comments are how bad the refs were and basically handed Denver the game. And those were not frustrated Rams fans. People who had no skin in that game. They just saw what was obvious. Puka, you were not wrong.
 
Watched it in slo mo a few times.

The key question IMO is who is initiating the most contact.

Yes, the outside of Wallace's left hand is on Bryant's right hip.

But Bryant grabs Wallace shoulder pad and PULLS Wallace toward him, and then FLOPS to dramatize the contact.

Bryant committed the foul and tried hard to sell it... and fooled the ref behind him.

The ref behind the play probably had an obstructed view and maybe didn't see Bryant's hand tugging the shoulder pad. So it would have been up to the other ref to overrule him. Did they have a conference about it? I'll rewatch later. Shitty call for sure.
As stated eatlier, the DJ had a clear view of what was going on and didn’t throw a flag.

Also wussed out and didn’t even try to have it overruled.

He also ruled the interception as an incomplete pass. Refs on both side of the play and both are fucking retards.
 
The ref with the perfect view saw it clearly. He didn't throw the flag. The guy with the obstructed view threw it. But the one who saw it clearly didn't have the cajones to tell the other guy it was on the receiver not the defender.

I've been saying for year, coaches and players gotta make themselves available for interviews after a game. Why can't they make the refs explain why they did or didn't make a call? I guarantee they will try harder to get it right. As is is, they don't have incentive to try harder.
 
I have to say it yet again...

Stafford missing open receivers, not seeing open receivers, and turning the ball over negate his veteran QB stud positives.

IF you're going to put up with missing open receivers, not seeing open receivers, and turning the ball over, then you should ask yourself why you're starting the old QB instead of the young QB you invested a high draft pick in.

There are still a couple big games ahead, where we're gonna rally around Stafford to try to win and get back into this playoff chase. But if we don't win them, as I observed a couple weeks ago in another thread everybody hated, there is going to be a very obvious decision staring us in the face.
It’s just not a serious take. Stafford was mostly good last night. He’d have to look like he did in Australia for a solid 6-7 week stretch before your suggestion would gain any traction. The Broncos D made Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence look bad too. Stafford threw for almost 400 yards without 2 of his top 3 pass catchers against a top 3 defense.

The only way Ty Simpson sees the field this year is as a result of a catastrophic amount of injuries that completely derail the season. That’s it.

Plus I gotta say, not a great sign that Bama’s offense looks better with Keelon Russell this year than it did with Ty last year.
 
I thought Wallace showed grit after looking shaky early on. Don't get me started on Forbes. For whatever reason this organization is infatuated with certain players *cough* Xavier Smith. This team shows flashes of being really good a few quarters but for a multitude of reasons mentioned in this thread, they can't sustain it. Bottom line is they look like a 1-2 football team.
 
Didn't Evans have a big leg when we got him? What happened? Now that we got our 3 pre season games out of the way we can move forward and start winning some games in a row. Go Rams!

What's ridiculous is that PI was so bad no one even thinking about the ridiculous hands to face penalty on Lake that should have kept them to a field goal and then offensive lineman literally holding every defensive player in camera view by the shoulders from behind when Nix went out at the one inch line. It's really hard to not believe the refs weren't doing everything possible to make that the result. It's really hard to not be bitter after this game.
 
Once again McVay abandons the run.
55 passes and you almost always lose.
55 passes when you are down a WR, a couple of TEs and defense is having to deal with back up players in the secondary is just silly.
It appears McVay will not learn this lesson....

They didn’t run well at all in the second half. What were six yard runs in the first half went for one and their were multiple times runners were stuffed and/or lost two yards.

Yep, the defense changed their look.
There are various ways to run the ball and out of various sets.
He just totally abandoned it, as usual.
Im sure he is seeing potential mismatches in the passing game based on what the defense is running, but, he allows himself to become one dimensional.
Whatever.
The pass rush largely invisible again and losing Watson is going to be an ongoing problem.
Also, going from giving up 0 TDs in the previous six quarters to 30 points (23 really, minus the pick six) in the last two is just defensive collapse.

Kicking far isn't his issue.
Kicking correctly for the coverage is apparently.
The TD on top punt return last year vs Seattle was him kicking the opposite direction the coverage was designed.
Its amazing this team continues to struggle with this.

McVay always wants balance and to force the D to defend the whole field. The actual problem is, I think, that the stuffs were predictable. If I knew they were coming, I assume the Broncos did as well.
