Vent Thread

[PARAM]

Speaking of defense, the most passing yards the Broncos have allowed in their last 19 regular season games was last night!!!

 

[muggmeister]

Why are we always the least penalized team in the league except when Vaginabit h refs the game.

 

[TheTackle]

We outplayed them so it sucks especially with yet more shit officiating costing us a big game! When do we call it a pattern?

My biggest gripe is some of the play calling. Why are we running that play, at that moment in the game, when Stafford is picked and it changes the momentum? McVay is brilliant, both at design and play calling generally but he still makes some head scratching calls in big moments (see also the QB sneak vs the 49ers, when we were two scores down)

I don’t usually vent, but there it is…

That result was gut wrenching

 

[Flatlyner]

Its fairly obvious that we need to look far and wide for a useful 3rd wideout. We got Whittington back last night and, did anyone even see him? How would Tutu have not been more useful then a useless player? There were many points of the game where I was hoping we had some speed and route running out there. After Ferg went down, we lacked any form of speed.

I'd seriously be calling up the Jags and see what it would take to pry BTJ from them. A change of scenery is needed for him and he's, at best, their 3rd WR. He offers speed and size, a literal perfect 3rd WR for us.

And Forbes as a gunner on special teams?!? Ventrone needs to be on the first bus out. That was actually a massive play/penalty and he never should have been in that position. I mean, outside of Stafford, who on our team might tackle worse?

So numb after watching this team sometimes as you can never relax. I’m getting to the point of disliking special teams immensely & I played on special teams when I played all the time from pop warner to college. Egad

Dude been right all along.

Amongst everything else mentioned, the fact we gave up TWO 2-point conversions was pretty irritating. If we stop just one of those then we would have only needed a FG at the end of the game, and Mevis was hitting everything last night thankfully.

Forbes looked lost out there. Wallace's stock went up though.

That was rough.

 

[Fire Ants]

While I agree the refs were bad, we're ultimately to blame for that loss.

For me, that pick six by Stafford was the killer. That was a throw that you'd expect a rookie QB to make.

My expectations have been lowered for the rest of the season and maybe that's a good thing. I still believe they can be a playoff team. Now everyone needs to get to work!

Meh, as bad of a play as that was by Captain Pick-6, he came right back with a TD throw.

To me, it was X Smith that really blew it. He put the Rams in such bad field position, and with momentum changing...it was really rough for the Rams to dig out of that.

And yes, the refs were horrible.

I find it funny how on page 4, someone notes that Stafford missed a bunch of open receivers, and the very next post states how the Rams WRs (other than the dew stars) don't make plays.

And it's also odd that when the sun goes down, it gets dark.

The refs were so bad they should be arrested. Other than that... I am upset that we can't seem to sack the QB anymore. Where is Aaron Donald and how much time will he need to get back into game shape? What about the other D-linemen? Kobie Turner is the only consistent one. Not sure if Byron Young or Josiah Stewart have any sacks yet this year. Pressure and sacks will have make our entire defense better.

They were great the first half. Maybe the altitude wore them down.

Once I realized wrestling was scripted I stopped watching it. I’m starting to feel that way about the NFL.

Wrestling was scripted????

Offense did nothing to start the second half.
3 plays, 3 yards for first drive.
5 plays for minus 9 yards second drive.
6 plays for 2 yards third drive.
7 plays for 7 yards. Fourth drive.
Offense came out in the 2nd half and just did nothing. Meanwhile the Defense didn't show either. No pass rush.

 

[Rmfnlt]

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.

When you have no accountability for the work you do, most will not give it 100% - they'll get lazy.

In my 60 year career in business, if there were not scorecards on my performance, my jobs would have been gravy!!

So it goes with NFL Referees - no accountability

POS take completely ignoring the elephant herd in the room.

Throw... throw... throw. McVay blew it. Predictability is a sure fire was to lose games in the NFL.

Did you guys not watch teh second half? The running game was not working anywhere near like it had in the first half.

Wallace kept competing and Forbes, well, Washington was right.

You are right, it wasn't. Not sure what happened, now, they did not stick with it because if the Rams only gain a couple of yards on a run, they are going to pass next time. Tough game all the way around, however, for those who felt Mevis was questionable, that 48 yarder that the Rams needed to have late, split the uprights. Was happy for him, but as for Evans, great leg, but at times outkicks his coverage, however, Rams coverage units are just not very good.

Williams was doing well in the game whereas Corum was having a terrible time.

They should have gone with the hot hand and stay with Williams in this game.

I have seen games where we should have stayed with Corum instead of Williams.

Stay with the hot hand.

Bingo!! Williams averaged 5.9 yards per carry!!

Offense did nothing to start the second half.
3 plays, 3 yards for first drive.
5 plays for minus 9 yards second drive.
6 plays for 2 yards third drive.
7 plays for 7 yards. Fourth drive.
Offense came out in the 2nd half and just did nothing. Meanwhile the Defense didn't show either. No pass rush.

3rd quarter, first two drives - remember, they had a 16-0 lead:
Corum up the middle to LA 13 for 3 yards
M.Stafford pass incomplete short left to T.Higbee
M.Stafford pass incomplete short right to D.Adams.
Evans punt
M.Stafford pass short right to D.Adams 6 yards
Stafford pass incomplete deep right to D.Allen
Stafford pass T.Higbee for 5 yards
Stafford sacked at LA 32 for -9 yards
Stafford pass incomplete short right
Stafford pass incomplete deep left to K.Mumpfield [
Evans punts

THIS is what McVay came up with to start the 3rd! 7 pass attempts. 1 run (no Williams) and a sack.

Before you know it, we are tied at 16-16.

That is when I started yelling at the TV!!
