What did you learn from week 11?

[JIMERAMS]

Our safety’s are struggling

 

[tempests]

I learned a DT can not only be a runaway contender for Defensive Player of the Year, and become the first Ram to win the Deacon Jones trophy.......

But a DT can also be considered a threat to the NFL single season sack record. Donald needs 8.5 sacks in the last five games of the season to break Strahan's mark. He has 10.5 sacks in his last 5 games and five games with at least two sacks on the season.

AD99 is the NFL MVP. Although the league would never give it to him.

 

[Pape]

But thats 6 games we held them under 30

and look who the 30 allowed were against

i know, this is a pessimistic response
look who we kept under 30...

i know the league has tilted the playing field to the O... but still i expected much more with the defensive front the rams are sporting... and yeah, i know i know its not the dline that the real issue...

 

[hotanez]

I guess nobody's perfect...but. McVay is damn close!

the job McVay has done with our team is unbelievable. I just wish when, we have the lead, we would try to control the clock.

 

[den-the-coach]

That Gerald Everett is trying to look like Denzel Washington in Malcolm X.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Bad game management by McVay. Our coach still gets pass happy to much. Hope Gurley is ok. Red Zone offense needs to be better

I don't think it's bad game management at times like the last drive yes he was pass happy buy for most of the game KC was selling out to stop the run and he made em pay with passing

 

[wmc540]

The best coaching decision was not ruining Marcus Peters' confidence by putting him on Hill. Sam Shields took one for the team.

yeah so we disagree

 

[Big Game]

I thought Gurley might've been dinged up too, but that last big run he trucked a defender so I think he's good to go. No worries
I do think he was taken out early in the game though to "walk it off" after that near horse-collar tackle. So glad we have Brown to fill in capably.

i think the game plan was to attack them downfield they picked on there corners all night. But McVay has to remember 30 is the closer and should close out our games.

You could even make the argument that a DT is worthy of the the NFL MVP (I know, it's become an award for the QB of the team with the best record mostly, but a guy who still appreciates defense can dream). Aaron Donald allows the defense to be aggressive, and he is an absolute GAME-WRECKER. I don't think the Rams are 10-1 without him.

I’d be more worried if we didn’t keep the teams under 30 that we did

Saints have been putting points up on everyone
Ditto for the chiefs
And the Seahawks are always play us close
That leaves minny who are pretty much feast or famine

Another takeaway is that the points started being scored on us when Talib went out I think we have to accept that some teams are going to score on us but we are going to score more

Plus momentum is so important in the NFL. Who knows what direction the Vikings season would have went if they won the game against the Rams? This was a superbowl contender last year that was derailed by a few early losses/tie.

 

[Bootleg]

I learned that Goff can handle adversity.... especially when Andy Reid yells at him.

Someone needs to gif this and Andy Reid arguing about the peace sign with the refs.

 

[OregonRamsFan]

I learned that MNF offers little cheerleader coverage, and that is a shame. Alas, cheerleader coverage across the board has declined over the years. What gives? Lol.

 

[nighttrain]

54 points aint as much as it used to be!

train

 

[99Balloons]

I learned that with the acquisition of Dante Fowler, he frees up the other side for Samson Ebukam to play one-on-one against the opposition's tackle and be the beast of a DE.

We got our edge rushers on both ends for the long haul.

 

[shaunpinney]

11 games in
5 games the defense has allowed more than 30
Thats not good.

But we still outscored 5 of them

I'm with you on that Mine game, if they'd have beaten us the W/L records of both teams could be very different - I think when you play lights out like the Rams and Vikings did in that game to come up second best can really derail your confidence going forward and vice versa to the winners. The same with this game last night, it could knock Mahomes confidence moving forward, 3 INTs 2 D scores against them, that's where the game was won and lost if you ask me.
