WILDCARD: Falcons at Rams

[Antonius]

Turn the ball over, don't score touchdowns, don't get stops on defense. Recipe for failure. Good regular season though.

 

[Merlin]

Still think the loss of Brockers killed the defense. Can't spot teams points and field position early with a young team.

And this will be a big growth game for our young QB too.

 

[JoeBo21]

Good season. Not ready for the bright lights yet. We'll be back.

 

[RAMNATION]

Johnson should have went for the ball

he was slow to recognize the play

 

[jrry32]

0 punts in 2nd half for Atlanta

Losing Brockers killed us. But this was always a shitty match-up. Fucking New Orleans choking screwed us over.

 

[Zodi]

Time of possession is embarrassing. Just pathetic. I had hope the playoffs wouldn't be too big for this team but it has been.

That's the story. That, and the two special teams turnovers leading to two points. Difficult to blame the defense when they've been on the field nearly 40 minutes, opposed to the offenses 18.

 

[OC_Ram]

It was a good season

 

[Merlin]

And this is why I've been saying we need a defensive draft. Rams need help on that side, it's been smoke and mirrors all season.

 

[Mojo Ram]

TOP is 36 min to 18 min. That's a brutal number.
I'll be the first to say that our D needs a bit of a personnel overhaul in the offseason....but you can't blame the D for this loss. No way.

 

[OldSchool]

Turn the ball over, don't score touchdowns, don't get stops on defense. Recipe for failure. Good regular season though.

We got stops early, just didn't respond well enough.

 

[sjm1582002]

Now or never.

 

[NateDawg122]

I hope Cooper and the return team know they ruined this game for us. That and McVay refusing to run the ball until it was too late.

 

[ramsince62]

You guys go cry in your beer I'm ready for Goff to lead a TD drive!

Uh huh, and finish within 6 pts while giving 10 away.....you just can't make mistakes in the playoff's, especially game 1.

 

[Kentuckyrams]

Still proud of this team and season - just not quite there yet. That first quarter was just too much to overcome, combined with Atlanta's offense just dominating this 2nd half.

We have a lot of talent, though, and youth. We'll have an offseason and draft to shore up the run defense, and Goff and the offense will hopefully continue to grow. Tough loss, looks like, but I never expected us to be in the playoffs this quickly. Disappointed in tonight but hopeful about our future for the first time in over a decade!

 

[Spider2YB]

Uh, this dismal performance is squarely on the offense and special teams.

Minus that screen to Sanu, guys have been in place to make plays on defense, and just didn’t. Ogletree and Barron both missed huge tackles, and both had questionable effort on more than one play.

 

[jt13]

defense looked gassed in the 2nd half

 

[96GS#007]

D got tired and then got B*tch slapped

 

[PA Ram]

Is Ogeltree hurt? He' barely moving out there. Not a great game.

 

[Antonius]

We got stops early, just didn't respond well enough.

We didn't get them late unfortunately.
