That’s just the title.

I’m just asking WHY on 3rd down YOU KICK a FG ?? It’s RISK va. REWARD

He made a judgment call. It didn’t work.

It was weird seeing jonnu Smith running across the field with the ball in his hands and Speights just standing there watching him.

22.5 hours since game ended and I think you guys have said all that needs to be said about this game.

Time to right the ship in New England

Has this been said on the board? I am catching up… Mike McDaniel was with the 49’ers 5 years with McVay as our HC. He came in to this with a solid game plan and that familiarity certainly helped.

16. And, make no mistake… absent a Top 5 pick in the draft (and probably not even with one of those selections), the best starting QB option for the Rams in 2025 is Matthew Stafford. It's not even a close question.

Click to expand...

This is not really correcting anything, just adding thoughts…

I think the demise of Stafford is over reacting talk, at least at this point.

AvengerRam said:

Tre’Davious White was a reasonable bargain-basement gamble, but it didn’t pay off. Next year, we need to use premium capital (FA$ or draft pick) on the position.

I love this gamble. He turned out to be healthy. Just a step too slow in this D.

AvengerRam said:

10. While I have not given up on this season (don’t forget, we were 3-6 last year at this point), I am taking a long-term view of this team, and I there is a lot to be optimistic about.

Click to expand...

Agree.

AvengerRam said:

11. The defense is really starting to come together under Chris Shula. I think he’s only going to improve with experience.

Click to expand...

It’s been fun to watch the growth.

AvengerRam said:

17. I’d like to see a bit more of Blake Corum in the second half of the season.

Click to expand...

Ditto.

I was more shocked at how bad those OL played. And then the coaching staff continuing to play said sucky OL. Bad decision making all around

LouisvilleRam said:

I know but one you lose yardage the other you don't but I guess best case scenario you can intercept a batted pass

Click to expand...

I get you, just repeating what Shula said according to Aikman. It was specifically with the context of Tua as the QB.

The problem with taking a pic with Whit is (regardless of your size) you are going to look small next to him. Lol

YEAH, makes you look like a kid.

Looks like the Logan Bruss era is over
Mebbe he gets signed to the PS but I kinda doubt it.
His was a compelling story of a comeback from a horrific injury but, in the end, it was apparent that he didn't have the talent to play at a high enough level.
God's speed to him in his future endeavors.

I'd be surprised if he didnt end up back on the Rams PS
Wasnt he working at OT in the off/pre-season?

I think Kyle Murray has matured a bit this season and is playing smarter football.

Or the AZ HC Gannon took away his XBox

He has had some highlights.....but overall I don't think its been great.

Maybe its an issue with our coverage, but his average, fair catches and net are all pretty low...so its not like he's punting shorter and higher to inspire more fair catches

He looks like he's making that adjustment to the NFL. Seemed similar to his early film at Florida St where he took a little while to get rolling vs the higher competition. But he definitely belongs. And he's already a stud rusher as an interior lineman, just needs to keep improving vs the run.

Seems like there's a chance we found 2 difference makers on defense in that draft. Crazy.

dang said:

I’m wondering if there’s a conscious trend by refs to go light on defensive penalties at end of games. I’m seeing a lot of no calls (defensive holding , face masking, QBs hit low, etc).

Click to expand...

Perhaps, but there are two factors during tight stretches that can impact calls:

1. You will be criticized if you call or don’t call it. If you make a call, make it big and obvious. Even officials do not want to decide the game like the idiot who called pass interference against D Will in Buffalo.

2. There’s a lot of stress and pressure on officials, crowd noise, coaches yelling, etc. at the end of the game. Those distractions could lead to a missed call that would be made in normal circumstances.

Not Ward's best game but still betting on him to be the first pick.

Bengals could have also been called for holding on that play, possibly twice. The RT for sure, and it looks like the center was pulling the defender down with him.

Much easier call on the center. You can’t drag the player on top of you. Though I’m usually on the defensive side of the ball so it’s really obvious. On the tackle, it’s a 50-50 call and maybe that’s why the flank official didn’t call it.

There was no holding or significant restriction on either receiver. 88 hooks the defender, feigning a hold. Yeah, here’s your Emmy, great job by the official to keep his flag in the holster.

On 87, the waist grab happens as the ball arrives.

The only two legitimate fouls I saw were the hold on the center and the roughing the QB. Penalties offset, retry the try.

I encourage anyone to read the roller coaster of emotions in this thread start to finish. I love the passion this forum has for the Rams but Id like to see a little more patience with what McVay and his coaching staff are trying to achieve with this VERY young team.

TexasRam said:

Nice catch Allen.

The dude had what - 4 game changing plays in that game.?Definitely deserving of the player of the week award he got.

He really is exactly as advertised in his pre draft scouting report. Great instincts and play making ability along with big hit tackler when he wraps.

I believe he has only 4.65 speed ao not a perfect specimen. But he sure does have the game changing ability. I think he had 11 interceptions coming out but someone can fact check me.

Hopefully Tyreek hill doesn’t run past him for 3TDs thus week.

Looked pretty speedy to me running back that pick 6.
