So I’m in the camp of agreeing 100% with going for it. I’m also in agreement with a run since it was only 1 yard to 1st down. I just think they picked the wrong gap to run to as it looked like the defense was clearly geared towards an outside in attack with intent of clogging the middle. Motion Nacua or Whit and running off Ajax may have produced better results for picking up 1+ yards.

That is what worries me. This should been a W.
really after all these years we don't have a redzone solution. anyone here think the rams can score in the red zone to the point of at least we get 3? I don't. that's an issue.
Yes Sean, we're all sick of that play call. When you line up and show the formation and the very obvious play multiple times after timeouts, change the fucking play! He telegraphed what we were going to do to the defense multiple times over and it rightfully so got stuffed. That play call has been getting picked apart by all the talking heads, it was such a pathetic call that he had full control to change multiple times.
I try not to criticize going for it and not making it, because I don't want to criticize going for it and making it. If you don't like the decision that's fine, but I don't care for the cherry picking aspect of all that.
When your team goes for it I am of the mind that good fanhood requires an adult mindset that accepts the potential failure.
There is that.
OTOH - my emotions won't be over it for a few more days, apparently.....
Pre-game you got the huge spread.... much of the chater is the rams are good enough to win... then this egg gets laid.
Makes me seriously wonder.
Yeah don't get me wrong... I am fucking livid still. Gonna be pissed until we beat these fucks later this year. If we can beat them which who knows.
Lotta folks railing on McVay for that call, but the Rams were successful running the ball on a similar play on a 4th down earlier in the game.
We’re all ok with THAT call, right?
If we can’t get ONE LOUSY YARD to win a game…
The Rams made so many mistakes in that game. That play was just one of the many times they failed to execute:
They make an extra point and the last FG is for the game, not a tie. KW doesn’t cough up the ball at the 1 yard line and that game is over. Those two irk me more than that last play (which I presumed would fail, no matter what the call).
This is so spot on.
The Philly game should have been a wakeup call.
Hell, the Colts game should have been a wakeup call despite the fact that we won, given how bad the play was for long stretches of the game.
Now this is another wakeup call.
How many times will McVay hit the snooze button?
