Defense was definitely at its worst today. Second game without Lake and the Panthers made the Rams pay. Carolina looked like absolute dogshit in Monday night vs Niners. Shaky play on defense with terrible tackling along with the three key mistakes by Stafford. He’s a gunslinger and sometimes throws into tight windows but he led the Rams to enough points to win if the defense was even mediocre. Sometimes you get punched in the mouth. Let’s see how this team responds in AZ.

Whether the weather had anything to do with it, I don’t know. Buts it’s just an observation that when there is cold, rain, snow, or a combination of all of the above, the rams fumble, throw picks, and otherwise lose

I can’t remember any game we’ve won with weather involved. Perhaps some cold weathered Vikings games during the fisher years when they played outside. But that’s it

We beat SF last year in bad weather

What happened to our pass rush ?
DB’s get exposed when QB has all day. Who knows how good this team is after that lousy display.
 
It still comes down to beating Seattle.

Bad combo today of can’t stop the run plus Stafford turnovers plus Young hitting critical passes.

Great teams lose to lesser teams on any given Sunday.

I know this is a vent thread but some of you are just insane. We have absolutely been dominating teams for the majority of the season but we play 1 bad game and the sky is falling and the season is over.

Panthers had a great game plan and played well while we came out flat after having huge games the last few weeks. Panthers are a good enough team that if overlooked can beat you like they proved today.

I'm not worried at all. The team needs to move past this game and focus on the Cardinals.
 
A shorter thread title here would have been;

"Young Hungry Panthers Bite Rams in Their Ass".
 
He could have played better, and I’m not here to change your mind. McVay thinks he’s a genius by finding little holes in the pass defense to exploit when it’s just easier to run the ball.

Until it isn’t. A CB makes a good play. A ball doinks off a helmet. The OL has a bad rep and pressure gets home.

If you are given the opportunity to average over 5 yards a carry, that’s a gimme you need to take. Don’t put the team in a bad position by hyping the pass when six DBs are in coverage.
We criticize other QB's and have a whole lot for the same type of interceptions and fumbles. Not gonna give Stafford a free pass when he does the same. Still wouldn't trade him for anybody else. But today is on him.
