Our "Special Teams" these last 3 games are making me wish for the days when our punter was the best player on the field.

Maybe but the Texans still put up over 40 on the ravens.
Im talking about the big picture. I’ve been watching for 45 years. This modern NFL feels like there are more upset/surprise wins and far more close games. I need to dig up some numbers and trends to back up my point.

The argument against will be that there just more parity now then there was in the 70’s 80’s 90’s etc. Thing is, both can be true.

Officiating is driven by trying to discourage blowouts and as a result viewer disinterest. The viewer being the casual fan, not you and me.
 
Hopefully someone reminds McVay that the Texans, before their game vs the Ravens were averaging 16 ppg and put up 41 on this defense.
 
It seems like our two biggest issues this year are the terrible problems with FGs and the ineffective play in the red zone. Fixing the latter would help the former. I would like to see us invest some off-season capital in the interior line. being able to run the ball inside the twenty would keep us from getting there and just going pass-pass-pass in a shortened field.

If we were better than 20 something in the red zone this team would easily be 5-0.
 
There was no flag thrown on that fumbled punt by the crows. Meaning... no ref in the stadium threw a flag.

Why do you think the refs were searching through the pile to see who recovered the ball. All of them. Then... after the possession was signaled our way, suddenly the head ref gets on his mic to announce a penalty. That shit was called in from someone outside of that stadium.
 
So my local station listed the Rams/Ravens game to be aired here. But they aired the Cowboys/Panthers game. Which probably confused the Sunday Ticket thinking I'd be getting the Rams game locally. I kept checking and after the first quarter my local station switching to the Rams game. So it was the local station that screwed things up.

Agreed. It was always a given seeing a blowout in the Super Bowl. Now they all seem to be close in the last couple decades.
 
what a great goal line stand. Every now and then, the Rams D does something that just amazes me. I hope this gets the Offense moving. We need this team to stop shooting itself in the foot.
