What about those 4th and 1 calls? Not too conservative...

I was just going to post that. This makes up for the games we should have won and didn't. This had loss written all over it with their failure to just put one good drive together in the 2nd half to put it away, along with how the run game stalled after the first quarter. Two of three TD drives were short fields and they failed to convert on another short field after an INT.
Funny thing is, I was telling my son after they scored their 2nd TD, that their run game is making them become special. They can always run it isn't seems... then that ended for some reason.
Havenstein also struggled in pass pro today. Can't handle speed rushers. His time is up. Hopefully he can hold it together for another 10 or so games.
I think the idea today with more 11 was that Seattle has the LB’s to matchup better vs our 13 playbook.
Yep! It was a matchup thing. We certainly tried to keep them off balance with 13 but it wasn't effective enough. 11 wasn't great either.
The shitbirds are good - really good.
They blew up several running plays in 13 by just annihilating one of our tight ends. TH89 and KP84 both got blown up a couple times that resulted in negative running plays
Why oh why do the Rams always make us sweat it out? Whew!
Part of it is about matchups. When you use 13, the other team is forced to play more base D with LBs instead of DBs. We can still run effectively with the bigger bodies and the TEs, specifically Ferg, is a mismatch against a LB in the passing game.
If you're in 12, you may not get those mismatches.
No, the D killed it, but it was almost wasted trying to run out the clock with over 8 minutes instead of trying to put them away.

Agreed but honestly the offense was off today and some games will be like that. As long as we win them, its ultimately what matters. Its the NFL, gotta take wins wherever and however you can.
Kinda funny that Harrison Mevis has yet to attempt a field goal.
They can only elevate him from the practice squad one more time.

It is going to be ugly sometimes. That was not only the 2 best teams in the NFC, that was maybe the 2 best defenses in the NFC. A win is a win is a win. An ugly win counts the same in the standings. Go RAMS!!!
Indeed. I was chatting with a sh*tchicken fan friend. I decided that was his new method to not get sacked 9 times. Do the chuck and pray. I was here for it.
Yet I still needed to break out the good whiskey for a prayer at the end of the game. Heres hoping weve learned something for the next round.
I agree with you somewhat in terms of having bad days scoring points. It happens.
IMO there’s no excuse for a Sean McVay team with Stafford at QB to be completely unable to get a first down and burn some clock (play downhill) with a lead in the 4th quarter. We got destroyed in that phase today.
Cheers. It’s a great day in the standings. It’s just a huge weakness of this team. I get it when the Saints and Browns of the world can’t get a first down to close it, but come on man…please make a block and execute a play.
I think that’s where the criticism lies.

Cheers as well. Trust me, I get there is no reason to not be able to burn clock but we were playing another 7-2 team plus making a lot of dumb mental mistakes on our side to assist. I'm just happy we made enough plays overall as a team to win. The Rams definitely need to be better on our jext outing regarding this. Our next opponent has some firepower and may be getting some other weapons back too. For now, lets all enjoy being top of the mountain while hoping Captain Knee Cap's team winning against the Iggles lol
