Ask XConsistent theme: Scott Wells and Davin Joseph are the worst players on the field for the rams. Why are they still starting?
Please don't what? Be realistic?Please don't. This is a vent thread. I was at the game - the only game I could afford this year - and I stayed until it ended. I have every right to vent my feelings.
Slow starts and bad finishes are the mark of a bad team. We're better than the pre-Fisher days but we had nowhere to go but up. I can't say we're better than we were two years ago. And that is disappointing. ?I think this game is exactly what was needed going into the offseason. The Rams were getting way too complacent about a lot of things and seemed to be buying the hype of just being a QB away from the playoffs. The offseason list isn't just QB and OL. Lots more was exposed. Dunbar's whiff on 3rd and 1 is a painful reminder that the LB situation is a joke. When Gaines went out the whole secondary crumbled. The "real" McCleod came back, responsible for his own obvious mistakes and a lot of the blown deep coverages, and Barron was just embarrassing trying to play the deep coverage. The Rams must get a real free safety if Joyner's not the answer. And Tru with the game on the line and the entire world knowing the guy is gonna run a slant just sits there with no inside-out technique? Turrible. There was no sync between the front 7 and the secondary and GW just mindlessly kept calling blitzes that were getting no pressure and no coverage. They disintegrated into a bunch of individuals with their own agendas instead of a team, where was C.Long, or JL, or any leader stepping up?
So yeah, no more "hey if only they didn't start the season slow" talk. The Rams are right back to they were when they were 1-4. That's the starting point to improve over the offseason, and they better be playing like a playoff team game 1 of next year, no more do-over seasons.
Agreed! It seems like, in each loss, it comes down to just a couple of plays, Takeaway two catches by "Big Mouth" Bechman and we win!For the last 10 years, I've been over-hyping our players knowing deep down they weren't as good as i thought. This year was different. I believe we have the talent. We're a QB and a few OL's away... That's doable!
Am I wrong? I'm sick of this type of loss.
If your referring to when the Ram player, who jumped over the line and blocked the Kick, are you sure that was Bates!? I thought it was another player!Hell of a block by Bates. Jumped over the center and then blocked it.

This is the most confounding part to me.I think we have to ask a question that we may not want to hear the answer. Is it possible we're not as as good as we thought? Maybe we still have a long way to be a playoff contender?
The last two games did not look like a team that is on the cusp of ascending. In fact, its likely our record will say we're worse than Fisher's first two seasons.
You Missed the Brawl!?! No wonder we lost the Fight!!!:eekn)Didn't see the game(first one i've missed all year i think).
13 carries for Mason? Destroyed again in TOP....go figure.
3 turnovers
Defense? What happened?
Horrible loss. Maybe some overconfidence? Dunno. crappy loss.
With over 2 minutes to go, and given our field position, we could have made a game of it had Wells not 'thrown-the-ball-away!' But you absolutely right about were the pressure seems to come from!!What is it like one bad snap per game? We were already going to lose, but that is completely unacceptable.
And it sure seems like most of the pressure comes from the middle-right side of the offensive line.
The Rams are totally undisciplined. Their game plan was to get Beckham out of the game with cheap shots. When it didn't work, the Rams folded. He was too good for the "I can't breathe gang" The Rams have loyal fans but if I were one of them I would wear a tee shirt that said, "I can't watch."
