Knowing McVay - it will probably be a very light criticism of the referees.I wish I could see/hear the note/conversation/recording that McVay sends the league office this week about the officiating
Yep. Our interior seemed like more of an obstacle for our backs than anything.I saw all of the interior including Dedich pushed back often yesterday. The backs usually had success to the outside or cutting back.
Oh, The False Start Special? Not sure they make it to the SB last year without it.I still ain't over this shit yet. The butt shove should be illegal, yadayadayada, but we lost the fucking game due to attempting 6 goddamn field goals, and 2 of them, well, fuck it, sucked. Put the damn ball in the end zone and we win going away.
I was pretty sure the holding started then, cause I have never seen the Rams DL so bunched up, I was like there had to be holding but couldn't confirm.I've seen comments about how Shula went into a "soft" or prevent defense when the Rams went up 26-7. At that point, isn't the defense supposed to "pin their ears back and harass the QB" for the remainder of the game? Instead we made Hurts and AJ Brown and Smith look like all stars. WTF happened? I don't know. But losing Witherspoon and Dotson absolutely killed us. Then all-pro Lane Johnson goes out and the Rams D-line starts feasting. After getting abused, the Eagles sub tackle gets pulled and the third-string guy looks like an all-pro. How could Verse or Young not feasted on that guy? Anyway... I''m just starting to get over it. Keep in mind, however, that the Rams will get better after this. They knew they had dominated the Eagles and they blew it. It won't happen again!! These young guys will learn from this.
It wasn't prevent as much as it was soft zone.I wonder who made the call to go to a prevent defense. I would think the DC would have the say but it's like why make the call to do it so damn early when you were owning them doing what you were doing. I just don't get it. They were attacking the backup tackle effectively and it was like oh we kicked a bunch of field goals, we got this. I am not sure how they thought the reigning SB champs would be beaten by FGs.
AS soon as the switch happened, I knew they were going to march down the field and most likely catch up. I just did not see us getting lucky. I said that in hope that I'd be wrong.

Maybe but I bet it is in a professional manner.Privately to the league office? I bet he will eviscerate them
It was a total team fail. Stafford had how many chances to put a knife in them with a TD drive and answer in the second half but he was busy shitting his pants. Whole team got iced. It's just like the way the Shitters had us mentally over the barrell prior to the NFCCG in our title season.I've seen comments about how Shula went into a "soft" or prevent defense when the Rams went up 26-7.
