the loss of Adams, Alaric and Lake is being felt.

Then Stafford pulls a hat trick in the same game he misses open WRs.

The refs were terrible in this game, missing PI and helmet thrown off Poona but calling a ghost holding on Humphries to erase a TD.

But what really pisses me off, since this is a vent thread, is our passive defense that rarely blitzes or changes to man coverage. But biggest issue of all is having no answer to the over the middle throw. Our defensive scheme sucks. Put some extra guys in the middle of the damn field.
 
And apparently Stafford giving them the ball repeatedly even for a TD is the defenses fault we lost tonight.
Stafford gets a game ball forvthe loss...missing smith at the end of the game was sam darnold prime

However thats two weeks in a row the defense lets the other team march down for a loss.

They share the blame as well

wish that were so....

Not HUGE implications but...

A Falcons loss could have moved them up in draft order, instead the win moves the ATL pick down to #12, behind #11 Miami...

And of course the rams no longer control their destiny for the #5 seed, now they need some help to move up to #5...

A disappointing loss...

Only hope is to fuel more anger for the Rams playoff run.
seed is still tbd...one draft pick.up or down isnt that dramatic

This game was meanigless for the seed i read somewhere

Only arizona game matters
 
Three turnovers, one a pick six. Stopped on downs on the 11. Long pass to Puka for first and goal on the four called back for an illegal formation. Missing a wide open Smith for game winning TD. Change any one of these Rams win. One could also point out 4-5 odd plays in every loss. Not multiple plays to go the other way, just ONE in each game. It will be impossible to win in the playoffs with this type of play. If they can eliminate 5-10% of their poor execution they will be ok.
 
Crazy thing is Maye is now favored by draftkings to win the MVP.

Going to be hard to argue against Maye who did everything without a Puka or Davante.

Without the MVP, Stafford's hall of fame bid is in Jeopardy. Going to need that 2nd Super Bowl win most likely.

This is why I have been saying health is the biggest concern right now. Seeding don't matter.

If you have Alaric, Adams and Lake we are the best team in Football. Without them we looked like we did tonight.

Oddly enough your first three sentences could go in the positivity thread if followed up by "and they didn't get blown out.":biggrin:
 
Refs actually suck and anybody defending them just baffle me.

No issue with that call. You can call holding on every single play and DJ pulled him back and down. Could they have ignored it like they so often do.....yup.

The only thing you can ask of a ref is consistency. If he calls that holding, he should call it every time no matter who is doing it. We don't see consistency in the NFL at all.
