Where's the love for...

[RFIP]

...Austin Pettis?

THAT dude was $$$$$ today!

Seems he gets kicked to the curb at every turn but he is a pro's pro!

he was HUGE today!

Never fell out of love.

He is what I thought he was. A reliable clutch receiver who has a role on this team.

 

[Lesson]

Before opening this thread, I had a feeling that this would be about Pettis. Yeah, he tends to get overlooked, but he played great today. He did his job and shouldn't lose a roster spot when Bailey returns.

 

[ChrisW]

I think he'll fall into place now that Quick is coming on. He's doing what he should do.

 

[MTRamsFan]

Agreed. He made a huge play knowing he was going to get drilled. He may not be the flashiest guy on the field but he does produce when he gets the chance.

My game balls go to:

Offense - Davis
Defense - McDonald
Special Teams - Zuerlein and McDonald.
Special Effort Game Ball - Pettis

 

[SierraRam]

Would we have seen him if Tavon doesn't get hurt? Would we convert on that crucial play he made? I've always liked Pettis, but we're just deep at WR now - I still would keep him over Givens if it came down to it...

Pettis always makes the tough, clutch catch when it counts.

Great big, catch by Pettis today.
Frankly the team will benefit with him in and Austin out in the short term.
Davis played a nice game but Hill is a better QB.
O line was better but not great. Quick with another solid game.
Run defense is hit and miss,
6 yards a carry. Pretty unimpressed with Williams so far.

Deep at wideout? Calm down there guy

Agree on Williams.

Pettis stepped up big today. Several clutch catches including the big one on the winning FG drive.

[DaveFan'51]

pettis did real, and so did the other 8 receivers Davis Hit!

That was harsh -

My point: Pettis doesn't get snaps because we're deeper at WR than before. I'm in too good a mood to blast ya, so I won't, "guy"

 

[RamGal]

If the top 5 Wr on the Rams are Britt, Quick, Austin, Bailey, and Pettis, then, yes, the Rams ARE deep in the position.

That catch gave me a full hard-on.

Fair enough

 

[blackbart]

I was happy to see him get in there and produce today. I think he has kind of gotten the shaft a little with the "new toys" who have not really contributed much Pettis is reliable and makes the clutch plays. I'll take him over Givens any day and unless TA starts putting up some numbers (assuming he isn't hurt again) Pettis is more valuable.

 

[MarkMyWords]

There's a reason he was in the game near the end instead of Givens (other than TA being hurt.). He also was back for punt returns (as long as he remembers to call for a fair catch when needed.)

 

[A55VA6]

He always finds his way in close games to make important plays. That's why he's on this roster.

My game ball goes to all the guys on the team for a Gutsy performance....wins on the road are never pretty....much much tougher
