Our defense did not look good all night long. Cousins was shredding us. It was painfully clear that Peters was not 100% and he probably shouldn't have even played. But when we had the 7 point lead and they took possession with what, 2.5 minutes left I thought for sure they were going to tie the game up. But no...AD gets that critical sack and then Meyers causes the fumble that Suh recovers.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 QuoteSaguaro You can't just add all the missed opportunities to the actual total. For instance, if Goff doesn't throw the int, maybe that drive ends in a TD. Maybe not. But then you wouldn't get the blocked punt for a TD immediately thereafter. Gotta rein it in a little when you're toting up all those imaginary points. You are correct, Sag.

I think the Vikes are gonna come to play and maybe get an early lead on us. Cousins is going to pick on Troy Hill and have success. I think Wade will dial up some more blitzes as a result and put a stop to that. But, we will be trailing by then. Second half - we come out guns-a-blazing and take the lead and hold it in a nail biter.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro I had this discussion with people near the end of last season. Strategically, I believe a great team (and the Rams are great) needs to look beyond JUST winning the division. HFA is CRUCIAL to playoff success. Without it, a division title is just kind of like a participation trophy. So, yeah, we need to win this game. And, by the way, winning this game HELPS to win thby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemoklerman Quotezn Quotemoklerman Quotezn Quotemoklerman Quotezn Quotemoklerman Does anyone know why the NFL is crediting the Rams with a sack on that play where Rivers took the snap, pitched it to a receiver who pitched it to Allen, who slowed, looked to pass, then pulled it down and tried to run? Why would it be a sack when the player wasn't a QB, didn't take the snap and on an option? Shby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Warning: These are REALLY outside the box. Lol. Release Ficken. Let Hekker handle kickoff and PAT duties, or just go for 2 points every time. I’m serious.

I saw some of that KC game and Sammy looked pretty good and got a TD. Cooks had more catches and yards but did not get into the end zone, although he got pretty close. Here's how they compare after 3 games.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
I've gotta say I believe that was the best game of Goff's young career. He was throwing DIMES. I've never seen him so accurate. That high throw (on purpose) to Higbee. That throw on the run to Kupp that resulted in a TD, and many more. Man he was fun to watch.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills The TE is the primary He didn’t draft Everett to not target him. Currently the Rams have yet to show any of their TE packages or formations for that matter I think it’s naive of many of you to think McVay doesn’t have that up his sleeve I talked to Tory Holt on NFL radio today and he agreed with me and he also said that prior to the injury the Rams defense could not coveby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams face the toughest D so far this season, keeping them to under 30 as they get acclimated for the tougher D in their next game. Rivers never gives up and puts 20 on the board against our D. Rams 27 - Tenants 20.by RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com
Speaking of the play book, did you guys see that one of the teams on Monday night (I forget which one), used that very same jet sweep play that McVay unveiled in the first game?

That call on Matthews was ridiculous. There is a difference in how he went down and how I've seen other defenders take down QBs in the past. I've seen (and I'm sure you all have too) defenders literally pile-drive QBs into the ground and purposely land all of their weight on them. It's those kinds of sacks that should get penalized as it's clear they are trying to hurt the QB. But those likby RamsFanSinceLA - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSuh-weet! Yes, NFL players are very well compensated relative to most of the rest of us - which doesn't make the division of benefits and burdens between the players and owners remotely fair.

Quotealyoshamucci First, before anything ... I want to give a shout out to Shaq Griffin ... who had more INTs than hands on Monday night football.

I appreciate the post Eternal. Like I posted after week 1, this is not meant to start a Cooks vs Watkins war.
