here is what bothered me the most
Keenum simply doesn't do anything extra. If there is a blitz he doesn't seem to know it. If he is not pressured it doesn't matter he still dumps the ball off and he normally stares down that first option. He plays scared. He missed some wide open plays for sure. In my section people were grumbling about him because from the stands you can really see people running open. Understand that Britt and Quick were running some deep routes wide open but Keenum never even considered getting them the ball.
Now that being said... he made a few plays and resembled the Keenum we saw at the end of last season rather than the one we saw on Monday night in SF. The more I see of Keenum the less I believe that having him as the QB really benefits this team all that much. Maybe next week he plays even better? But I have my doubts.
Fisher seems too comfortable with Keenum and I think that's a problem

Keenum made some good passes.
But he also BADLY missed some very open WRs.
And, of course, some WRs mishandled the ball; a couple of times when the pass was routine, a couple of times when the catch would have been difficult, but the top NFL WRs probably would have come away with a catch.
Keenum, for the most part, had good protection. Seattle was very aggressive with their pass rush and blitzes and they have very good players to do that. So it's not like the Rams oline were playing the sisters of mercy.
What bothered me most was a couple of sacks he took that were simply not necessary; in fact, they were quite detrimental and he absolutely should have, and could have, thrown the ball away.......bad judgment.
GRob had a good game. One of the holding calls went beyond ticky tack; it was simply a bad call. But it happens.
Our interior oline did OK. Barnes got smoked once, but clearly the guy anticipated the snap and got a little lucky. I think some of that was on Keenum for getting the snap count too consistent.
I have hope for our oline, and Havenstein is clearly rounding back into form. I love it that we have real competition at the Guard position.
OT scares me to death. Apparently our 3rd OT is a rookie?
