the whole game just felt out of sync for the Rams...odd.

I was watching with Alyo and we were talking about feeling so ...odd...(from the weird Ref delays to Watkins running 3yds on 3rd & 5, etc)....over the way the game was starting and into the 3rd Qtr. I think what we saw on defense was lotsa rust & just the fact that Quinn, Barron, AD, etc had not played much together in the PS...and there looked to be real confusion on defense at times.

The offense just seemed off sans a few big plays(Everett, Kupps lunging catch at the 1yd line...and TG playing superbly in the passing game, etc). Everything just seemed off. I really think McVay & Wade were schemed against very well along with bad plays by some of our players. What the heck was up with Woods that last drive??? LOL Drops/penalties all by his lonesome!! Anyway, I expect some days will be like that. Pats had one of those days Week 1, btw. Sometimes yer the windshield...sometimes yer the bug!

notes & things I think I think.....
***I think we need to defer if we win the toss. The offense & Goff are still new and getting rythym in this offense and I felt last qweek and this week there was jitters and a lack of sureness for the 1st few drives.

***Odd playcalling too sometimes...especially when we were at the 2yd line and were in shotgun with TG at Goff's left...I wigged out and screamed get under center and use dble TEs and run it or PA out of it....they called TO..and did just that to my great relief.

** With all that went wrong...it was still a game within reach in a way that was non-existent from a decade before. We have an OFFENSE now. They're young, but we have talent and they just need reps to settle down. But the game WAS entertaining and not a 10-7 type defensive struggle that we have been used to in the past.

*** Watkins needs to be thrown to more and they need to run level routes...and push that intermediate 15yd Dig route a bit more. imo....that will open up the running game & short passes, the deeper stuff(comebacks & deep outs, etc) and get us more explosives. Again, the offense & defense just seemed a tad lost for the first half....and the runs were what gave Wash the win. They ran on us which opened up the passing game when they wanted it.


I'm just sayin I think McVay and our defense are still getting their sea legs in these schemes.
