Short and sweet. Here's Rainram...
Countess' offsides gave them points
Austin's fumble gave them points
Quinn's offsides have them points
Cooper's fumble gave them points
That was 20-24 points that was easily preventable! Two games in a row of poor discipline.
I won't mention referee mistakes because that went both ways.
Our secondary and LBers played poorly. Period. Hoyer was only average, but give credit where it's due, Garçon and Goodwin made a few really good catches!!
I'm not sure what the Niner boards are like right now, but there were a lot of parallels for both teams tonight. From questionable penalties, to untimely drops, to injured players. Both teams got gritty, we just managed to hang on for the win.
Can't make mistakes boys!
A stupid and ill-timed offsides penalty in itself didn't doom the defense to give up a 60+-yd TD drive after that. Whatever the circumstances of the D taking the field, the aim is not to give up yards. If you give up yards, don't give up points. If you yield points, make it 3, not 6-8. More often than not, the Rams' D gave up TDs. Happily, 5/7 times our O was scoring TDs rather than FGs too.
