Quality playoff teams can do several things.
They can run the ball and minimize the other team’s running.
They can pass the ball and reduce the passing of the other team.
They can score via run or pass and restrict the other team’s ability to do so.
Or not.
Now...
Can the Rams do what’s required? Or not? Let’s don’t kid ourselves. We’re playing a stretch vs some playoff bound teams. And, frankly, we didn’t do at all well vs the Vikings.
It’s gut check time. Are we contenders or are we pretenders?
This is NOT the time for McVay to get conservative. I can far better accept losses if I see that we go down with our guns blazing. We need to let it all hang out, Coach!
