It's dismissing it out of convenience, but there is no better explanation for them playing their worst game of the season after tanking a game intentionally. The theory that said it was the right thing to do held that the Rams would be fresher and sharper than a battle weary Falcons team. But the evidence in plain view last night was that it was the Falcons that were more ready to play than the Rams. So the theory that supported the tank was demonstrably wrong. The theory that the intentional tank could disrupt a young team's continuity appears to very much be supported by what we saw last night.
And the reason the Rams lost is because they were outscored 13-3 in the second half and Cooper did nothing in the second half that hurt them. The allegedly better rested and healthier team got their butts handed to them even more as the game wore on rather than the wearing down working the other way around. That's why they lost.
Resting doesn't explain how Atlanta had a perfect game plan for our O. Resting doesn't explain how Atlanta was great at open field tackling. Resting doesn't explain how the Atlanta DB's made great pass defenses. (Trufant is a hell of good player). Maybe...just maybe, there were other reasons we lost too. Turnover's?? Loss of Brockers?? Better game plan than us?? Cooper played last week and was one of worst players this week.
We got outplayed IMO. Simple as that. Tired of hearing the resting excuse. I guess that means all the teams with byes will lose next week due to not playing this week? We shall see.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
