I wouldn't say our offense was "magnificent." They played well but IMO they left points on the board.
They had the opportunity to hang 45 themselves on NO. They didn't.
Is 35 points really enough nowadays? There is unprecedented scoring this year. Offenses are better than ever.
Against high scoring teams, the Rams may need to put up 40 like the Saints, KC, and NE have been doing.
These teams are averaging 35+ so if we expect to win, the offense must go in with the mentality that they need to put up 45.
On second thought, this isn't a nitpick. This is a big freakin deal. In today's NFL climate, there is only one good defense: the Ravens.
Would “extremely well” suit you better, dz? Lol.
Rams only punted 3 times.
Overcame a 21 point deficit.
Put up 35 points in 25 minutes TOP.
All in the Superdome, a notoriously difficult venue for visitors.
My point was that the O certainly wasn’t the reason for the L yesterday. So yeah, I call their response under extreme circumstances magnificent.
