but when your

Offense settles for FGs rather than TDs when operating inside the opponents 35 and don't score from inside the 20 against one of the NFLs worst defenses that counts. Goff's int before the half cost us and led directly to 7 points. The Saints quickly scored to make the score 35-14

Zuerline made a 56 yard FG... but what if he hadn't missed that 51 yarder before that one?

The Rams defense played poorly for a half and then gave up the big play at the end... in between the recovered nicely... enough to allow the Rams offense to get back in it

Its what happened... if the Rams defense doesn't stiffen its over. As a team they simply didn't do enough.

I understand other's will disagree but the loss in this particular game weighs most heavily on the D - "A Team Loss" doesn't accurately portray what took place yesterday, IMHO.

Speed, Speed, Speed...

As Jimmy succinctly pointed out, the Ram D allowed 35 points in the first HALF!

That is not a misprint.

I rest my case.

7 of those points I'd put 90% on Goff with the INT in Rams territory near the RZ.

At the very least that's 3 points on the offense b/c the Saints could have knelt three times and kicked a FG at the spot of the turnover.

That TO was huge. Us getting zero - 0!!! - in an identical situation was just as huge!

The case should be reopened!
