I didn't like it. So..if that means I think it was bad...I guess.

I think there were better strategies available based on what they did.

They could have run on second and third downs guaranteeing at a minimum that they had no time outs. After first down, they needed what...5 yards? That's not impossible...it's not like 2nd and 8 and trying to run for a first down.

They could have throw a ball past the first down marker...all you need to do is catch it to have the first down.

I said I didn't have an issue passing...the issue for me was the types of passing plays called. They were like run options to me.

And, since his strategy didn't work, it pretty convenient to call it into question.

And...arm chair quarterbacking has been in existence since football showed up on TV...so this is what happens.

PHDram156November 20, 2018 11:57AM

  But...the plays called were head scratchers...

jemach129November 20, 2018 01:29PM

  the false start to start the drive was a killer....

  Once again...it wasn't passing that was the issue....for me...

PHDram246November 20, 2018 03:14PM

  Yup. The ONLY real problem I have with those plays....

Suh-weet!142November 20, 2018 03:35PM

  Idiotic play calling

reggae142November 20, 2018 01:36PM

  But if you go back and look at the plays called after 1st down...

jemach163November 20, 2018 01:45PM

  You want quick, short passes...

Saguaro158November 20, 2018 02:02PM

  Weren't the formations tight?

jemach127November 20, 2018 02:07PM

  Disagree

Suh-weet!120November 20, 2018 03:39PM

  You can't say we would definitely have gotten stonewalled...

jemach139November 21, 2018 05:26AM

  they were throwing to that big receiver on 2nd down

21Dog346November 21, 2018 05:39AM

  That's exactly the point

Suh-weet!115November 21, 2018 05:49AM

  Yet...

jemach112November 21, 2018 05:54AM

  no you cant but

PHDram186November 21, 2018 06:31AM

  4 drives with TDs in under 4 plays.

  Re: Fish would have run the ball 3x

merlin148November 20, 2018 03:47PM

  because punting the ball away and letting the other team win

Rams_81144November 21, 2018 02:50AM

  Well...we went 3 and out so what's the difference?

jemach140November 21, 2018 05:51AM

  Agreed. (nm)

JamesJM81November 21, 2018 06:01AM

  that's where that strategy really failed

21Dog113November 21, 2018 06:06AM

  Didn't work doesn't mean it was bad strategy

Suh-weet!123November 21, 2018 06:15AM

  Well, I guess I would say...

jemach77November 21, 2018 09:47AM

  because the Rams played defense different

Rams_81109November 21, 2018 10:09AM

  In McVay's own words (from his presser)

AlbaNY_Ram156November 21, 2018 05:22AM

  Re: In McVay's own words (from his presser) ALL THAT MATTERS

Rampage2K-133November 21, 2018 08:06AM

  The issue IMO isn't strategy

zn162November 21, 2018 05:26AM

  Good stuff, zn..

sstrams126November 21, 2018 05:36AM
