1 The RAMS D played poorly......yes
2 The poorly playing D kept the game within reach by causing FG's instead of TD's......yes
3 The O came alive for a spark in the late 3rd into the early 4th......yes
4 The ST which has been a total zero all season comes up huge with a return to the 43......yes
5 The O comes out with 4 minutes at the 43 with 2 time outs and the 2 minute warning......yes
6 They get another great run by Cam, but a penalty brings it back......yes
7 They still make it a manageable 3rd and 4 and go deep, the pass is not a good one......yes
8 The final shot at the great position, time still on the clock, all time outs available....yes
9 Goff chooses to go deep again instead of going underneath, getting the 1st down, keeping the ball and using more clock.....yes
10 The chance inside their 45 was wasted......yes
This game was set up by the play of the 1st half indeed it was, all phases played poorly....This game was done in by poor play in that 4 minute episode.....with all the bad issues 2 phases came together at a great time and the 3rd phase (O) blew the chance....Don't talk about what the D did after the junk the O just did with prime position.....We should have gotten that 1st down, kept the ball so we would not need to stop the clock, it would have forced them to use their time outs....at worst it goes OT, at best we score with little/no time left.
The D did what was needed with the stop, the ST did the job with the return, the O blew it....talking about the D not getting the ball back again is insane...
