Playing the Patriots in the superbowl is a nice problem to have.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
basically, I think Kupp will get the most catches and the team needed a deep threat. This guy is a better fit since they didn't use Watkins in the way he should be used. Less money to boot. I be ok with either keep Watkins or making this deal for Cook. What I didn't want to do is sit and do nothing and have one of they filler guys fill the role as a 3rd receiver.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
will not be as productive as Cook.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
3 straight 1000 yard seasons. That is production! The team now has 3 receiving threats to continue to give Gurley all the space he needs to run wild.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know what you are thinking. You must have responded to a different post McVay is a spectacular coach. McVay's ability to create space for Gurley reminds me what Martz did for Faulk. It took him to another level. And he saved Goff's career after Fisher almost had him buried. Also, The team went and got Whitworth to replace Robinson last season and picked up very good WRs lby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
there are exceptions to every rule. There may be maybe 3-5 others in the last 20 years that I would take in top 5 at left tackle. Even though I think that was a very good pick and think Pace was a great player though, I wouldn't put him in the Hall of Fame which is an entire different issue, but one that I feel strongly on. He bailed on his teammates and called in sick just because he coulby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
they do so I see your context being the hurry up at the very end of the game. So that part is opinion, the fact that I count pretty well all drives in the 4th quarter. At a minimum, the team should have a little more pace coming in and out of huddle. I look at it like this: If you are down 2 scores, wouldn't you have a better chance to have 4 or 5 possessions to get those 2 scores or onby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
A big play maker has tremendous value. Note, the Rams have only made the playoffs 6 times in the last 25-30 years and all 6 times, the Rams were strong at WR. The 20+ times the Rams did not make the playoffs, the Rams were weak at WR. I do think draft picks are overrated and it is highly unlikely that the picks the Rams give us will have as much value has him, but the question is if he iby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
talk about disaster (Robinson and Smith) where the Rams pick at 23 I be fine with it though. Top 5 picks should be playmakers (somebody who touches the ball or rushes the passer)by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

there is no conclusion other than what happened. Very little scoring in the 4th quarter when trailing while the majority of the teams in the NFL not just this year, but NFL history sees a significant increase in scoring in the 4th quarter, especially when trailing. I was just posting the results to make sure he knew the facts. To state that it is an opinion is like somebody saying "by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Go to the 11:04 mark. "JUST GOT IT AWAY!" Talking about the play clock. Most embarrassing moment of the season. And to go 0-6 when trailing at the start of the 4th quarter and than the offensive point totals being so poor when needing to score and score quickly. I look at simply, the team can't function on offense when urgency is required and scores are needed quickly latby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He will be better for sure, but his jump last year was large because he went from Fisher - quarterback killer to McVay - a wonderful offensive coach providing means and opportunity to Goff and entire offense.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is like playing in between and getting an A and a 2. :) You are really going out on the limb there! Just kidding you. :)by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
In fact, they should be better in this area and my entire point is they really need to focus on late game execution with McVay letting go and just letting Goff go and go quickly on his own. Play the QB position with a inner feel instead of waiting for McVay to tell him everything he needs to do and chewing up an entire playclock trailing with 2 minutes left in the game. I never want to hearby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
I look at simply, the team can't function on offense when urgency is required and scores are needed quickly late in the game. The NFL typically scores tons of points in the 4th quarter and normally you score more when trailing. The opposing defense wears down and typically plays more conservative giving you yards with that silly prevent defense, but consider this: 1) Losing against Washiby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
To say we can’t win from behind to start the 4th qtr is just not factually based. That this team has never done it so to date, with McVay and Goff as the leaders. That is a fact. The team has never been able to win a game if trailing at the start of the 4th quarter. That statement is what happened.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Failure Basically if it is the 4th quarter and the Rams have to score quickly because time is running out and the team is trailing, the Rams currently have no chance to win the game. 6 times we saw it. To me that is not an opinion but a fact. The events were what they were.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
to not be able to win any games when trailing entering the 4th quarter. Basically, you have no chance right now if the team is trailing. You can't secure home field advantage like that. No team is going to dominate and lead the entire football game every game the entire season. You have to have the ability to come from behind quickly when needed. I have no idea on what you mean when yoby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

when you are 11-5, what is the next thing you try to do. Figure out how to get a little better and get over the hump. And what is the #1 problem. The team cannot win when trailing and needing to score late in the game quickly. Can't do it and look very bad actually in trying to do it or I question the "Try" even because using the entire play clock isn't much of a try. You kiby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and the Rams ran No Huddle a bunch but still didn't snap the ball quickly. In early season games, they did surprise other team by hiking quickly some times. I am talking about trailing late in the game and not being able to make a play, get lined up, and go quickly. It was so bad and the results speak for themselves. 0 wins when trailing going into the 4th quarter.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
8-8 with the problems they had was incredible. Him and Fitz basically resurrected Palmer's career a few years ago. Losing that coach may hurt unless the new guy is good as well.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
:) and yes, it needs to be spoken over and over and over. To ignore would be an indifferent fan and lots of scrutiny and constant discussion over and over is necessary to promote change in this world.

Rams were trailing or tied 7 times at the start of the 4th quarter and lost all of them except 1 which was a tie going into the 4th quarter. When you look at the Rams numbers, the Rams seemed to be the most dominant team in the NFL, but when you basically can't win if you are trailing at the start of the 4th quarter, you put yourself in a lesser playoff situation.
