QuoteRams_81 I actually wanted overtime to teach McVay a lesson. It almost happened. Had the QB ran instead of throwing the interception, it was headed to overtime. .. then they would still have had to score the 6 and convert the two, and, depending on the time, held off the Rams' effort at least to get into field goal range w/two TO's left. So, no, Jones running there hardly would haveby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamsFanSinceLA So glad we got the win but man was that ugly. Is the Giants D that good? We couldn't get anything going on offense. Like others have said, I put this one on McVay. It seems like he couldn't come up with anything to counter what the Giants were doing on defense. Our OL didn't look good in this one. Thank goodness for D. Williams, saving the day.

QuoteRams43 Just said something nice about him. Lol. ... guy's a nice player. Potentially a very nice player. All he's lacked is opportunity - and he's getting a lot more this game. With the ball in his hand he definitely tries to do a lot. We just saw the down side of that. But the kid's a playmaker.by Suh-weet! - Game Time Forum
QuoteSpeed_Kills seems to me all of them run the ball well? Rams are just more balanced. ... is only part of it. A bigger part is simply whether the play calls favor runs or throws when the teams are deep into the red zone - e.g., inside the 5. The Rams are certainly more balanced on run/pass calls when they get in close. That's perfectly fine in re offensive success. My point is simplyby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Sosa K @QBsMVP Wanna know how good the Rams' offense is right now? They rank 29th in pass attempts (90) yet rank 1st in explosive plays passing (15+ yards downfield, w/ 27), per @PFF. Outstanding. 9:45 AM · Sep 29, 2020 9 "explosive" passing plays/game? And they're only 8th in total yds, so.. yeah, chunk plays and YAC has been HUGE for this team.

QuoteRams43 Music to my ears. Who’d have thought this possible last year around late October?

QuoteRamsAl48 One could argue that Jared Goff was just as good as Josh Allen on Sunday....he threw for basically the same stats and lead his team back from a 25 point deficit to lead.....yet no one was talking about his performance.

Quotemax 2 things here. Gurley is no longer a top tier back. He’s above average when able to play and a risk to shut down any week. The Rams are a better team w/o the current version of Gurley. He was a problem for McVay on multiple levels. In summary, dumping Gurley has proved to be the right move, irrespective of the decision to give him the big money when they did.

Quotedzrams QuoteRams43 Having said all that, our biggest problem is lack of pressure on the QB. We got away with it against the Cowboys and Eagles, but Allen was way too comfortable and made play after play, especially in that nightmare coverage first half.

QuoteLMU93 I'm not saying the secondary was stellar vs. BUF. And they did blow a few assignments (like 3rd and 22). But I still really think it was WAY more about the (lack of) pass rush than the coverage. When a QB has 4-5 seconds to sit back there and then completes a pass it's hard to call it "blown coverage." There were definitely some BADLY blown coverages, but I think you're rigby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills see Todd Gurley below... (:D Looks like the Rams knew what they were doing :ROTF He was just bad last year.

QuoteSpeed_Kills Goff, on the other hand, was accurate and efficient down the stretch. His performance under pressure should be the most encouraging thing for Rams fans, as he went 5-for-7 for 69 yards and a score when pressured.

QuoteClassicalwit Even in the twilight of his career, he's better than anyone we have in the front seven (AD excluded obviously). Dude missed 4 games last year and still had 9 sacks. A number of those sacks were of the freebie variety. He might have been the least impressive 9-sack guy I've ever seen.

But some QB's, like him, consistently get to pad those TD passing numbers and others, like our own JG, simply don't.
