QuoteOld Goat Well, you can't write it off, either. It really seemed to have an effect on the D when they had to come back out and they never really seemed to shake it off afterward. Like our QB, confidence with this young team means a lot. We have studs on D, they're just out of position, by far, from what Williams taught. And I think they really liked that scheme.

Quotemax I had feared that switching to the 3-4 would be a mistake. Simply put, it is. I don't care about Wade's resume. This ain't gonna work this year. They just don't have the right personnel to run it. Actually, I'm very surprised that Wade thought he could make it work with these guys. "Fixed" would mean note defense is better, obviously, but how much better? "Elite"by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL That is well coached! How often in recent years did we have extra time and still come out unprepared? I trust things will be different this year. I'll bet McV and Co. will put that time to good use! Rams sustained several injuries and I imagine a bunch of guys who'll suit up for sure - Gurley, for example - will REALLY benefit from the extra days to rest and heal up. And, of courby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Short and sweet. Here's Rainram... Countess' offsides gave them points Austin's fumble gave them points Quinn's offsides have them points Cooper's fumble gave them points That was 20-24 points that was easily preventable! Two games in a row of poor discipline. I won't mention referee mistakes because that went both ways. Our secondary and LBers played poorly. Period.by Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Yeah, need to extend Watkins sooner rather than later. He's a known and sure thing. Young and now healthy. We saw him last night. I want that for the next 6+ years as a Ram weapon. From Watkins' pov, what better HC and QB could he hope to play with for the rest of his career? Win-win. Hope he doesn't have AD's agent. Lol. His talent, youth, apparent attitude, and perforby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan That has to be one of the all time best catches I have seen. Just goes to show you how much this offense has lacked in playmakers. Legit #1 WR is what we have in Watkins............YES! We sign him long term. One of the all-time best catches? For sure it was a thing of beauty, aesthetically speaking, and a huge pickup. But I would have been disappointed if he *hadn'tby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteramBRO QuoteRams43 <snipped> Tavon. Ummmmm... I'm gonna take the high road here. But I still think that he's a man without a position. Just caught Rob Ryan on Colin Cowherd's show. He brought up an interesting tidbit about the on-field relationship involving Austin and Rams' rushing attack that I hadn't really put much thought into. He said that, in Buffalo, one of the mainby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteThe_Bad_Guy I'm thrilled with the overall direction of this franchise. After all those years in the wasteland ... it suddenly feels like the Rams are a vibe again. People are looking at McVay, the staff, the offense, even Wade ... and saying ... 'damn! There might be something good going on there!' But ... I've gotta admit ... I'm thrilled for the kid.

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Of course Shanny is going to have a very good offense down the road. Last night, well lets factor in a couple things. 1. Rams are clearly struggling with Wade Phillips 3-4. They have not bought into it yet and have assignment issues which is causing them problems in gap assignment and pass coverage. This was somewhat evident in the Skins game and they did not have tiby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteMamaRAMa When I look at the "Analyze" tab on NFL.com's Game Center for a completed game, there's a stat that shows "Red zone efficiency" followed by x/x - xx%. For example, in the Rams-49ers game, it shows Rams Red Zone efficiency as 5/7 - 71%. I thought what that meant was that the Rams were in the red zone 7 times and came away with points 5 times.

QuoteRamgator Three ST mistakes led to`Niner points. Even playing poorly, last night should've been a blowout. .... had ZERO business taking that ball out of the end zone.

Quoteleafnose Four gaffs; not all on the coach, but 2 of them certainly have to point to lack of focus Offsides. terrible result. getting the defense off the field, and then that Tavon fumble jeez, and some loose hands to boot where he bobbled the ball Greg Z punches the ball out of the side, and results in field position and another short field with a score to end it Onsides kickby Suh-weet! - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams QuoteSpeed_Kills Hot damn! Sorry 43....couldnt help it They played well in both run blocking and pass protection tonight. The two previous games they did well in pass protection. The OL developing into something good is maybe the most encouraging aspects of the first 3 weeks to me. I'll take it and then some.

QuoteLos Angeles Lenny I don"t know what to say about the D BUT WE WON! Well, good news is Wade has 10 days to try to get that D straight.

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Thats what I heard on NFL Network post game. Wow what a game for the offense. Gurley was outstanding. Watkins and Woods were superb! O-line was excellent. Defense? Yeesh!!! But defense made two huge plays to save the victory at the end. Thank God for that. Grits 64 and 48-yarders from Hekker, and GZ remains perfect on his FG's, including a 48-yarder.

QuoteSpeed_Kills Gurley, Watkins, oline, woods Tight ends did nothing tonight. But after tonight it's pretty well established that Watkins, Kupp. Woods, and Gurley are all serious weapons, and Goff can get it to any and all of them. Awfully stressful on a defense.
