Titian’s @ Rams Game Thread

Bottom post of the previous page:

I would take out my main guys at 28-9. No need for Stafford or Kupp to take hits here

I know … WTF

I don't think we have enough to make a push in the playoffs - maybe win 1st round but the minute we take the field against a physical defense we seem to fold - or at least shoot ourselves in the foot with ill-timed turnovers, stupid penalties, and a stalled offense...to be fair, Stafford didn't have the protection he's seen in previous games, but the lack of adjustments is troubling....and to add insult to injury, AP scores a rushing touchdown to seal the game....I don't know - for a team that's all in, we still seem to have some glaring weaknesses....and I don't think Von Miller would have made a difference - even is he was 100%...

Looking at our playoff opponents, I think at Green Bay would be a loss. Rams can beat Dallas and New Orleans. Loss vs Tampa.

I'd agree - and since it looks like the NFC will go thru AZ - even if we got there - hard to see a win...

I'm just as worried about the back end of our schedule - I can easily see losses to GB, AZ, BAL and possibly even MIN....unless we beat 49ers twice (which is NOT a given)

[brasilrams]

garbage time TD ! awesome

[Rampager66]

Look at all the Flags on Tennessee now... I'm just about done with this garbage... The NFL needs new leadership. they look worse then the WWE to me...

here come the pathos pack...its a loss...learn from it, regroup and move forward...this team still has legs...

[armyram]

The Rams are just not that good, they are pretenders….

and so are you...another joker to be ignored...

Yeah, this sucks but we have a great team… just NFL is hard

[MileHighRam]

ruffing the passer????????

[harkin]

Two turnovers and 12 penalties.

Complete meltdown.

[NorCal RF]

Save the”they wanted it more than us crap” Rams lost to one of the better teams in the league………..

Red flag big time with this OL against a very physical D………….

[Rampager66]

Complete meltdown.

6 sacks allowed...

Truth is truth they are NOT a championship team, I am not going to sit here and be a homer, losing 28-16 and not even making it a game on prime time makes this team gutless losers….I have been a fan since the 80’s I call it how I see it.

[GlendoraRam]

This is one of those games where I actually do say… wow… WTH. Never seen a game so defined by the officials. They set the tone and it all fell into place. Very strange game.

[Truth]

Save the”they wanted it more than us crap” Rams lost to one of the better teams in the league………..
….

They were without Derrick Henry. He’s their entire offense

[Utah Rams Fan]

Settle down everyone. The Rams lost the game. They are 7-2 which is very good and they will come out next week and spank SF. 8-2 at the bye week is pretty damned good.

[NorCal RF]

Collinsworth is a douche. We beat ourselves tonight. I can prove it. Ask Stafford, our Oline and the play calling.

We came in totally unprepared. Stafford stunk. Our Oline was on vacation. McVay couldn’t stick w establishing the run and owning the clock.

My goodness. He’s an idiot

At some point one has to see that their D was flat out more physical and had better players then the Rams tonight. 7-2 teams can give others the impression that the other team was “unprepared”……………

The performance of the OL is of great concern with teams like AZ, SF, and Balt still to play. All very physical defenses…………….

Well obviously he is not………….

Titans are very good . But imo , it is very concerning the way this offense was dominated by a more physical defense . And let's not forget titans didn't have henry . I am thinking if he was there this would be even worse .

[MileHighRam]

collinsworth is a dirt bag. tries to cover for horrible penalties

[brasilrams]

Well obviously he is not………….

He is nor , proof of that is that the titans offense didn't do SQUAT . they actually scored 7 points only today . 14 points were scored by their D and that last 7 they got , was totally robbed by that flag on AD , extending their drive . So really , their offense just scored 7 points . With henry they would have scored much more , imo .

it's absolutely crazy that coaches do this. I have never understood it

That team will end up with 11-12 wins which means half their wins will be without him……….

[harkin]

Rams got flat out-hustled by a team ready to play from the get-go.

I warned about this in this thread before kickoff but McVay failed to have his team ready.

Such a Golden Opportunity squandered.

They are very good and they can overcome his absence but today, their offense didn't do anything. They won this game because of their defense so all those wins without Henry that might happen, will probably be on their defense shoulders.

[UK Rams Fan]

Glad I didn't stay up late to watch that LIVE.

A bizarre week of upsets this has been...

Yesterday's result is most likely the product of playing 3 bum teams on the bounce and then having to eventually get to play an elite playoff team who mean business each and every week.

The Rams got too comfortable in Oct and they paid the price.

[RGtheFirst]

Way too many penalties, very costly at times too, early on…

Dump penalties, face mask etc… giving them a new set of downs and a score… after stopping them

We are no imposters, we are still improving, we will be better… we’ll have to be

[Hacksaw]

As long time fans many still suffer from PTSD..

Vrabel is a D guy and he brought a solid gameplan. They have the personnel to execute it. They caught us after playing 3 softies and feeling a bit too comfortable.

The officiating didn't help us at all. Pretty lopsided imo , but a big angry team punching you in the face all night will get you to react.
We got caught.

The inner Oline was certainly leaky but our playcalling was part of the problem. Lack of adjustments, and not soon enough helped bury us early, , and definitely encouraged them.

A few sacks were coverage sacks we couldn't see on TV. It's possible Stafford was fooled by their coverages too. He was at least reluctant , , especially after the "JG" int.
They were running 2 deep safeties in a cover 4 daring us to run. When we did it was successful. Should have run it down their throats until they went to a more conventional set , , then pass.

In the end, we handed them 14 points and 80 penalty yds by the D and only lost by 12.
Ugly national TV disappointment? Yes.
Beat the F'n 9ers and all will be right again. Time to make a national TV comeback.
