Injuries matter. Next year assuming everyone gets healthy and/or new faces we'll look back at this year and say damn. That sucked.

Maybe someone currently on the roster will step up too.

I grabbed 2 screen shots during the game of missed opportunities.

Both were completions, but both we missed a wide open A Robinson to the left for potentially bigger plays.

This was the tight completion to Jefferson:

This was the completion to Kupp, Stafford’s first read was Robinson, but he quickly moved to Kupp.

That has to be frustrating Robinson! I’m a Stafford supporter and usually ups and downs comes with him, waiting for the more ups now! Is he Bulgered right now?

I had completely forgot he was the one who opted out of the covid year due to his cancer history. So he might just be a late bloomer due to all of that time he had to make up and coming from a lesser college background compared to most. Hopefully he turns into a diamond in the rough because we sure could use one right now.

I was never a backstreet boys fan but yes 34 is way too young

Fuck Von Miller.

On the bright side of things, Troy Hill looked as good as I have ever seen him. He was all over the place Sunday.

He really did have a good game.

What's amazing is he can watch him play or the tape and STILL puts him out there.

Its bizarre to me.
Just bizarre.....to bring Brewer up and to replace Aboushi who gave up no pressure the previous game and NOT replace Evans just makes zero sense.
The staff has to be aware of this.
The decision making like this one....the play calling....the refusal to keep one RB in to get a rhythm and this list goes on.....it's a strange year.
The thing is, the D scheme is what it is because it was designed to work with an offense that was effective and scoring points. If the O was solid and scoring at last years clip the team is 6-2 more than likely.

I decided to rewatch the Kupp run

And I think if he dived instead of slid, he would have been a half yard short

Or even if he cuts back he might have carried those two guys to the 16

Bottom line is the defense let them drive down the field with less than a minute and no timeouts and score a TD.

Bottom line is they let up 16 points, which wins you a game 55% of the time in the NFL.
Bottom line the offense scored 13 points which wins you a game 27% in the NFL.

Bottom line, if asking your offense to get ONE FIRST DOWN in the ENTIRE 4TH QUARTER.. and they can't.. your defense ain't the issue.

That makes him a douche?


Remind me how Kupp got hurt

Just look at the guy. He looks like a dude that girls shouldn't leave their drink around. I guarantee that dude has fist-pumped in a club shirtless. Fuck philly.

Yes, and we're not even close to the end of the season. The whiners were 3-5 and we had to play them in the NFCCG. The NFC East might have 3 playoff teams but after that, the pickings are thin. The Rams can still make a run if we can start scoring more than 15.2 points per game.

I know we have injuries, but having the same points per game on offense as a Jeff Fisher team isn't going to get us there.

If we can get Evans out of the line-up and replaced with someone who can get a 50 on pass blocking score on PFF, we will score 20 points a game guaranteed. I would bet a lot of money on that.

Go Chargers!

I dunno. That injury was one of those where some guys are never the same. Could that be the case with Akers? Or is it mental? The lack of blocking can definitely get into a running back or quarterback's head.

Most times there is no running lane for Akers. But the few times there is, he looks nothing like his rookie year. If it doesn't get better the rest of the way I think they have to consider releasing him after the season.

The line can't block and our best RB is average if that. Where McVay and Snead went wrong was thinking this line was good enough. I know the injuries wreaked havoc. But the starting lineup going into the season was not going to be that good anyway.

They have two choices. Blow it all up and start the 3 year rebuild. Or upgrade the OL and RB positions in the spring. A 3 year rebuild would be wasting guys like Stafford and Donald who only have a few years left. And Kupp who will be 30 next season.

They need guys who are not injury prone and have experience. They don't have to have an all star lineup. As bad as the line is now how hard would it be to upgrade.

Then there is one thing that could be something we can't fix. What if McVay is a one trick pony and can't evolve with the ever changing defenses in the NFL? If that is the case then we're in for some disappointing times. Stan Kroenke has a history of being more patient with his coaches than most owners.

And that's why we are going to keep bringing up Tutu - to remind Snead and McVay of that mistake lol

We are going to be so annoying they will remember this pick that the next time they think someone small has an athletic ability during the draft - oh yeah - Tutu - what are we even thinking of - Rams on Demand has told us a million times what a stupid pick that was - NEXT!!

Click to expand...

You do know that that Atwell was like 150 lbs soaking wet right?

Did Snead not learn from the Tavon Austin disaster?

I love the POTENTIAL of Tutu and Tavon.
But they're NOT football players.
They're more like toys.

Creed Humphreys is a football player and looks like he will be for a long long time.

If we had upgraded our Center last year I don't think we'd be in nearly as bad a position on the oline.

The Rams get an extra day to rest... err, I mean prepare.
Will it matter? Doesn't seem likely...

Wish someone would ask him why he keeps playing Evans at LG

Me: Why do you keep playing Evans at LG?

Coach: There’s a lot to that, FanSince69, its not just one thing. It’s not just one guy. I have to do a better job of putting the OL in a better position to succeed, the other coaches have to coach better and the players have to execute better within the construct of what we’re trying to do on offense.

Wish granted.

Tony Dungy and Jason Garrett just showed highlights of our game and paused the highlights to show the ridiculous cushion we were playing off Tampa receivers on that final drive

Good! Hand over play calling to Coen as a first step allowing yourself to be more of a team manager and maybe we'll actually stop being pathetically embarrassing on offense.

I regret what I have said about Demby. I'm sorry. Even he has been better than Evans tonight.
