The reason that you throw the ball on both second and third down instead of going for a 48 yard field is anything longer than 40 yards is reaching the limits of Mevis' range. That is why he has been wide on anything over 40 recently, because he is straining to reach the distance which sacrifices his accuracy.

We had total control of the clock, the offence was rolling and the Bills had no answer for Kyren Williams, Puka, Higbee or anyone else. We should have rolled forward for a TD.

McVay should have seen this, and he also should have observed from practice that Mevis cannot be counted to reliably hit anything beyond 40 yards. NFL kickers are generally so good now that anything up to 50 and even beyond are basically chip shots.

McVay should have had the offence go for a td, won the game and then replaced Mevis this week, as you can not reasonably have a kicker who you cannot count on to make the kicks that Mevis has been missing.

What is most alarming is the long-running ineptitude and glaring incompetence of our special teams units, our continuing inability to close out sacks, our poor tackling, our failure to contain or restrict running QB's, and our inability to cover the short passing routes in the interior of our defence. McVay clearly has not prioritized special teams, and it shows.

McVay's field goal decision just shouldn't have made given all of the known circumstances. It was stupid given the flow of the game and the known weaknesses of our kicker and special teams.

Another winnable game just got pissed away.

Nope.

Same issue… looking to the future when you had issues at present.

And an explosive return guy could have a huge impact.

Agreed on the explosive return guy. They had opportunities there after the first two picks.

The 'looking to the future' is how the Rams have drafted in the entire McSnead era. It's a 10 year pattern that's not changing. It kinda seems like a futile complaint to me.
 
so Jackson punched Buffalo Bills pass-rusher Bradley Chubb in the face during a postgame confrontation after the Bills' overtime win, On National TV Post Game Show! Hes Getting Suspended!

Yes....he is not a bright bulb.
I fully expect next weeks game against what should be an over matched Cardinals team to come right down to the wire or be a lose and the wheels totally come off....if the Rams lose next week they are winning 5 games all year.

What is most alarming is the long-running ineptitude and glaring incompetence of our special teams units, our continuing inability to close out sacks, our poor tackling particularly in clutch situations , our failure to contain or restrict running QB's, and our inability to cover the short passing routes in the interior of our defence.

Of particular issue is that McVay clearly has not prioritized special teams, and it shows.

Time for Kill Tony; Kirk Fox and Tim Butterly and Heidi's yucky plastic fun bags (chick is made of plastics).

The block... Shelton blown up. Also had his head pinned by the defender.

Horrid special teams by Bubba. Got to figure out who the biggest threat is on ST and neutralize. No fouls on the play.

You cannot let their best player get a free pass to block the kick!

Yeah…. And it’s fine.

If you’re right.

But they weren’t.

They kept X Smith… mistake.
They didn’t add any explosive athletes who could contribute immediately on Teams. Mistake.

Getting zero out of first two picks. No good.
