I does have to come into question his logic of why he Kicked a FG w/
39 seconds on 3rd & 6 down 11.

It makes ZERO SENSE.Well yes , The Rams needed 2 scores.

It didn't make sense. If you're going to dink and dunk your way all the way down there you have to go for the td on 3rd down.

But after watching his qb throw turds all game, especially in the redzone, he probably thought "screw it" and took the points on offer because there was no way Stafford was throwing a td pass in that area.

As soon as kwill started moving out of the backfield I thought the pass was going to him all the way. Then Stafford threw his ultimate turd. That would have been enough for Mcvay.

There was more chance hitting on a hail Mary than a Stafford pass in the redzone this game.

My point is just Why not throw the Football for a TD ? It only takes 6 seconds? Plus if you score you still have to convert The 2 points.

If you don’t convert the 2 points,then you know you needed 2 TD’s.I guess his thought was after a TD and no time they still get a a chance to conversed the extra piintd

Yeah - but if you fail a 2 point conversion after all that would be a Total Killer.I’d rather know what would win.
Your point could be right ?

Horrible thread title.

Also horrible-- McVay's decision to kick the 22-yard FG when it was 4th and goal at the 4 yard line with 6:31 left. It was 20-9 at the time, so the made FG only made it 20-12.

Really thought the OBVIOUS choice was to go for it there and try to make a real game of it, make it either 20-15 or even 20-17 with the TD and 2 point conversion.

Even if unsuccessful, Fins would be backed up at their 4.

Just really surprised and disappointed that McVay didn't get aggressive at that point. Fins turned around and scored another FG to extend lead to 23-12, and then it was pretty much game over.

He made the right call. It put us within one score and defense had a chance to get a stop.

Agreed. I have a much bigger problem that he didn't go for it there on 4th and Goal at the 4.

BUT, I also think the play of the OL was a big reason for that.

In the category of threads with terrible titles that you never thought you'd read but aren't shocked to see by certain posters this is the $1000 question. I'll refrain from appropriate adjectives here that mods don't like.

I’m talking with 39 seconds left on 3rd down.

It made NO SENSE imo. I can’t figure it out. I maybe super dumb,but the math doesn’t add up.

Even so if your looking ahead & have that mindset of 2 scores.Why run it 3rd & 1 with 1.11 left on the clock ?

Pass play stops the clock at 1 minute.If you score a TD of get out of bounds.Incompletion brings up 4th down & you KICK a FG with 1 minute.

Yes - that is when everyone wants to go back to is when The Rams had a chance still,but still 2 scores.

Went FG for FG Miami up by 11.

My point is with 39 seconds ADD 1 EXTRA DOWN !!

THIRD & TEN ? Why KICK a FG then ? You SAVE only 7 SECONDS-Ten at most.

Sure BAD TITLE- NO DOUBT!!!

Still - your going to put Matthew Stafford at RISK with the ball 38 seconds from there own 40 yard line.

PLUS not knowing if you can make the 2 POINT CONVERSION just to tie the score.

Vs 29 SECONDS and or needing a TD to WIN IT or a FG to tie it from there own 40 ?

The only question is why would you KICK a FG on THIRD DOWN needing 11 points for 6 to 10 seconds.

It makes NO sense IMO & just asking what am I missing ? It’s just FOOTBALL LOGIC !!

I’m BAFFLED- I know maybe Stafford gets sacked & you don’t put him through that ?

Still if you recover an onside kick,do you take a knee so he doesn’t get hurt ? Honestly?

I remember The Rams leaving Bobby Evan’s in at Guard.

Then Zack Thomas in at LT. Matthew Stafford took a pounding.

- I still question throwing a pass to Matthew Stafford for a 2 point conversion when his hand was already hurt ? ONLY to get BLOWN OUT afterwards.

Yes - beam me up Scotty !! To the football GODS- I want answers - WHY.

Maybe a reporter can ask that question. I still QUESTION not taking THREE POINTS to START
-The 2024 Season against Detroit.

Logic from the FOOTBALL GODS- say take the points.Get on The Scoreboard!! It gets confusing why you do it one time & not another time.

I question why sign Johna Jackson as your big money FA & don’t extend a nice contract for DEPTH at LEAST in A’ Jackson & Ahkello Whiterspoon.

MAYBE why no CUT Noteboom ?? Yes - A’ Jackson got suspended & The Rams still need a backup LT.

T’ White though vs Whiterspoon ? I thought he out played his contract.We all saw what Jalen Ramsey brings,but still whiterspoon doesn’t get beat very often.

When you don’t notice a CORNER BACK it’s a GOOD THING!! And when you do & he makes a play then it can make a Fan Smile.
