McVay gives up more points before the half, AGAIN

[HE WITH HORNS]

It seems almost every week McVay goes aggressive pass happy before the half, with little time left, and when they don't convert, the other team scores.

We were literally ahead 6-3, and all we needed to do was run the ball, and run the half out, and go into the next half with possession and the lead.

I wish I knew the exact numbers on how often this happens, but it seems to me like almost every time.

Last week the same thing happened with SF.

yeah why did we score a touchdown against SF with 1:52 remaning... dumb move...

What are you talking about?

 

[OntarioRam]

McVay has been great this year. Tonight, thus far, he has been poor. Let's see what he can do before the game is over though before blowing up over his performance in Cincy.

 

[Loyal]

The other guys get paid too, ya know.

We gave them WAY too much time on the clock to come down and score. Should have ran the clock out more.
This happens constantly.

i mean we ran it two straight times... we just scored....

Backup OT against their best pass rusher. No changes???

Its crazy. He's totally mismatched against them. To the point anyone should be better. And they're leaving him on an island to sink or swim. He's pretty deep by now.

Isn't this what Noteboom is paid for?

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I think this should become the vent thread, this game is over already unless the defense comes up with a miracle and Noteboom moves to LT.

 

[Memphis Ram]

AGAIN. BACKUP OT vs BEST PASH RUSHER!!!

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

This is what happens when you pat yourself on the back repeatedly after a loss.

"Oh, we played SO HARD against SF, we did so well. . . ."

McVay practically gave out game balls after that loss.

 

[Tumak61]

Terrible Mcvay plan on offense

 

[Angry Ram]

Then there will be threads claiming they played too scared instead of keeping their foot on the gas.

 

[RamsSince1969]

Hey, we were one onside kick recovery away from stealing the victory as we had all the momentum.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

And think, without giving them those points before the half, at worst, we are tied at the end of regulation.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Hey, we were one onside kick recovery away from stealing the victory as we had all the momentum.

I mean, other than the fact that we haven't recovered an on-side kick in 10 years, you'd be 100% correct.

 

[Billy Baroo]

Loss on McVay. It seems running the ball is beneath him.

 

[NorthernRam]

This game would have been much different if we'd run the ball when we were at the 3 yard line early instead of throwing and taking a sack when we shouldn't have been throwing at all.

We should have had a touchdown there and then we would have been playing with a lead.

We should have run on our other first half red zone trips too. No excuse not to have been up by at least 10 points going in at halftime.

Losing our left offensive tackle was huge and led to all the Bengal pressure in the second half, but our backup left tackle should have been given help.

No excuse for leaving him on an island.

We didn't manage the first half well and our play calling there left Stafford hung out to dry.

Since we didn't get those early touchdowns, we gave the Bengals the chance to take the lead and bring pass rush pressure every down in the second half.

This was a game we definitely should have won.

Tutu definitely scored a TD on the early catch. There's no way that there was enough evidence to say that his foot touched the sideline. The refs made a hometown call.

Tutu looks amazing. Scary fast and smooth.

It's time to move on from Van Jefferson. He just doesn't get open enough to be an every down threat.

Trade Jefferson to open up a roster spot and bring in a depth receiver who can be a return man. It's pathetic that we fair catch every punt, gain no field position and we have no threat of breaking one.

We're the only team in the league that fair catches every punt and the only one whose starting running back is our punt returner.

Instead of playing one man short with Van Jefferson, I have no idea why we don't give Robinson or Johnson a chance to play. Skro is too slow to make an impact.

We really need an edge rusher badly. Got to make QB's uncomfortable. We're getting no pressure from either side and QB's are feeling no outside heat. All our pressure was from stunts in the middle.

Our punt return coverage is very poor. We've got to find a gunner, no one is ever within 15 yards of the opposing returner when he catches the ball.

I'm not a fan of some of our tackling angles in the secondary; Fuller is always late to the play and is giving up too much yardage before initiating contact and Durant and Kendricks are avoiding contact and are ducking under tackles and not wrapping up.

We gave up some first downs by not fully committing to the tackle and gave up too many YAC on short passes.

But apart from that, everything’s fine. Right?
