If the Rams don't see we need better tackle depth, and depth in the defensive trenches, after seeing DJ Humphries single handedly neuter this offense, and the run defence completely implode when Ponna Ford is out of the lineup - unclear if he is 100% since coming back, which might explain a lot - when will they?
Far too many bad games for Stafford this year. He has generally been very good. But for all the team struggles - and is indeed a team sport - we win the Carolina and Atalanta games if Stafford even just plays poorly as opposed to awful. You need better from your veteran, huge cap hit, MVP level QB.
Tutu beats his man deep late. No flag sadly. But how many times does he need to win his snap to actually see the field? His ratio of big plays/flags drawn vs. reps is remarkable.
McVay yet again getting overly aggressive. Just take the points. There is a time and a place for always going for it on 4th down. With Karty, I supported always just going for it, as I truly believe it was the higher % play. Mevis has missed 1 kick all year, and clearly the wind took it. You can't risk just leaving points on the table every game. A team with SB aspirations needs to be able to trust its kicker. Shootout? I get it. FGs won't win it. Against Atlanta with plenty of time left and need to score twice anyway? Take the points. Against Seattle, on the road, in the 1st quarter, on the game's first possession, when the engine of that team is their defence and they have consistently struggled to piece good offensive games together? Take the points. He is trending into Dan Campbell territory now...
Lots of questions about this team right now. Saving grace is the same is true of every NFC squad, but we get lots of important bodies back from injury by the playoffs, and on paper, have the best QB in the conference. No reason to count the Rams out despite poor recent form. Lots of folks scared of Philly on the road. Well, you can't avoid tough draws forever. This is the same Eagles squad that completed 1 pass (!) all 2nd half vs Buffalo, and has had several halves this year that were just as pathetic. Every team is asking equally hard questions as the Rams right now, if they are being honest with themselves.
