our reactions to the Jagz game

Finally a decisive win from beginning to end. Still, looked like the Jags beat themselves anyway. Lots of unforced errors, including the penalties, and lots of drops. Bad play-calling/clock management at the end of the half. They just look jet-lagged. I don’t know what they look like when they are playing well, but that wasn’t it. In any event, the final score is more indicative of poor Jaguar performance than Rams domination.

Looked like the Rams took their foot off the gas at 21-0, but then reasserted themselves late in the 3rd. One would expect better offensive statistics, too, considering 5 TDs. Williams only 54 yards rushing, and even with 12 carries by Corum, they did not come close to 100 yards rushing combined. Stafford threw 5 touchdown strikes, and yet only 182 yards passing? If you gave me the game stats (without including TD passes), I certainly wouldn’t have guessed a 28-point blowout, and might have guessed the Jags won if I looked at Lawrence’s yard total.

But the Rams tallied 7 sacks, played steady, largely mistake-free football in the rain, and are now 5-0 against the AFC.

Would that they were better than 0-2 against the NFC.

On to the bye week and a return in two weeks against the Saints for what is hopefully a tune-up, then SF after that to start a tough, important stretch of games against good NFC teams.

Eight receptions and a TD from the TE group, recreating Puka in the aggregate to quote Brad Pitt in Moneyball. I was worried that McVay’s decision to kneel out the end of the first half would come back to haunt the Rams. Glad it worked out, but I wanted the Rams to keep the foot on the pedal at that point. The defense has given up 10 points in the last 2 road game, not to shabby. I was hoping for more from the Rams running game today.

Could’ve been related to the conditions today, but the Rams FG unit doesn’t seem to have McVay’s trust at this point. Will be interesting to see if that becomes a focus of the bye week.

Great to see 5 TDs from the old man with the bad back. When was the last time a Rams qb did that?

The last 2 years the Rams have done well post bye week, and that was with poor records. They enter this bye week at a solid 5-2. Hopefully, they keep it rolling against the Saints in 2 weeks.

Let’s go, bye week!

I would like to complain about
the fact that Stafford threw a couple 1 yard TD passes.

Its unmanly. The Eagles would have tush-pushed their way into the endzone.

The rams are now a finesse team.

Stafford now leading the NFL in TD passes, with 17. Dak has 16. Goff, Mahommes, Rogers have 14.

I expected a QB controversy considering how well Garoppolo handled the victory formation.

That’s how James Harris usurped Hadl.
