media etc. on the Tampa game + plays

This offense used to thrive in game-winning/closing situations. 13 points, insurmountable 3 and outs on the other side of defensive stops. Just unacceptable lows here.

Cooper Kupp: “It’s very frustrating. Defense did such an incredible job. Goal-line stand there on 4th down. Get an opportunity to run on the field to close the game out – a first down wins the game. The defense knows you’re running the ball. We know we’re running the ball.

and you’ve got to find a way to move the line of scrimmage, get the ball 10 yards. And we couldn’t. And that is…that is very frustrating. It makes you kind of sick to your stomach, knowing that the guys on defense, what they’ve done, the preparation and work that goes into

it. You get an opportunity to win three plays; average 3 1/3 yards, and we weren’t able to make it.”

Rams’ DB Jalen Ramsey, like most of his teammates, was upset after the loss. Asked him if he thought the defense would be back on the field after he batted down a 4th down ball in the end zone in the final minutes: “We should not have been.” The frustration with the offense’s

inability to get a first down and run out the clock was widespread. In fact, the inefficiency of the offense has reached a critical time with head coach Sean McVay said things will change, be it personnel, his play calling, scheme shifts.

Bobby Evans makes me miss Greg Robinson

Sean McVay says the Rams have to make changes because they "can't continue to go on like this" https://t.co/BQHxHZLTzP

8 of 12 Rams possessions (not counting kneeldown or end kickoff) resulted in a three and out on Sunday. Through 8 games, 38.9% of possessions after defense forces three and out/turnover on downs have been followed by Rams three and outs, per @TruMediaSports query (24th in NFL).

I know Rams DEF gave up that final touchdown, sure. But Rams offense gained 9 (nine) first downs, finished with 206 total yards, averaged 3.7 yards per play, and had 8 (eight) three-and-outs. Not a winning performance. Not even close.

You can talk about injuries and an inefficient run game, but the fact that the Rams are getting utterly crushed in fourth quarters, to me, points to something quite different and I honestly can’t quite put my finger on it right now.

Respect for Jalen Ramsey saying the defense did not deserve to go back on the field one last time after a huge 4th down stop.

The offense should have done everything to get that first and close the game out. Stafford and McVay have gotten soft and that needs to change NOW

After scoring a field goal to go up 13-6, the offense had three drives:

3 plays, -1 yards
3 plays, -7 yards
3 plays, 6 yards

An entire quarter of offense. Three consecutive three-and-outs. Negative two total yards.

i've seen more than a few folks making excuses for stafford on this play, claiming it was a very difficult throw – i'm sorry, that's a pass stafford has to make. pic.twitter.com/WScQkpb4pI

2 back-to-back runs by hendo, followed by 3 passes that accomplished nothing – field goal. pic.twitter.com/guedwwWvaE
