The fake punt call was bad.
I wasn’t against the fake punt. If Buff gets the ball and they get one first down, the game is over. I like my chances of getting the first down as well as stopping them without a first down. If I can find the actual numbers, I will post them.
AgamemnonCome to the Los Angeles Rams–where quarterbacks go to melt down!
Ugh.
Heard some on the radio earlier, watched what I could through RedZone.
I am not happy but I think the game represents more of what the team really is–more a .500(perhaps wild card prospect if things go well) team than a division leading team.
Case with a bad game.
Quick looks great.
The team simply can’t afford the injuries on defense.
The coaching decisions? Questionable, for sure.
All adds up to some 7-9 bullshit, perhaps.
If Johnson is out they have a MAJOR problem.
Honestly, I appreciate Case, I like Case but if this team is going to need offense to carry the defense for awhile, they can’t do it with field goals and pick sixes.
Do you wait for a total meltdown and a 3-5 or even 4-4 midway mark before you move on to Goff? Or do you just say, screw it and start the Goff era now? If you lose with him, at least he’s getting experience. If you lose with Case? I’m not sure what that gives you.
If Goff is hopelessly unprepared right now he should not be the #2. To me, that says he’s ready.
Maybe it’s time.

i didn’t have a problem with the call either. it was the right move.
i also agree that case was late on some throws. at the end they showed how he missed a wide open receiver. maybe he’s not seeing things well.
but my bigger concern i think is the oline. maybe i’m seeing things wrong but it looks like a mess right now.
In fact, he would gladly streak through the grocery store for a gallon of milk. Of course, his streaking problem is for another thread. Sorry I brought it up.
I thought we agreed that was a taboo topic.
And always remember what banning means here. Here, banning means you can NEVER leave.
I know this is just wild-speculation on my part, but i suspect
it hurts the Rams chances of winning when the QB throws a Pick-Six.I oould be wrong.
I only saw the highlights, so i dunno what happened. I do know that if you told me
before the game that Quinn was not playing I’d have said it was a “pick’em” kind a game.To me, the picture that is emerging is this is a “wild-card level team”. I keep saying that,
but thats what i keep seeing. They will hang around the .500 mark for a while, i think.w
vThat pick 6 did hurt…and so did the Gurley fumble….and so did the running in to the kicker penalty
Point is….the pick 6 was a bad decision by CK but overall he made nice throws and good decisions for the most part.
He missed a couple passes but I thought he was on target most of the game. I didn’t really see him 1/2 second behind like he has been the whole year. I thought this was his best showing and the team didn’t lose because of him and that pick 6
Well you make a good case.
I am OK with either call. Philosophically, I prefer rolling the dice without letting the other team have a turn. So, if the odds are close, I go for it.
AgamemnonActually if not for the pick 6 that would have been Case’s best game. I don’t count that second INT after a desperation throw.
Overall he played pretty well. There’s just too much on his shoulders right now. Gurley got a wee bit on track today but according to Rich Gannon there are inherent flaws in the run blocking from a schematic standpoint. Of course, if the scheme is part of the problem the obvious question is if he sees it, why don’t Fisher and Boras?
I don’t know, but the Rams do seem to let defenders go unblocked alot.
I am not unhappy with Keenum’s play. In fact, I thought that overall the offense was better this game, better on 3rd down, better on ‘time of possession’, better on running, WRs catching the ball. The 2 turnovers killed them. imo
penalties 6-40
time of possession 35:34. AgamemnonI am not unhappy with Keenum’s play. In fact, I thought that overall the offense was better this game, better on 3rd down, better on ‘time of possession’, better on running, WRs catching the ball. The 2 turnovers killed them. imo

Here are some other little things.
* the defense stiffened up in the 2nd half, and that was with 3 DL starters missing
* Keenun threw for 8.7 YPA, which extrapolated for the season so far would be 2nd in the league
* Britt caught all 5 of his 6 targets…Austin was 7 of 10, Quick was 3 of 4…75%
* that Malcolm Brown screen was pretty…he’s a playerYeah they lost because they handed them 13 points.
Dare I say it? Only the Rams can beat the Rams.
