I think it takes all three main WRs to make the offense hum. With all three, who are somewhat but not completely interchangeable, they can do enough to maximize the gifts and diminish the shortcomings of each.

Johnson, in this offense with the current players, is a decent #4 and okay(ish) #3. Better than I feared he might be at the beginning of the year, but if he was going to be “good”, I think we would have seen more by now. Paired with a true #1 WR or in a different offense he might be better.

Cooks, woods and Kupp are a great threesome imo, they just all three need to stay healthy. If one goes down they need two TEs who can play and then go heavy to maximize their chance to win.

We should have run more.

We should have run Gurley more.

A few toss sweeps or a couple more jet sweeps might have helped.

Kupp, if healthy, changes this game.

Defense played phenomenal.

Cooks missed catches were tough catches. Would have been good if he’d been able to come down with one of them.

Oline was enh.

Goff played like the youngest QB to ever play in the super bowl. Still could see the talent.

I’m glad they played in this game. I hope they get the chance to play it again next year or in the next couple.

It would be very poetic for a Rams ~10 year dynasty to begin with defeating NE in Brady’s last super bowl.

Thanks for asking for such a great present!

Yes, there were some missed calls earlier in the game, but I don’t think there were many blatant missed calls.

The pass interference by NRC was blatant.

Doesn’t take away from the win at all imo. Great game by both teams. Don’t think anyone got hurt which is huge.

I have some hope that Talib will keep him in check.

I will be very surprised if they bring Peters back next year unless suddenly a switch turns on for him and he stops making stupid coverage decisions.

I think, particularly with the run game working, they were intentionally working ball control and time of possession.

It seemed to me that the bad plays (dropped passes/bad throws, etc) and bad calls ended up pretty even by the end of the game.

Happy Rams are going to the super bowl year.

They got a portion of their mojo back. Online played well.

More jet sweeps was good to see. So was the downhill running. New RB was unbelievable. Just about a perfect game with the exception of the one blitz pickup early.

Mixing in two tight ends was great to see.

Probably watch the packers bears Jack. Currently living close to Chicago so it will be on 🙂

It looked to me that this was two extraordinarily evenly matched teams.

There kickoff return was better than ours, but we have Hecker. Their offense was slightly better imo (granted Gurley was a little nicked early) but we have Donald.

I don’t think K.C. Lost the game, the Rams won it.

I’d take the Rams at a neutral site, at even money, barely, although i’d be rooting hard for them to win!

Wow

Perhaps they are attempting to expand their lung capacity this week so they can keep up with Kansas City when they return to Los Angeles for the game 🙂

Exciting game.

Waaaay too many personal fouls.

It seems the rams have become slow starters the last several games.

Wilson is a gamer. His running was, unfortunately, impressive.

The new DE was a good pickup. Need to keep the emotions in check.

Good game.

I’m still waiting for the defense to gel. Could they miss Talib that much?

Fowler made some plays. That could be big in 3-6 games as he gets more comfortable.
