#Rams missed tackles from weeks 1-10: 27

Rams missed tackles the last 3 weeks: 31

Something has to change. I do believe they will figure this out but that's unacceptable.

if puka had caught that ball at the end of the game, that woulda been hands down the best catch i have ever seen a rams wr make.

i mean it just slipped out maybe a cm??? out of his hands. for maybe a millisecond??? a cm away from snagging a ball one handed with a defender draped on his arm. while dragging his feet and stretched out on the sidelines. that was crazy.

1st half reaction: on the OL they’re missing Jackson, Dotson, and Hav.

i don’t include hav in that conversation. mcclendon has probably played better than hav. but losing alaric and dotson was too much to overcome. that’s 2/5 of the starting lineup.

stafford is not going to win the mvp this year. not even sure he plays next week.

that last second nacua catch that wasn’t a catch was amazing. tutu should have gotten a pi call. stafford missed smith on a wide open most likely game winner.

i think drake maye wins mvp. he’s now ahead of stafford in qb rating. just slightly. stafford is gonna have to play lights out with a less than healthy oline.

and if rams can win out. and niners beat seahawks. maybe he’s got an outside chance.

seattle first in point differential in the league.

rams are second in point differential in the league.

hopefully that changes in the next two weeks.

The Rams expect to open Quentin Lake’s practice window next week.

Rams defense EPA per play rankings with/without Lake:
Rush: 3rd with, 20th without
Dropback: 3rd with, 11th without

rams need him back healthy.

What does it Philip Rivers’ success after a 5-year layoff say about the league’s QB development process? How can a 44-year old throw for nearly 300 yards after sitting on the couch when so many young QBs struggle? Sounds like an off-season project for NFL front offices..

also why i hope stafford remains with the rams until his 40s.

just got this off of reddit.

Stats for the Week

I would be two dozen doughnuts that Raheem Morris is scheming up some special blitzes for that dude in this game.

if for no other reason than to save face.

a lot will depend on what happens with ferguson (who i still believe in) and the first round pick this year.

Terrance Ferguson has played 70%+ of the Rams' offensive snaps the last two weeks.

He and Stafford have to keep connecting on plays like this.

Puka opens up space, and Ferguson gets Okada off-balance. Should've been a game-winning play. pic.twitter.com/xSjyUhBcHA

i’m still holding out hope that the rams can win the division.

both for stafford’s chances at winning mvp and the rams’ chances at winning the superbowl.

i could see maye winning mvp if the rams don’t win the division.

Also, what happens when you hit the player going for the ball after the whistle? Penalty?

yeah. in the video i posted. the guy explains it really well. if a rams player had dove at the seahawks player, most likely a penalty is called on the rams. the play was dead. if players had acted as if it was still a live ball even after the whistle then it’s a different story. at best they should have replayed the down. and the seahawks still may have scored. just a very weird play.

i’m not so upset about it. more upset about the ferguson td that was cancelled by a non-penalty. more upset about the punt return for a td which was not the refs fault. more upset by all the big plays the rams defense gave up.
