I do think this though. If the situation were reversed and the Rams could have won except for a non-call near the end like that, my guess is most of us would NEVER let it go.

that’s what i’m responding to.

i would let it go. i’m usually not this sure. but i can say with almost certainty that i would. and if mcvay had called for a pass instead of a run like payton did, i would have raked him over the coals for that decision.

as far as most non-rams fans?

i don’t know. i definitely think it’s slanted toward the non-call, but there’s a fair amount of fans who take the other side. not saints fans of course. that’ll burn for a long time.

again. can i just say milestone game for goff?

this is one of the games we look back on in what is hopefully a long career. all hopefully with the rams of course.

in that dome? against a hof qb?

120 passer rating after the first quarter? having to wear his backup qbs helmet and it’s still cutting out?

whoa man. he grew up today.

And, yeah, if it happened to the Rams that would be another mouthful of ashes. But I accept the possibility of that every time I sit down to watch the Rams play. That’s what’s at stake. I accept those terms.

Two weeks from now, I may have ashes in my mouth.

i would eventually get over it. i got over the 2002 superbowl, and i thought the pats cheated and got away with it.

but the rams lost. there were things they could have done to avoid it, but ultimately that’s the way the game went. nothing you can do about it. the rams lost. and payton made errors that also cost the saints. to me. passing on first down is unforgivable. it added at least 40 seconds of clock so that the Rams could come back and tie. that decision was under his control and harmed them as much as the non pi call. he should be kicking himself for that instead of the refs.

me? if that happened to the rams, i’d have taken mcvay to task for that. just run the ball, and force the opponent to burn a timeout. you’re introducing less variables to the equation and giving yourself a better chance to win. instead he passed. less things were under his control, and that non pi call was allowed to decide the game.

happy birthday, ramsmaineiac.

i like homefield advantage.

i think it was fine.

and it makes goff and the rams’ performance that much better.

#Rams Marcus Peters on #Saints anger over blown pass interference: “If they coach run the football on first and second down, they probably ain’t even going to be sitting here talking about this. … You give Sean McVay the ball back with 1:43 or something, we’re going to score.”

this.

i want to see sean talk about that.

Anyway for me the biggest thing was Goff with Gurley struggling early and a lot of drops that should’ve be catches he brought his team back and won it on the road in on of the most difficult places to do that.

yeah. this is a milestone game for goff.

now one game left to see exactly how we look back at this game by goff. but still a game where he grew up a little bit.

on that pi non-call.

someone at the herd made an excellent point.

the non-call on the goff facemask went in favor of the saints.

who knows what happens if that call is made?

goff has to be better than he was against dallas.

he wasn’t necessarily bad, but he’s going to have to lift his game up.

and that’s with the running game and defense and special teams holding their end of the bargain.

new orleans is a much tougher team than dallas.

rams can’t crowd the line of scrimmage like they did last week.

and the new orleans defense will put up more resistance than dallas did.

hmmm…

i’m getting worried.

i really doubt the rams can afford him. not with all the money they spent on todd.

but yes. phenomenal combo.

they’re actually a better running team than passing team according to stats.

they rank third in rushing and fifth in passing.

i think the important thing for the mcvay offense is balance.

so that the play action is more effective.

before lynch took it over jodorowski was supposed to make dune.

i wish i coulda seen that one.

that film which never actually got made went on to influence other films such as alien.

it would have been a spectacle for sure.

like i’ve said before don’t really care who the rams play.

don’t care if the eagles win and, assuming the rams win their game, the home field advantage goes back to the rams.

although. yes. as petty as it may be. i don’t want the chargers to have any success. is that wrong?
