Can you imagine the feelings on the team
and among the fans, if the Rams had punted
and the Seahawks had marched down the field
and kicked the FG: 29-28

Rams blow a 21-3 lead.

Imagine the mood on the message boards 🙂

O dear.

The Chief game looks inter esting.
Alex Smith is good but he aint mobile.
Maybe Ogletree wont wiff on him.

“…The Rams call the play “Mountaineer” because it hinges on the two former West Virginia teammates, Bailey and primary return man Tavon Austin. Austin sells the punt on one side of the field while Bailey gets the cheese. Three times special teams coordinator John Fassel ran film of the Chicago Bears working the decoy against the Green Bay Packers several years ago. With Devin Hester as decoy, the play worked to perfection — except for a Bears holding penalty that negated the trickeration….”

Rams must be super well-disciplined for such a lousy team! They were called for a whopping total of TWO penalties in that game!!?? One was the personal foul on Quick in the 1st quarter (immediately erased by a stupid personal foul penalty by Simon on the next play), and an intentional delay of game penalty in the 4th quarter before a punt. We were flagged for TEN penalties. St.Louis played one heck of a clean game in all facets…..or did they? I don’t buy that for one ####ing second.

Gary01
@EasternShoreMsFan There were a few bogus calls, sure, but Seattle led the league in penalties last year too – it’s what they do. Their o-line is garbage, though – 8/10 of those penalties were probably holding or procedural calls against the crap o-line.

Earl Thomas: ‘We’re playing the referees too’
Posted by Jayson Jenks

ST. LOUIS — Seahawks safety Earl Thomas was asked if he was surprised if the Rams’ fumble at the end of Seattle’s 28-26 loss wasn’t reviewed. It looked as if Sherman had recovered the fumble initially, but the Rams’ retained possession and ran out the clock.

“Yeah,” Thomas said. “At least give us a shot. But you know what? I’m not surprised with the referees this season. If you really look at some plays, we’re playing more than our opponents. We’re playing the referees too. I don’t care what anybody is saying. Something is wrong. That needs to be brought up.”

Thomas was asked if the refs gave the Seahawks an explanation: “There’s never an explanation,” he said. “It’s kind of crazy how football is turning out now. You give a guy, just because he wears a white and black shirt, he has authority of the game. Man, they need to stay out of it — that’s my key — and let us dominate.”

Thomas also pointed to special teams and the fact the Seahawks weren’t disciplined, but he also said, “We’ve got to understand who we’re battling now. We won everything last year. We’re battling the referees now. I don’t know what’s going on with that. We’ve got to cut out the penalties. That’s what’s hurting us.”

Dean Blandino, the NFL’s vice president of officiating, tweeted an explanation of that final fumble:

==============================
Laram — on Ogletree

but what AO did today goes beyond a “bad game” to me.

Alec Ogletree was a perfect example of a “coach killer” in today’s game.

I will disregard the missed tackles for this illustration, those happen far to frequently in the NFL.

But the misplays he had on Russell Wilson were totally inexcusable.

The Rams had AO spying Wilson in this game and Wilson ended up getting his career high in rush yards.

When you have contain, you learn in Pee Wee ball that you don’t give up the outside, you turn everything inside to your pursuit.

WTH was AO dipping inside and giving up the corner???

First its poor technique, and if given the choice, what do you think a qb is going to choose, inside or outside??

Russell Wilson is smart, he knows the sidelines is his friend, TURN HIM INSIDE!!! banghead

Well, Mason was a Fumbler in college
and now he makes the second most
boneheaded play of the year.
(JJ’s burning was the worst)

You simply canNOT fumble
in that situation.
I read people saying “its a learning experience” —
Nah. Thats the kind of thing a pro
ALREADY knows.

I dont think he’s gonna ‘learn’ not
to fumble at critical times — i think
he’s just a fumbler.

I hope the DC now understands the DL cannot get pressure on the QB with just a 4 man rush. WE need to change our base defense or this will continue especially on the road. We were seriously out coached in this game. Special teams killed us. Russell Wilson is the ONLY reason we were even in this game in the 4th quarter. That and St louis played defense like we did the whole game and allowed us to get back in by dropping instead of harassing Wilson like they did in the 1st half. On OF most of our problems would be solved if we had 2 guards that can at least slow down the rush. I said MOST. Turn out the lights the party is over for this team.

That was not an easy throw

Hekker is just awesome.

Why The Rams pass rush has vanished

In response to the “getting the ball out quickly” theory,
La, says this:
============================================
Laram
Yeah thats a myth, or an excuse that people are using in an attempt to try an explain away the lack of sacks registered to date.

“Well teams are getting rid of the ball quickly”.

That means three step drops, right?

Look at the G. Jennings TD in the back of the endzone.

Look at the Dez Bryant play

Look at the T. Williams play

Look at the J. Matthews play (2nd option)

Look at the R. Cooper play

Look at the A. Boldin play

Look at the M. Crabtree play

Look at the B. Lloyd play

Do you think any of those were 3 step drops, get the ball out quickly? They were not.

Its not the offenses getting the ball out quickly, its the Rams.

He applies about as much pressure as a snowflake. Yeah, Quinn is being held at times. He was last year too but it didn’t keep him from getting 19 sacks. Bottom line is Quinn and the rest of the d-line aren’t performing. I’ve watched Quinn and I’ve seen him get held, but I’ve also seen him get driven past the pocket. I’ve seen him get pushed down, knocked backwards and completely neutralized. All great d-lineman throughout history have been held, but they still managed to excel as pass rushers. I don’t know what Quinn is doing differently this year or if this is about Williams’ defense but something has changed from last year to this and it can’t be explained by being held.

Maybe the OT’s have figured him out in some way.
I dunno.
Or maybe he didnt come in with the same fire
this year.
Or maybe the weddings of zack and zooey’s
relatives have affected him in some way.
