    Thought the Bills run defense was quietly impressive tonight.

    Held the ultra-efficient Rams RBs to their lowest success rate of the season—and their second lowest success rate since the start of the 2025 season

    mevis missed two earlier and under pressure he is supposed to knock those thru, but that special teams line let the pressure get in and it was blocked. haunting i know

    Waiting for a tweet from some stat database

    Rams had 33 first downs
    454 yards
    0 turnovers
    5-5 in the red zone

    Teams with stats like that were 76-0 … until the Rams blew it tonight

    This Seahawks team is fighting itself so hard to play “complimentary” football

    The run game is a shell of it’s ‘25 form
    Special Team coverage units are a mess
    Their ball security is alarming

    The talent is on display, but the three phases of the team setting each other up for success is not

    the best “pure progression” offenses are based in defender read concepts, that they just give you a starting point!

    I def think there is an argument they make QBs think less, but is that a good thing & does it help QBs?

    The argument “defenses are too hard” so we have to do this, is a dumb reason for doing it, IMO! But I def think you can design an offense always to give a QB starting points and teaching them when to stay there and when to get off right away… but at end of day that is reading coverage and not pure progression in its truest form!

    Love to hear why you are for it and how it the big picture it makes a QB better?

    Chris Ferguson@Cferg_17
    I was Liam Coen’s starting Quarterback at the University of Maine.

    Although we installed “Pure Progression” Pass plays, I was never taught to just read 1, 2,3,4. I was always taught to read coverage and have my answers. I was never left to guess through a progression. It was always who can I eliminate now, where is the weak spot in the zone, who is the conflict defender, where is my best matchup, where is my hot, and simplifying the progression. We knew the coverages week in and week out, which led us to making faster/easier decisions on the field.

    Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
    Love this & exactly what I talked with TL about this week! They do a lot more defender read concepts – even if it’s called “pure progression”! And again I use the term “pure progression” in its purest form, if you are reading coverages and eliminating things based on it, that is full-field/defender read stuff, which is what I believe in!

    I don’t really have one. Well other than the obvious. Meaning, I suppose he’s a decent head coach when things are going right, but has no solutions when things go wrong.

    But it was just blind luck that the kick-returner went down after a 7 second return. The Eagles should have LET HIM RUN FARTHER. The tackler who tracked him down was WAY faster. He coulda just ran along side the guy for as long as he wanted. He tackled him about the 40. He coulda let him go thirty more yards. Time woulda run out.

    I have seen this same kind of scenario play out. This isnt the kind of thing no-one would think about. Marshall Faulk would have known to let the guy keep running. I guarantee he would. Some players just know this stuff. Some coaches just know this stuff. I bet Belichick would know it.

    It’s not just that, though you’re right about the return. But before that, the Eagles were in field goal position and they threw a pass. Inexplicably, the receiver went out of bounds, which of course stopped the clock. If not for that, they could have run the clock down to 0:01 before kicking what would have been the winning field goal (I don’t know if they had a time out but if not they had the time to line up and spike it). That mistake may have been even bigger than either letting them run about 40 yards on a kick return to get in FG position, or not waiting till the clock was at O:00 before tackling the returner.

    Here’s what I think I know about the NFL:

    Good teams: SF, KC, SEA, LAR, BUF, BAL, JAX
    Bad teams: TEN, LAC, NYJ, MIA, AZ

    The other 20 teams are an absolute crapshoot every week. Could win. Could lose. Could be on the right/wrong side of a blowout. Just chaos.

    offensive tds scored and allowed per drive.

    the rams are scoring 1 td every 4.3 drives on avg, a middle of the pack rate, while the bills are giving up 1 td every 3.2 drives, only 5 defenses are giving up tds at a higher rate.

    let’s score some points monday night!

    Quentin Lake is one of two safeties in the NFL with a defensive grade above 90.0 (min 100 snaps played), according to @PFF. He also has the highest coverage grade (91.6) and is tied for the most passes defended through 4 games with 7* (TruMedia).

    …

    * And the tie is with both Trent McDuffie, and CB Amik Robertson of the Washington Commandos. Also, the only other safety with a PFF grade over 90 is the Giants’ Jevon Holland.

    The Rams have 300+ passing yards and 100+ rushing in 3 straight games — first time since 2018.

    They’ve outgained their last three opponents by a combined total of 767 yards — a top 5 margin in the Super Bowl era.

    Perhaps as soon as MNF, that production is going to translate to points.

    Colby Parkinson back to full practice is a bigger deal than most people realize. He’s so instrumental in what the Rams try to do in 13 personnel.

    from https://ramblinfan.com/josh-wallace-quickly-emerging-someone-rams-want-keep-around

    [Josh] Wallace has worked his way up the depth chart. This season he has been the first defensive back off the bench. And with the team carrying just four cornerbacks and Jaylen Watson hurt, that’s significant.

    Thus far Wallace has one interception, was robbed of another, and has allowed only a 50 percent completion rate. He has six tackles and has broken up two passes, per Pro Football Reference, without allowing a touchdown.

    Wallace was thrust into a significant role last week with Watson’s injury. He’s been playing remarkably well, despite difficult circumstances. Although he’s made his mistakes, Wallace is almost always in position to make a play on the ball and forces quarterbacks into tough throws. He has been better than his 56.8 Pro Football Focus grade suggests.

    The Rams have to have one eye on the future. Both Trent McDuffie and Watson are under contract throughout at least 2028. But Wallace is an extension candidate himself, if only because he projects to be a restricted free agent. That means LA can tender Wallace a $3.8 million qualifying offer, preserving the right of first refusal to any offer sheet.

    from https://ramblinfan.com/rams-pass-defense-overcome-injuries-rank-among-nfls-best

    Undrafted cornerback Josh Wallace has allowed just 50 percent of passes to find their target. He has one interception and was robbed of another by atrocious officiating. Quarterbacks have posted a dismal 27.6 passer rating when throwing his way.

    ***

    His stats, laid out:

    • Tackles: 8 combined (6 solo, 2 assists)
    • Interceptions: 1 (with 26 return yards)
    • Passes Defended: 2
    • Opponent Passer Rating When Targeted: 27.6
    • Completion Rate Allowed: QBs have completed just 50% of passes thrown his way
