Interesting.

London Fletcher has defended the most career passes by a linebacker, with 86 passes defended: https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask?q=linebackers+with+most+pass+deflect+of+all-time

It’s been a crazy climb for Byron Young these past six years, from managing a Dollar General to enjoying a 10-sack season with the Rams.

Good points here by @colincowherd on @TheHerd specifically about some HCs feeling outdated but behind so many "successful" offensive HCs are defenses that win the games: Broncos and Jaguars especially. Rams top 6 both sides of ball https://t.co/8HNUFA6y15

I mentally bookmarked this play yesterday because Drew Brees and Adam Amin ripped BY9 for "taking the sack." In the moment, I thought it would have been illegal man downfield because the Rams busted up a screen play, and it proves that was correct.

Two points I want to express… pic.twitter.com/uA3iEPhgon

My memory has never betrayed me. Not that I recall, anyway.

Anyway welcome to the board, it’s always nice to get new posters.

the faulk trade was a pretty good trade actually.

It was a good trade but not mutually beneficial the way the Goff/Stafford trade was.

IND sold Faulk short for a 2nd rounder. They made up for losing him by taking Edgerrin James, but that was them using a non-trade, homegrown pick to make up for losing Faulk, it wasn’t them getting something for trading Faulk. So for the Rams it was a steal, and for the Colts its was just “time to move on.”

IND took LB Mike Peterson with the Rams 2nd round pick, and while he was good, he was not equal in value to Faulk. That’s not like [Goff + good picks they made good use of] for [Stafford].

The Rams' loss to the Panthers certainly showed some weaknesses, but it also displayed one of their biggest strengths throughout this season: Rushing efficiency.

The Rams rank first in designed run success rate by over 4%, and they averaged 7.7 YPC on those runs in Carolina. https://t.co/8pPyb0IUn8 pic.twitter.com/8AhiFFBUE5

Already in FG range, the Rams took a delay of game penalty on third-and-5. The next play: strip-sack and lost fumble by Matthew Stafford.

Stafford explained what happened on the delay and took full blame for the Rams' only penalty of the day https://t.co/8a3XsZIslL

Rams are frauds. One of the worst losses of the McVay era

Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
I know it’s no fun in the moment, but great teams drop a road game sometimes.

The worst team I have ever covered was the 2022 Colts and they beat the Chiefs in a similar game to this… and KC went on to win the Super Bowl.

The second-worst team I’ve covered was the 2018 Lions and they beat the Patriots by 16… and the Pats won the Super Bowl that year.

We gave this game away with turnovers, anywhere between 10 to 14 in the first quarter.

Starting with the first TO was on 3rd and 6yd on the CAR 8 yd line,
Stafford throwing the ball too low hitting the DL’s helmet and bouncing off to a DB’s hands.
That’s 3 or 7points we gave up.

Then the pick six in which that’s another 7 points.

Offense:

OL:
They played really well, they opened up holes for the run game helping the RBs with 2/TD,
and 152yds in the run game, and pretty much did a good job in pass protection,
except for giving up two sacks, and 2 QB hits.

As for the sacks, the 1st based off my memory,
it looked like a 2-man blitz from the same inside gap,
it was well disguise.

The other was at the end of the game,
after an offside by our OL inside the redzone at CAR 17yd line,
moving the ball back to 22yd line making it 3rd and 10yds,

pressure came from Dotsons side,
while the DL did a stunt on the other side freeing up a DL to get a sack fumble on Stafford.

That’s making it another 3 or 7 point giving up.
Making it a total of 13 to 21 point of missed opportunity for the game.
In other words, we gave this game away.

QB:
Stafford, if it wasn’t for those 2 INT and a sack fumble, he would have had a decent game.
Stats: 28/att, 18/comp, 64%/comp, 243yds 2/TD 2/INT, 1/fumble

RB:
Both Williams and Corum were outstanding in the run game, each getting a TD.
Corum: 7/att 81yds 1/TD
Williams: 13/att, 72 yds 1/TD

WR:
TAE and Stafford have this redzone connection.
But Stafford missed TAE down field, when Stafford did a check down pass.
Stats: 2/TD for TAE with 5/tar, 4/rec for 58yds

Nacua, once again, it was a disappointing lost especially with that spectacular catch by Puka for 31 yards,
setting up a TD at the 7yd line.
Stats: 9/tar, 6/rec, 72yds

There was one play the CAR offense did, that McVay should save for his playbook,
was the TE in motion to lead block in a screen pass to the RB for a TD.

Defense:

DL played well early in the game, but they looked tired in the second half,
Especially in the third quarter, when CAR had the ball for over 13 minutes.

They couldn’t stop the run, giving up 164 yds on the ground.
They also didn’t stay disciplined in their lanes, to where CAR’s QB could scramble out.
They only had 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.

DB:
They did not have a great game. Giving up 3 passing TD.
2 of those TD came off from Forbes coverage,
Both times got beat from a 4th and short downs.

He seemed to be worried of his opponent coming back in to make a catch for a first down,
Then got beat on the go and out.

ST:
Thiccer the Kicker 4/4 XP
Evans just one punt for 56yds in the 3rd qtr after the RAMs went 3 and out.

Los Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
WR Davante Adams extended his streak to six games and tied Henry Ellard for the longest streak of regular season games with a receiving touchdown in franchise history. He also became the first Ram to have six straight games with receiving touchdown in a single season since Elroy Hirsch in 1951 (10 straight).

Adams also tied Antonio Gates (116) for the 7th-most touchdown receptions all-time.
