    Rampage2K-

    My thoughts from sec 213

    What started off as a beautiful day for football ended up a shocking wake up call for this team….. I don’t know if they were overlooking this team with Seattle coming up in a few days or just simply weren’t ready for that game.

    GZ started things off with the opening kick off out of bounds to give the Bucs a free spot in the 40…. Bucs quickly took advantage by picking on Our secondary for a quick 7-0 lead.

    It was pretty much all down hill from there as you all know.

    Frustrating watching Godwin just eat up Talib all day and Wade never really adjusting or figuring out anything in that game. Winston looked comfortable all day long back there.

    The defense let the home crowd down so many times yesterday on third down it became hard to watch.

    Goff had that horrible pick early that was all on him, but my god the line has issues….The one guy I was worried about ended up ending our comeback as Shaq just blew right by Havs to get the strip sack. It wasn’t only him, the whole line had issues all day. Say what you want about Goff, but the kid battled all day in that game 517 yards passing with what seemed like constant pressure. I will watch the TV copy today to get a better picture of what was going on with that.

    I will say the team at least showed some heart after getting smacked in the nose early with a 21-0 hole, they kept fighting to the end to make that a pretty damn exciting game in which I had no doubt the Rams were going to come back and win…. probably would have been the biggest comeback in recent history.

    The game flow just didn’t call for a bunch of runs…..TB has the number one rush defense in NFL and like 29th pass defense – it was the right game script. If Goff just a had a little bit more protection yesterday, we probably would have won this game…..even after spotting them 21 point lead. Goff and McVay had some mistakes, not like it’s all on the o-line, but just a couple plays where protection would have led to points instead of turnovers.

    Shaq Barrett was a one mad wrecking crew….the one guy I was worried about.

    This is Jameis’s best game since he threw 5 TDs at the Linc in 2015.
    Dude is 25-for-36, 348 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs, 137.3.

    Rams-Bucs is the first game in NFL history where both teams made a field goal of at least 58 yards.
    Greg Zuerlein for the Rams, Matt Gay for the Bucs.

    Goff’s 517 passing yards 8th-most in NFL history.

    68 attempts 3rd-most in NFL history.

    Rams 1st team in NFL history to throw more than 65 times [68] and run fewer than 12 times [11].

    Rams first team since 1966 to score 40 points and lose by at least 15 points.

    1. Can’t win if you turn the ball over 4 times.

    2. I’m fairly confident that won’t happen all that often.

    3. Again and again it’s demonstrated how important O-line cohesion is and how it correlates to gaining rhythm on offense. That’s my primary concern right now. That shit wrecks QB confidence, trust, and internal clocks.

    Did McVay get schooled? I didn’t really see it that way. I saw Phillips gets schooled, but you don’t put up 40 points in the face of 4 turnovers and get schooled. You will, however, look mortal if your offense has to make up for the Bucs scoring three touchdowns with their first four possessions and then matching every score you make with another one of their own afterward. Yeah, let’s just run 30 more times and get a few more 3&outs while the defense continues to let the opposition set a Franchise record in points scored.

    Is McVay blameless? Of course not. I think he went into panic mode when down by 3 scores early, but honestly? I would have done the same thing. If we were able to keep the score close, the run game would have made more than just a cameo, IMO.

    The o-line was awful, but that’s what happens when you have new combinations and new bodies trying to work together and communicate without enough time to do so. That’s why the RBs were in pass-block mode so often. They weren’t really reeling off chunks of yards on the ground anyway.

    The defense? lol. Good job taking away Mike Evans, but there are more players on that team than just Mike Evans. And if you’re not getting home with 4, then maybe try 5. Or 6. Or 7. But credit where it’s due. Their O-line held their own all game against a pretty damn good pass rushing team.

    Goff had a productive (and bad) day. Can’t put your defense in a hole like that – and that many times – and expect to employ a balanced attack. Particularly if you’re going to give the opponent so many short field situations to feast upon.

    Its obvious McVay didn’t think they could run it today. They didn’t even try. That’s not a Gurley or Henderson issue. That’s an OL issue. Now is it because the Bucs front 7 is so good? Or because the Rams OL is not? That’s the question that came out of today.

    Got to love Twitter.
    On Thursdays, Twitter says: “Stop asking Todd Gurley all the dumb questions about his knee and performances, he’s clearly annoyed.
    On Sundays, Twitter says: “Stupid reporters not doing their job and asking what’s really going on!!!”

    Joe Curley@vcsjoecurley
    Bucs have been by far the best team against the run this year. And they hurt Saquon. Anyone who didn’t see this wasn’t looking.

    Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
    Sean McVay was asked if he’s preserving Todd Gurley early in games or for the season: “There’s none of that. We’re doing what we can to try to find a way to win games. It’s not about conserving, we’ve got to win right now.”

    PFF ReFocused: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 55, Los Angeles Rams 40

    https://www.pff.com/news/pro-nfl-week-4-pff-refocused-tampa-bay-buccaneers-55-los-angeles-rams-40

    LOS ANGELES RAMS
    Austin Blythe and Joseph Noteboom were both liabilities against Tampa Bay. Both Los Angeles guards struggled significantly in pass protection and did little to make up for it in the run game.

    This was one of Jared Goff‘s worst games of the season. He had multiple turnover-worthy plays and really struggled to push the ball downfield.

    Aaron Donald was limited against Tampa Bay’s offensive line. He rarely created pressure on passing downs and was generally kept quiet in the run game, at least more so than what we’ve come to expect from Donald.

    Rookie Takeaways

    Taylor Rapp gave up a handful of plays in coverage before going down with injury.

    Forget simply surviving without Drew Brees. The Saints are unthinkably now 2-0 without him, despite having to play at Seattle and against Dallas. And they unquestionably owe it all to their defense on Sunday night — a 12-10 victory over the Cowboys. The Saints sealed it with their third takeaway of the night, an INT by safety Marcus Williams on a Hail Mary. But they also didn’t allow a single Cowboys player to gain more than 50 yards.

    Rams make NFL history with alarmingly bad run-pass balance in Week 4

    Jared Goff threw the ball 68 times, which is the third-most in a single game in NFL history. It doesn’t need to be said that a balance of 68 pass attempts and 11 rushes is rare and unheard of – even in today’s game.

    In fact, the Rams are the only team in league history with 65 or more pass attempts and fewer than 12 rushes.

    I was at the game and you could tell those turnovers were coming. The Bucs were getting penetration on EVERY offensive play whether running or passing. Look no further than the 22 yards rushing.

    It’s hard to say what they were. It didn’t look “flat,” they just looked outplayed.

    Bruce Arians will get a lot of deserved love for the schooling he is putting down today, but Byron Leftwich is calling the plays, all of which are working

    Judy Battista@judybattista
    If this keeps up, will Leftwich get a look at head jobs next season? And Bowles should certainly get another shot.

    NFL Research@NFLResearch
    The @Buccaneers’ 55 points in today’s win over the @RamsNFL are their most points in a game in franchise history.

    J𝒾𝓂 𝐸𝓋𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓉𝓉@Jim_Everett
    Head Coach @BruceArians put a heck of a plan togeter on both sides of the ball for the @Buccaneers. Players kept the plan (mostly) mistake free. The team believed & will get even better.

    TurfShowTimes@TurfShowTimes
    #LARams RB Todd Gurley had five carries today.

    The only two games in his career in which he had five or less carries was today and in the NFC Championship against the Saints in which he had four carries.

    Hoping Rapp is ok. Looked like a serious ankle injury. And Idk if Peters will be able to go after a concussion on a short week

    SOME FOLLOW-UP

    Through the first three weeks of the 2019 NFL season the Bucs are 13th in total offense. The Rams are ranked 16th. Raise your hand if you thought this would happen prior to start of season?

    Winston has thrown 5 TD’s and 4 interceptions, Goff 4 TD’s and 3 interceptions.

    On the defensive side the Bucs are stout against the run, only allowing an average of 70 yards rushing per game. Goff may not get a lot of help from the running attack in this one limiting the effectiveness of play action.

    Bowles is one of the best defensive coordinators in this league and has vast experience inside the NFC West. Unsure if Bowles will resort to borrowing the Patriots philosophy as Browns did last week with his prior experience but certain he will recognize Rams struggles when offensive line faces a six man front and total frustration at times when this 6 man front shifts and overloads. At the very least I expect Bowles to show some 6 man fronts before the communications are cut off at 15 seconds.
