Goff had Reynolds with a accurate pass. His passes have been high all night.

Doesnt matter now, but what happens if a DPI is called in the EZ with no time left?

McVay gonna give us the usual... "Time to look at ourselves critically. Opportunity to learn from this. Move forward". Yada yada. Nothing but lip service... No adjustments made.

He needs to quit being buddy buddy out there and start getting into some of these guys azzes for their pisspoor play. SMH

These guys are soft. 1st round exit. Ok, not technically if they get a bye... But same thing.

Rams are in trouble. The 4th quarter looked better for the Rams because the Eagles took off the pressure and were merely stopping them from making big yardage gains. They lose the tiebreaker against the Bears as well.

To his credit, McVay seemed to understand the sense of urgency that the team needs to have from here on out. They've not been the same offense since the bye week. Coming out of the bye, at Detroit, they were clearly rusty, but that's all I thought it was. Figured it was just post-bye rust and nothing to worry about. Then at Chicago, I just figured, OK, playing an elite defense in frigid weather, just turn the page. They'll come home and play an Eagles team with a ragtag group of DB's and they will put up a bunch of points. The fact that it took a late TD just to get to 23 points against a defense that banged up is worrisome for sure. Are the Rams just not a ready-for-primetime team? Are they Kirk Cousins in primetime? Have teams figured something out against the offense? I've started to hear more chatter that teams are no longer respecting the play-action passes that they run.

It would still be a surprise if they lost to Arizona or SF in the last 2 games, so there's that. Gotta get the bye and at least line it up to play the Bears in your place instead of theirs in the divisional round.

If it makes you guys feel any better, probably doesn’t, but, Goff was the only QB to throw for 300+ yards on Sunday. Pretty crazy given what offenses are doing these days.

There are three areas the Rams have declined in, the three most important in my opinion: quarterback, offensive line, and defensive line. Before, when Goff was hurried, it seemed he could still step into the pocket and hit his man. Now, if he doesn't get rid of the ball in about 2.5 seconds, the entire pocket collapses on him and he gets overwhelmed, forgetting which team he should be throwing to. I'd like to see how his time to throw has diminished over the season.

But other times, he just is missing his man. Earlier in the season, he way threading the needle with the best on them. Now, I wonder how often he could hit a stationary tire hanging on a rope at 30 feet. Fisher knows this guy well.

The defensive line has a superstar and a bunch of wannabes who can't ever seem to beat their man. Double Donald and you stop the rush. You take away Donald's sacks and the Rams only have more sacks than all but the idiot Raiders who traded their superstar.

Considering the Rams went all in for this season, this is a huge disappointment.

Chargers will go further than the Rams in this playoffs without any doubt. Chargers have better defense, knows how to win in cold and hostile environment, a tough (both physically and mentally) and title-hungry QB in Rivers, and depth, Melvin Gordon went down they never skipped a beat. this is coming from a die hard Raider fan. When those two teams came to LA, i kind of picked Rams as my de facto hometown team to root for besides Raiders, but the more i watch the Chargers the more i like their chances and i'm kind of rooting for them deep, way deep down inside of my silver and black heart LOL.

Nobody believed in the Chargers and you kinda need that me against the world mentality in the playoffs. They have shown they can win anywhere. Rams had it easy early in the season, but now they are facing the same obstacles in previous seasons....can you trust Jared Goff in the playoffs and when he's getting pressure will he make the right decision? Todd Gurley is also getting nothing in the last 2 games and you kinda need a multifaceted offense in the playoffs. Will our defense show up like they did early in the season?

Goff is faltering under pressure. He is playing like the worst QB in the league since the KC game. Opposing teams are giving their 110% effort and the Rams haven't responded.

The Bears have great team defense....unfortunately for the Rams, it might be too late to build that type of chemistry in December.

SGV-Laker fan · Star Player Joined: 23 May 2013 Posts: 8860

unfortunately all the bad LA sport cliches apply to this Ram team:

soft
flashy offense (well that even gone out of window now) and no defense
QB with pretty boy image lacks mental toughness
does not have home field advantage even playing in LA due to fair weather fans

Things aren't looking good right now. The team has hit the wall. Hopefully they can lock down a bye for the first round and those two weeks off could help.

The Saints haven't looked good on offense over the past 3 games either, though those were all on the road. The Rams need a get-right performance at Arizona coming up.

As for the idea that the Chargers will go further than the Rams in the playoffs, I mean, sure, that's a possibility. However, the Chargers may end up as the #5 seed, and they could have a wild card game at Pittsburgh or New England. No matter how well the Chargers are playing, that's still going to be a tough task. I mean, would they really beat the Steelers twice in Pittsburgh if that's how it played out?

Rams, Saints, Chiefs and Patriots are not playing their best football now. Some of those teams are playing their worst football. But the playoffs aren’t starting yet so there is a little bit of time to figure things out. But the Rams really need that first round bye.

Mason just said on Mason & Ireland that Pharoh Cooper has been waived by the Rams.
