The offense did their job, and some, can we stop?

Dak missed a few throws. Everybody said the key to this game was Zeke. Zeke had 20 carries for 47 yards. Dak missed a few throws but more than enough made up for it, and had we got the ball back i'm positive he goes down the field and scores again.


Aaron Donald was basically neutralizes for a majority of passing downs. We got a previous 4th down running the ball so to chew out the coaching staff for running it is silly. Your defense giving up that many rushing yards is ridiculous. One of the few things i think hurt our game was the mixing and matching of our line backing group. That bothered me a ton.

Couldn’t say it any better.

Fans think any time you lose it’s the OCs fault even when you give up franchise records defensively.

The passing game had guys open all night which discredits the notion the scheme was terrible.

And if they’d had an incomplete pass on 4th and 1 everyone would be killing them for not running Zeke.

The offense didn't do their job. The defense didn't do their job and the coaches didn't do their job. This was a team failure in every aspect.

The Rams didn't do anything super tricky and didn't seem to run a different game plan....they just seemed to be better.
It actually reminded me of what we do. We hardly out coach teams offensively, we typically just run until they're tired and start getting more and more yards.

So guys were open all night and it didn't turn into production?

What Job? Game was a copy of our Playoff loss 2 years ago vrs the Packers....the offense woke up a dollar short and a day late....our passing offense gives new meaning to the word "inept"

Rams secondary blows and Dak only scored when Talib went out and they got a guy blowing coverages all year and the other time in prevent, while checking down the whole time and taking all the time in the world to do it, meaning playing right into the Rams intent when playing prevent..

1 for 10 on third down with the Rams daring Dak to beat them..

Even though the offense was ok, its still way too simple. Not enough motion to help Zeke out. The rams had some type of motion or misdirection on almost every play they ran, it gave me a headache and I was just watching. Obviously the defense was the weak link tonight but it's the NFL and you have to get better each year or you fall behind. Time to get a new mind in here to run the offense and try to take it to the next level.

We couldn't run with the best RB in the league against a team that gave up more than 5 yards a carry in the regular season.

We were down 23 to 7 in the third. A stretch of 4, 3, 9, 3 and out after our first score.

Yeah, we made a comeback, but that's against a prevent defense feeling pretty sure of their lead. For a while they were playing 10 yards off the WRs. We sniveled some garbage time yardage and points.

And even ignoring the garbage time factor, the Rams scored less than 22 *once* this year. Scoring 22 wasn't doing what the offense needed to do to win the game.

And the Rams gave up an average of 24 points a game. They don't have a good defense. Particularly bad against the run.

15 points with 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter. You guys are on crack. How is that remotely acceptable

If that the new standard. We try to score like 18 points? It’s a team loss. Defenses sucked as well

Going 3 and out most of the game is also the new standard ... its all on the defense .:muttley:

I get you're trying to be positive, but we have to outscore the other team.

if they score 40 then 41, 60 then 61, this was a team loss.

Hard to do if you don't get the ball back. You are asking the offense to be perfect because the defense has made it so easy for the opposing offense to be perfect.

Look at what happened to Luck and the Colts. Luck and the Colts played worse going against a defense worse than the Rams.
