I’m sure the cowboys could have done that

Even if your the greatest team in football it guaranteed nothing when one game can end your season.

But you can put yourself in a position to win by continuously getting to the playoffs and making deep runs. Eventually you’d probably win something.

Now for a franchise that used to be judged on Super Bowls… we make it to a division game and call it a successful season. That’s how low the bar has gotten. The expectations around this team isn’t about winning. Hasn’t been for a while

There won't be an asterisk in the record books that states fans on the zone didn't think the 2 SB teams looked good tonight, the Rams gifted the game or any thing else related to sour grapes because the Cowboys didn't make it. Rams deserve credit for winning 4 playoff games , maybe one day Dallas can do the same.

I have zero anger towards how the Rams won vs how the Cowboys conduct operations. But the Rams offense looked very similar to the Cowboys at times this season with no running game, but as soon as they moved to hurry up they came away with points.

There are some differences in that the coaches and Dak need to build in more targets to their #1 receiver. Cooper could have been a bigger factor but only had 3 games all season he was targeted 10+ times. Cooper Kupp meanwhile was targeted 10+ times 14 times. Way too much money tied up in Cooper not to use him frequently.

Cooper is as good as Kupp. You need a QB willing to let it go. Donald is beyond anything we have on the roster.

I like Cooper but Kupp is a tier beyond. Right now Adams is the only WR is the same league as Kupp. Cooper is a top 10 WR in the NFL and Kupp is top 2.

Because every time they needed a penalty on their game-winning drive, they got one.

Agree with 99% of Jake but this. Not sure how this is an issue when Cincy was gifted the lead on the worst non call of the game. Plus how were they given calls when in their first TD to win they hit called for a weak O hold that was offset by Kupp tacked by 2 guys followed by a TD catch called back where he was hit in the face?

Stafford was clutch...that's all that mattered. You have to be elite when the game is on the line and he showed that vs. Tampa, SF, and Cincinnati.

Dak had his chance (twice) vs. SF

Yep… stafford made a clutch throw to win them the Tampa game and in both the SF and Cindy games had game winning drives by getting the ball out to his best players.


Dak (without SF best two defenders and a weak secondary) was throwing to zeke and Cedric Wilson with the game on the line.

The Rams just cemented my opinion of what a clown show the Cowboys organization is.


STAFFORD, COOPER KUPP, and AARON DONALD single-handedly won the Rams a championship.

how?

because the Rams insisted on giving the ball and entrusting the game to their stars.

You think Dak would have made that drive? Would he have thrown to any of his top guys? Nope. “take what the defense gives you”, right? What a joke.

You think Tank Lawrence would step up when a championship is on the line? HA. That concept is beyond laughable.

Everyone in the world knew that Kupp was all Stafford had, and yet, they force fed the best WR the ball and won the whole damn thing.

The cowboys are not even close to the same caliber as either of these teams.

Why was I cursed to being a diehard fan as a child?
what u say is true, but you are forgetting the coaches!!

The rams shut out the bengals after they made def adjustments mid 3rd qrt. If the center slid over to help block donald they ran a stunt into that gap.
They also moved donald around. That last play he came from the left side on a bull rush. Bengals should have had te or someone to help block donald,
and then maybe they get that first down.

McVay was calling the Off plays, and at end he forced ball to kupp, who came thru, but it was bad defense by bengals also.
you cant expect awuzie to cover kupp by himself in that situation.
Also the previous kupp td it looked like a marinelli zone defense and no one was on kupp, and again 1 guy picked him up or tried, but he was too late
and kupp was open for easy td.

So the coaching made it possible for rams star players to have success.

Our coaches cant do that. I think they even hinder them.

dak doesnt call the plays or design them or the game plans lol
Ram coaches are way better at helping their players be good.
McVay > kellen
McVay > MM
