At the game with my son, and was disappointed because Rams was out of sync, because of imo, ‘resting players’ last week. I told my kids last week Coach should not rest Rams players, because #1 their starters lost a chance to get better by playing together. #2: Rams offense depends on precision, many moving parts must be in sync for them to do well (unlike some team has dominant players: qb just throws ball high and wide receiver outjump to catch it or running back could truck defense like Marshal Lynch), so the more chances to play together, the better. #3 Rams offense only together one season with new coach, so more time playing together, the better. On the way home, listened to radio, they said Patriot coach did not even rested players last week and they won 4 SB together. Here you only got to playoff 1 in 10 years and you wanted to rest!
People said “It’s fine to rest players, because they don’t want qb and so and so get hurt”, but imo, the better way for this Rams is to play Goff and tell him to learn how to release balls faster, short slants, or try some things to reduce that likelihood, and therefore continue to get better. Instead they rested and thought ‘We are good enough to beat everyone’. Well that would done them in: Before the game last week, I told my kids “It is coach’s team and he is excellent so far, and I would give them benefits of a doubt as long as their back up would not lay an egg, but they did last week, and their starter would not lay an egg, but they did today! Enough for me... onto next season and looking forward to see my other favorite team in town, the Pack
