I don’t know... did they get lucky with the tipped Int?
I mean.. Jimmy G’s first Int was pretty bad, but that one was unlucky.
And it wasn’t a bounce that went their way, they made big plays when they had to have them.

the deep pass into blown coverage, to a guy running free all alone, which allowed them to kick the winning field goal, strikes as things going their way, much more than them making a big play when they had to, i.e. the type of stuff that seems to go a team's way when they're on a roll.

The Rams put up 395 yards and 31 points against the Niners, on the road. Even with that pick 6 i'm having a hard time blaming the offense for this one...

[dieterbrock]

24 net.

And who is blaming anyone for the loss?
Team loss.

24 net?
Cmon man... Defense "only" gave up 27

Fact is despite that god awful turnover he had given them a large lead twice, then recovered from that throw to give them the lead again, only to see the defense lose the lead AGAIN and yet he led them to tie it up.
All on the road.
Against a top D

And remember the ST gave them a short field a few times too many times.

Our D played great IMO.

Any doubts about Goff should be dismissed. Turns out he is a play maker.

A few tweaks in the off season we should be back to form.

[Hacksaw]

Certain plays carry much more weight than others. Out of all of them, I can think of 2 very heavily weighted plays, 1 on O and 1 on D that were the most harmful. Actually a 3rd on ST's .. Any guesses?

[dieterbrock]

And?
The points count less, for some reason? He gave up 7 points. Period.
The Rams D kept the 9ers offense below their season average by 3 points. At home. Also.. do you not consider the fact that the 9ers started their first possession so deep somewhat of an issue for the D?
The Rams D also created a couple of extra possessions for the offense with 2 interceptions.

It's a team game. Jared holds his share of blame.

Adding this... the Rams defense held the Niners to fewer yards.. created more turnovers and had SIX sacks! Goff wasn't sacked once!!!

He led them to 31 points.
24 first downs
Why wasn't he sacked? Moved around in pocket, rolled out. He was the main reason he wasn't sacked, the pressure sure was there
The offense dominated the 9ers defense, which also kept the 9ers offense off the field.
The defense played well at times, but was terrible when it mattered most. Twice the offense built a 11 point lead and the defense promptly allowed the 49ers to cut in to the lead.
The Rams offense faced a more formidable defense (statistically) in their own building, where they were giving up 18 ppg.
The fact that you cant credit Goff for the game because of 1 play is pretty silly. It was an awful pass, horrific. But it didn't cost the game, not by a long shot. And Goff's play in that game was extremely encouraging that he could face the D that previously shut him down cold, and now overcome it

Bottom line......

Goff the opposite of a "problem".

Happy as hell to see him do what he did Saturday.

Our special teams was a problem this year. Something changed.

Well said DB, if anything the special teams deserves a lot of "credit" for the loss as well.
A terrible job on the kick return coverage, gifting the niners a FG. Two horrible punts in a row by Hekker, a missed FG. Once again another uneven effort by them, just more of the same from the whole team all year.

The pick 6 was bad. I give the offense credit, though, for fighting back in the wake of it. On the road, against the #1 pass defense, with no running game, they tied it.

In terms of giving up 1st downs on 2 3rd and 15+ passes, that has happened in the NFL only one other time in the last 40 years.
