Rams really have zero margin for error. Simply have to keep winning. Then they take the division regardless of what the others do.

I just wanted to let you know,

It was a great example of changing a play into a screen.

On our last TD to Puka, Stafford changed the play,

He saw cover zero and called a screen to Puka.

So, now you know, a play can be changed into a screen play!!!

We have to give McVay, Stafford and the offense serious credit. TD drives of 6:34, 7:47, 5:29, 6:55, 3:36 and a FG drive of 4:45. That's 35:09 TOP and they had the ball 3 other times. 12 plays, 12 plays, 11 plays, 11 plays, 7 plays and 10 plays. With what Allen can do, keeping the ball away was paramount. 38:30 to 21:30. And still, the difference was the special teams TD.

I have to say I was actually impressed with McVay for sticking to the run today. He slipped away from it the later into the game we got but, for the most part he FINALLY respected the run and the healthy mix of run/pass is a BIG reason we kept the Bills on their heels.

In deed. However, they have been working this wrinkle for a while now apparently. I am sure now they might have other screens and “can” options. I just want to know why no RB screens in the middle or at the tight tackle position. Especially with this 2 backs.

But that was a monster check for sure.

WOW just WOW!!!
Since we were 1-4 this is the FIRST TIME we actually control our playoff destiny. No matter what the Seahawks do (and they have two very tough games yet to play) if we beat the other 3 teams in our division and the jets, we will be in the playoffs. IF we win 3 of the last 4 we probably will be IF one of those victories is over the Seahawks again.

As I stated prior, it all has to do with the defensive personnel,

and the type of defensive scheme the other team is playing.

That also includes in what PG and system McVay is using.

Remember he wants to us his scheme to look all the same.

Maybe his screen fit better to his WR running the screen game while using his PG & scheme,

because he wants all plays to look the same.

I believe McVay explained that question in one of his meetings/conference/talk shows.

I get all that. Doesn’t explain why he has no RBs screens when he has used them prior - TG3 comes to mind. He can make them look like any play he wants to. I different than smoke, tunnel, outside bubble screens. Maybe he just doesn’t trust the RBs that way.

I remember McVay using screens to his RB in the past after TG3,

As I stated prior, a lot of team's defenses change their systems too,

By having faster lbers, and they would sniff those screen plays out with our RBs.

It just all depends on who we are playing,

but a lot of teams went to the faster lbers around the league.

So, maybe that's why he stopped using them or just not as much.

[ramsman34]

Maybe. It’s one little complaint. And it will be useful against really good pressure fronts. Let the RBs and OL worry about the LBs.
