Offense:

We have to start with the OL,

They played outstanding.

Opening up holes for our RBs for 107 yds.

And kept Stafford clean for most of the day,

No Sacks and only 4 QB Hits.

McClendon should be the backup on the T for the rest of the season,

at least on the RT.

While Limmer should be the starting C for the rest of the season.

The Offense was playing outstanding this game,

A trio of Staff, Kupp & Puka
Stafford: 4 TD, 295yds/passing yds, 27/Att, 18/Comp for 66%. 142.7/rating.
Puka: 7/rec, 123/yds, 1/TD
Kupp: 6/rec 106/yds, 2/TD
Williams: 15/Att, 86/running yds
A well-balanced game in passes vs runs: 27/Att in passing, 24/att in runs

Defense:

Our front five D are looking really good.

Our Defense: had 3/sacks, 5/QB hits, 6/TFL, 1/INT

2/sacks & force fumble by Fiske and recovered by Turner.
1/INT by Kinchens

Speight: getting more playing time and looking good in the middle.

ST:
Played good except for that missed FG by Karty.

Who was the last Rams safety to have 4 + interceptions in a season? Atogwe?

[Haden]

Good assessment. I agree on all points. Karty is causing worries.

With all of this good play the W looked improbable for a bit. The Pats haven't been very good lately but they definitely had a chance to win this one. There is room for improvement and some very good play...at times. Hopefully improve is what they do.

The Pats have been good lately, handled the Bears easily 19-3.

The o-line played well and boom offense clicked. Next week we cant make the errors we made today or we dont have a chance.

Kitchens is still learning where to be, but what I do love is he brings the boom on tackles.

another game where they won, but could have easily lost, and to a bottom tier team.
still not dominating in any way that you see from top tier teams
this teams ceiling is 10Ws and a playoff birth and thats not good enough if you want to compete with the best.
Jim Harbaugh is now the best football coach in LA, SM is not fooling anyone anymore with his game planning and play calling
Sunday will show a lot and I expect Phil will win without too much trouble

Really 10 weeks into his tenure with the Chargers and Harbough is better than Sean McVay?? This after they almost choked last night and would have if the kicker could make a kick.

McVays Rams put up 28 points with no sacks. The Patriots pounded the Bears in Chicago 19-3. Needless to say I will stick with our SB coach.

All the years (decades) that I have watched the NFL there is only one thing true. Any NFL team can beat any other NFL team in any given game. Coaching, roster depth, luck all factor in. Now add in player temperment or mental state and upsets can happen if the so called "better" team simply doesn't take care of business.

I actually had Drake Maye rated higher in the draft than Caleb Williams simply because of his style of play. Maye IMO will have a longer and perhaps a better career. He's a strong armed, accurate QB who can move when he needs to. He's extremely coachable and isn't scheme limited. IMO Williams is far more scheme limited and it's why I rated Maye higher. Also Williams probably plays on a more talented roster.

The Pats lost IMO because of questionable coaching decisions which IMO has been a huge problem for them all year. They are a team better than their record. If they don't stupidly and arrogantly play that cover zero, the Rams might have lost that game. Had their OL been better they might have won (we saw the havoc wrought with one inept OL player on the Rams against the Fins). IMO had they played their current OL the Rams beat Miami. But they didn't did they? They lost to a team with a worse record.

You take the wins you get and move on from the losses. One game at a time is so very true in the NFL. By record the Rams shouldn't have a chance against either Buffalo or Eagles. But I think the Rams will be in those games with a chance to win. It will come down to who makes the biggest mistakes. Allen is viewed as one of the best QBs in the NFL. But I've watched him make mind numbing mistakes. The same can be said about the Eagles. If the Rams can crank up their offense early and keep the offensive pressure on, the Rams most certainly can play with those two teams.

A team's record is a byproduct of a whole lot of things over and above roster talent. The Rams are a perfect example of that as they are a team that is better than their record especially when healthy.

Karty is a good PK but he missed an absolute chip shot FG. If he makes that the game would never have been in doubt. The margin for error is small in the NFL. Jackson by his poor play IMO cost them the Dolphin game. Karty with one missed FG might have cost them the game in NE. But then the Pat's coaches gave it right back with their crazy stupid cover zero against a 16 yr vet, potentially HOF QB in Stafford. Yup in any given game the so called better team might not play like it.

A dub is a dub and I will take them anyway they come.

I agree with the OP but my comment. I know when I was on the field we constantly called out and directed our teammates to the action, i.e, where’s the ball? I also know the level of noise, the speed of the game and other factors make this a challenge. I’ve seen the rams 4-5 DBs constantly trailing WRs with Rozeboom standing in zone not seeing the WR slip behind him. No chance the DBs can catch up and the WR catch & run for a big gain. I know that’s the achilles’ heal of zone but it just seems the inexperience and lack of communication is killing us.

Now my Q. We didn’t make any moves from outside (that worked out) to improve our CB situ. How then do we improve from this point enough to make the playoffs?? Schemes, personnel changes, anyone on the PS worth promoting?

[snackdaddy]

I'm thinking Limmer will be the starting center the rest of the way. Hav will be back. He should stay the starting RT. Although it is nice to have capable backups. J. Jackson can be a nice vet backup at guard or center. McClendon held his own. A nice RT backup. If this team stays healthy the rest of the way I can see another second half run. After Philly and Buffalo I don't see anyone who is considered better than us. If we win one of those two games we'll be set up to make that run.
