Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Watching McCoy romp through our secondary like the second-coming of Faulk;

Fake punt histeronics at the end of the game;

Repeated Red Zone disasters where we continue to settle for a Field Goal;

Case, the back-up QB, who has no arm;

Opposing D Linemen who come absolutely Unblocked;

And an offensive scheme that has become legendary around the League.

Ok. I'm done with my rant. That was therapeutic.

Start Goff Now!

I totally agree except I give the d-line a pass because they were missing three starters and McCoy is one hellava back.

What pissed me off was the play calling at the end of the game. Let me get this straight.... your down by 7, but you have the ball at the 5 yard line on a 4th down. There is about 6 minutes left in the game. Instead of going for the tie, you elect to kick a field goal, which means you still need to score a touchdown because another field goal will still put you down by one point. If you fail to make the touchdown, you turn it over to the Bills on the 5 yard line and where they are backed up against the end zone and you let the Rams defense step up and hopefully make a play forcing a turnover, or a three and out. At this point of the game it's about field position.

To add insult to injury, coach Fisher fakes a punt and fails to make the first down, giving the Bills great field position on the 30 yard line within striking distance of the end zone. Maybe Fisher should have faked the field goal when he was at the 5 yard line and try to get it into the end zone for a TD.

Bad Coaching lost this game.

That's called Fisherball.

Welcome aboard madman...

Sadly, this is what you get with Fisher's Rams. I'll admit I thought it was going to be a 3 TD victory for the Bills. So give them credit for hanging in there. But it never felt like we could win. Even when we tied the game a couple times. Our situation seemed precarious and I was waiting for them to put it away the whole second half.

Keenum and his rubber arm had been telegraphing those floaters to the flat all day. The Bills were salivating for him to continue it which he did for a pick six.

Hack64 and I we chatting that Goff could have made those mistakes that Keenum makes too. But less likely. Hitch pump and go anyone. Oh that's right CK can't throw that far.

A few thoughts:

Rams run defense sucked yesterday, granted three lineman were out. But it wasn't good against SF or Arizona either. Maybe playing 2 linebackers, one a former safety and another an OLB in the middle has something to do with that. Especially frustrating with the way the Rams run the ball.

Case Keenum is beyond defensible. Two pick 6's in 3 games, laughably conservative in check down routes with deeper route open. Terrible pocket awareness (did you see him quickly bail and attempt to scramble on 3rd and 4 on the Bills 36?). Wet noodle arm. Almost another pick 6 yesterday could have had 2.

I think the Rams WRs have been decent this year, Britt is having a breakout type year and Quick is looking okay. Quick btw was wide the f open and Keenum missed him on what would have been a TD. TEs have not been a factor.

Jeff Fisher is hilarious. So running a fake punt inside your own 25 down 4 is not risky but no way you're going for it on 4th and goal from the 5 down 7? Sounds right.

Do the Rams ever attempt to throw the ball inside the end zone, or on goal and go situations must every pass be a screen and pray that a tackle is missed.

"the Rams ever attempt to throw the ball inside the end zone, or on goal and go situations must every pass be a screen and pray that a tackle is missed."

They can't beacuse of Keenum. He has limitations. He can't thread the needle. They brought in Goff for that reason. Goff is great in the redzone.
