Again game was done after 1st half td

[ADonaldBeast]

You can't give up fgs much less tds with 32 seconds left. The mcvay Morris giveaway shitshow continues.

I wouldn't say that but it is very hard to win a game when this happens. they are just a better team.

[Rams fan since 1973]

McVay’s timeout with 24 seconds to go had to be to settle down the defense and that’s what came out of it? He couldn’t have been hoping to stop them and get the ball back the way Morris allows the opponent to pretty much march up and down the field.

[Rams fan since 1973]

And both Durant and Kendrick suck!

[Bulldawg]

Completely agree. You can’t blame Kendrick completely. They should not have been on the 15 yard line in the first place. How do you not put pressure on Hurts with 36 seconds to go? Prevent D didn’t prevent &$@$.

Now?l, having said that we did about as I expected. We have to stop committing same mistakes over and over. We came out healthy. Let’s win the next 4!

[bigklein]

It’s hard to ignore the pattern with those last second scores in the first half—followed by a Rams punt to start the second half. They were dead after that. The Eagles’ lines were too powerful, and the Rams missed so many tackles. There should have been many more third down stops.

[NorCal RF]

I don’t care what took place at the end of the first half bottom line it was a 3 point game going into the 3rd. The game was damn winnable coming out of the half……

[Glacierjohn]

This sport isn’t just about talent and strategy, emotion and momentum can’t be ignored. In both the San Francisco game and today, the Rams were on a high after marching the whole field to score a touchdown, leaving very little time before the half. On top of that, they were getting the ball to start the second half. The defense had actually played pretty well up to that point, all they had to do was hold on for one minute or less. Instead the defense crumbles allowing them to score a touchdown offsetting the Rams score and sending them into halftime on a low. Everything went downhill from there.

They just got the doors blown off them in the 2nd.. we cannot, at this point, put together an effective 60 minutes. Some of that is the youngsters, especially 2nd year players we were counting on. Some is low draft picks and lack of cap. We knew this year was going to be like this. We have a lack of talent AND heart. They were picking on Kendricks and he literally did nothing to make them stop that I can see. Nor did the coaching staff. Can't hide the weak links.

The game was winnable, but we don't have the talent, coaching or drive to win it. Their QB played better, they ran better. They have stronger lines than we do. With Staff locked in on just two players all game, made it pretty easy to defend.

Crumble it did, but one knucklehead had a bigger role than the rest
Can't make stupid mistakes like horse collar tackles. This team is not talented enough to overcome many mistakes and one guy keeps doing that. He's not why we lost, but his antics don't help.

[GoldenRam]

But Kendrick is the reason they were there is he not? Yes, it would have been nice to stop them way before that, but first they hit the big pass, which was then exacerbated by a horse collar tackle and followed up by PI. All that game on the shoulders of one guy did it not?

[GoldenRam]

And both Durant and Kendrick suck!

I don't know yet that Durant does. Last year he was playing outside, this year he's in the slot. He's not strong enough to play in there. I know he's there due to his size, but if size was such an issue why draft Tomlinson? They should consider Kendrick in the slot and move Durant outside. Kendrick is bigger and stronger and might be able to help with the run game ala JR last season

Down by 6 with less than 8 minutes to play in the 4th is the definition of “ the doors being blown off” in a half of 30 minutes in length? Really?………

The lack of heart and drive comment is BS period. This team has played their ass off 5 straight weeks. The lack of talent to beat a Philly team right now maybe. But again that “lack of talent” had them within six midway thru the last quarter……..

We were easy to defend in the second half because our play caller again had very little to no commitment to run the ball. Damn hard to for a QB to play solid when your play calling again becomes one dimensional and their D can just rush the QB with no concern of you running the ball. Defensively nothing has changed yet from last year. We
can’t pressure the QB and the secondary isn’t good enough to cover at a high level. Yes that is a lack of talent so far. But again save the lack of heart and desire BS……..

Sorry, but you have to question lack of heart and desire in that second half. It was a totally different game, and they could have loaded up the score but gave us a break.

Exactly!!! There is definitely a pattern.

Kendrick is very aggressive and seems to be a good tackler. He lit up a few people on runs. Not sure if his pass interference issues are from technique or what. He seems to be put on an island a lot. Hurts had way too much time yesterday.

[Bulldawg]

Completely agree. You can’t blame Kendrick completely. They should not have been on the 15 yard line in the first place. How do you not put pressure on Hurts with 36 seconds to go? Prevent D didn’t prevent &$@$.

Don't think I can blame Kendrick for all of it. There were two other players around him when he committed the horse collar. They didn't even have a hand on the guy. (Yes, it was stupid but better than letting him score.)

My biggest complaint is we only rushed 3-4 during the last 36 seconds. I don't care how good you are in coverage if you give Hurts all day to throw. (Yes, the throw in the endzone was fairly quick throw.)

I can agree with giving Kendrick a lot of the blame, but nobody looked like they wanted to tackle. It looked like we went immediately to prevent with 34 seconds to go. We have had that happen at least twice now.

[duanevalle22]

Well the one positive is the punter looked great.

The real issue is Stafford.... He's too slow to get out of his own way, and he just cant put 4 quarters of football together anymore.

Ya Kendrick sucks but we don't have anyone better due to all the cost cutting this season, and yes to let an offense go 75 yards and give up a touchdown with 37 seconds left before the half is something I have never seen in high school, much less a pro team is pretty unforgivable. But to be honest I really expected the defense to be much worse.

In spite of the defense they kept the Rams in the game in 2nd half when our disastrous offense could only muster 37 yards the whole 2nd half.

This game IMO magnified the lack of talent and or experience verses play calling. Prior games had obvious play calling issues. When do you stop blaming coaches verse blaming players? This is a question not a criticism. Is it the players lack of ability to execute the play or the play.

No I don’t and I won’t. Complete BS comment if one thinks this team isnt busting their ass. Again you can say Philly is better than us, which they are, but save the other crap…

I agree with that lack of talent differential especially Philly’s offense and our D……..

But overall like Brook said we are not as far off as some think. Just look at our point differentials in losses and who we lost to………

But McVay is doing this offense absolutely no favors when he has it throwing the ball as much as he has it. Yes I know Philly’d D’s strength was run defense but you have to keep a D a bit more honest than what he did yesterday. 24 pass attempts to 6 run attempts in second half. What was the score most of the second half?………….

[DelMar]

I don’t care what took place at the end of the first half bottom line it was a 3 point game going into the 3rd. The game was damn winnable coming out of the half……

This is pretty much what I was screaming in the 3rd qtr... how can we be so competitive in the first half, and actually look like we could win the damn thing... all to come out and completely flop in second half.

I have been saying we have two teams all season... Yesterday was a PERFECT example of these two teams. 1st half, The good Rams second half... the BAD Rams.

Morris NOR McVay adjusted during the half, but the Eagles sure did... then BOOM. We got exposed and shat the bed... again.

I know I have said time and time again, this season isn't about wins or losses, but more about grooming our guys, and getting ready for a run in '24... but gosh damn it, they sure love to tease us.

Other than the last 37 seconds of the 1st half I though the defense did a great job. The D only allowed 6 points in the 2nd half against arguably the best team in the NFL. The offense on the other hand, pretty much the same script..... Like watching a tire getting a blowout for two quarters of football.

Lots of talk about Kendricks and Durant. Right now, how many games in as starters, they just are not good NFL CB’s. Add that to this D isn’t again getting to the QB and the scheme it runs which isn’t changing well again it’s not a great D. It continues to be a D that is on the field a lot, by it’s own fault a lot, because it continues to be a bend don’t break D let’s see if we can hold you to a FG………

We saw yesterday the quickness of a Sweat and then the lack of quickness so far in Young. This to me is a bit of a concern how IMO Young isn’t showing a lot of quickness. Power and strength yes but that isn’t beating a lot of equally powerful n strong OT………

Last 2 losses offensively in the 2nd half I hate to say it was a lot to do with McVay IMO. For a damn smart football mind I don’t get his vision on how to win these games when they are so close in the 2nd half. I just know the vision has not worked at all against Cincy or Philly. You have to keep that offense on the field and keep the D off of it…….

First off, I agree w everything you just said NC.

McVay and Stafford are truly struggling. The lack of adjusting and flat out brain farts by both of these two are mind boggling. I could not believe how off target Stafford was, EVEN when he wasnt getting pressure much. Almost like his should issues are back. Dont you remember last season, when we all could see his injury was impeding his accuracy... well, I think it's back.

Also, Rams seemed to forgotten how important TOP is. I hated seeing our D schemes, same old Morris. Sean McVay w offense in 2nd half, I dont even know where to start w that mess.... I truly think McVay HATES RB's. Its so weird

Allowing 95 % third down conversion and not being able to get off the field will not help the offense to score points . Our offense was in the damn bench the entire second half because the D could not get out of the field . They had like 3 possessions only . This D can't even tackle . That is on coaching . Defense was equally as bad as the offense yesterday . NOt to mention the 40 seconds TD allowed before the half . I blame both sides equally .

Philly’s offense had the ball for over 20 minutes in the second half. That is not a good reflection on the D. Fact is Rams D could not get off the field. How many 3rd n long did they convert……..

The defense played well enough to win (which is all you can expect from that crew)..... The offense completely disappeared in the 2nd half.... again..... and again.... and again..... All the blame is on the offense IMO.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying Stafford is struggling. Has he missed some passes yep. But all QB’s do. My issue is I think at times McVay sends him n the OL “to the wolves” in this pass happy offense………
