How in the world do we get swept by the Rams?

Unbelievable. I just don't understand it. We are a better team than them but obviously we didn't show it.

The Rams play up to hype. They went on the road and beat us and arz. But don't play well against crap teams. There's a reason they are out of the playoffs again.

We need to completely revise our offense against them. Have a st Louis play book basically.

Everything needs to be quick. Play action is almost futile. Misdirection would be nice, like a lockett jet sweep or something.

Turnovers and penalties and not matching their intensity. We miss Norton. This team needs someone to get them jacked up.

Timing. Fisher's Rams are dangerous under precisely two circumstances: At the beginning of the year, when their D-Line is fresh and offenses are still coming together, and at the end of the year when they have nothing to play for.

Also, dude fell down in coverage in the season-opener.

They play us tough every game.
I'm shocked it's the first time it's happened since '04
Every Gane with them is a war.

It's going to be interesting how the off season plays out.

fumbles

Our offensive line is uncompetitive against them. Everything else is flukely bullshit.

they have always known how to play RW and Fisher just outcoaches Pete

Thats basically it

J Fish > Pete :stirthepot:


:sarcasm_on:

I'm tired of the excuses. I'm tired of losing to the Rams. It's frustrating.

How does Carolina lose to Atlanta?

Division games are completely different than others. Coaches focus all year on how to beat certain teams in their division. Others just consider them filler games, why take so much time and effort to beat just one opponent?

Their d-line owned our o-line.

We got "Rammed" as usual...

The Rams are not a bad team and they have a lot of pride. They think they're going to get "Supersoniced". I was very afraid of them at the beginning of the season. I had no idea that it would be the Cardinals that would win the division. Thank goodness I was right about the Niners. The Rams are playing spoiler at this point which is a very fun spot to be in. The 12th Man knows that role all too well. We have no excuses. They beat us up on our own field turf. Good for them. Our team needed this. We were getting a little bit too much love there for awhile. That's not our comfort zone. We like being underdogs.

This. Between guys just getting physically dominated, and guys just forgetting blocking assignments, we still have close games and Fisher has to pull something out of his ass to win games.

I'm starting to think that the Rams' DL is in our OL's heads now. They honestly just looked like they didn't want to block anybody this game. It's been a long time since I saw this many people just coming unblocked into a backfield.
