3rd & 7…Sam goes down

[GemCity]

We intentionally just had Sam hold onto the ball…essentially, trusting our defense to do their job.

Now, we have the best punter in the league. I see the intent.

Hindsight aside, do you feel like we should’ve at least gave the ball to K9?

It was an afterthought during the game. Premeditated…planned out.

Hard call… the Rams did have the number 1 offense. Giving them the ball back with any amount of time is a huge gamble.

This isn’t a complaint. The results speak for themselves. I look at it as we said ‘here’s the ball…try to beat us’.

if the D line gets blocked that play could have gotten a first down. I'm sure they told Darnold he could take a sack if it wasn't there.

I'd have to go back and look but it looked somewhat (if I recall... I had a lot of IPAs) like a busted play and dude came through the line so quick that I don't think it would have mattered.

Yeah that dude was off like a shot and was all over Sam as soon as the ball was snapped. Really good job by Sam to hold on, earlier in the season I think Sam fumbles there.

 

[GemCity]

True…dude got through the line as soon as it was hiked.

I suppose if the plan is to give them the ball back, we would’ve took a knee…ran some time off…and said ‘try to beat us’.

Just felt like an ‘odd’ interaction.

Rams defensive line busted through and hit Sam before he ever had a chance to do anything. Not his fault. They may have gone to the roll out to the left one to many times. Charbs was missed this game.

Charbonnet was absolutely missed this game. Not trying to dump on Holani but Charbonnet is much much better.

Well, why did the defender after another sack get to stand there and a 10 second air pump, no call???? Pathetic.

 

[GemCity]

I was 50/50 on re-signing K9.

Now, besides a chip, I want nothing more than having our two headed monster run attack back next year.

CharBones injury sucks but, he’s young and will bounce back. K9 and Charbs can both extend their careers by staying on this team.

When you don’t have to shoulder 100% of the load….

K9 is priority ONE this offseason.

 

[Bobblehead]

THought it was a strange play...and then anxiety went through the roof and all I could think of was don't f'n FUMBLE.

Agreed!!! Not to mention, he directly taunted Sam right after.

This pussy ass rule needs to either go away or be enforced fairly.

Personally, I feel like it’s too ‘woke’ and soft. These are amped up, grown ass men playing a game. Why try to ‘tame’ that?

It leads to things like Riqs penalty. I’m still pissed that he hasn’t learned but, you and I know damn well that worse gets said on the field.

But, if it looks as on TV…that’s a no-no.

GTFOutta here. Hate this soft shit.

 

[PateratoWilson]

The point is consistency… either declare on it or shut the f u c k on it. Hate the arbitrary shit on calls. I’m not disagreeing at all with the Woolen taunting call, but if you go back at look the referee that threw the flag on the sideline, he didn’t do so until one of the coaches and I think Adams? came over and were screaming at him to do such. I’m over it, we won… or maybe I’m not over it.

Dumbass play by Woolen regardless. He’s apologized. I’ll allow it… for now.

Riq gets called for hurting the Rams feelings on the sideline.

Kinchens (that was the guy) shakes his ass right in Darnold's face after sacking him and it's no problem?

F*ck off, ref!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. Talk about selective sh**
