the BP has always been to get consistent pressure on Stafford. That is exactly what Atlanta did until they had multiple injuries on their d-line. LA, generally, has long developing impact pass plays. You gotta disrupt that rhythm for 60 minutes.

Except for the fact that there's no blueprint for Puka. This guy is the NFL's MVP for 2025.
If not for a few phantom calls by the refs on key Puka catches that got called back, the Rams win that game.

Puka is great, but he also just lost 2 games in a row. That team is FAR from the juggernaut they are made out to be.
And cry me a river on bad calls with the Rams. It's about damn time the refs miss one on them. F the Rams.
If not for a blocked FG making it a 10-point swing, they win more handily.

I'll go ahead and pass on excuses for THAT team. They choked against an inferior opponent, and it's hilarious.
They spent more time whining and moaning about the Hawks loss than preparing for the Falcons. And it bit them in the a**.
They overlooked a team, yes, even the almighty perfect unbeatable RAMS do that.

To match the lambs. Having a Bijon certainly helps, but they did a great job defending Stafford.

Assuming we play again, MD has some good tape to review.
Imagine what we will do to them next year when we have Crosby rushing the edge and Achane pounding the rock.

Also, if not for that Atlanta defender stepping out of bounds after picking off Stafford, that would've been Stafford's second pick-six of the game.

Puka = awesome.
Crying about the Lambs and bad calls = lame.

Just watched highlight again. NOT a catch by Puka, ball totally moved and shifted before he landed. NOT A CATCH. Hell of an effort, NOT A CATCH.

Puka may not get another call the rest of his career.

Someone claimed they only lost because of iffy calls against Puka. Couldn't disagree more.
The refs have missed a lot of horrible PI calls this year - some where guys were dragged down right in front of the official, but I saw nothing in the Falcons game. I do wonder how they evaluate the referees after the season's over.

Not referring to that play.

4th quarter, with 5 minutes remaining. Stafford pass deep middle to Nacua for 41 yds and a TD, but the touchdown was nullified by a ticky tacky holding, unrelated to the play.

And BTW, I'm not a Rams apologist or fan. Really just commenting on the fact that this dude, this year, is virtually undefendable. He also burned the Seahawks in overtime with a good catch and run.

There's no blueprint, no cheat code and Atlanta didn't "figure him out".

That is all....
