Game thread Rams VS Jags. Win or move to Los Angelas

[Smed55]

I totally agree Retro, it's not like they get that many chances down there as it is. Build some confidence, other teams do it to us. Manning and Brady would have been throwing the ball there!

[Retroram52]

I disagree Red_Chaos and agree with Smed55. We have to build our confidence and you do that by scoring in the redzone at every opportunity. I know Manning would have thrown the TD and then sat down.

 

[Jermaine133]

its not running up the score they need to learn how to score and you do so by doing it often. Get the damn points; i will take the w but still should have scored in that last minute. These guys get paid millions; time to earn their checks.

As if a last second TD and a 21 point win would change us. C'mon man! We won. Let's act like it's happened before. Why face a kick-off and play defense for another 6 or 7 plays?

Victory formation is the best formation in sports

It wouldn't change over night but it would be a start...yeah we won; something that we don't see often. As retro said we need to build confidence. We got to practice the check down plays for next week!

There was no need to try and score. Take a knee and win. Geeze, some of you are ridiculous, lol.

 

[Retroram52]

No DK7000 and others. I disagree. As bad as we are in the redzone, they could have ran the ball for the score and continue to build confidence as we are the only team this year that does not have a rushing TD. It would not have been about running up the score. It would have been about us learning to not avert the redzone as we are so prone to do. You only get that confidence by doing it. Other teams do it to us. We need that work and that it is why the victory formation was not good for us today!!

It's hard to disagree with us needing the work. I was thinking the same thing at the time, just keep running the ball until you score. I might of went for it on 4th and 3 or whatever it was. The bottom line, if you can take a knee(s) and win, you take the knee.

Disagree. You don't risk injury or turning the ball over in that situation. Take the knee, get the win and leave. Period.

 

[Retroram52]

DK700. You risk injury on every play in the NFL. Why is the redzone at the end of a game any different? Because we are so bad in the redzone and have not scored a rushing TD to date, you run the ball into the endzone and then you let Zuerlein kick the ball out of the endzone like he has been doing all day. So what if the game ends with the defense. The Rams need all the work they get on offense and nothing should be left to just take a knee and the win and get out of town. In another situation I'd agree with you but we are not that good offensively yet!!

 

[DK7000]

Because it's extremely stupid to get someone injured when the outcome of the game is no longer in question. It doesn't matter if we're not good offensively yet. One fucking possession in the red zone isn't going to change things at all!

 

[Retroram52]

That BS DK7000. Not when we are as bad as we are in the redzone.

Agreed Retro....my opinion is gonna be the same on this..If we were already an established football team (Seattle, San Fran, ATl etc..) we could take the knee and I would have been fine with it. But when so many drives are stalling, this issue needs to fixed and when you can fix it during the game then do it.

 

[Jermaine133]

however its over now..so on to next week.

 

[Retroram52]

My opinion is not going too change either until, like you stated Jermaine, we fix this problem and are established. Everyone is bitching that we suck in the redzone and then when we have opportunities to practice this even running TDs, we kneel down. That is what is extermely stupid DK7000. Not taking advantage of opportunities on offense and I don't give a shit when they are-beginning, middle, or end of the game.

 

[DK7000]

That BS DK7000. Not when we are as bad as we are in the redzone.

No intelligent football fan would want their team to keep trying to score when the victory is just a kneel down away. Do you honestly believe one more possession in the red zone is going to magically make our problems go away? That's absurd. It won't help on bit.

And FYI, we're 4th in the NFL in red zone efficiency on offense. It's not our red zone offense that's the problem, it's the fact that we can't get into the red zone area on offense. We rank 25th in red zone trips this season.

That's absurd to squander opportunities when presented. And you can lose the name calling DK7000; about anyone's intelligence. You keep that krap up and you and I are going to have a little rendezvous. Capeeche!
