Game Thread: Week 2, Los Angeles Rams @ Indianapolis Colts, Lucas Oil Stadium, Sunday, 09/19/21, 10:00 AM PDT

[Retroram52]

For all of the Rams fans on the Western half of the country who frequent this board, this will be an early start game on Sunday. For those in the East, this game is a welcomed relief for all those late-night games that go into the wee hours of the morning. This is the first road game of this young, 2021 season and Frank Reich's team is coming off a loss to the SeaHags at home. The Rams D faces Carson Wentz at the helm and this game should be a test of how well the Rams are coming together for potential road wins, crucial to post-season aspirations. I hope everyone enjoys this game as we look to see if our Running Game gets turned around and how well the Run Defense has progressed after getting handled against the Bears. I will be working so I'll be off the board on Sunday.

Morning game.

 

[Vitamike]

Morris' bend don't break defense came about as close to breaking without giving up a point as it possibly could.

 

[Vitamike]

Great opening drive by Staff and company!

Cooper with the great ankle breaking route for the TD!

 

[Vitamike]

Raheem's bend don't break defense only gives up three, but Wentz is getting into quite a rhythm!

 

[Vitamike]

Matt throws his first INT in horns.

Don't no what he saw there

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Our D needs to wake up fast!!!

 

[Vitamike]

Well he saw a Ram on a corner route wide beating the defender with the safety in the middle of the field, but the defense got their hands up and tipped the ball at the LOS.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

That's more like it!!!

 

[Vitamike]

Our D needs to wake up fast!!!

How is that wake up call LRF?

 

[Vitamike]

Morris' bend don't break defense came about as close to breaking without giving up a point as it possibly could.

Hope I don't have to say this all game, you do know RM, they allow 3 and outs in the NFL.

 

[Vitamike]

Nice run by Henderson!!

 

[Vitamike]

Stafford with some side arm heat where only Woods could catch it for the 1st on 2nd and 14.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Why didn't Stafford just run that? Jeez

 

[Vitamike]

5' 8" / 207 lbs work horse Daryl Henderson taking over the Rams opening drive of the 2nd half!

 

[Vitamike]

SACK!!!

Rams force the first punt of the game!

 

[Vitamike]

Kupp broke in, and Staff throws the out on 3rd and 8.

I guess they are still working out the kinks, and now the Rams punt...

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Not a good punt by Hekker

 

[Vitamike]

Not a good punt by Hekker

Yeah he got the bad bounce, but still inside the 20

 

[Vitamike]

They must have ruled that Wentz was done by giving himself up but the Rams didn't touch him down, no whistle and he pops up, and gets the ball knocked out of his hands.

With a clear Rams recovery you would think they would look at it, he did slide head first, so he has to be touched.

I get the idea of 'giving himself up', but with no whistle until the ball is knocked out of Wentz' hands, what if he scampers down the field and scores???
