A depleted clock is more valuable than style points.

It isn't style points when your team adapts the mentality of their soft ass coach. They need to stop playing to fukin lose, be dominant all phases for 60 mins...not 32, not a quarter, but 60. Id be happy then, that way you don't blow 19 point leads because you lack the killer instinct to finish the game.

I don't think that was about killer instinct at all. It was a failure in execution (Rams and refs). If the Rams had forgone one of the FGs in the first half to go for first down and been held, they would've been in even worse shape late.

The problem wasn't that the lead was only 19 pts but instead that they couldn't hold a 19 pt lead.

then you dont have the mentality to put them away. IF you arent executing then whats the issue?? after you gave up 10 straight where is the rallying cry?

On the Locked-On Rams podcast with D. McClain and Travis Rodgers, they mentioned that many fans that called-in after the game were citing and complaining that McShitFerBrains has never fixed the "soft", "No-Killer-Instinct" glaring issue, and stopped doing the kneel-down crap!!!

Travis Rodgers mentioned that if the Rams would have converted on two of the three FGs in the Second Quarter, the score for the First Half would have been 30-33-7, instead of 16-7 and the Second Half should have then been a dominant continuation of even more scoring!!

Does anybody in the league think the Panthers should have stopped scoring and did the kneel-down in the Third Quarter when the lead was 20-0?

Nope, nobody I know of and the Panthers went on to beat the Falcons 30-0!!

Momentum is a real thing. When the Rams repeatedly had the Eagles in their own end, they couldn't get anything going. Once the Eagles started moving the ball, the Rams defense couldn't get anything going.

It's not a matter of will or mentality. It's a matter of execution and play calling. Continuously blitzing and not getting home leaves 1 on 1 behind it for Brown to bulldoze some small DB.

Rallying cries are for collegiate sports. It's not like the Rams were playing the Clemson Tigers, they were playing the defending NFL champions. Eventually that momentum will turn (which has been to the Rams benefit the first two games as they started slow). This time they got a bit of their own medicine (and some shady officiating and horrifying FG line play).

The Rams didn't intentionally stop scoring. They got shut down (through a combination of Stafford bad passes, play calling, officiating, and yes Philly defense).
