Another two huge third down conversions on that drive to start the second half. Both third and short, both converted on runs. What the hell is going on with this high-priced defense??

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

I think this is coming back.... it looks like Moore stepped out, too.

 

[Retroram52]

The Replay Official reviewed the pass completion ruling and the play was upheld on the TD. Geez.

That's a lot of money for a group that can't get to the QB

we also go to take into consideration who we have as down lineman. Suh, has pass rush abilities...Donald has pass rush abilities..but the other DE Brockers is a 4-3 DT who was drafted to stuff the run out of LSU. He's getting single blocks but not shedding them which is what i expect for that type of player. We simply don't have the personnel to stop the run.

 

[Retroram52]

Longacre returns another KO. He is doing O.K.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

He was totally out.... that's a fuck up by the refs.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

What in the World of fuck was that?

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe Phillips needs to reconsider going to a 4-3 D because he needs to for the obvious reason that we can't stop the run. We don't have the LBs for the 3-4.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Next man up I guess since Cooks and Kupp aren't in the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Reynolds nails the deep ball. We are back in business.

 

[Retroram52]

I think Phillips needs to go 4-3 for the next series.

 

[Smed55]

Now Kupp is concussed???

 

[Retroram52]

Run Gurely again.

lol I've been saying this all year Retro...we got rid of Robert Quinn who was a pass rusher!!!! The personnel we have cannot stop the run and run this defense effectively. I've never seen a 3-4 defense be successful with 220lb LB's...and converted DT's.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Would've liked to have seen a screen to Higbee or Everett on that 1st down.

 

[Jermaine133]

the play calling is getting stupid at the 1....they have 9 ppl in the box and we are running with no FB?? yeah okay let's see this be successful.

 

[Retroram52]

FOUR YARDS FOR A SCORE DAMN IT!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Josh Reynolds stepping up this drive with 22- and 17-yard receptions and a 10 yard run.

I mean it's not a terrible idea. The Rams OLINE is playing top 5 in the league right now and Seattle's line is not known to be great (although IMO they are a better run defending team than pass rushing).

 

[Retroram52]

For cryin' out loud!! Two yards away!!
