Game Thread: Week 5, Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams, 10/08/17, 1:05 pm PDT

Maurice Alexander is going to lose his starting position with that type of play by John Johnson.

 

[Retroram52]

Time for Zuerlein.

 

[Smed55]

I don't have a problem with Austin, ya he seems to be muffing quite a few punts lately. But he is a threat in the kicking game, he's probably had more TD returns called back because of penalties than he has that have counted and he still does have his share of those. Hopefully the coaching staff is figuring him out in the offense, although I wouldn't mind seeing Kupp out there more

 

[Retroram52]

We should have scored a TD but I guess we always have Zuerlein this year.

 

[Vitamike]

We have the old gold and blue unis today and the refs are calling the picky stuff.

Guess who had to reschedule the home game today?

One guess? LOL

They missed a false start on Seattle on the very first play too retro.

 

[Vitamike]

Oh how the tide can change in a hurry.

What's up OT?

Welcome to the Rams boards!

 

[Smed55]

Donald was being held there

 

[Smed55]

This will be one of those scary games. We have pretty much dominated, yet we are only up 3. That pass Wilson barely got off before Donald was about to sack him was huge, the holding on Donald that play allowed him the fraction of a second to avoid being sacked!!!!!
Plus not getting the Gurley TD early hopefully doesn't screw us!!!

 

[Vitamike]

A lot of that going on.
Don't these officials no that Fisher is gone?

 

[The Oldtimer]

What's up OT?

Welcome to the Rams boards!

Thanks Vita. I've been a Ram fan since 1954. I have been in the Coliseum many times in the past 60 years.

 

[Smed55]

That's a good start this drive!

 

[Retroram52]

Higbee should have caught that football.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Donald was being held there

Yep.

 

[Smed55]

Well that was a waste of great field position

 

[Retroram52]

WTH? The football went out of bounds at the 16 not the 22 yard line.

 

[Retroram52]

When is this team going to get a killer instinct?

 

[Vitamike]

I was kind of miffed by the end result of a play where the officials were to determine whether or not the play was an actual touchdown or not. If Gurley was ruled out of bounds on the play instead of ruling it as a touchdown, then Pete has to use his challenge flag to win the turnover.

They don't look at a play for possession when an actual fumble occurs and is NOT called on the field to see for instance if a player made the first down or not. Why is this different?

If there was a clear recovered fumble in that example, they don't simply give the other team the ball when reviewing a first down or not, they just look at whether the player gained the first down.

After cooling down (LOL) I thought about it, and the only thing I could come up with was they had to spot the ball and in doing so, the spot resulted in a touchback. (Which is probably it)

I guess we would have been better off if they called Gurley out of bounds, because Pete would have had to use up one of his challenges. (Even when they win those challenges, they are not unlimited of course)

Still, I don't see how they use a touchdown review to call a fumble? No fumble was called on the field, and Pete should have had to use his challenge to get that fumble looked at.

The way he was smiling about it, as if he had them look into that too, makes me sick because that's probably what happened.

 

[The Oldtimer]

This game is going to get interesting in the 2nd half.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice sack by Longacre!

I hear ya, it was the right call, but still SUCKS
