Time for rational thought: 1. They were going to go for it on 4 th regardless, so taking the penalty or not meant nothing. Going with the 4 man rush and zone that hadn’t worked all day is a legitimate gripe. 2. Despite Tommy yelling about the TO, what would the odds have been of holding a team we hadn’t stopped the entire freaking day from getting a first down? Especially if McVay didn’t just have to run the clock down? More or less than3%? And yes they should have jumped right up and ran another quick play or spiked it after the failed sneak. 3. The calls for McD to be canned are stupid childish reactions. They are 10-3 with a supposed rebuilding team. 4. They lost because we were dominated by their O line, and because our zone did not match up against them.

It would have been 4th and 7 I believe

The Rams would have went for it on 4th regardless; blame the rush 4/zone there. Didn’t matter if you take the penalty. The sneak has worked all year, and if we had thrown for it then MacVay is more aggressive on his calls. We hadn’t stopped them all game; the idea we would at the end is around the 3% Tommy kept screaming about.

They. Were. Not. Going. To. Kick. The . FG.

Hey Tommy, calculate the percentage chance of stopping and offense you haven’t stopped all day, then getting the ball with no TOs and getting into FG position.

Nope. They go for it and make it; blame the rush 4/zone on 4th down that hadn’t worked all day

And if they make the same play they did it would have been first down anyway. My criticism is that on 4 th down they rush 4 and play zone, which hadn’t worked all day

They were going to go for it either way

Right. They’re going to lose to the Jets and Pats. Get a life.

Bull. They’re getting their butt kicked today but the D has played pretty well all year.

How many teams win against an offense that executed perfectly?

Their O line is absolutely dominant today. Keep rushing 4 and not getting anywhere near Stafford.

They are dominating up front

They are simply playing better. Winning every physical battle.

Bills 27, Rams 17. Rams defense is vulnerable to the run so I see us having several long drives eating up the clock.

I’m sorry, but Jackson gags in the playoffs every year. That’s realism.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

You have to give McD credit for building and maintaining a solid team culture. Some pooh pooh it, but culture is critical to success. He has gone through several coordinators, but has 2 now that are sympatico with his philosophies on both sides of the ball. He seems to be getting more aggressive with on 4th down. He still needs work on in game decisions and adjustments, but overall he's in the top echelon of guys in the league. For those who want to replace him I can only say in my life experiences that when you think the grass is greener on the other side, most of the time the grass turns out to be a lot browner instead.

Wings and cauliflower for the vegetarian daughter. Garlic bread to sop up extra sauce.

Bottom line is this: he could have hit Lawrence, but he didn't have to go in with the forearm shot as he did. Using the forearm shot shows intent to injure. No other way around it.

Cheap shot. Really cheap.

I can maybe see Barkley as competition, but for the life of me I don't get Jackson.

You just get the feeling this is a special group, that may just have that special year we've all been waiting for.

Pretty damn impressive

Good decision to not call for a fair catch. Getting 5 extra yards wasn’t worth a potential muff.
