Rams at Cardinals gameday thread 12-13-2021

[Jersey Girl]

AJ Green had an excellent game

I bet Matt Prater wishes he could have had a chance to have an awesome game, too. Kick the field goals!

You would think that the game would start slowing down for Kilff during his third year, learning from his past mistakes. We hear he is a book worm and starts the day bright and early at 5am, he can't slow the tape down and see where his miscues are, especially when it's crunch time and the HC (yes, him) needs to make critical decisions in the span of a few seconds (TOs, clocking the ball, kicking a FG, etc.)... This really bewilders me and separates KK from the league's best like Belichick. #performanceanxiety

 

[Minski]

The entire coaching staff and team needs to apologize to James Conner for that crap fest. Not one other player I can think of played a good game. That dude singlehandedly kept us in this game.

Prater also

 

[Cards_Campos]

Extremely embarrassing performance by the Cards. This team clearly can't handle playing in prime time or at home.

2nd bad loss at home to a rather short-handed team.

We had 457 yards!!! And only gave up 360. We had 2 turnovers. That was game. Think if we don’t throw the first int and kick a fg. Or the other one which gave them a td.

 

[redheat]

Turnovers and their lines played better. Guards killed us tonight.

 

[Russ Smith]

Every offensive lineman should be fired. None of them even blocked for him on that last play. Kyler should demand back every gift he ever gave them.

I think they thought he was going to spike it?

Very little coaching occurs inside of 2 min with no timeouts. That is all on your QB.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Disagree. 2 min rules are drilled into QBs from middle school. If Kyler doesn't have the concept down by now it is on him. Save clock. Throw outside. Don't take sacks. These aren't NFL concepts, they are basic football concepts.

Anyone who says it’s not a little concerning at this point is kidding themselves.

Those, of course. I’m talking the final play where the linemen didn’t block bc they made a bad assumption. Every team I’ve played on from pop Warner to high school to college had the QB screaming one call or another. Simple words that are really different to know if it’s a spike or live play. Here most of the team assumed spoke even though Murray ran around and blew the rest of the clock. That’s miscommunication and that goes back to coaching.

 

[Russ Smith]

could the refs have made it anymore obvious they wanted us to lose? how the hell wasnt that offsides by the defense?

can't have 1 team with too much of a lead with so much season to go.

if you mean Miller on replay I don't think he was offsides, live I thought he was. They just didn't block him

 

[Chopper0080]

He should have.

 

[FB94]

Really disappointed in Buddha and Jones tonight. Basically invisible

 

[Cheesebeef]

This game was an ugly outlier for the season. I hope this isn’t an indicator that kliff and kyler can’t handle big games. That’s two of them where we came in unprepared and played below our standard this year. Doesn’t bode well for the playoffs. Two more big tests remain with colts and Cowboys.

It’s three when you factor in last year’s win and in playoff game... at home... against the Niners who were missing half of their team and down to their third string QB... which we looked pathetic in and also lost.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Kylers TOs we’re the major difference in this game at the end.

That and not kicking FGs twice. You make one of those and we are driving for the tie with much more time left.

Again. That is on the QB. You think Kliff is coaching him to snap the ball with a running clock and downs. You snap, spike and run a set play. QB should know that> Hell, the line did.

 

[TRW]

The Cards left at least 20 makeable points left on the field. Kliff reverted to his spastic play calling, Kyler crapped the bed, the OLine was pathetic and the defense couldn't stop a nose bleed. And they STILL had a chance at the end.

All is not lost. This was just a bad, bad game.

Zero chance this team defeats the Colts.

I think their final record winds up 12-5.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Guys we had 457 yards. And lost 20
On the last series. They had every play go there way. No bad calls and we had 2 terrible
Turnovers. And they had to hang on to win. I think we are over blowing it. Plus I’m ok going on the road. Stats don’t lie

No bad calls? The facemask would’ve given them the ball with first within the 5. That’s a TD instead of a FG and we are getting our doors blown in. Your claim through the second half of a moral victory is just misplaced.

See! I can get behind these posts! Just no trolling I told you so’s

We can stop the run, and the colts run it well. Wentz needs to help us

Dude all those plays count.

The rams didn’t have any bad calls? Did you not see the obvious face mask against Stafford . A TD there instead of 3, and the game was over.

Another 90 days?

Right. Miscommunication. Coaching.

 

[juza76]

Defensive line without Watt is mediocre at best
Our pass rushers are too slow to contain
Hicks playing every snaps even if he
Is the worst ilb in passing downs
Tackling skills is a concern, often give up extra yards
Murray can't make any mistakes or we have no chance down the road
