17-23 for 284 and 2 TDS s more that enough to win...

the Falcons lost because of play calling....and defense..

neither of which are under Matt Ryan's authority.

yeah...no...no he's not the driver of anything....because he doesn't call his own plays...

and you need to figure out whether you want to put this blame on the entire team as you're saying here...or on Matt Ryan as you're also trying to say..

pick a side.

only by people who don't know football and have a desperate agenda to promote...

when it's a QBs fault.... it's his fault..... and in those situations...you're gonna have to show me some INTs....some missed passes and some poor ON FIELD decisions..

I saw none of those from Matt Ryan yesterday.

smh..

unlike you....I have a football acumen that rises above my own personal preferences in terms of MY team...

there are people that believe the Rams should have waited on Shanny and passed on McVay...

those people are wrong...and yesterday showed one of the reasons why (shanny got passed on by EVERY team that had a coaching vacancy this offseason except the last team with an opening)

although the Rams decisions have nothing to do really with Shanny calling a deep pass play on 3rd and 1 with the lead.... but I will address one thing...

the Rams have made plenty of mistakes over the last couple of years... I'd put extending Austin and the Goff trade in the category of mistakes currently....I'd also add the idea of gutting the team of linebackers and running what amounted to a 4-1-6 as a base defense a mistake...

but how Jeff Fisher was handled would not be a mistake in my book...not at all.

When Jeff Fisher was hired by the Rams, he was the biggest available name at the time..and the most sought after coach. He ended up having a #1 overall QB that got hurt and missed basically 2 seasons....

as the Rams headed towards relocation....keeping fisher around for the youngest team in the NFL having to deal with moving across the country was a prudent move. If you change coaches then move...you put the new coach at a disadvantage and you put your young roster in a position for a move with someone who they don't know...and who doesn't know them. The contract extension they signed him to ....wasn't really a contract extension at all... The Rams promised Fisher a certain number of years pay when they started formulating their move to LA, and paying him a 1 season buyout for his trouble was more than within reason..

either way... I'm liking where we stand as regardless of what adjustments we have to make because of the potential actual mistakes like the Goff deal....all those should be worked out by the time we move into the most elaborate and expensive stadium in the country (privately funded) in a couple of years..

we're good..
