“RAMS-ALL OR NOTHING”
===========
A strange saga unfolding around the LA Rams as they skid into the final week of the NFL season.
Another bad loss on the road to a substandard team.
A big blow to the Rams key matchup playoff hopes.
A Rams team that turned the ball over a ton in the rain in Carolina just a few weeks ago, self destructed again in Atlanta, buried under a landslide of turnovers.
Matthew Stafford, the superstar QB, had 2-picks and a fumble in Carolina. Monday night, he threw 3-interceptions early in the game.
When you looked up, it was (21-0) deficit and a long uphill run. The Rams nearly flipped it, fighting back for a 24-24-tie, till the Falcons’ Zane Gonzalez hit his 3rd field goal to clinch the win.
The Rams defense, a stalwart in the blazing start, looks tired.
The Rams offense is nicked up, an ailing WR-Davante Adams, the season long health issues to TE-Tyler Higbee, and leaks in the offensive line. Journeyman OT-DJ Humphries kept taking penalties, negating big play after big play.
A Rams team that was the number 1-seed in the NFC just 3-weeks ago, don’t look like they have recovered physically, nor emotionally, from the terrible loss in Seattle. A crushing loss, after seeing a large (30-14) lead evaporate.
And since that loss, they have really struggled.
As we reach the finish line next weekend, instead of hosting home games for possibly all NFC playoff games, the Rams now know they have to go on the road. And how hard will that be.
Big time bad weather venues, at Philadelphia, at Chicago, back to Seattle, or in San Francisco.
Sean McVay’s team at this hour does not resemble the Sean McVay team we saw at the midway point of the NFL season. Problems seem to be copping up in different areas each Sunday, this late in the season, the wrong time of the season.
This Rams team does not look like it could beat its own Rams team from early in the season. This Rams team looks like it would have problems against an Eagles pass rush, the Bears QB-Caleb Williams, Brock Purdy’s bold passing attack, and all things Seattle.
Everyone was ‘all in’ with the Rams till November. Now everyone is alarmed at what they see.
Rams…all or nothing right now.
