After the Stafford fumble I sat down and truly lost confidence. Not for the game, because I knew we could still win. But for the Super Bowl. The rams need a miracle for stafford to stop these turnovers for the playoffs. It seems it’s just not going to stop. On the plus side, I was by Odell’s mom and she was awesome. If I’m being honest I think even she was worried about Stafford lol OBJ came over after the game was able to dap him up. It was a cool experience lol Thats cool you got to dap OBJ. I definitely havent lost confidence in Stafford. In the playoffs its about survive and advance. Its not going to be pretty. If I told you two seasons ago that the Chiefs would win the Superbowl despite trailing every single playoff game, would you believe me? Nope. They trailed by 24pts at home to the Texans, they trailed by 10pts at home to the Titans, and trailed by 7pts in the 4th quarter of the Superbowl to the Niners. The ability for Mahomes to rally the team from behind every game and end up the Superbowl champs says alot. He definitely wasnt perfect. Brady wasnt perfect last season in the playoffs either but they won the Superbowl too. So as long as this team can play good football as a whole and step up big when the big moments call for it then the Rams will be fine. Stafford continued to make the big plays when the Rams had to have it. He continues to be the best QB in the 4th quarter. We think of Goff as someone that when he struggles early its going to be a long day for the Rams. Well Stafford has shown that no matter how badly he struggles early that he still can lead the team back to win in the end. Yes his turnovers can come back to bite the Rams if he dont limit them but we also know what Stafford is capable of too when he is on. I think you questioned if the Rams are capable of winning 4 straight games in the playoffs? Well they are on a 5 game winning streak so they are more than capable of stringing 4 straight wins in the playoffs.

Flounch Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Is there some explanation why Ramsey and Rapp were fighting at the beginning of the game ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRamsFan88 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Another ugly win for this team, but this team is learning how to win in a variety of ways. When the playoffs come, the Rams won’t have the luxury to go up two scores by halftime and sit on a lead, especially with Stafford being a detriment with his turnovers.

But I feel like Ramsey has no confidence in Rapp to do what he’s supposed to. I remember the season we traded for Ramsey, the game against SF where Rapp blew the coverage and Ramsey spoke on it afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no business winning that game and if we play like that in the playoffs, we're done, so all of the questioning is understandable. It's actually crazier to just act like everything is going perfect when we barely squeaked out a 1 point win against the depleted ravens. Once again, the rest of the players bailed Stafford and Mcvay out (although it wasn't one of Mcvay's worst coached games). Fullers' pick kept us in the game. The defense as a whole was pretty good except for a few drives but never broke. Sony looked great, and of course OBJ came up HUGE! We're lucky to get out of there with a win. On to SF to take the division. Stafford can not keep handing the other team points if we want to make noise in the postseason. The fact that we're in week 18 and this hasn't been corrected is worrisome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were good before the trade and the trade was supposed to be the last piece. And right now, it is hard to not think Stafford is going to be what holds us back. He's had 2 good games in the last 8. Worse QBs have gotten hot to carry a team to a SB (E. Manning, Flacco) so it is not impossible to think Stafford can too but the trend he is on is at best alarming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, he gets it out of his system. Because he has to play within himself in the playoffs. He can't keep throwing the pick sixes and the deep ball picks into triple coverage in the playoffs. Hit the open man or throw it away and live to play another down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ground, in the air, with defense, losing the turnover battle. These are the things you want to see from Contenders. The way we played prior to the last 5 weeks I was concerned that we could only win games a certain way and this team disproved that. Remember that stat about McVay's offense PPG in December plummeting? We've averaged 27.4PPG this season. Highest of McVay's career. This fanbase is mind numbing sometimes. We averaged 29 PPG in 2019 in December. We averaged 27.6 PPG in 2018. And we averaged 29.8 PPG in 2017. If we don't count the SF game where we sat our starters in 2017, we actually averaged 34 PPG.

NVRamsFan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Best part of the win yesterday is if we beat SF next week and the Saints win, as much as that would pain us to see, the Niners are out of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 GGs folks Pretty heartbreaking game to dash your playoff hopes if you're a Ravens fan considering we had the lead 99% of the game but you all scored TDs when it mattered and we settled for FGs...probably for the best though, I'm sure you saw the names on the broadcast but I've never seen an injury season like this...probably best to just get a higher pick and hope everyone comes back healthy next year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen has the same amount of INT's as Stafford (15) and they have the 4th best odds to win the Superbowl with a worse defense. Let's take a step back and look at things comparatively instead of A.) Focus solely on the negatives B.) Using perfection as a barometer for success. We lost 36-28 to the best team in the league on the road. The game wasn't as close as the score would indicate, but we are a legit Superbowl contender. Are we the best Superbowl Contender? No, but we are in the top 5 and that's good enough for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just going to say this, there is only four QBs currently I trust in the 4th quarter in a tight game that they will be at their best when their team have to have it to win. Those QBs are ARod, Mahomes, Brady, and Stafford. Yes he make mistakes but pretty much all of his mistakes come in the 1st half. In the 2nd half he is pretty much flawless, especially in the 4th quarter. So unless you think the Rams are going to be blown out by the 4th quarter where they cant have a chance to win then Im super confident in Stafford. I didnt realize this until today but I knew Stafford had a great 2nd half but the guy went 14/14 a td and no ints. He legit didnt miss a single pass the entire 2nd half. Its not even like the Rams had many possessions either so they had to make every possession they had count and in the 4th quarter Stafford led back to back td drives that was the difference in the game. The defense made the plays when they had to as well. The Ravens was in position to score a td and all but lock up the game and thats when Gaines and then AD stepped up made the plays that forced the Ravens to kick a FG then Stafford did what he normally does in the 4th quarter and thats be the best. I knew once the Rams got the ball back Stafford was going to lead the team down the field for a td. Thats why we got Stafford for. In close games in the 4th quarter Stafford is here bc he has been there done that in those situations to bring home the win. We know in the playoffs the games will be tight in the 4th quarter. As we stand today I love the Rams chances with Stafford than any other QB outside of ARod, Mahomes, and Brady when the game is on the line in the 4th quarter. I know what the odds are for the Rams but honestly Id make the Rams as the 2nd best odds in NFC from what all is going on with Tampa but I understand why they are 2nd favs bc out of respect to Brady. I certainly would have the Rams as having the better odds than the Bills. Like you said Allen can be inconsistent plus he doenst have that experience late in the game to consistently come through for his team when the game is on the line. Plus the defense isnt as great as the Rams and they have no running game. So to me its the Packers, Chiefs, 3a Bucs, and 3b Rams right now in terms of Superbowl odds.
