The part the shocked me the most about that game was that the Rams O-Line had just been voted the best in the league...and they got rocked all game long by NE's Front-7.

I mean, almost no space created in the run game and their pass protection was pretty bad even against only 4 rushers. Almost zero clean pockets for Geoff for more than 1.5 seconds.

I don't know what happened but that O-line lost them that game.

Walk Worthy,

Walk Worthy,

Yes, they were bad up front

Not sure why they had Gurley out most of the game or didn't try to run more off tackle rather than up front.

Offensive gameplan did not seem to adjust well.

Rams could not find space anywhere on the field. I read this morning that the Pats played man coverage about 60% of the time during the regular season, but was in zone 90% of the snaps in the SB. And it seemed like all McVeigh's plays ran the receivers right into the middle of a defender's zone. Nowhere to go and Goff had no idea what he was looking at.

Agree the OL sucked and did not help Goff. But I'm not sure the extra time would've made that big of a difference.

Really wonder what is up w/Gurley.

The Pats are so boring. What a terrible game.

Yeah I saw that largely as belicheck out coaching mcvay and goff. Again he seems great against younger inexperienced quarterbacks by thoroughly confusing them.

Austin Blythe really got exposed.

Very complicated stunts, delayed pass rush, and going vertical up the field like a Tampa 2. Plus the played a great zone as if they knew the Rams routes.

Right, "as if".

Yeah, but the Rams varied nothing. No screens until late. How about some different formations to run the same play out of? Nope.

Same thing with Chiefs. They were motioning us all over the place vs us, then stood still vs the Pats? WTF...why are you trying to make it easy on them?

You have to be a multiple varied offense to consistently beat the Pats. I can't believe that we have this many dumb coaches in the NFL?

The pats were bringing six to the line and rushing between three and all six. A lot of times one of the guys would drop to spy for the screen pass.

I don’t disagree, and for all that the Rams were still in it. They were the more talented team. I don’t know what McVay was thinking. He got schooled, but Goff depends on him so much. McVay probably thought what he had drummed up was good.

Too bad the Saints didn’t make it. Brees Brady would have been a good matchup.

More like "Too bad the Saints were robbed of their victory in the NFC Championship game by the officials."

Brees / Brady would have been a much better game, I think.
