Another 3rd down here...

Unfortunately the playoff defense joined him

Holy crap!! Josh is going freaking nuclear in this half

I wish we had passed it to take advantage of the free play but whatever I'll take it

Yep I was thinking of that one too. That was our 3 and out to start the 2nd half

Ugh Cook has been incredibly weak today. He hasn't gained a single yard over what he should

This would be a performance that solidified the MVP if the defense could even just hold the Rams to a couple FGs let alone a punt or two.

At this point I'm rooting for the offense to score just so the defense's performance sticks out that much worse. Maybe Josh's MVP campaign won't take a big hit in that scenario

Of course if is scheme. Stafford has been the best QB in the league against zone this year. I hoped McDermott/Babich would know that and change their tendencies. Stupid me... Hopefully it is just a "we don't want to show our playbook in a regular season game against an NFC opponent" kind of strategy. But the defense looks this bad every year in our losing playoff game so this is giving me a really bad feeling of deja vu.

Zero pass rush. Again. Terrified of this DL heading into the playoffs.

We can't rush 4 and get pressure. That is by far the story of our defense on this one

This is our worst defensive performance since 2017... Zero pass rush, zero coverage.

From 1st and 30 to a 50 yard TD... Never out of the game with Josh back there.

Well that's one way to get back into the game... Can the defense make a stop?

Let's just get out of here injury free

Are we literally just surrendering this game with this play calling?

Brady has no answers at all

I don't understand how our blitzes never even get close

All three CBs have been abused today. I dont even know what to say about it because that has been the strength of our defense all year

He should have had a 1st there, frustrating that he went down on first contact and it was pretty weak contact

Don't see us coming back in this one. Rams WRs are making every single play

Ugh we just have nothing going at all today

Ugh feels like Cook had a lane to run there but got knocked down at first contact

Special teams brutal today. Rams intentionally kicking it short knowing they are better than us

That 3rd and 2 was where we needed Brady to step up and make a play call that kept the momentum with his offense. Coaching continues to fail the team in critical high leverage moments against good teams.
