Yeah, like I said, not meant to be an excuse. They (Rams) gave us their best shot and our defense was not good enough to handle it. Their offense has not played at that same level of intensity since our game. I am hoping that we can stop other teams "best shot" going forward, because that is all we will see in the playoffs.
But make no mistake, I agree that having to outscore other teams, because our defense can't stop their offense, is not a winning strategy in the playoffs.
