He continued to allow Edelman to stay open in the short zone without spying him. Brady's arm isn't what it used to be, make him throw downfield more & it's a different ballgame. Dude, Wade was trying to cover Edelman. Edelman was juking defenders out of their jocks. Triple him up and you leave someone else open.
Mr. WEO Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 2 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: That's one where you gotta wonder if Wade didn't want a time out to reset his guys and McVay wanted to save 'em. Overall, I think you're right, they held up pretty stout given the big TOP disparity but in the end they wore down. Is MvVay from the Andy Reid coaching shrub?
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 1 minute ago, Mr. WEO said: They made 2 FGs, missed one and were in FG range another time but went for a 4th and 1 instead. That is still not evidence the defense played bad. That is what good defenses do...especially in the "era of offense" 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 1 minute ago, JoshAllenHasBigHands said: His original point was that the Rams defense didn't play well this game. That seems like a wild take. Oh, he's wrong then. The Rams D did not get pushed around despite being on the field way too much. Their O had what, One first down? two? in the entire first half? That's a stunning display of offensive impotence, but the Rams D held tough. 1 1

Way to late getting it off. The 2nd one to Cooks was Gilmore's arm bar ignored. McVay and his offense were terrible. Wade did his job. Still. Cooks should come down with it both times. On first It was as much Goff’s fault as cooks. Same as dolphins clay Allen play more or less. On second, NFL WRs need to make those contested catches. My my conclusion is is Edelman was mvp, cooks was LVP These nfl WRs that wait for the ball instead of coming to it and attacking it perplex me. Yes Wade did a good job, Billy just did a better one.

But thats the standard you have created for yourself. I mean, you are dissatisfied with the Pats being held to FOUR field goal attempts and a touchdown. That is a stellar outing for any defense in the modern NFL. 1

Livinginthepast Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Wade did a great job. but because the Rams offense was so abysmal, his D was on the field far too long. McVay really let him down with poor play calling.

Brady's arm isn't what it used to be, make him throw downfield more & it's a different ballgame. there is no way to cover Edelman's routes, it's been years of this what is scary is that they are scripted, because Brady doesn't throw to the left when his Brownian Motion jukes fade to the right and you can't triple-team him
dollars 2 donuts Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I could be wrong as I am going off the top of my head, but isn't this the lowest number of points given up in a losing effort? I think the next closest is the Skins with 14 against Miami and then the Cowboys, 16, against the Coltss in SB 5...Colts for that matter against the Jets in SB III, as well.
blacklabel Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Rams defense played very well. That DL was setting up shop in the Pats' backfield from the start. The only thing they weren't able to do was shorten more of those NE drives. They did more than enough to give their team a chance to win. All the blame goes on the offense for not adjusting and making too many mistakes. On the one drive where they looked like they were gonna maybe tie it up, Goff gets rattled way too easy and tosses up a wobbler that Gilmore comes down with. Goff was uncomfortable all night and McVay did him no favors by keeping Gurley on the sidelines. McVay has already owned the loss, as he should, he was completely dismantled and out-coached.

Yes and no. There was good coverage but I saw a young QB (and team) who looked tentative and in over their heads. As mentioned there was at least 1 dropped TD . I also saw Goff waiting to see his guys open at times, thus allowing the DB to make the play. Coaching??? A hand off on 3-22 in the 4 th with about 10 minutes left? SERIOUSLY??? I know I’m not the only one who saw this Coming. You shouldn’t play to not lose in the SB. The Rams did...... and lost in the Worst SB I’ve seen. Also, can ANY team learn to play Edelman “ man to zone” so when he runs that effing pick play the nearest DB jumps the route?! Edited February 4, 2019 by Buffalo Boy
