Thanks, DarnoldThis game turned out to be another lame one. Not a great product this weekend.
Probably a scorigami for 1st downs.1st and 31 is...different
FCS had one this past year in college for SC State (who had the 1st and 31) vs. Morgan State on November 16.Probably a scorigami for 1st downs.
I had no idea there was even a record of that. Thanks!FCS had one this past year in college for SC State (who had the 1st and 31) vs. Morgan State on November 16.
They didn’t convert. Punted on 3rd and 32…and the subsequent punt distance didn’t even get a 1st, going 30 yards.
Hard to judge with Darnold doing this bad.Just tuning in. Where has this Rams defense been all year? 26th in defensive DVOA and they've been crushing it today.
They have also lost a ton of coaches for head coach and coordinator jobs. Having a strong X&Os coach instead of the CEO type has value.Rams turnaround is impressive. They went all in to win one and seemed like they had cap problems and Stafford was old etc
Since then they lost Aaron darnold to retirement and got back to it…Pakua, Williams, etc
Who says McVay isn’t also a ceo type? If he’s replacing coaches successfully that would seem to indicate he’s built a good culture, is a good leader, can pick talent, knows where to get involved…you know, a good ceo.They have also lost a ton of coaches for head coach and coordinator jobs.

I think he's both. He does all of that and runs the offensive side. He's similar to Belichick.Who says McVay isn’t also a ceo type?

isnt that -1 points in Canadian football? A reverse rouge?FCS had one this past year in college for SC State (who had the 1st and 31) vs. Morgan State on November 16.

They've been a work in progress all year built around a bunch of young players. They've progressed. Down the stretch, after giving up 42 to the Bills, (21 in the 4th quarter in a game they were up 2-3 scores for most of the second half), they gave up 6 at the Niners, 9 at the Jets, 9 to the Cardinals (who hung 41 on them in Week 2), and 30 to the Seahawks in a game in which they rested their starters and still almost won.Just tuning in.

That's actually hilarious. It happened exactly like that. LOLVikings season:
Win a bunch of games.
Lose to Detroit.
Lose to Rams.

It's an average of 32-8 per four quarters. The average team scored 23 points per game this season. The defense was 9 points/39% worse, the offense was 15 points/65% worse. This season, including playoffs, teams were 12-67 when allowing 30-34 points and 1-57 when scoring 6-10 points. The offense should get the majority of the blame.The Vikings got outscored by 55 points over the final 9 quarters of their season (73-18). Darnold will certainly take most of the responsibility but the Vikings defense also turned into a pumpkin and couldn't stop anything.
Todd Bowles nods in approval.People talk about Darnold's clock management last night but I think the Rams just broke them. The 4th quarter had a "We lost, let's just get this over with" vibe to it.
