Gurley is playing like Gurley of old. Embarrassing stiff arm to the face. Reminds me of the Bettis commercial.

It's 3rd and 5, an incomplete means they punt the ball.
Here, the INT is at the 3 yd line. You'd kill for a punt that pins them at the 3 yd line. |
I've always felt that way in a lot of scenarios, but not necessarily this one. As others have said, a run might be better, but there is no guarantee and rarely does McVay run on 3rd and 5. But if they did and failed, it would have left them with, likely, something like a 50-55 yard FG attempt, though a sack ends that. So there are different options with different outcomes, but putting a team back on its three is not the worst outcome. |

I know TG has played well the last two games but the way the Rams have been running the football this season, I don't blame him.
I was happy to see them use TG as a receiver more yesterday (4 catches for 34 yds). He's been one of the best dual-threat backs the last few years. I guess we've had so many OL issues they needed him to block but the OL played well the last two games. Have we finally found a lineup up front that works?

| Great game, probably too late. Need to win out to get in the playoffs. |

The way the Rams are playing, they have a real shot to win in Dallas. If that happens, the Vikings' game at the Chargers will be huge. The Chargers' record is bad, but they have been in basically every game. They blitzed the Packers earlier this year. Wouldn't be shocking at all if they won that game (Minnesota has only opened as a 2.5-point favorite). That would be huge for the Rams, because if they beat Dallas, even a loss at San Francisco would mean that the Vikes would just need to lose one more game out of their last 2, and they still play divisional games against a Bears team that has seemed to figure stuff out, and the Packers. (This is assuming a Rams win in Week 17 at home against Arizona.)
By the way, the Rams have opened as a 1-point favorite at Dallas. |

| Either Gurley no longer has that pop/burst or our offensive line can’t get the push |

| Well, the silver lining is that we could have still not made the playoffs, even if we won out (Vikings might win out). And this team with all it's holes was going to get exposed by a good playoff team regardless. |

| Rams getting their butt kicked by the Cowboys was the perfect ending to this terrible season. Especially considering how awful the Cowboys have been lately. |
