Calvada January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 Didn't the people in KC responsible for hiring Andy Reid ever look at his tenure in Philadelphia? This loss does not surprise me. I was hoping for a Rams win since I really can't stand the Falcons. I have this tremendous dislike (admittedly somewhat irrational) of Mat Ryan. Have the Rams greased the sidelines? People are slipping all over the field, but especially when they run out of bounds. It's like they are stepping on a sheet of ice.

Jx223 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) I was very impressed with the way that Marcus Mariota played tonight against the Chiefs. He wasn't rattled and really stepped up and made plays to help his team win. I think that he's been uneven this year, but he did a great job tonight. The Chiefs caught some rough breaks but they did let a large lead slip away. They should have used Kareem Hunt more in the second half and that could have helped them. Also, I had thought that the Rams were going to win against ATL, because ATL has also been uneven this year. The team including Matt Ryan have been shaky looking at times this season, but they did enough tonight to win the game. Though I feel like this game was lost more by the Rams, than it was won by the Falcons. The Rams looked a like young, nervous and inexperienced team. Most of them hadn't been to the playoffs prior to this game and they played like it (Especially in the first half). Robert Woods was excellent though and tried his best to help get them back in the game by making big catches. But even though they lost, the Rams have had an impressive season this year, especially with a young team and a young rookie Head Coach. They will learn from this experience.

mojoween January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 (edited) Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston were lumped into the bust category earlier this year. I know it was one playoff game, but Marcus looked pretty good yesterday. He tends to hold on to the ball too long, probably because he think he might be able to escape, but a lot of QB’s do that. Russell Wilson is not a bust, and he holds on to the ball far, FAR longer than he should. I know Mariota and Wilson aren’t the same, but I bristled at the bust talk because there is a lot going on in both Tennessee or TB that aren’t either of their faults. Winston does appear to be insane, however. Edited January 7, 2018 by mojoween 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/174/#findComment-3944083

DrSpaceman73 January 8, 2018 Share January 8, 2018 Panthers really fought the whole way and thought they might pull it out. But too many red zone failures. That first potential scoring drive for carolina was the killer. Dropped easy TD pass and then a missed short FG. That was the difference in the game. On that grounding penalty that was the killer on the last drive, that was all on Cam. He had the whole right side of the field he just had to slide to or roll out to before the defender go to him, just didn't do it. All he had to do was move to the right one step.
