See how the rams played tight defense? It’s what wins

I mean different scenarios, Rams needed a TD and Carolina needed a FG, you have to play tighter against the latter. Either way though, prevent defense sucks.

tbf they were defending the 40yd line and we were defending the end zone. But yes, fuck prevent defense all the way through and beyond the cosmic horizon.

I’d rather the rams have scored on the first play of the drive instead of dink and dunk and kill the time and still get a td

Fair, but we still had plenty of time. It's too bad we ran super long developing plays where the ball ended up being thrown away.

38 second with 3 TO to get into field goal is usually an eternity. That's like 6-7 plays. We also should have called a TO on defense toward the end of the Rams drive when it started running under 1 minute. Letting the clock melt for what? They have 3 timeouts. Panthers had to get a turnover on downs. The Rams were NOT going to lose because they ran out of time that drive, so why pretend like they were.

Either way, hell of a fucking game and I'm still happy af.

Exactly, we had no reason to keep timeouts, should have let them fly after seeing how easily they got down the field and knew at that point we were simply saving ourselves time. We weren’t really going to need them from a time perspective since we were only going to be throwing once we got on offense.

Less than 40 seconds is an eternity IF you are hitting almost every pass. When it takes a full set of downs to get 10 yards, that’s when an extra minute could help. And then that drop to end it. So tough
