NFL Week 11 Running Thread: Chiefs-Rams Going Back to Cali

The stalwarts of the 2018 Rams offense - Gurley, Woods, Cooks (Kupp) had one td last night.. and the rams had a 50 burger.

 

When scoring td's becomes automatic then I will agree with this. The Chiefs got the ball back with 2 timeouts and only needing a field goal, if scoring was as automatic as you make it out to be that game should have at the very least gone to overtime, no?

 

I normally agree with this but last night by running Gurley they would have made KC burn their timeouts and Gurley is the best back in the league.

 

One guy on defense had two touchdowns. The Rams showed us the only way left to play defense in the NFL last night. Turnovers and scores are what count. Forget yards allowed, or even points allowed. Your job is to turn in big plays, just like the offense does.

 

I always like the aggressive approach there. One first down wins it for the Rams, and McVay recognized like all of us that his defense had given up 51 points and would have a hard time stopping the Chiefs. And, on the flip side, their defense couldn't stop his team either.
So why not run a couple of relatively safe passes and try to get a first down? The second down play was a great call, just well-defensed. If it's not knocked down the receiver was open and probably gains at least 15 yards and the game is over.

 

The Rams' defense forced five turnovers, scored two touchdowns of its own, and STILL gave up almost 600 yards and 45 points (not counting KC's defensive touchdown). That seems impossible.

 

I forget who posted it, and it even might have been here, otherwise Twitter, but it was said that the Witten for Gruden trade was the rare deal that hurt three teams.

 

Again, I am not convinced everything was right with Gurley last night.
Since there was a false start to begin, they would have needed 15 yards.
KC still had to burn two of their three timeouts.

 

Not just once. At least twice.

 

Hecker's punt at the end was fantastic.
