Amazing defense by both teams

meanwhile we keep our defensive coordinator and give him extra coaching duties with olbs. I blame ownership for not firing Tomlin or his clown dc. We could not stop third and a mile all season long. We look like we only had seven guys on the field on defense and tonight the patriots looked like they had 15. Get a clue and get rid of amateur coaching staff. I was done with Tomlin when he got plunked in afc championship a few years ago. He won with cowherds team not his own. Overrated

 

Thanks for posting. This is some new perspective I hadn’t heard yet.

 

Colin Cowherd had a team? I thought he was just a big mouthed sports talking head?!

 

Patriots DBs often are average athletes, their game awareness is so friggin good that make play after play.

Artie Burns and Sean Davis would never be able to play on the Patriots.

 

Loved the defensive slugfest. That’s the sport I fell in love with.

 

Dam autospell. Cowher team. If Artie and Davis were traded to patriots. They would be coached up by belicheat and making the same plays tonight’s defensive backs made. We will be average as long as we have a talented team and piss poor coaching staff. Especially the defense.

 

I hear ya but that didn't feel like a slugfest to me, with hard hitting, blow up plays. It was more some defensive pressure and QB rushing their throws.

 

Me too, although run game was almost nonexistent for both teams.

 

I just knew that Goff would mess it up wade had a great plan but the offense was terrible Mcvay and Goff we’re overwhelmed

 

Patriots had about 150 yards rushing and that kept Rams Offense off the field.

 

D

isnt matter that offense was MUD

 

Minus the diatribe on the Steelers defense, the game tonight showed a lot of lack of offense on the part of the Rams IMO. Their defense did a great job.

 

Patriots and rams regular season defenses were garbage then both defenses turned elite in the playoffs like wtf lol

 

Pats have converted wideouts to DBs multiple times and still found success.. it's just the way it is. call them cheaters or whatever you want, whatever.. they just do it better than anyone else.. and have been doing it better for nearly two entire decades now. we all hate them, but it is what it is.

 

Yes, he was the long time losing HC right after that other long time loser Knoll.

 

What happened to “defense doesn’t win championships anymore”?

 

I won’t put it all on the Rams defense as Goff threw a bad pick. But, everyone knew the Pats were going to run the ball on the final FG drive and yet, the Rams couldn’t stop them.

Play a defense that forces them to throw. Bellicheat would. But no, they left the middle open for 20 yard runs.

 

Suh must quit on plays.
