So I thought Shurmur was relatively conservative today...
But I aint complaining with that score and 8/2.
I suppose a D like the Rams brought into town will do that.
Lots of crossing, drag kinda routes...I could tell as the 3rd quarter progressed the Rams were starting to get worn-out on D.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
The Rams were playing a deep safety the entire game.
with good kicking, we score 30. 30 vs a premier defense
I think we took what was there. It's a winning philosophy at home against a good D.
They took what was given and had some long drives which helped milk the clock. The defense did their part too.
Speaking of clock milking...
That 6 minute go ahead drive really broke the Rams
end of the day, time of P all tolled Our O had the ball an entire quarter more than they !
450+ yards of offense doesn't seem conservative. If Forbath doesn't yak 2 kicks, they score 30 points.

I'll bet a lot of that was yac (speaking of Yak). But this cat ain't complaining about the final score. I would have settled for 2 to 3 agains that D.

I think it was a perfect plan. Grind on that d line and wear them down. And it worked.
I thought Shurmur called a good game. I think the only play I really bitched about was the dumb direct snap to Murray, really Pat?

plays like that are fine if you need something to create momentum... but when things are going your way... WTF. maybe if they just want to put it on tape to set up a different play down the road I guess?
maybe there is a version where Murray throws a backwards pass to Case and he hits a streaking Diggs for a TD?

We did that with Bradford last year, right? And I will say that Shurmur has done well mixing up the play calling so I won't complain too much.

Sometimes they run plays to set things up for later in the season and/or give opposing defenses something else to prepare for, but my Murray lining up under center. They should probably burn that play along with the wildcat section of the playbook.

& I remember the CB leveling Bradford immediately after the snap too ! It was like this free shot at a player you are not supposed to touch

It seemed like we just wore them out, kept pounding on them. But that strip on the goal line was probably a top 3 play of the year.
