Why punting was right call

My Rams faced a very similar situation last week versus Seattle. Fourth and short near midfield, not much time left. They punted, only instead of pinning Seattle down at the one the Seahawks got it at the 20. The net result of that call? 27 yards, I think. But the Rams intercepted Seattle during the drive to secure the victory.

How can one criticize Rivera without also criticizing Fisher?

Were you starting Nakamura and Norman in your secondary?

Rams don't have Cam Newton, Stewart, Tolbert.....and probably weren't averaging 5 yards a carry while putting up 200 yards rushing in that game. Rams also aren't as successful in 1 yard to go scenarios.

Atl passing attack is also light years ahead of Seattle and the Rams D is less inconsistent than Carolina's..

So? I fail to see the similarities n scenarios......

Most times the defense holds when you pin the other team at their one yard line. Rivera's call put his team in position to win and that's all you can ask.

All the criticism is in hindsight. If he'd gone for it and didn't get it you'd see outrage that he went for it. I think it was the right call too.

Dude the Rams won, the Panthers lost. You mean to tell me you can't see why Rivera would be scrutinized and not Jeff Fisher?

I'm saying they made the identical call and Panthers fans should take solace (unless they hate Rivera and don't want to hear this) in the fact that the call worked in another game even when the punt team screwed it up. Rivera's call put Atlanta on their one yard line. It SHOULD have worked, and the fact that it didn't is on the players, not him. Someone had to make a play.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
