JRobinson Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Well, we couldn't win at home this past Sunday to a Seattle team that we should have beat and out played. Salty and bitter are two emotional words that I'm personally still experiencing a day removed from our loss. Good to see the Girls blow another lead against a stingy Green Bay squad. Hopefully y'all can capitalize on that. Anyways, just wanted to vent to a group that has no bias to the Rams and see if any of you saw what I saw in our game yesterday. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 We felt the same against the Eagles and to some extent the Chiefs. But yeah, we're super big on beating the teams we play. It's the thing we like the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 That won't be an easy game. We are playing them in Seattle, where the Seahawks play their best. However, we gave the Chiefs all they could handle in Arrowhead, one of the toughest places to play. We'll take 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 For what it's worth, I was cheering you guys on. I would love to see the Rams win that division, even though I am still a little pissed off at the owner for firing Fisher one friggin' week before he broke the record. You couldn't give him one more week to surpass Reeves as the biggest loser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Redskins nation was behind the Rams in that one. Someone else pointed out, which I completely agree with, that signing McVay had a 180 effect where the Rams went from being one of our most hated non-NFCE rivals (obviously due to the RG3 trade and post-trade antics) to a team we have a serious soft spot for. Also, F the Seahawks and the CenturyLink stadium architect. You deserved to win that one, all the stats back that up, but the STUPID end-zone fumble rule... I said it after the Redskins gift win over the Ravens last year where Suggs picked it off and fumbled it out of the end zone that although I appreciated the gift, the rule needs to be changed... It's one of the worst rules in the sport. Keep your chin up, the NFCW is a two-horse race and you guys are one of those teams... Also, no more Jeff Fisher!

Riggo'sRangers Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Would love to help but had emergency hernia surgery this weekend and missed EVERY game, and still feel very crappy. Sorry big guy. We will do all we can because I DO, truly and always, abhor the Seahawks. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'd love to give you guys that gift especially after Seattle knocked us out of the playoffs twice. I wonder if there are enough Redskins left to take this game personally? There certainly are enough Seahawks left to rub it in or take us lightly.

LavarArringtonMachine Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Beating Seattle for you all should be no problem. The Seahawks offense is garbage but their defense is still respectable. We will beat them by 14 points. Then I request that you send me a pack of that great tasting cheese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Boy you are totally right about that rule awarding the defense a touchback on a fumble near the goal line. That is way too severe of a penalty to the offense, worst rule in all of sports.

cakmoney61 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I understand your frustration...you should have beaten Seattle. It's still true that the team that makes the fewest mistakes usually wins. The Rams were dominating Seattle, but Gurley's boneheaded play of not securing the football cost them 7 points very early, along with the missed FG and the TD catch that was almost made late in the fourth quarter was too much to overcome. I'm sure Seattle appreciated all the gifts. The Rams are very similar to the Redskins. The talent is there but you have to go on the field and consistently show that you are a very good to elite team. The only thing that matters is the scoreboard at the end of the game. I'm still waiting to see it from the Rams and the Redskins. IMO, however, both are playoff-caliber teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you agree, I got crucified for condemning the rule after we were the beneficiary of Suggs' endzone fumble last year. (I was a huge fan that it worked out well for us, but realized it was a complete joke). If a ball is fumbled out of the end zone then the last team in possession should receive the ball where it was last possessed. The difference in ruling between fumbling at the 1" line, or any of the other 99 yards for that matter, and at the pylon, is incomprehensible and unfair. I really would like the rule/reasoning explained. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand what kind of belichickian shenanigans it's attempting to prevent.

I really would like the rule/reasoning explained. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand what kind of belichickian shenanigans it's attempting to prevent. Not saying that it's good or bad, but this is my understanding: I think of it like a kickoff. When the ball is in the field of play and both teams have legal access to it (so not a punt where it just downs the ball), putting the ball in the opponent's end zone wherein the opponent takes possession and stops the play (knee, tackle, whatever), it's a touchback and the opponent maintains possession. However, if the kicking team recovers the ball in the opponent's endzone, it's a touchdown. When it's a fumble, the offense has yielded control of the ball, essentially giving it away just like on a kickoff. There's no penalty to put it on the one-yard line (like a pass interference) because the offense gave it away legally. On a kickoff, when you do this by making the ball exit the field of play through the endzone, it's a touchback. I think their logic is to do the same thing with the fumble. If it fumbles into the endzone (unintentionally), then the offense can score a touchdown. If the defense recovers, then it's a touchback. The kickoff rules apply here. Fumbling out of bounds is different because the kickoff requires the kicking team to give away possession, so kicking it out of bounds would provide an unfair advantage, hence the penalty. On the offense there is no obligation to give the ball away, so there's no change of possession. At least that's my understanding of the rule.

I really would like the rule/reasoning explained. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand what kind of belichickian shenanigans it's attempting to prevent. The main thing on that particular situation is possession. Suggs lost possession before crossing the line and the ball went out of bounds after crossing past the goal line, a.k.a. endzone. Once that ball was fumbled, had it stayed in bounds and inside the endzone, it would have been a live ball, but it rolled out, so its considered a possession change because neither team had a chance for a recovery. There can be no further advancement of the ball once it reaches the endzone. The difference between that and a similar situation, say at the 45 yd line, is the ball is still in play one way or another. Its difficult to explain it, but I guess you could say that a player fumbling the ball out of bounds had possession before fumbling, and is not at the goal line, and the ball still can be advanced further. ****, that's the best I can do...
