Before the game today I was worried that DET and WAS hadn't really looked good on D, and that the Rams' decent performances on offense were a bit of a mirage. That suspicion proved to be justified. I have no issues ripping Bradford, but besides a couple of bad sacks, I can't really say he made a whole bunch of negative plays. The TAINT was a deflected pass that was more a good a play by CHI than anything, and the second INT was Gibson quitting on a route like the dog he is
There simply is a talent problem. They got Danny back but otherwise it's mostly the same guys. Their second round pick, #33 overall, didn't even dress and hasn't caught a pass all year. They didn't address the OL either, and they got killed by the Bears. Chicago rarely blitzed, and even when the Rams went with 7 blockers, their front 4 still won. In games against good teams they are going to need the defense and ST to set them up on short fields or score, and that just didn't happen today.
I'm bored of everyone ripping Schwatz for their 4th down failure. The play didn't work but it was a smart decision. The media scruntiny when 4th down attempts backfire is a huge part of the reason coaches are scared to go for the juggler.

For sure. If he doesn't get the TD he's in a sudden death game with an awful defense. If you want to rip him you rip him for the horrible ST and defensive perfromance
