That 133 rushing yards comes out to 3.6 yards per carry. Someone can try to convince me that's good (It'd be great if we had not let Jackson go for 42 and a TD on us -- 9 rushes for 16 yards on all of Jackson's other carries, btw), but I'm unconvinced.
7-16 third down conversion is about league average. We don't know how good the Rams offense will look. This might look like a really bad figure at the end of the year (bottom three or four offensive unit), but probably just "meh". We were 0-8 on passing third downs. That's bad vs. anyone.
A 30 pt giveaway necessarily requires that you count the drive that started on the 3 yard line after the Moss turnover. I don't know. Seems to me like it would be unreasonable to expect a team to come away with no points from there. Of course, the Rams had first and goal at the one at the end of the first half and didn't score, so the defense had to have figured out something in that situation.

So the problem is bad luck and the offense?
Seriously, the Texans did it to the Colts is such a piss poor excuse. I expect us to be those 10 other teams that don't allow that to happen. You know, those above avg.
Really, 43% third down conversion is league avg? And here I was thinking you were good with stats.
Fine, they could have given up a field goal but they ended up giving away a TD. Their objective is to make stops. I'll give the Rams 23 pts. We still lose. Happy?
