Does anyone think if Ingram had played, the outcome would have been different?

Don't think it would have mattered because OL didn't show up. Play calling was very questionable. With zone coverage and the way the DE's were flying in we needed to go with at lest 4 wide maybe 5 wide and throw some quick slants to slow up the pass rush. None of it matters now but whomever calls the plays this week needs to be ready to make corrections on the fly and not just beat their head in the wall by trying to run something that isn't working. Go back and look at the 4th qtr of the Texans game. That's what we should have done coming out in the second half.

No difference.
It's like having loadsa money and keeping it in the bank.
Use it or lose it.

No way. Offensive line wouldn't have blocked any different. Rams had no problem stuffing the run no matter who.

You can't really answer that question. If I would have gone to the game would the outcome have been different?

No difference what so ever. Rams had our number...911. HA!

Don't think I have lost my love for this team by the way I've been expressing myself lately. It's just the way I'm dealing with the dissappointment at this time. Just allow me to keep punching holes in the wall until I hit a stud. I promise I'll quit then.

It may have. We were flat, and there are probably numerous circumstances that given a do-over may have changed the outcome.

If Bradford played we may have taken them more seriously.
If Ingram played we may have practiced the running game more during the week.
If Payton was on the sideline he may have "inspired" a few players to step it up a notch.

Nothing matters now, but I know if we played the Rams again this year we'd humiliate them.
