Ben Maller Says Sean McVay Cost Rams The Victory Over Lions IN Frustrating Fashion

seanmcvay cost #losangelesrams the game, but it's okay Detroit blew the two touchdown lead and the uh they got a late field goal by somebody named Jake Bates I don't know who that is but he made a 32 yard field goal in the final minute of Regulation final half minute the Lions then won the coin flip and they matriculated the ball down the field eight plays 70 yard Drive capped off by the Montgomery game-winning score good afternoon good evening and good night so the Lions get the win better story though in the losing locker room as the Rams go down from the Ram side of the aisle from the Ram side of the aisle are things the way things are right now fors are you excited uh frustrated or angry or all of the above regarding the the loss so the arrow on this one is pointing towards frustrating and excited that's where the arrow is I've got scissors and paste pink bottle and house fly and we will combine all of these things together and we will lay the foundation for this Mal monologue but the the arrow is pointing towards exciting and frustrating uh not so much angry but the the pundants dismissing the Rams as contenders this season in the NFC and yet they storm back with a couple of big plays in the second half they're down two touchdowns in a hostile environment against the Lions and made Detroit as we talked about make that late field goal to tie the game go to overtime Detroit in the NFC title game last year and would have could have should have won if they didn't keep going for it on fourth down uh but that is encouraging now I overall I would say I'm Benny bright side when it comes to the Rams but when you consider the Rams offensive line here's the main reason right Rams offensive line scissors and Pace job you're playing backups it's a patchwork quilt at tackle all kinds of odds and ends put together there and the Lions supposed to have this ferocious defense and Rams held their own uh they did with and puka noua left on a golf court a golf cart you don't want to leave on a golf cart right unless you're golfing he wasn't uh and the Rams defense without Aaron Donald how are they going to stop anyone without Aaron Donald oh my God uh and they only had one real meltdown one real meltdown which was the travius white blown C coverage the defensive back for the Rams who's back he was in Buffalo was a good player and he's had a lot of injuries and he got burned on a 52 yard catch and run for the lions in that game now the real frustration part is that it should have never come down to overtime the Rams should have won it in regulation they had possession of the ball they got the ball back with about four minutes a little over four minutes to go in the game and they got only one first down and they Absol absolutely botched the clock on their what turned out to be their final possession of the game unable to convert more than one first down there were questionable decisions about getting out of bounds stopping the clock and forcing the Lions to use timeouts and so that's on McVey right now once McVey finds the Synergy uh the Rams will win around 9 10 11 games they'll be in that same group they they're usually in and that normally gets you in the playoffs so I didn't see anything from the game Sunday night where it's like well they're not a playoff team in fact I thought the defense everything I'd read about it and heard about it from all the so-called experts I thought the Rams defense was fine uh the Lions offense didn't really do much of anything they had the late drive and fine congratulations all right raiders look bloated in loss to #losangeleschargers now we we moved to the other team in la la land a much Bal hooded debut for Jim Harbaugh as coach of the Chargers he was victorious in a 22 to 10 game Over Las Vegas better story in the losing locker room though so we'll focus on that as the Raiders get really one of two home games the Raiders when they play in LA they're more Raider fans in La than charger fans or Ram fans for that matter so they had a packed House of Raider fans there how should Antonio P this is his first game as the permanent coach of the Raiders he was the interim coach last year his first game as the permanent coach how's Antonio Pierce feeling right about now as the Raiders go down to the Chargers in week one so Antonio Pierce he probably should stop by like a CVS or a Walgreens or something like that pick up a pink bottle on the way home there some Pepto Bismol back to Vegas because the silver and black in this game suffering from bloating gassiness and then in the fourth quarter fatigue which is rather embarrassing uh it was a hot day was a heat wave in in La it's Fire season so it's got good Brush Fire season here in LA and a lot of fires and Heat and whatnot and but the Raiders play in Vegas that is the personification of heat and they wore down as the game went on but they that much like the Rams the game was there for them and they blew it the Raiders although it was different because they didn't have the lead late in the game but 13 of the 22 points that the Chargers scored were directly off Raider miscues and Gardner muu had not one but two turnovers was sacked four times zamir white who looks like an absolute Beast fumbled you got to hold on the ball what are you doing uh but overall here's the crazy thing Garder minu had more impact plays in terms of side by side than Justin Herbert who was yuck for the bolts and yet the Chargers won they were able to run the ball which is what Jim har he wants to win ugly the big ugly and the Chargers did that and the Raiders unable to get Devonte Adams the the ball on a on a on a consistent basis I think only target him six times in this game so that's just what Jim Harbaugh wanted for Antonio Pierce though I mean man you you're going to have to win with your defense and your defense you had some guys kicked out it was it was a hot mess it was a hot mess there at the end for the Raiders now the tyreekhill seems to be in the middle of everything last word we pivoting out of the story everyone's talking about I don't know about you but I wake up right before kickoff I don't watch the pregame shows I don't need the pregame shows I spend all week getting ready for my NFL Sunday plus I do an overnight show so I can't get up I I I I used to get up at halftime of the early games but now I'm like got watch the whole game so I get up in the morning there and I'm like all right I'm kind of groggy we head to South Florida here and the Dolphins had a come from behind Victory they beat Jacksonville 20 to 17 unable to cover the spread that's not the story though the story is what happened before the game a very bizarre chain of events very bizarre chain of events involving cops and football players the bad boys bad boys what you going to do I don't even know if that's the case but you had star wide receiver Tyreek Hill who said after the game that he played in the game he was detained he said he had no idea why police detained him before the Dolphins game but there's there's video of it and can you make sense of what happened uh in this situation so I I'm trying to to process exactly what happened there's not one consistent version of events we do have the Tyreek Hill version but we don't have the other side and there are three sides to the story there's the Tyreek Hill story there's the cop story and then there's the truth somewhere else in the middle um but I woke up kind of groggy kind of groggy and uh then I saw the clip I uh turned on the old phone there and I saw the clip of Tyreek Hill being handcuffed and like a bunch of cops around him kind of rough housing him and then I I read later that the Miami Dade Police placed one of the officers involved on administrative leave is that just standard protocol is there more to the story uh it's got to be embarrassing for the Miami Dade Police Department uh this is generally uh not what you're looking for here now other dolphin teammates intervened and K kalas Campbell said that he ended up in in handcuffs also so and at least he was the only one that said it as far as I saw maybe I missed something else there but we don't know if Tyreek Hill did anything wrong here or not but what we do know what we do know is the track record right that said we know the track record and we've been doing this a while and when you talk about police blot in the NFL the one common denominator has been Tyreek Hill uh he's the common denominator now maybe it's just really bad luck and there's just like a cloud that follows him around and he's an angel and a choir boy and he does nothing wrong uh that is possible but from domestic violence to the benign like the assault at the marina remember that story where there was some money exchanged it Tyreek is like a housefly to dog poop uh with these stories he's always in the middle of it is it just bad luck or could there be something else he always finds himself in the middle of these situation and uh will this be anything it he played in the game Dolphins obviously don't think this is anything they allowed him to play in the game this is all nonsense and we'll see how this plays out in the coming days and the coming weeks and be a lot of bureaucracy involved and people pointing fingers at each other and whatnot
