Hes been behind or underthrow all day. And its not just a today problem.

If you always score, you will never lose.

Ryan knows better than me, but I would have put CJ on the bench a long time ago.

---

Definitely time to give #2 a series esp if he has experience in crappy conditions

Take stroud into the tent and check him out (or at least warm him up)

---

In this particular case, Ryans doesn't know better than you.

Best defense in the NFL could not overcome their own quarterback.

How in the world Stroud is a starter in the NFL is beyond me.

First draft pick, celebrity status, and fantastic rookie year. I'm not saying that's a reason. But it is the reason.

Overall these playoff games have been really good, competitive and entertaining football. Out of 10 total games, only 3 have been blowouts. The remaining 7 have been close coming down to the last drive or gone into OT.

CJ Stroud’s pass was so inaccurate that the receiver tore his ACL trying to catch it 😭 pic.twitter.com/9YjO5xiBoj

Bears/Rams has been a great heavyweight slugfest in tough football conditions. Been fun to watch.

Rams defense with the goal line stand.

If they can get a first down, this is pretty much over.

They get a free pass on this play because it will take it to the 2 minute warning.

Not over yet.

Did that really just happen?

XP away from the tie!

TIED

Are you kidding me!

17-17...heading to OT.

Incredible

Fans getting their money's worth

I was thinking they should pass with it being third and 10. Get it and game over. Miss and what happened still coul have happened.

Great game. Only the Seahawk blowout yesterday and Stroud's bed-****ting today mar the weekend.

Never thought I’d say this but the NFL is just a grossly superior entertainment product to college football

I didn't think that we would end up here.

But the destruction of historic rivalries through realignment, unlimited player free agency, no salary caps, and the destruction of bowl games has turned college football into a bad semi-pro sport.

Maybe pick a CFL team.

Go Greyhounds!

One thing the NFL has understood that even most of the other pro leagues can't seem to get is that in terms of organizational success, all the teams are in it together. Thus, they share revenue and organize around a system where you can't just have the richest teams buy the best players. Not that their system is perfect, but that is the structure of the system.

The "we just want to make the most money and the heck with everyone else" mentality has led college sports down the path to where they are now--and the even worse spot their likely to end up in.

Yep. In the NFL going in way too big might work for a year or two, but eventually has dire consequences.
