Seahorn played a part missing the play completely. I expected no less from that loser though, we're responsible for signing and using him though.

Lovie played a part, his (run) defense was downright awful, whether his scheme was flawed or he drafted/signed the wrong guys (how did Jamie Duncan pan out replacing Fletcher? What about our 1st round DT's?) or perhaps he was too caught up in the Chicago HC position, or maybe all of the above. But I for one don't think back on Lovie Smith's defense half as fondly as most fans seem to do (in retrospect because of the success the Bears have had recently perhaps?). Lovie made a lot of God-awful mistakes here, and we're still paying for them on defense (Marmie didn't help either).

Martz played a part as well, I still cannot fathom how he settled for the field goal instead of going for the win. On that play Martz abandoned everything he was known for and it cost us dearly, did he let the critics get to him and chickened out? If Martz had been a ball-control, defense kind of coach I wouldn't blame him as much, if that was his style, but he completely abandoned his own style and tried to be something he was not. The whole team saw it, they were all looking out at the sideline waiting to hear a play called, waiting for Martz to make his move and give our offense the best possible shot at winning. But Martz remained passive and just let the time run out, he couldn't have said it more clearly - "I don't believe in you", and the team got the message. Can't remember a worse decision in terms of leadership in all the time I've watched the Rams, we had the momentum driving down the field and then we gave up.
