The Rams won.  I wouldn't say they beat our asses.  If you look at Whit's group specifically, they gave up 2 sacks, 5 QB Hits, and only averaged 1.87 ypc in the run game.  Both of the sacks were at least partially on him.  Hendrickson beat him on both reps, getting the sack for himself on the first and forcing Stafford to step up into Reader on the second.  

Honestly, that '11-'15 OL group always under achieved in the playoffs, allowing 15 sacks in the 5 one and done's during that period.  

However, when your team is on an 8-0 start and one of your captains is more focused on threatening to quit mid season to strong arm the team into an extension instead of winning a SB(or even just one playoff game), there's a big issue. Frankly, there are a lot of guys in the NFL that are mostly about their money.  You can win with guys like that, but not by having them in core positions of leadership.
