Yeah Vinobitch is notorious for favoring home teams.

That is what I thought I read. I just tried to rewatch the game. Niners didn't get their first penalty until 13 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

I turned it off a few plays later when I watched Sensabaugh wiff coverage. . . AGAIN!

I agree that with a horizontal passing game being used as an extension of the run game, there is no point in throwing the ball, just run it. 3rd and forever, just run the dam ball. Get rid of the WRs, replace them with TEs. Replace the TEs on the Oline with Olinemen and run the dam ball, 1940s style baby, but with cooler uniforms. Get rid of the QB position and let Gurley take the direct snap to run it or hand it off to T Austin.

I think the Rams position is fair enough after last night. The Seahawks and the Texans are too high and I still don't understand the disrespect for the Jets.

Your not the only one. He speaks in phrases and will divert to something that tells the story vs straight answering the question. He also gets a little twitchy, but that may be just nervous energy. Certainly has a lot of pressure, so I understand.

Would love to have Kupp playing for us. The kid is a flat out beast.

From all the posts I've seen about all our players, we have a lot of beasts. Maybe we need some humans????

Too late for me to comment on everything or thread. They all sucked last nite.

Except Hekker!!

Lost in the mahem of last nights debacle was how bad JJ was missed. Sensabaugh was either beat or out of position against a reciever that was just signed this week in Curley. Furthermore, his tackling was atrocious. TJJ would consistantly break through WR blocks and make an outstanding open field tackle. He was also one of the "play makers" on D, capable of a pick 6. I understand the rationale of why he is no longer here, but we can question why we did not lock him up this time last year (similar to Austin and Brockers this year). The Cody Sensabaugh experiment is over. Gaines cannot get on the field fast enough

I know that you are right, I was just dreaming out loud lol

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it is real loss to FB. There was a time where such movement after playing was more common and I do not think it is a good thing that that supply into the coaching ranks is being reduced.

Now I will say that I think the better coaches from the player ranks would be the ones that honed their craft over the guys who dominated with their physical skills. For example I would think that Bruce would be far better than Moss as a coach. Bruce was for many years considered the best route runner in the league. He worked hard to improve his catching and route skills and can pass that on. Moss dominated off being bigger, faster, and jumping higher. I am not sure that he could relate to the 5th round draft pick who is an average size and speed for a receiver and be able to show him how to elevate his game so that he stands out. Where Bruce may have tricks and training techniques he used that he could impart and use to help the kid Moss can't help the kid become amazingly fast or out jump everyone. Let me be clear that I am not saying Moss has nothing to teach, just that it would be harder for him to relate and is less likely to have a big of a bag of tricks as someone like Bruce.

If Keenum couldn't or wouldn't audible outta all the short throws and call ONE FADE PATTERN...ONE BACK SHOULDER THROW...or just can't see guys open downfield...Man I don't know what else to say...He's not an NFL QB....Must be some super nice guy...But no way in hell he can beat out any QB in a real competition...he didn't beat out Mannion imo...Had Mannion took snaps last year, he may have beaten out Goff...Keenum can't even throw the damn ball anymore with steam on it...all floaters and timing and dimes...okay....some rant against arm strength all day....Give Keenum a cannon, and he'd probably be decent...He still has accuracy & timing issues....

Oh yeah.... @Dagonet

Can't wait till the rubber burns this damn road up....

It appeared that the blue was lighter than the blue last year, but darker than the old royal blue. Maybe they are trying to change the color slowly over time, a little lighter every couple games in hopes that the NFL uniform nazis wont notice.

That's what it looked like to me.

And what does Kroenke pissed off look like? He had a frumpy look on his face? Or did he have words?

Click to expand...

Who knows, I doubt anyone knows what he said, that's just what was reported. Someone doesn't get as wealthy as Kroenke without getting pissed off at others, and without flexing some muscle.

I don't think you have to be experienced to be a good OC. You have to be capable. Boras is likely not capable. I don't believe a whole lot of experience would help much.

Fisher likes him because everything is short and safe. Sooner or later they'll make a few plays, the defense will play well and they'll win a few games. Just like Fisher's 4 plus years tenure. The more things change the more they stay the same.

They are not a .500 team. They're not gonna improve much offensively if at all. The QB and receivers are among the worst in the league. The HC/OC isn't capable of adjusting to fit the talent. They are just what they've always been under Fisher. A team who struggles offensively with a better than average defense that needs to be elite if they want to win. They are not elite.

Not sure why anyone would be surprised. We have had the same offense the last 4 years. It is pathetic and easy to predict. Fisher has no vision and should not be in the league. The sad part is that IF we get rid of him (should have canned him 2 years ago) we will have to retool and learn everything from scratch and more than that, we have given our 1st round pick next year away already for a QB that............(Different subject not going there)

I am embarrassed (again) to be a Rams fan

I think it took Ogletree a bit to settle in at the middle, but he got better as the game went on. I don't believe the coaches had him ready for the scrambling though.

I don't think I would settle for Les at this point.

Fatbot said:

"They" didn't make us one-dimensional, the Rams did by naming Keenum their starting QB. Sorry but there's very little credit to the 49ers in this one, they just needed to have enough guys on the field to not forfeit while the Rams sucked ass.

Click to expand...

Lol, another team the Rams give a false sense of accomplishment. Now they think they have this great team only to find it was the opponent, not them. They'll be back to normal next game.

Fisher f*cked himself with that 7-9 speech on Hard Knocks. It felt ominous when I heard it ,and now it seems like it's all coming to fruition. Again. About the 5 stages... that reminds me of this...

I replied to a tweet last night, before the game, saying that what they should do on the first offensive play of the game was run a play-action fake, 80 yard bomb down the sidelines. If nothing else it would get them thinking.

Instead they came out with their game plan, which everybody knew was their game plan, and stuck with it. Even though they might as well have had the 49ers calling their plays, that's how obvious they were.

There may be some talent on the offensive side of the line, but it's not THAT good that it can overcome the other team basically knowing what play you are going to run.

That was just a terrible coaching job. Terrible. Even if Keenum muffs every deep throw then at least you can say "well, that's on the QB, it was a good strategy to open up some lanes for Gurley..." But to not even try, to just keep pounding the ball into a nine man front...

Getting shut out in the NFL doesn't happen all too often anymore.

I watched the first few series and didn't like what I saw so I went to bed.

Woke up this morning and WOW!

I recorded it but maybe I'll pass... sounds painful.

wow that was great

"that was the most exciting thing to happen tonight" haha.. we suck..

Merlin said:

Worst thing is Snead was quoted this offseason as saying if they had Keenum in previous years they would have made the playoffs. He is subordinate to Fish, and thus part of the problem tbh.

The guy who needs to make a move if this team continues to field this BS offense is Demoff. That's the one who has the power to tell Stan it's time to make the change and set up for a new regime.

Click to expand...

I agree Merlin... Demoff is Stan's right hand man and he would be the one that carries the big stick. I trust Demoff and have faith he will do whats best for the team. I'm sure there were some long conversations over breakfast this morning between Demoff and Kroenke.
