Football gods Punishing us/Mcvay for lack of the run game?

Coming in to this season, We were one of the top offenses in the League. True to that we Were Top 10 Last year. Now what got us there was our rushing which opened the field more. This year so far in 2 games we are avg 68 Rushing yards a game. Last year we were double that. Seems when we are less than 80yards for our starters, we are doomed from the start. Now it seems all of our Weapons reguarding Passing are taken out. Is the Rams being punished for not being a rushing team?

We are 4th in Passing
31st in Rushing

Our WRs are getting blasted non stop, because they block most plays, then run thier route and then fighting for passes then get blasted again. Do this all game for the same 2 guys with 100s of snaps, no wonder they cant heal. They are being overworked to the point even healthy they cant do it. Kupp has something like 7 plays in a row for him in game 1. What about having TE do some blocking, and Kyren being a work horse and grind out yards. If hes tired, bring in Corum. Get the TE involved on a quick pass play. Not 7-10 pass plays to Kupp, then 1 random rushing play that gets stopped, and mcvay goes back to pass. Keep the Offense on the field as long as possible so our crappy ass defense cant give up a TD.

Are all the injuries mounting to force Mcvay out of his 90% pass habit?

I know its not a great team to compare to but Saints are avg over 40 points first 2 games and they are dead last in passing. 1st in rushing.
Vikings similar vibe. Running the ball. Steelers same top 10 rushing, bottom 5 passing. If we get a combo of 100 + rushing/gm and that will open the flood gates for Stafford to throw. Yes Stafford has his dumb moments but most of them are seasons where he gets hit alot.

The questions are do we go find o-line help via trade and Go rush heavy? Do we get a Vet WR to run with the rooks for cheap who is riding the bench on another team? Deal with what we have?

My 2cents ( which dont matter) is We get Dline help via trade some how and sign, and or trade for a Vet WR to hold down til at least Puka can return. Maybe grind some wins.

VENT Official Vent Thread - Will be taken down in 24 hours

I want everyone to keep in mind that we all saw what we saw today. It would be best if you all acknowledge that and don't get too carried away. It was a shit show from all angles. I think we all get that.

So keep in mind. We're still not cool with the "fire ______" or "_____ sucks" and so forth.

That said, vent away. But please keep your heads about you.

Cheers

Game Day Thread

The GDT is a live thread tradition here at ROD.

While we all get fired up watching the game, please remember our core principles; we always show respect for our team and each other.

Despite the emotional highs and lows watching a game, we will moderate this thread with that in mind, however please refrain from name calling. This applies to players, the Rams organization, and each other.

This is the core rule of the GDT. Moderators are tasked to issue thread bans, at a minimum, to maintain this standard.

This is our team. Win or lose. Good days and bad. We are here for FUN, not to be dragged down.

A more loosely moderated atmosphere can be found in the chat room.

Go Rams!

9/11 Memorial Thread.

The twenty-third anniversary of the most infamous attack on our soil since Pearl Harbor. I just wanted to post that to remember those who died.

The people on the planes.

The people in the Twin Towers.

The people in the Pentagon.

And now the first responders who are dying from cancer given by the building's collapse.

Also, to remember @Angry Ram 's point on the innocent people targeted for no reason other than looking similar to the terrorists.

So many people suffered that day, and yet...so many people came together in unity, so many countries gave everything to us in our hour of need. So many stories of bravery in the Towers, on Flight 93. Let us never forget them all.
