I think that nobody is wrong here. All parts of the team sucked ass. They got completely out coached. They got out hit. They had no intensity. Blame what or who you want for all of that you won't be wrong. I would just say, the offense needs the ball. giving up a 8 or 9 minute drive for a field goal out of the gate and letting them do it exactly like they have always done it cause you are playing a soft zone waiting for them to make a mistake, tells me the coaching has it's head up it's ass. Do they even watch the game?
I’d like to formally apologise to Raheem.
Clearly the soft zone never blitz defense is coming from Mcvay.
The idea is let’s not give up a big TD.
The problem is the approach gets the QB comfortable. It also make things much easier on the opposing run game.
We dont need to blitz every play. We should just be unpredictable with more aggressive blitzing and man coverage
The blitz disrupts the run game and gets the QBs timing off and hurries his passes. Not to mention putting him on his ass.
Total, total embarrassment of a defense and misuse of two excellent man defenders we brought on board.
Even with Donald and a healthy Garrett, you need to mix things up. A QB can anticipate pressure from a 4 man front even if two of those guys are great. The chipping game can also heavily mitigate a great front 4.
The hardest part of this, is it’s a replay of last year and Mcvay is being stubborn.
The first thing I said when we acquired Mcduffie was we better change our defensive philosophy or this will be an utter waste of talent. My greatest fear came true. Im so pissed.

The emphasis under McVay has always been offense.
Nothing wrong with that.
The Seahawks won without their starting QB (against the AFC champion) because they had built a shut down defense. Their offense doesn't succeed without their defense. We are the opposite.
But only because the D plays a wussie soft Defense

The Immaculate Exception
Fisher would of kicked 9 FGs and atleast made it 27 to 27.
I have no doubt McVay is heavily involved in setting the tone of the defense. His emphasis is sound. Do not give up big plays on defense. Extend TOP on offense. Execute at this highest levels. If you are executing better than your opponent, you usually have fewer turnovers and more 3rd down conversions. And you are much more likely to win.
I saw what McDuffie can do last night. He is legit. Let him be legit.
"Ok Chris remember the gameplan vs these bastids is have them snap it again. Over and over and over."

We're paying him to win us titles. He's got ONE. Shanny's got ZERO.
Hater.
Also if you don't stop it OS is gonna break out that ugly avatar again.
The Defense has been bad since halfway through season last year and again today. Sure the offense was just as bad yesterday, but the offense was #1 in the nfl last year.
The defense has been trending down for a half a season now - Certainly not "Amazing" that anyone would criticize it or the coaching.
Reminds me of the Linehan philosophy on offense. “As long as the drive ends in a kick”. Ass backwards no cajones approach.
No risk it no biscuit!!!!
I just fucking hate the lack of aggression.
One of the things I absolutely loved about the '99 Rams is that the were willing to go for the jugular on both offense and defense. For years prior to that awesome season, we had always played soft zone against WCO teams, who would use those fucking slant patterns to kill us. Finally, in '99, Peter Giunta said fuck that shit. He played much more man coverage, and much more bump and run, and generally, much more aggressively. Doing that, we fucking annihilated a 3-1 9er team, shattered their confidence, and sent their whole season into the shitter, picking off Jeff Garcia 3 times. Mike Jones got a pick six against those filthy cocksuckers in the second game we played against them. Carolina was one of the better WCO teams at the time, and our division rival. We got pick sixes against that fucking slant pattern in both Carolina games, the second one being especially awesome because Dre Bly jumped the route and essentially won the game clinched the division for us.
The '99 Rams had 8 defensive TD's overall as that team was both aggressive and opportunistic as fuck. They alsodidn't give up a single 100-yard rushing performance by any player for the entire season. And that defense did not have the talent this D does, even before Donald takes the field.
That '99 team was a testament to aggressiveness, going for the throat, playing to win, and not using the excuse of "we're scared to give up a big play" as a way of pussing out with your defensive scheme. It showed in the results as they walloped the fuck out of most of their competition that year, winning most of their games by lopsided margins. A typical Rams game in '99 was effectively over by halftime, and Sundays were nice, easy breezes of watching them score often and give up little.
It took two very stout defenses in the postseason to finally slow the Rams O down, but the D did its job and the opponents couldn't prevent us from making a big play when we needed it most.
I really fucking wish McVay would take a philosophical page from that season.
1:17. That's how you fucking do it:

Every year with every DC change we have this same exact discussion. Every year people refuse to believe McVay has anything to do with it. Maybe that will change some day. I mean you saw first hand yet again Thursday night but hey
McVay certainly takes some blame with the defense as well... undoubtedly his hand is in it.
McVay needs to find a DC he trusts and let him do his job.

What's Jim Schwartz up to? Hint hint.
He's probably taking the year off after The CLE Browns front office fucked him over for Head Coach consideration this off season. MG95 definitely has him waiting on speed dial.
For the record I'm not hating on Shula. However he's been with McVay since 2017 right? I think LBs coach and earned his way up the tree after Raheem left. So far with all these badasses on defense especially now really is deflating.
