it's not doom and gloom, it's being realistic.
Here's the thing, McVay has been a contender most years he's been the Rams HC. Each of the last 2 seasons we've progressed to the point of expecting to be a championship caliber team this year. Fans know it, the players know it, so the stakes are high. Obviously unforeseen injuries could and would derail that. But we have expectations and so does McVay, but what we've been rolling out there the first 5 weeks is too undisciplined to be a serious contender at this point. Not saying it can't happen, but right now it doesn't pass the smell test.
