The Niners were selling out stacking the line and someone in every gap. The talking heads were saying that play was doomed from the start since the qb isn’t a threat they had numbers and the rams had already used their timeouts. And considering the weekly oline breakdowns in crucial situations that decision wasn’t the greatest.

Can you imagine with Nacua stacked inside and the niners selling out how open he'd be if McVay had called play action and had Nacua running an out or crosser. Probably the game winner.

That is exactly the play I was hoping for. Playaction with a short pass to the flats or crosser. Would have been a perfect play call (provided Staff puts it on them).

He should be sick that it ever even got to that point when we were playing against a highly depleted roster.

Some of the execution problems (fumbles, dropped passes) are not on him. But coming out flat and letting the D stay in a gameplan that was perfect for their offense to have success off of most certainly is his fault.

Whatever you think about that last call, that's not where McVay's focus should be. His focus should be on how it got to that point when we were at home with a lot more talent on our roster and still managed to play down to their level and lose.

The 9ers could not put pressure on Stafford. A run up the middle was what they expected, since we were running the clock down. Bad call indeed...

The Rams have a tendency to play down to the opposition. It goes back decades...

Just another bone head play call by our beloved coach. Glad we have him, hopefully he will rally the guys and they’ll bounce back. 2 excruciatingly painful kick in the nuts losses.. we shall see.

I am not counting on it. Tired of losing sleep over these people. I will be shocked if we make the playoffs.

No, that's not a franchise thing, that's a coaching thing.

During the GSOT era, most of the time the Rams would get big leads on inferior teams and coast to victory. Sure, they were a loaded team, but they consistently played like a loaded time, with it not being uncommon to go into halftime practically having the game in the bag already.

During McVay's first two years, when the Rams played an inferior opponent they generally won comfortably. His first game as coach they played a less talented Colts team and won by 37 points. Later that season we went to the Meadowlands to play a struggling Giants team and dropped a 50 burger on them. Late in the season with control of the division on the line, against a Seahawks team that wasn't as good as the Rams but was still decent, the Rams fucking annihilated and humiliated them, on their turf.

During McVay's second year at the helm, the Rams walloped the Cardinals by a score of 34-0, smoked the 9ers in their house 39-10, and smashed the Cardinals again 31-9 in their house. They put up 48 on a lesser 9ers team to close out the season and won comfortably.

Lately, we rarely if ever see that. This year we struggled with a Tennessee team that's now 0-4 before pulling away. While the Colts were 3-0, we clearly had a more talented roster and needed late game heroics to pull out the win after an mediocre first half and an awful 3rd quarter. We struggled against a struggling Texans team that has only one win - 26-0 against the same Tennessee team we struggled with for over a half.

While McVay is a good coach, and certainly better than the 3-4 coaches that preceded him, he's not a great coach right now, and this has been this way for a couple of years now (I'm not counting the MASH unit of 2022) failed to play up to its talent level on anything approaching a consistent basis. Of all the people in that building, HE has to do better, and that means he has to take a good hard look at himself and figure out why his team can't assert superiority over clearly inferior teams, and why the Rams end up in dogfights with so many of them. The buck stops with him.

wow...

the rams are 3-2 and both losses were a coin flip....neither one a blowout....

and a few of you yaks are pretending to give up for the season???

must be the same crowd that gave up last season... or the season before that...

please do... go away

i'm in the never give up crowd, that was so amped toward the end of each of those seasons, i could hardly control myself at the local bar watching my beloved rams crawl out of the gutter to come so close... 2 years in a row!!!!

i'm not so sure the debbie downers remember the 1-4 or 3-6 starts...

a couple of those losses were not close... a good reason for you to doubt, but the team roared back to become the team no one wants to play by seasons end... yeah, get lost losers... some people are just pathetic pretend ramfans... or maybe just clik mongers.. hoping for a reaction, you got it!

pretty obvious to me, withstanding injury, the rams will be more formidable this year, than both last year and the year before...

rant over...

go rams
