I think that locker room feels like they can beat our asses physically. And they can. From there nobody is a genius.
Agree up to a point. But the same team that beat us physically twice in the regular season last year got beat by us physically in the NFC championship game. You've got to ask why.
On top of that, despite all the OL injuries, we did move the ball on them quite a bit tonight. But we didn't execute in the red zone and we are force feeding Kupp too much (great as he is, we need some variety).
And I don't feel like it was really a physical ass-whipping of our D, so much as we gave them the same shit we give them every time. They weren't able to trample all over us, but they did have Deebo's TD and a couple of huge 3rd down conversions that were largely facilitated by the fact our D scheme against them is the same one that has let them beat us every regular season game JimmyG is behind center.
It starts at the top, and McVay and Morris need to seriously look in the mirror and realize they can't continue to do the same shit against these guys one regular season game after another and expect different results. Not excusing the poor play by QB1 and some of the other mistakes, but it starts at the top.
And notice I keep emphasizing regular season, because there was that
one game recently where we did something different and it worked.
