My Assessment Of The Last 3 Games

That analysis on OBJ's route... You can see his burst and athleticism. OBJ still has his suddenness man he straight leaves that DB.

Completely agree. A few weeks ago I would've suggested he was washed up now given his recent production and the narrative around him. But when his dad posted the video of him getting open, it was obvious he still had a ton of juice. Always been a great route runner with amazing hands. If he came in motivated I knew he would be a legit weapon for us.

People want to blame Stafford and yes the turnovers have been bad..yes he's playing through injury it seems. But the root of all our problems are the OL, and I've been saying it since the TEN game. No movement at all up front. We cannot pass block or run block right now. And our defense and special teams are pretty horrendous so it's no secret why we're not winning games.

The fact that McVay has refused to draft top OL talent and instead wants to bring in gadget offensive weapons is what will ultimately be the downfall of this team. Majority of our OL are late round picks or outcasts and while they are average a lot of the time, against top end DL talent they will falter. You would think McVay would've learned his lesson after the Super Bowl about how important OL is, yet his hubris always wins out. Just look at SF and how they dominate games up front. If we had that type of OL we would be so much better on offense.

I have to respectfully disagree. Stafford had enough time on most passing plays. Had he thrown to an underneath receiver or the running back, he would have been fine. Stafford has been holding the ball too long almost as if he wants the 79 yard TD on every play.

On the flip side, the F-N whiners came into our game perfectly happy to get 4-7 yards on each play, nullifying our pass rush then we played right into their hands with 2 turnovers. After that they took the air out of the ball and we never got back into that game. Almost the same thing happened with the ass packers.

Of course I don't know if McVay is calling for only home run plays or not but we need to get back to some play action and more diversity in play calling. Against Green bay, we ran on first down like every single time. Too predictable and Green Bay took advantage of it.

What’s Really Wrong With the Rams Offense?​

Matthew Stafford was supposed to supercharge Sean McVay’s scheme. But the offense has become stagnant in recent weeks. What gives?

There’s been a drastic downturn since the calendar turned over to November. The Rams have lost three consecutive games, and, over that span, they rank 30th in EPA per play, per RBSDM.com. Stafford’s blunders have been the driving factor behind this slump; since Week 9, he’s lost 47.7 expected points on sacks and interceptions, which leads the league by a healthy margin, per TruMedia. But the struggles of the Rams offense are about more than just a few mistakes.

There’s rot beneath the surface here that should alarm McVay, Stafford, and every fan in Los Angeles. The team’s success rate, which wouldn’t be impacted by a high number of turnovers, is down by nearly 10 percentage points since Week 9. And, per TruMedia, Stafford’s EPA on completed passes has dropped from 1.17 per play, which led the league over the first eight weeks, down to 0.70 per play since Week 9, which ranks 19th over that span, according to TruMedia. In other words, the “good” plays haven’t been nearly as productive and the bad plays have been downright catastrophic.

So maybe it’s McVay who isn’t holding up his end of the bargain. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen his offense go careening off a cliff after a strong first half. It’s becoming a yearly tradition at this point.

The bottom line here is that the Rams aren't fooling defenses any longer.

Defenses are on to both our downfield passing game and the actual routes and are successfully scheming against them.

Which imo is a big part of what went wrong with our previous though different offense last year and even before that.

IMHO...

stafford is playing hurt... it's not an excuse though, but he needs to get therapy on his back... (he most likely is, we just don't know it)...

back issues flare up due to overwork,colder temps,and of coarse contact/hits...

i've had back issues (pinched nerve/disc protrusion)) due to construction for 40+ years... lying down and resting doesn't work, nor does heat... what cures my issues is light walking and movement.... sitting or lying around just prolongs the problem...

not sure what sort of back issues matt has, but if it's a nerve, then follow the above advice...

again, IMHO...
