Any chance it'll be better next week??
Well, consider the old cliche X's and O's vs Jim's and Joe's. McVay is good with X's and O's. But so is Shanahan. And he has better Jim's and Joe's. Our defense seems to be poor with the tackling. 49ers thrive on yards after catch/contact. Our offensive line is depleted. They have a good enough defensive line the exploit that. It all sure points to a mismatch. But there's always that any given Sunday thing. So anything is possible.

Show me all the white corner backs and get back to me.
Reeder and Rozenbloom are try hard guys who should not be starting on a NFL playoff team.
They don't play corner, lol. Plenty of good cracker linebackers out there tho

But you were talking about linebackers.
Come one dude. I was mad after a horrible loss and made a statement.
Now do not try and tell me we are all the same, because we are not. Its not a bad thing either, its reality.
BTW, I am a white stiff.

Dumbest fuckin roster move of the off-season. The Ernest Jones wouldn't have mad a difference crowd is tripping. He's a starter. Rozenboom and Reeder are bottom roster type players that shouldn't ever see the field unless there are massive injuries or we blow a team out.
That future 6th round pick sure makes us better today

What crowd. I don't think I've seen anyone saying Reeder is better than Jones. Even with Speights it is wild hope more than anything else that we hit on a real ILB. Because in a way we are due for that, as it has not happened since Fletch.

Jones was a business call. If Speights can do the job though the Rams could still come out of this in decent stead. There's no telling. He might not be very good. But I suspect this is a case of the young DC learning a hard lesson on thinking you can make a depth player into a starter. And after that AZ game, not to mention with SF pending, Shula better be telling McVay he's gonna start Speights. Because while Speights might not be good enough we already know that Reeder isn't good enough. So go with the guy who has a chance.

Was that 1st TD to Harrison really in bounds?

Has anyone seen a definitive replay?
Absolutely not. I was stunned when they confirmed it in like 10 seconds. Guess they want the big name rookie to have a splash play? He definitely did not get his left foot down after securing the catch. Period.
This running up the gut with impunity is horrible. If you can not stop that, the NFL will eat you alive.
Not impressed with Shula. I seen several Rams defenders lollygagging-jogging. (Hoecht ?) Did Shula not tell his young players not to run at the midget in a bee line. You must contain him.
We are going to have to deal with Harrison Jr for a decade. He is a beast. We have no freak Wrs like him and certainly no inside linebackers who are big, fast and can tackle. Big, slow white dudes.
Put the new kid in there.
And see if Whittington can be this years Puka. I like what I see, he can play.
Its a mess.

Both of these are regarding Jones. Yes, worst roster move perhaps of any team in the offseason. 1 week before starting the season you dump your best, most impactful defender for next to nothing. He was UNDER CONTRACT this season too. Who give a fuck if he walks after the season, you have a chance to get an equal comp pick then the garbage you received. I know for a fact we would look better on D with him out there. By all accounts he is ballin out on the Titans....

Teams starting 0-3 make the playoffs about 2.5 percent of the time. And our depleted team is playing a road game at home against a superior opponent.

Not in my opinion, he hadn't secured it before touching out of bounds but we never got a good angle to be sure and since it was ruled a touchdown it's how it stood. Here is a replay of it. Imo, he didn't secure it until the snapshot I posted below and was after one of his feet was no longer touching. He was kind of juggling it above his head before bringing it in to body to secure. But oh well, it didn't really matter since they just did whatever they wanted all day anyway.
I don’t think he was in bounds with possession and surprised how quickly they called it a touchdown. They took no time to review, moved on to the PAT really quick.

In the end it didn’t matter, but the Cardinals grabbed momentum from that. Who knows how that affected things… The NFL is a game of momentum.

Really didn’t matter no one on the Rams could tackle Murray as we really missed AD.

Crowd refers to the people who are saying Jones wouldn't have made much of a difference in this past game. I call BS on that one, that's all I'm saying. Obviously can't go back on that note, I agree on Speights being the one who should get a chance.

In before da lock!!!
In hindsight, looks like the Rams may have made some boneheaded mistakes this offseason. Looked so promising, now....
Down so many starters, including Higbee, Kupp, Puka, Avila, A.Jackson, D.Will, JJIII, Hav.... missing any?
Attrition of ILB Jones now looks like a bad mistake.
Oh well. Let's go Rams -- maybe Speights & J.Whit can give us a spark! In McSnead I trust!
