leads get blown by the best teams in the league every year. the best teams weather that during the game and end up winning most of the time.

I think defense, especially ours is like a o-line. They just need more time together, before they are #1.
Right now they are "3rd in fewest yards, 12th in fewest points allowed ... and that includes the 6 points on pick 6, so really a top-10 scoring defense "
Even if Garrett never played this is a top 5 defense that is only gonna get better.
I for the most part have loved what I'm seeing. I see an super aggressive defense
that needs to be getting more sacks from our Dline ,which in a 3/4 I still count the OLB's
(EDITED: incorrect stats) our Dlineman. 3 Games and 2 sacks.1 and 1 sack from a ILB.
We get a lot of pressure, but do not get home. We definitely need Garrett

You have to know though that the Rams blew 16 pt or more leads three times in slightly more than a year. They had done the same only THREE TIMES in the last 25 YEARS!! So yes, it's a trend, and a big problem.
The seagull loss was 100% Mcvay. The d got what should have been the game winning interception. The crowd was silent.
Then Mcvay called the 3 lamest plays in nfl history. With every down you could see the players getting more intense and hear the crowd cheer louder and louder. Then the punt return td and the crowd was in a frenzy. In one minute Mcvay had completely changed the complexion of the game.
.
9-7 is probably enough for a play off spot so looking at the schedule there is no reason at all to panic. That said, our early schedule hasn’t exactly been easy and the ball hasn’t bounced our way. As McVay says, we will come together and play better as the season progresses. With the returning injuries Nov, Dec, Jan and hopefully Feb will be fun, irrespective of where we finish in the best division in football
Or it's simply an anomaly. I'll go with that, especially considering the 3 teams who came back were quality teams. Others can go with "oh my god it's a terrible trend and a huge problem"!!!!!
As far as "they had done the same only 3 times in the last 25 years" how many 16 point leads did they have over that span? My bet is from 2005-2016, not very many if at all, so that's leaning on the lamp post just a bit, eh?

I know he's not perfect, but I try to keep things in perspective for the big picture. Chuck Knox in the 70's was pretty amazing too but never got a ring.
Holy shit!!!! Came back from 10 points down??? Okay, that's the key......if your behind, you can't blow a lead.

The Immaculate Exception
Only the offense knows for sure. ****************
The defense is doing their fucking job, even though Shula has had some arrows aimed his way. Philly scored 17 points today when they took over at the Rams 28, 17 and 35 on an interception, punt return and interception scoring a FG, TD and TD.
Against Denver the D allowed 16 points but they made the play to stop any further damage at the 8 yard line, except the refs didn't see it that way.
So the last 2 games 31 of the opponent 50 points against the D were given to them. Give the D shit about 19 points in 2 games?
The offense has turned the ball over 7 times the first 4 games. That has got to fucking stop.
The special teams have sucked through the first 4 games. That has got to fucking stop.
We need to put some head hunters on special teams.
And we need to make better decisions on offense.

Yep.
I am fairly certain without looking that we are the first team ever to play their first four games in four different time zones.
And I am going to look at the positives for special teams - you can argue that only our punt operation needs fixed. Mevis missed another FG, but it was rainy and the entire team was playing like shit. I think that's probably due to the four different time zones.
Mevis will be fine. Our kick coverage appears to be in good shape. We need to get better gunners, coach Bachman on always catching the punt and replace Evans and then we will be set.
Stafford has been off and yet we're still 2-2. In terms of personnel, we played teams with good to great defenses.
And yet through four weeks we are going to be close to the top of the NFL in yards and yards allowed.
McVay needs to get a call with the league office and really get into these bullshit penalties - but now is when the fun begins.
Stafford is just terrible in the rain.
His one interception in the Giants game was a long pass. Those interceptions happen from time to time.
The interceptions are an issue (6 through 4 games; 8 the entire 2025 season) but that's going to happen in any weather. He takes risks, loves his arm and forces the ball sometimes. Most times the Rams are rewarded, but it's the pick 6's or ints in our end that cause problems. But like that ex-Cardinal coach used to say, "no risk-it, no biscuit". We need the D and TE room to get healthy and we'll be fine.

Im not worried about Bills as Much as Everyone else. If our D can lock them down, we winning. Offense need to Shred thier Bullshit ass Defense up, and Put 40 on them.They are Ranked 30th in Defense.
Superbowl year Stafford Threw 17 Ints, and 8 in last 4 Games of the Season! His Bad Throw % is Actually Down Compared to Normal, He will shake it off!
Most Of Stafford INTs came in a 5 Game Span at the End of last year.
