Shula was a friend hire. Down the road he may end up being a great DC, who knows. But he is not there yet and if he loses Watson for an extended period shit may get ugly before it gets better.

By the time Garrett returns we may be in a 1-4 hole. There's no telling how ugly shit may get.

Of course I hope we win a couple and everything trends the way we expected prior to the season. But this team has significant flaws through three games and even with their talent level overcoming that on top of a start that puts them at the bottom of the standings are going to be enormously difficult to overcome.

Starting in a hole isn't good, but they do have the talent to overcome that. I expect them to beat the Eagles.

Also, I'm more concerned about the offense than the defense. We left way too many points on the board last night. Stafford hasn't been sharp.

All this to say that I don't see Shula as the biggest issue, but he can improve from what we're seeing.
 
Not having Garrett can't be understated.....we're basically missing our defensive centerpiece.

The defense played well last night overall....I do think our two point conversion defense needs to be looked at. I weirdly feel more confident defending 1st and goal from the 2 than I do a two pt conversion at this point.

But overall, our special teams fucked us over with field position and then the last drive, refs

I'm done venting. We lost. We're 1-2. There are 14 games remaining....read: lots of time.

Looking back to last year, the Patriots started 1-2 and made the SB.
In 2024 The Eagles started 2-2 and won the SB.
In 2021 Cincinnati started 3-2 and made the SB.
In 2020, Tampa started 3-2 and won the SB.

So, it was not imperative for the Rams to start 5-0 to win the Super Bowl?

The moral of the story. 3 games does not a season make.

If we do not see improvement in special teams within the next two games, I want to see a coaching change.

While I am in agreement of your assessment you have to wonder why the Rams can’t figure out special teams. Is it really coaching or is it personnel? Forbes running out of bounds as a gunner and forcing the Rams to kick from 15 yards back which resulted in a loss of over 30 yards in field position late in the game. If you don’t have quality depth you are going to struggle on special teams. If McVay has a coaching flaw it’s his personnel choices on special teams. His first playoff loss was due to a punt returner fumbling multiple times in 2017 vs Atlanta and his most recent playoff loss was doomed by another fumble on a punt return against the Seahawks. There’s been at least 3 special teams coaching changes since them and they still can’t figure things out. Why would a new coach make a difference if you don’t have the right personnel on the field.

That 2020 Bucs team was 7-5 at one point and had several stinkers on their resume. Lotta ball left.

THAT is coaching. ;)

You can't separate coaching and personnel on this. Coaching has deemed him good enough to be on the roster. Also hasn't coached all the rules. Forbes needs his ass kicked all week for that play. Nothing but running all week long. Play to the end of the play and play in the field of play.
 
I’m not upset the Rams lost. But I ain’t happy about why we lost:
1) wtf giving up not 1 but 2 2pt plays. PTSD from last years Seahawks game gave me doubt the Rams would win when they gave up the first one.
2) XSmith. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again annd expecting different results. I’m serious when I say one of our tight ends could do a better job on punt returns. And for fucks sake, Titu over X Smith is a no-brainer as a WR.
3) 1 fucking sack. Figure out a way to put more pressure on opposing QBs. The one sack was a LB blitz. Learn from it Shula.
4) Refs. A team has to get over the occasional total shit call that occurs in Just about every game. but when there are literally 3X more penalties against one team unfairly, something needs to be fixed.

People may say so much for the "super team" Rams.

But our super team hasn't even ever really taken the field - puka only has played 1 game and Garrett really never has played.

Not exactly. That’s a former first round draft pick with lots of air between his ears. That’s not on a coach at any level. Some players are just incredibly stupid.

If you listen to players interviews at draft time you realize the NFL is not in the business of employing high IQ individuals, just great athletes.
 
I hope to see improvements from Shula because so far color me unimpressed and at times bewildered. Oh, as far as Ventrone he sucks and needs to be replaced before another game is put in jeopardy because of poor special teams play.
 
"penciled in as a loss"?
with this rams team even without puka vs bo nix? heck vs anybody?

i don't expect these rams to go undefeated but i expect them to be able to win each game.
