Rams are 7-4 "Kumbaya Thread"

[-X-]

You’ll only see certain posters in this thread and the rest will spend 99% of their time in the vent thread/ bash someone thread and that speaks louder than any post ever could.

We're a shade better overall than the 2017 11-5 team and a step behind the 2018 13-3 team. We'll finish 12-4 this year & go 14-2 or 15-1 next year.

I think our D, despite the late letdown yesterday, is better than either of 2017 and 2018.

The O? When they're good, they can be almost as good as the 2018 team (games 1-11 that is), but when they are bad they are nowhere near the 2017 team. If they could be as consistently as good as at least the 2017 Rams, this team would be very hard to beat.

Since I've been supporting the Rams (1988) we are 230-292 in the regular season.
That's an average of 7-9.

I'm Jeff Fisher, and I approve of this message.

It’s not a loss, it’s a learning experience

The Rams offense will average 30 ppg over the last five, I gaurantee it. This offense is about to explode.

1. The 49ers even with Kittle out are a REALLY good team (Mullins IMO is not a big drop-off from Crappola).
2. Shanahan and Saleh are REALLY good coaches.
3. Rams had a short week after a tough win. 49ers had a bye and 2 weeks to game plan us.
4. Both sides made mistakes. We made a couple more.
5. Juszczyk made the 4th and 1 by inches. A foot shorter we likely win.
6. We down Hekker's punt at the 1 instead of a TB we have a good chance to pin them deep and get it back.
7. Ramsay on Deebo and maybe we get it back instead of the crucial long 3rd down conversion late.
8. Ramsay doesn't jump offsides on the late FG, its a 48 yarder, maybe a miss.

I know, IF ONLY, IF ONLY.
But say one of these goes better for us, and we drive down and kick the winning FG.
A lot of this moaning and groaning goes away. It's a tough grind it out comeback win.
Look at the stats. It was a pretty close game. 49ers are GOOD.
Didn't go our way. It happens.
This was always a tossup game if we are being realistic.

In their case, they envy this message.

The WCO guys are all pretty similar IMO. Both Shanny and McVay the way to make their offense look very un-genius-like is to stuff their run game. Do that and all of a sudden everything built off that run action looks like garbage and it's all on the QB. Last few matchups that Shanny has beaten McVay all have that in common, that run game disruption.

Once that happens it's two division teams sluggin it out. Which is what we saw, along with some key QB mistakes. But either way as infuriating as that game was if we keep it in perspective it's pretty clear we have just as much a shot as any other NFC team. We can still say "why not us."

If you remember, we ran the ball just fine in the first match up

"Overall" meaning all facets considered. If you swapped our defensive and offensive ranks, the 2017 and 2020 teams are seemingly mirror images. That 2017 team had a last place schedule, though, while the 2018 team had a first place schedule.

Going by pure ppg, it looks like the 2017 team was McVay's best so far:

2017: #1 offense, #12 defense
2018: #2 offense, #20 defense
2019: #11 offense, #17 defense
2020: #19 offense, #4 defense

Well, they had to go an lock the damn thing, so where am I supposed to let it out? Certainly not in the boobies or booty threads, which are all goodness and light!

Yea until your wife sees you beating your monkey while looking at a woman with boobs 4x bigger than your wife’s. At which time your wife cheats with some horny coworker, takes all your money and forces you into the ghetto where you eat frozen food every night because your lazy and depressed and have no wife to cook.

Other than that yea booby threads rule !

Don't know if I should laugh or.... damn. That's the ROD version of a country song...

I learned early in my marriage that if caught floggin the dolphin the way to handle it is insist she come help and turn it into a larger event. Then all of a sudden you'll find she won't always want to interrupt your "meditations."

It's little things like that a man needs to know lol. Like when a friend of mine told me his wife always wakes up and interrogates him when he gets home late after benders. I told him my solution is to quit sneaking in all quiet. Kick the door in, bellow for your woman and stomp down the hall. If she doesn't want to put out she'll be "sleeping."

Some solid advice right here

Impressed with the new kicker. That’s all I got.

Rams released these last week. Your son is a big Kupp fan, right? These might interest him.

Rewatched the game. One thing that is VERY apparent on replay is the Niners DB’s held our WRs all game long. It’s that same technique that the legion of boom used to run and the Cowboys ran last year. It’s basically grab real
Quick and let go before it’s noticed
And shield their body without grabbing. Fricken annoying it didn’t get called and it was going on all game at key times. It’s the cheating ways Sherman brought from Seattle. It’s so sneaking the refs don’t call it cuz it’s hard to see.

Also, I watched Noteboom exclusively. He was really solid in pass pro besides the one sack he gave up. His run blocking was serviceable. Disengaged his guy too soon a few times but also had mostly solid blocks. I would give him a B grade all around. Definitely better as a LT then guard. Two good games in a row.

Looking at the playoff seeding the Niners game was meaningless
Really. It comes down to winning 2 of 3 games against AZ and SEA.

Wildcard is almost desirable as we may draw The NFC East division champ or Seattle both which we would be heavily favored.

If we manage to win the division we are probably facing Seattle or Tampa.

I forget the play late in the game... it was a sideline throw to Woods... he appeared to have a case for PI, had he shown a little emotion about it the ref seemed trigger ready to me.

I’d have to rewatch to confirm what I saw, but it looked like PI to me and it would have been a big call at the time.

Instead incomplete pass. I think we ended up punting this drive.
