Stafford is missing them at a much higher percentage this year and not consistently making the throws he made in the past to compensate. He's not been performing like a top QB.
The miss you are talking about today wasn’t a miss. I don’t know who you guys can watch that replay and call that a missed throw. The ball hit right off of Puka’s hands.

Rams came out unprepared, passionless and looked like a team that just expected to win.

Also.. I’m talking big picture.. they deserve to lose.

That’s how I feel about them as an organization right now.
I don’t disagree about that.
 
I'm 6'3" 225 fit for the funny fat ones with conditions. Our Los Angeles Rams suck ass from Sean McVay. Your wife or girlfriend will ALWAYS be fat. McVay can change he won't.

I'm over it! I said it in the chat I'm done with McVays play calling and game planning. Yes he's one of if not the best coaches we've ever had but he needs to give up play calling. The offense is inexcusable. He needs to manage the whole team and he's failing at that. There's no world we should be 2-4 and in last fucking place in the division. Get your shit together Rams.
That is the next logical step. Will he realize that he needs to step back and be a big picture guy. I am sure he tries like hell to be that now, but with calling plays and being so involved with the offense, can he? Can he figure that out?
 
I am trying to just break it down by loss

Cards lost after 36 yards given up on a play where (2 penalties were applied) strange
Bills Lost a game in OT after missing a very makeable FG ( missed a 2nd fg and a 2pt ) rare
Broncos Lost after an interception was called PI (later was said to be a wrong call) very strange

It just has to end, what a strange season
 
Look, all units can play better but generally if you give up 18 points, you should win about 75% of the time.

On the other hand, if you only score 16, you'll lose about 90% of the time. Yeah, it's a team game and all that, but the offense is fucked. Every week there's an excuse. We knew we were missing our starting LT. Come up with a plan to compensate. They had no answers for the blitz. We have no blitz beating runs?

Edit: SF has won over the years with significant injuries, including their LT, so I outright reject the excuses.
Yeah.. I get where you’re coming from.. but I just disagree because the D couldn’t make enough plays.. especially at the end.

That’s Jacoby fucking Brissett.

McVay and the offense were terrible today.. Special Teams were terrible.. and the defense, when you consider the opponent, was bad. Loooong drives. Minimal pressure. Poor tackling.

I did not see the same thing. It looked to be a tad long and too far inside to me. Nor does that change him missing Adams deep early in the game or him checking down to Parkinson when Puka was running free behind the defense. Stafford has missed a lot of throws this year that he normally makes.

Honestly our losses last year were just as crazy, they just didn’t happen in succession like this.

We get FGs blocked on back to back drives vs Philly. Either one of them goes in and we win. We miss multiple kicks and Kyren fumbles on the one foot line in a loss to SF. We blow a 16 point 4Q lead to Seattle thanks to a punt return and the luckiest 2 point conversion in NFL history.

This team just finds a way to lose games in the most inexplicable ways possible.

That 2 point conversion that was gifted to seattle after a phone call was made to NY, makes it even harder to understand how the NFl doesnt change bad calls that change the outcome of a game. They felt the need to change that call, but not the obvious bad calls we have witnessed this season.
 
The two worst calls of the day from McVay were the 4th and 8 screen to Kyren—which I assume he called because he wasn’t confident we could protect Stafford in a traditional drop back setting—and then the 4th down run to Davis Allen. We’ve been a really shitty short yardage running team for three years and you can tell it’s in his head now.
Coaches and especially Mcvay overthinks basic stuff. Hes very creative but needs someone to ground him and say No.

If every Ram fan here was in a room and Mcvay suggested his short yardage plan with TE Allen I am positive is would overwhelmingly be a No with the exception of a few idiots. Allen is a tall TE with no power or running ability. Why on Gods green earth would you expect him to plow threw a tackler on a critical down. It's like throwing to Tutu over the middle on 4th down. Common sense and experience tell you he might not be the best guy to catch in traffic.

It's literally insane what Mcvay does sometimes. He needs someone in his ear and not a Yes man.

He hasn’t been as crisp as he was last year but he’s also getting hit a lot more than he did last year. Also in 2 of the 4 losses, he led the team on what should’ve been a game winning touchdown drives. And in another loss he led the team down the field for what should’ve been game winning FG drive.

The very best QBs in football have plays where they don’t see open WRs or they miss throws. Every single game. But I will concede he has to be *great* for this team to go on a deep playoff run. If he’s just “pretty good” or “decent”, this is a 9-8 team.
 
I want to know what you think it is.

I think the Rams have overlooked too many problems. Losing forces identification of them and the required changes.

We could go down the list and start with Garrett being out exposing the weakness of our front. They needed fresh blood on the DL this last offseason and didn't get it. Specifically physicality. They needed ILB talent but didn't get it. We have a front seven who just want to rush the QB, they aren't interested or tooled to do the work. Offense same deal. Remove Jackson and this OL isn't all that, and Jackson is a dude who had blood clots and is obviously stupid as fuck as it pertains to women, he's a risk in any season tbh. Wideouts are Puka and the funky bunch. Puka being an elite possession wideout but where's the explosive threat overall in the room. It's not there.

And then you have teams, where it's a reflection of the quality of the bottom of the roster. The depth chart is just not that great.

QB has to be mentioned. Staff's a good QB still but like I mentioned weeks ago if we don't win games in this window it is going to make the Rams ask the question: why are we starting an old QB when we are losing games? Because the truth is sometimes the QB loses the team just like a coach does. When the other 10 believe in that QB they're gonna bring more every snap. And conversely the opposite.

As it pertains to McVay's staff I think he needs more quality in his DC role. Also I don't think his OC is all that so hopefully he gets hired away this offseason. I'd like to see him give his current TE coach a look in the OC role, or hire from outside his petri dish.

I think the bottom line is the Rams have filled their roster for too long without those early picks, and they used to circumvent that with elites from trade. But they look like an old and tired team who needs an infusion of a great draft class. They need young wideout talent that can make corners shit their pants. Or a young offball backer who can own the middle of the field and snuff out running QBs. Or specialized teams types who can be gunners and returners etc bottom of the roster.
