McVay’s ability to rally his team, make crucial in-game adjustments, and guide them to victory on the grandest stage exemplified his coaching brilliance and solidified his place among the league’s elite coaches.’

The game against the saints was a magnificent display from the Rams. The most hostile environment imaginable and they still managed to pull back a 13 point deficit.

Too bad they weren't given a lick of credit for it after the game or before the superbowl.

Haven't watched an espn show after their disgusting display after the game and the two weeks leading up to the superbowl. They must have shown the missed call about 2000 times in those two weeks. I would tape the nfl live show and I would go through it on fast forward to see if there was anything worth watching and without fail I would see the missed call maybe 100 times in the one show. Every single day for two weeks the Fuckwits.

It was a different result with the Rams overcoming an even more blatant missed call against them with the no call face mask in the Super Bowl against the Bengals - but little to no outrage in comparison for a non-call that was far more obvious.

There have been a lot of great games under Sean McVay and I basically agree with the list, but I would replace either the Vikings or Saints NFCCG with the Niner NFCCG. I believe we were down by 10 points in the 4th quarter against an elite defense. Yes, it was at home but SoFi was swamped by Niner fans wanting to soil SoFi by beating us a second time in the NFCCG. For my mental health, we HAD to beat them. Super Bowl 56 was almost a let down compared to this win.

And never a mention of all the no-calls and all the poor officiating that went against the Rams. We proved to be the tougher team.

As much as I enjoyed the vikings game and of course, that insane chiefs game, I offer 2 replacements:
1) how about overcoming a 10 point deficit vs the 9ers in the NFC title game? They stayed the course using a formula that would come in handy 2 weeks later in the SB. That 9er game WAS the SB, much like the old raider/steeler playoff games were. The uncalled face mask to start the 2nd half is what made the SB interesting; otherwise, I believe the bengals would have been rolled up.

2) 2017 game against the cowboys. After such a long, crappy run, the McVay era required a big win—something the Rams struggled to get for several years. Going on the road (Dallas of all places) and coming from behind to win that game, the McVay era started. The cowboys were supposed to be a playoff team that year, not the Rams; but suddenly, there weren’t any limitations to how good the Rams could be—overnight.

Besides, how can you NOT have a game from 2017? This team became relevant again, and the McVay era of winning and having a winning culture had arrived.

If I could add a #5 to the list, I would add the playoff win over the Cowboys in 2018. McVay made his bones with his innovative passing game, yet in this one, was able to find an exploit a weakness in the Cowboys run D. The result? The Rams used the running game and pounded the Cowboys D like a $2 hooker on military payday. They were ranked something like 5th against the run coming in, but they couldn't stop it at all no matter how much we telegraphed it. Total physical dominance.

 

[TexasRam]

I agree with everyone in this thread.

WTF is going on man.

 

[PARAM]

All 4 of those games were great but certainly not the "only 4". I rewatched the 2021 Wild Card Game last night. It was perhaps the most dominant win under McVay. The offense didn't have the numbers like those other games because of the defense. After 35 minutes of play Kyler Murray had 28 yards passing and OBJ had 40!!! They didn't run a play in Rams territory until after the half IIRC. McVay was eating clock with the run by the end of the first half!!! It was a spanking of epic proportion.

 

[UnknownREknown]

I don't see how 2021's NFCC game doesn't make it but other than that, hell yeah!

 

[Reddog99]

The NFCCG against the Saints was great but the no call kinda taints it a bit. I would change that game out with either the 2018 playoff game against the Cowboys or the 2017 game where the Rams steamrolled the Seahawks 42-7. Both of those games a very satisfying to rewatch.

I remember reading somewhere that McVay went to the team before that game to give them a pep talk, but after taking a look in their eyes, deciding they didn't need one. The results emphatically illustrate how right he was, good lord what a beatdown that was.

 

[Classic Rams]

I like those mentioned, and also like the playoff win vs Cowboys in 2018. Gosh there's so many McVay/Rams games to like. Nice problem to have.

The BEST part for me was watching the Hawk fans stream out at half time and their news reported about...They even interviewed them. GLORIOUs

this should be a poll

 

[RAMSinLA]

Beating the 49ers to get into the Superbowl is a stand out game

 

[sjm1582002]

McVay's very first game was a 46 - 9 blowout of the Colts.

I thought "After all these years, do we finally have a real HC?"

He has been all too real.
