That punt return was the worst ever. Hell of a way to lose a season

Only our secondary could make Darnold look like Joe Montana

I sure haven’t. And all choke jobs. I’ve been plenty disappointed over 47 years of Rams losses but never like this season.
Some thoughts:
-Special teams have been hampering this team for 3 YEARS. Unacceptable and absolute arrogance to have not brought in a true upgrade at ST coach.
-I honestly don't think Chris Shula is a bad coach. He's just not the right coach for our defensive unit. He cannot adjust, seemingly didn't develop a single guy (in fact many of our guys regressed arguably) and constantly puts players in bad positions.
-Matthew Stafford is an absolute stud. I hate we didn't see him hoist another one this year. So proud of his performance this year. Same with Puka
-I also feel Kyren and K Dot deserve a lot of praise. They were so critical to our offense this year.

Shit tackling. As a fan, watching bad tackling one of the most frustrating things.
We should bring Rex Ryan in as DC. Add some BALLS to this D.
Praying, that some team falls for the Shula "last name bullshit."
They also get credit for the team being good enough to get to NFCC.
Let's actually give Shula some decent DBs to work with. Our corners sucked balls all year long.
I'm not sure we would have won in LA. The secondary and ST are still bad no matter where you play.
The refs did fuck us in this game too. The non face mask call should have given us 1st and goal. We got 3 points, lost by 4.
Is it against the rules to block a fucking gunner on punt return? Forbes was trash today and we haven't had a return game all season. Either McVay isn't spending enough time on it in practice or the guys we have running it just aren't good. Nothing special about our ST this year.
I won't vent. Seattle got it done. That muffed punt was really the dagger!!!
Can't root for the Patriots. Best thing that can happen. Seattle wins the SB and has a 2026 hangover. The Rams draft a couple of corners and a punt return specialist/WR. We find a ST coach and go after it next year. Stafford doesn't win MVP next year but gets SB MVP.
Pretty fitting that we have a huge ST fuckup in the biggest game of the year. That's our season in a nutshell.

A couple thoughts: 1) the Carolina and Atlanta regular season losses prevented home field and made an extra game necessary. None of that should have happened and cost this team a SB IMO.
2) Does Stafford want to make another run? If not this off season will be about trying to pry Joe Burrow loose from Cin.
3) I hate drafting secondary players high but really there is no choice. The player I think that could make a huge impact but probably is drafted before we pick is Caleb Downs Safety from Ohio St. Looks like a generational talent.
4) My hat is off to Sam Darnold didn't choke the game him and we couldnt make him do it.
5) I see a rout upcoming in the SB. Sea Chickens gonna stomp a a mud hole in NE. Today was the actual SB.
5) At least Puka won me a couple bucks on Prize Picks. Thanks for helping numb the pain Puka.
6) UGH!

High and sight I guess we should have kept that draft pick last year and drafted a corner that could atleast cover a light post

Maybe they should watch some Rugby in the off season to see how to tackle!
The ST mistake after not being able to close out the first half was 14 points. It really comes down to that.
We know we can win with the rest of our shortcoming like we have throughout the season. Yes DB's were not good enough.
McCreaery looked like another guy who can't tackle well enough.

Bene that way since Phillips was our DC. It's a McVay-ism at this point. Hes terrified of getting beat deep and pressures the DC's to keep everything in front of them.
Never said they didn't did I? Merely citing that the weaknesses of the team are because of their decisions.
