SF round 1 Vent Thread

[Mackeyser]

Yup. On paper coming into this game our O was better than their D and our D was better than their O.

It came down to coaching. We simply got out coached, and in that, out played as well

Yep. And it didn't help that we tackled for shit making Deebo Samuel seem like he was wearing a Dune shield... He may be hard to tackle, but he's not freaking Barry Sanders... tackle the damn guy, already.

 

[Mackeyser]

Yup, that's what I expect as well....when they went "all in" this season, I suspect most didn't anticipate the "bill" that comes due for these moves beginning next season.

Ernest Jones can and will be that guy, but he's not quite there, yet.

 

[Mackeyser]

Bring back Jeff Fisher as DC. There, I said it

Well, firstly, he'd never do it, and secondly, I don't like his style of play... we were heavily penalized with stupid shit and him coming in would only make it worse.

 

[Da-Rock]

Talking McVay or Morris being replaced is a waist of time......McVay runs the show and he will win enough games every year to keep the job for 20 years. We just won't have many playoff wins and no super bowl.....but hey, we will have a winning record and that's all that counts.

 

[Mackeyser]

What road, you mean the final 7 games?

This team never had the depth, if the starters could stray healthy they had a reasonable shot...now, they've simply lost too many skill players to recover.

They took a shot, it was exciting for a time, but reality is now setting in. Sadly, this little game of giving away picks and loading up a few malcontents on the down side isn't going to amount to a hill of beans.

Next year the bill begins to come due and it won't be pretty. As for McVay's future with the Rams, I'd put it closer to 7 years than 10.

Literally, none of this is true.

We've had depth or we wouldn't have a winning record every year under McVay and a Super Bowl appearance.

Reality is setting in? WTF are you on about. We've had Von Miller and OBJ for ONE GAME and neither has been able to really get into the playbook, Miller because of his rehab on his ankle and OBJ because he literally only just got here.

Also, you simply cannot underestimate how much losing Woods AFTER the install for this game hurt. Skow had no way to fill those shoes and when the game was still in reach, we didn't have Bobby Trees to look to. Skow missed a big block and dropped early passes that Woods doesn't typically drop (although his last game did have a few uncharacteristic drops). Bottom line for Woods is that his late scratch REALLY hurt the game planning for this game and then having to wedge OBJ into the mix was too much to battle a smash mouth team where execution is paramount.

the bill comes due? Oh, you mean how we lose $40+M in dead cap and have Les Snead and Tony Pastoors to configure contracts to keep all these additions as well as figure out our OL?

Sorry, the loss sucked and I'm so upset I can't sleep or even get my hands to stop shaking... but this? This is pure nonsense.

Lastly, this is McVay's fifth year. I don't bet, but if I did, I'd go all in on McVay lasting far longer than 7 years. We aren't the damn Chargers firing a 14-2 HC.

True, we're not and won't be 14-2.

I have thought all year that lack of depth was a problem. If we hadn't had to eat so much cap we could have kept a few more of our proven players who might have made a big difference in games like these.

But the immediate problem right now is much more specific. We were outcoached on both sides of the ball. We were also outplayed, but I would like to think our players could have done better with a different approach.

 

[The Ramowl]

Maybe the most precious bye in the history of byes.

Shame on the whole organisation for this joke, this is a general failure and we got crushed by a 3-5 team.

We are lacking depth and our secondary has become poor. I was giving Morris time but I've seen enough, he's below average, can't get teams off the field.

The offense looks like it has been figured out. Stafford needs to get his shit together because this is unacceptable.

We thought we were a very good team and so did the players and coaches. We're not and the rest of our schedule is brutal.

 

[Da-Rock]

Yeah, I just can't get over how bad of a coach McVay was this week. I get Morris, he only knows how to coach one way and its not a winning way, but McVay is supposed to be a genius. As others have said, everyone knew the 49ers would run the ball and eat up the clock while playing good defense.....that is what every football team that has beaten the Rams for 5 years has done.

McVay knew that, knew what he had in players and still tried to beat the 49ers with his same old game plan. I bet you Shanny was dumbfounded that his friend coached the Rams to play it that way. Reminds me of the Patriots saying that they didn't see a single "new" thing in McVay's game plan for the Super Bowl.

 

[UKram]

Waking up at 4.30am two weeks in a row to watch what we have seen has me questioning my salinity

We were blown out make no mistake (by a heated rival that was 3-5 ) we were punched in the mouth and took it like bitches

I’m not generally a sky Is falling type guy and having woods may have made a difference it might have not but you gotta play with the cards you’re dealt . Morris is bad flat out bad this was the number 1 D last year and tonight we looked like the 31st .. it’s all gotta be scheme it’s mostly the same players minus one or two I knew this game was a loss after that first niners drive we were not gonna stop them when it mattered

Our QB last year woulda been brutalised by this forum if he has two games in a row like Matty just had .. and it’s amusing to see the excuses goff supporters used now being used to excuse Stafford’s play

Mcvay needs a foot up his ass and figure shit out.

I’ve been nervous about the fuck dem picks approach and sure we can pick up decent serviceable players in the mid to late rounds .. but by god this team in the next few years will need some young 1st round talent to make any kind of deep run into the play offs .. AD isn’t getting any younger Miller and OBj are maybe 1 year rentals at most possibly 2 (and they are a year younger ) and while it’s fine for the all in approach you gotta win it all for it to be a success

Heal up over the bye do some soul searching because once again the blueprint on how to beat the rams and badly is out there

 

[ProGen]

This Rams team is built all wrong. Soft in the worst places.

McVay is losing his shine, and this defense is shocking. All those picks, all those trades, all those BIG names......and this is the product on the field?!?!

"All in" they say? Well, the bet didn't pay off. The question is now - how fucked is this team heading forward?

I'm still ticked off at this loss also, but to say the season is already lost is premature. Von Miller I believe will make the defense better despite Morris and losing Woods is a blow but hopefully McVay has a plan for OBJ.

After the 90's and Jeff Fisher, McVay is a breath of fresh air.

 

[Kupped]

The fact that Debo had that chain ready to go tonight shows you just how little they respect the Rams.

Holy moly.. just completely disgusted by what I saw.

For the first time, I’m starting to have real concerns about McVay.

 

[Giles]

while saying that stafford may not be as great as some think.. maybe.

acting like the QB wasnt a problem the last couple years... no way... stafford already has more TD passes then goff did all of the last two seasons...

Really?
2020- Rams were 7-3 while being 4-1 against playoff teams during that time.
2021- Rams are 7-3 and 1-2 against teams with winning records (can't predict if those same teams will make the playoffs but they should) with the same issues we saw the year before.
So where is the improvement? The results are the same.

 

[ProGen]

The Cam Akers injury was bigger than many anticipated. This team badly needs a run game.

 

[SWAdude]

oops! My bad. I thought this was the suicide hotline.

Wrong number. Deepest apolog…………………. Boom.

Appears like coaching issues to me.

 

[Braindead]

Yes we need a run game, but that is on McVay. He just loves to throw the ball too much. Don't know if it would be any different with Akers in the field.

 

[kurtfaulk]

By two scores, I should have said two TDs. That is what I meant. I don't consider 10-0 to be an overly big hole. Now, 10-0 is certainly not a tiny deficit. And it's not easy to battle back from. Full marks for coming back from it. I certainly remember that game well. It is probably the Rams game I look back on most fondly, discounting the 1999 Super Bowl win. But the psychological challenge to come back from 14-0 is much larger than 10-0, and is IMO the score point at which things start to "look bleak", hence why I had that in mind as an arbitrary query point.

It was actually 0-13 in that game.

100%

This performance was pathetic on its own.

Coming off last week?!???!

MAJOR red flags.

 

[kurtfaulk]

So maybe it isn't the QB.

Doesn't mean the move for Stafford wasn't the right move.

Pretty sure Stafford had nothing to do with our run defense that allowed them to run the ball more than 40 times...

It's got nothing to do with the move for Stafford.

It's just amusing how people's hate for one player made them oblivious to the actual problem. Which is how the defense couldn't get off the field in any of those games.

They have no idea how to defend the whiners. None. So many missed tackles. So easily faked out. They're fucking useless against the whiners and have been for 5 games.

I was going to watch this game on Gamepass, but after reading this thread I think I’ll save myself the three hours and the stress of it.
