SF round 1 Vent Thread

[Ellard80]

If I'd wanted to see our QB play like shit in big games, I didn't have to give up 2 1st rounders and a 3rd to do it.

WTF is up with Stafford?

he wasn't good... but it was bad across the board...

we had 5 drops... include 3 on 3rd down... dropped TD pass.

Defense gave up two 90 yard drives...

all around shit show.

 

[wolfdogg]

And in the last two games he's been straight shit and put us in a huge hole in the 1st quarter. Lets not act like that's not reality. Pretty sure most people here are laying the blame on everybody but a few players top to bottom.

I've said in another post there is plenty of blame to go around but 3 weeks ago he was a legit mvp candidate on a team he'd only played with for 8 games. 2 of the picks over the last 2 games were on the receivers and I missed the first drive but it sounds like obj may have slowed up on the route making the ball appear to be overthrown.

I've really not liked watching these past 2 games but I want to see how the team plays the packers off our bye before I lift the glass on the panic button

This team has no desire to play rough & tough middle-grade NFL football. said it earlier last month no better than a 10-7 team at best.

Tons of future investments are involved in this non-competitive Disneyland playoff team .... McVay bad decisions are now showing up. What is going to happen now that this ship has sailed off course with a broken rudder? With very little materials to fix it far into the future.

McVay/Morris is not a good duo going into the playoffs picture. Both are a problem that will bring sadness to the Ram fans

A seriously overhyped NFL team not built anywhere close tough enough.

Nailed it.

We are an overhyped team that is short on resources to fix the issues heading forward. The team has had a cocky vibe to them all year, and this was greatly ramped up after the Von Miller and OBJ acquisitions.

At this stage, and considering our tough remaining schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if we missed the playoffs. Which would be hilarious considering all the Super Bowl/ring talk from many of the players just a few weeks ago.

This team needs to mentally and physically toughen up before we can even dream of talking about 'rings'.

Rams is a pass happy team. No balance. Once again in redzone and they don't run the ball. First drive looked promising then they "had" throw a deep one into double coverage. Running lanes were there. OL loves to run block so let them.
Defense: this skeleton defense sucks. They sit back flatfooted while opposing teams are running at full speed by them. Defensive players are watching the QB instead of sticking with receivers. Quit looking into backfield.

 

[AZRams]

Buffalo last yr. His offense rebounded to take the lead late, the D just gave it up.

They didn't give it up, the Zebras took it with that bullshit PI call.

 

[AZRams]

Oh, and fuck you, Kyle.

 

[AZRams]

We traded for an older veteran. It's frustrating watching him make rookie-like decisions.

We didn't have to spend draft capital to buy QB play this bad. It was already on the roster...

 

[classicpony]

WE GOT OUR ASS KICKED AGAIN!!! This is bullcrap! After last week I though they would take it out on S.F. We put on your big girl panties Ram now we have to see Cards drop some games so we can get in make taking the West in out back pocket..

 

[AZRams]

We busted teams chops under Jeff Fisher, but that didn't get us far......

Yeah, but Fisher didn't recognize an NFL offense even when it was running him over.

 

[iamme33]

you know for years some of us have been saying we need ol help especially at center. but not only that but we need help at inside lb and free safety. also myself i think we need a real fb. it is amazing that i was just starting to think that all the things i thought we needed were wrong. after all allen seemed to be a vast improvement over blythe. i was just beginning to think edwards was going to get to almost pro bowl level and we could get by with our inside lbers and safeties. now i have to think we don't have very many draft picks and so many holes to fill. now it seems we need an offensive center offensive gaurd and depending on what whitworth and haveinatien do we may even need a new tackle (can't count on evens). we also need a vary fast snout blowing inside lb and a good coverage safety. also to me we need a real fb although i don't know if mcvay would use him. anyway if they don't get all these things fixed we don't have enough high picks to fix them. so i guess all i can do is hope mcvay gets this fixed

 

[AZRams]

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

They have it, McVay doesn't wanna use it. Of late yes, I get it, you go down big early and the GP goes out the window. But for gawd's sake, they averaged 5.1 YPC last night...what are you waiting for, an engraved invitation?

 

[PhillyRam]

They didn't give it up, the Zebras took it with that bullshit PI call.

Well they converted two 4th & a mile on that last drive as well.

 

[Faceplant]

That was probably the most humiliating loss ever. The "all in" BS.... All the hype..... They are a 10-7 team at best. What a shame.

 

[snackdaddy]

The problems were across the board. Stafford was only part of it. If he played better they still lose. They can't compete with teams that want to impose their will physically. They aren't built for that. When they went all in they thought that would be good enough. They were wrong.

 

[Loyal]

After sleeping on it, how embarrassing was that performance? I looked at Von and OBJ last night and wondered if they regretted coming to LA? I don't have regular TV anymore and so I watch a lot of YouTube videos for entertainment and found myself avoiding any mention of the NFL or the Rams. I hate the 49ers so much and they exposed us last night in that shitty stadium, which shows having a premier stadium won't win any games for you. Right now it looks bleak. Fucking dark as a bottomless pit.

 

[OntarioRam]

With Akers and Woods, the Rams are just barely tough enough at the skill positions to win a slug-fest. The Rams are a finesse team either way. But with Akers and Woods, its gives us *just* enough jam to play a tougher style of football. Woods is a very tough runner after the catch, despite his skinny frame. He is also an elite run blocker, as far as WRers go, and opens thing up with his pre-snap movement, which lets you run the ball more. Akers also has a much more physical running style than Hendo. If Hendo even tried to be a bruiser, he'd only get injured.

Losing Mundt hurts as well - he is valuable in two TW sets.

Without the aove players, this team will never score enough points on physical fronts.

How can you build a football team that, after losing only 2 players, none of which are your QB or WR1, completely falls apart physically?

This all, of course, ultimately falls on McVay and Snead. The team is built in their image. All they want to do is be pass happy. That is NOT a recipe for a deep playoff run. It can win you some games, and you need a passing game with explosive plays. But diversity of attack is just as important.

Look at our yards per carry. The running lanes are there. The offensive line is playing great. Why are the RBs not being used?

Even with a prime Gurley, McVay still didn't want to run the football. If you won't run the football with a top 3 RB of the decade, with simultaneously only a middling QB in Goff, you need your head examined.

It has been at least 5 years of the same mistakes. "I need to self reflect". " I need to put players in a better position to succeed". "We have to do some soul searching". "That's not who we are". At this point, he is either lying, or simply incapable of adjusting. At this point, I am just as offended by McVay's lines as I was by Jeff Fisher's "we'll fix that".

I think the Rams will be in danger of losing the room soon. That leads to a crossroads. Do we become a huge dumpster fire? Or does the coaching staff FINALLY make adjustments?

Ramsey already was giving Morris some smack talk - rightfully so.

Whitworth after the loss to the Titans already commented that the offensive line was opening up running lanes and holding up well in pass pro to hit a variety of short and intermediate routes - but McVay kept calling long developing pass plays, for some crazy reason, against a tenacious pass rush. How much longer until the offensive line says "enough is enough"?

Ass kickings happen to every team. 7-3 is still a good record. There is nothing wrong with being a wild card or playing on the road in playoffs. None of that stuff matters. The only reason I am pessimistic that this team will ever go anywhere with McVay at the helm is because the Rams lose the same way, consistently, for several years on end. The sample size is undeniable at this point. Any team with the horses to out muscle us will do so. We will have no answer. We'll be bounced in embarrassing fashion.

 

[AZRams]

Well they converted two 4th & a mile on that last drive as well.

True but the D stopped them on the last 4thd down attempt and the game was over. The PI was bullsht. That should have been the game...

 

[ottoman89]

Stafford wasn't great, but was only part of the problem. I don't put that Pick 6 on him. He has to have some sort of injury. Also, the Rams had an astronomical amount of drops. OBj had only been here a few days. Van really let me down. Skronek looked alright. But we all knew it was going to take a big adjustment and feeling out how to run the O without Woods.

Raheem Morris is 100% a problem. Quit being so fucking cute with Ramsey and put him on the best WR on 3rd down. The delaying blitzing with him is so comical and undeniable idiotic. Williams didn't forget how to play DB, they have something different they're doing with him. Raheem is destory

Our Safeties are NOT good and were a helluva lot better with Staley. Having Troy Reeder as a starter is a huge defect of our D. Losing SJD hurt big time.

I have ZERO faith in our Defense and that's pathetic considering we're loaded with talent. Raheem is destroying this Defense. And it's quite evident that Ramsey is getting pissed off and I am 100% for it.

It's the same shit we've seen since McVay has been here, ANY TIME we play a physical team, we're toast. It doesn't matter our record, or there's. That's how it is. We need to starting drafting and signing some mean mother fuckers.

McVay is still a great coach and I'm thankful he's ours. Stafford is still a great QB, and I'm thankful he's ours. QBs have bad spurts. It happens to the best of them. He's a gunslinger, and too be expected.

This bye week happened at a perfect time. They get to dwell on this for 2 weeks and HOPEFULLY come back more hungry and pissed off. They need to cut the marketing bullshit too. Go play ball and win games. We don't give a fuck about your off field shit.

 

[AZRams]

This Dick Face needs to go up on the bulletin board as Public Enemy #1. If Ramsey isn't on him all day next time around, the entire Defensive coaching staff should be canned.

Fuck this guy...

Had that gold chain ready on the sideline for this game.

Tells you how little they respect the Rams. They KNOW they own the Rams, period.
