Losing Woods on Friday CLEARLY had a much bigger impact than how fast we were able to integrate 2 new players.
The problem is that the Titans and the Whiners had us down 14-0.
The 3 man front is no that effective against running teams because you have 5 O linemen against 3 D linemen and some backers.
I think Von Miller will make a difference down the road.
I’d also like to say we have Jim Harbaugh coaching us like The Wolverines, we just cast beat The Ohio State 49ers

Or we can pick another 120 pound WR
Which is why Stafford has to be disciplined and not waste downs on low percentage plays, especially when you may have to keep up with another high powered offense and needing to keep that offense off the field.
He has to still be more game manager and less gunslinger.

The Immaculate Exception
I need to take this BYE week and stay away from footfall period. Why would I watch other teams prosper and possibly knock us out of our chances of being in the race for the SB.? While the team I love is coming up short. Like seriously this shit is tragic. Its almost like this…
Point taken. I don't recall any examples outside of the Bills game that the refs screwed us out of last year (where we came back from 28-3).

We traded for an older veteran. It's frustrating watching him make rookie-like decisions.
I think it’s only logical to question McVay after a game like this. My question is this: is McVay a mediocre head coach, a bad play caller or both? Hear me out before you get all up in arms:
His play calling is shit at times. Square peg in a round hole and he just won’t adjust until it’s too late, if at all. You don’t go up against a physical defense like the Titans or today’s Niners the same way you go up against a bottom feeder like Houston. But McVay does, he calls the same game regardless of the opponent. That’s NOT indicative of a good coordinator, it’s arrogant if you ask me. When it works, it works. When it doesn’t, it REALLY doesn’t. Our offensive philosophy seems to be pass like hell, for better or worse. Down by 14 or up by 14, no patience in the run game. It blows my mind how, short of a few splash plays, our run game is so anemic.
For him as a head coach. Do I believe he’s a good leader of men? Yes I do. But some of his decisions as a HEAD COACH are head scratching. Allowing some of his staff go for lateral moves instead of promoting them. Hiring Morris as DC during your Super Bowl window. Continuing to play offensive coordinator while your team needs your attention elsewhere (defense, special teams?). Drafting Tutu Atwell with your only premium pick when there are actual needs elsewhere. All of these are decisions he’s making as a head coach that make me scratch my head.
I don’t think there’s a guy I’d rather have on the open market right now. But I think that McVay needs to do some serious soul searching and figure out what’s important. Whatever he’s been doing has been good, just not good enough to bring us a Lombardi and I think we can all agree is the end goal.

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

Stafford should watch how Mahomes played this past week. After some shitty performances he got back to basics, stopped worrying about making splash plays, took what the D gave him and they blew the Raiders out. Hopefully Stafford can make the same adjustments.
I said this after the Cardinal game. He is not used to managing games. He is used to doing it all himself or he is just wired that way and it might be the reason he never elevated the Lions above their talent level.
I also feared his talent level would seduce McVay to get even further away from a balanced offense. Much like Marino did with Shula and countless other big armed star QBs that became one dimensional flying circuses that would crash in big games.
Rams look like a playoff team, but not a championship caliber team.
First time this year I'd have to grudgingly admit that.

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.

I drink things, and know nothing
I agree. I didn’t feel like taking the time to call all of them out.
